Very well maintained log cabin. Warm rustic feel, utilized the cabin space to make it feel open and un cluttered. The rooms were clean with rustic bed spreads and the upstairs played as a game room. My son was so happy with his whole upstairs that he gained on this vacation. The only down fall is the hot tub outside wouldn’t heat over 58 degrees and it was a little chili for us to utilize it during our stay. Kinda disappointing, but other than that the stay was amazing relaxing and not long enough for us! Would definitely rent again.

Wonderful cabin, great location

The cabin is located off the parkway, nearly equal distance between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Although there are other cabins nearby, it feels secluded enough that we were only reminded there were neighbors while we were heading out the door. The cabin is spacious, and exactly as described.
