We have stayed here 4 times and definitely hope there will be more in the future. Cabin is convenient to the entrance to the GSMNP. It is clean, well provided, and right on the river. There are two very adequate bedrooms, a nice living room and a well supplied kitchen. We also love the back porch that overlooks the river.

Perfect place for a quiet getaway. Our stay was a girls trip. The cabin is conveniently located so you feel removed from the hubbub but still have options for dining and touristy activities. We enjoyed sitting on back porch watching the Canadian Geese and listening to the water rush by. Great place I plan on being a repeat visitor . We also got to watch the hay field out front be mowed and then baled. Cozy clean and homey. Thank you.

This cute cabin was perfect for the two of us. It was very clean and comfy. However, it is difficult to get down to the river because there is a steep bank with no steps. We would still happily stay here again.
