Excellent Property
Our absolute favorite property in the Greeneville area. Conveniently located - close enough to Greeneville for shopping and 30 minutes from the Cherokee National Forest. Hiked this time on Phillips Hollow Trail. The owners are easy to connect with, if necessary. Be sure to visit Troyer's Mountain View Country Market for some awesome sandwiches and smoothies.
We stayed here while touring the area for property. Although we weren't able to spend much time there it was a lovely cabin that was fully stocked right down to the coffee and bathroom essentials! Pots, pans, glasses were plentiful so we didn't have to wash dishes by hand constantly. I find this a plus since not all offer this in my experiences. Hostess was easy to reach. Very dog friendly!!
The property was just as listed online, everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our 4 and 10 year old had so much fun outside on the tire swing and playing in the big yard, and we all enjoyed walking the area and seeing the beautiful mountains and scenery. The home itself was spacious and felt just like a home away from home.

We stayed for 2 nights with our dogs and this rental was perfect. House was so cute, well equipped, nicely laid out and so cozy! The yard was gorgeous and so close to anything you could need. Host was very responsive and accommodating! Highly recommend.

Great location
This is our second time staying here and we will stay here again! Perfectly placed for those who want to explore the area. We hiked at Roan Mountain State Park and along the Appalachian Trail - Culver's Gap is a must for hikers! Only about 15 minutes from town. The cabin is a great place to relax at the end of a long day.

From the owner: "I'm so happy that y'all came back! We love having you guys. Thank u for the feedback about the driveway, we had rock delivered yesterday, so we're smooth sailing from here on! We hope to have you back again!"
Because we enjoyed this property so much, we stayed again! It is a clean, well-appointed cabin in a great location. It is close to the main road, but you feel off the beaten path when you are here. We appreciate that we can bring our dog who enjoys watching the squirrels, birds, and other wildlife, and most of all she LOVES running in the yard.
Nice cabin close to Cherokee National Forest and Painted Creek. Quiet location with easy access to main road, but far enough off there is no noise. The only noise at night besides the crickets is the train that rumbles through. Very enjoyable.

We stayed at this amazing cabin during our wedding weekend. We got married in Greeneville, and this cabin was perfectly located and had ample amount of space. Staying here definitely took a lot of stress out of our trip. Everything was spotless and organized so well. I actually got to talk to the property owner who was so kind. We would definitely recommend this location to others staying in the area!
Home was clean and easy to access. We enjoyed the tire swing and space in the home. It was very easy to relax and unwind. Only 8 minutes from Tusculum University and about 10-15 minutes from a variety of food options. Will be back.

Rest and Relaxation
One of the best places to stay in the Greeneville area. Certainly our preferred location when we visit the area. Very close to Cherokee National Forest with many trails for hiking. We spent a day in Gatlinburg which is within an hour drive. If you visit Gatlinburg from here you drive by the Bush Bean Company which has a nice museum to visit. This property is well maintained and has a lot of room inside and out. Additionally, the owner is very responsive to any requests. We have never had any issues, but are confident if we did, they would be handled quickly.

Peaceful, Easy Feeling
This has become one of our favorite places to stay in the east Tennessee area. One day we did a nice easy hike in the Tusculum University Nature Trail and, at the end, sat and sipped some drinks at Creamy Cup coffee shop. The next day we climbed Margaretta Falls near Camp Creek. This trail was very difficult, but the falls were beautiful. Each evening we sat on the porch and watched the sunset making it a perfect ending to the day. In addition to the hikes and sunsets, the owner was very responsive to any questions we had. Exceptional property if you like the rustic cabin feeling.
