Loved this cabin. So cosy and comfortable. The screened in front porch was wonderful to just sit and relax, with wooded views everywhere you look. Just what we were hoping for. The cabin was very clean and well stocked with everything you might need. Jane, the host was very attentive and helpful.

We loved our stay, removed from the Gatlinburg crowds, in this lovely, immaculate cabin. It was perfectly situated for our many hikes in the Smokies. This is a well appointed cabin where all of our needs were more than met. Highly recommended!
