Common Concerns:

*TV & WiFi: We do have TVs and WiFi in most of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem.
*Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Please let us know if they are causing trouble; we will handle it as quickly and efficiently as possible. Please never feed, taunt, or approach any wildlife. This is their home, and we are the visitors.

Robert Bishop - 4/8/2026
Absolutely loved it! -
Amanda Mullins - 4/1/2026
Great place to stay. Very easy check-in process and was given very good instructions about the place. The place was very clean and set up nicely. Thank you so much for a great weekend! I would stay here again. -
Brooke Haven - 3/24/2026
Great location, close to the national Park and Townsend. We enjoyed the movie room a lot and sitting on the front porch. Driveway is super steep but we had no problems with our AWD sedan. Four stars because we didn’t think the beds were super comfy (probably just personal preference), a few of the blinds weren’t fully functional. All in all, a good value for the money. -
Lamanda M Evans - 3/7/2026

Connie Winter - 9/16/2025
Had a great stay! Great host who responded very quickly to any questions I had. Very accommodating. My family and I would definitely stay there again! -
James Simpson - 9/8/2025
We truly enjoyed our stay at this cabin and property. We hope to return to this place in the very near future!! We do not have anything negative we would say about the home or its property, other than none of us can defeat mother nature!! Our personal home is also up a hill with a long, curving driveway, and these heavy rains butcher it. But can tell that you are staying on top of it after every typhoon! -
LISA SETTERS - 7/9/2025
Nice cabin. -
Stacey Robbins - 6/11/2025
Overall a comfortable stay. -
Jesse Wilder - 5/6/2025
Wonderful stay. Cabin was clean and well kept on arrival and the perfect respite for our family of 4. We especially enjoyed the pool table, hot tub, and movie theater downstairs. -
Taelyr Overbay - 2/16/2025
Everything was perfect. Very nice cabin and the perfect retreat for a getaway weekend. -
Melissa H - 11/11/2024
This cabin was perfect for our family getaway. The downstairs was fun with the pool table and theater area. We loved how close to town it was but still felt like a little cabin in the woods! -
Christy Wright - 10/16/2024
Clean, comfortable and great location. We loved cabin and had a great time. The fall decorations made it feel festive. We would love to return. -
Lauren Ema - 8/11/2024
We greatly enjoyed our stay. Cabin is beautiful, comfortable, and homey, perfect to relax in after many hikes and adventures. The cabin is close to Lamar Alexander Pkwy, with easy access to groceries, gas station, the Nat'l Park, Cades Cove, Tuckaleechee Caverns, etc. We traveled as a family of 6: 1 grandparent, 2 parents, a three children ages 6, 4, and 16 months. FYI for those with babies or toddlers, there is a door between the main floor and the basement stairs but the stairs between the main floor and the loft are accessible. We brought a play yard gate to block the stairs to the loft. Be aware, that the gravel driveway is quite steep, so an SUV might work better than a minivan for making the ascent (we were able to get most of the way up)! We enjoyed the comfortable bedrooms, the entertainment room/movie room, the hot tub, and most of all, sitting on the 2nd story porch in the evenings! We also enjoyed s/'mores around the fire pit. -
Alyssa Dowell - 6/29/2024
Beautiful and comfortable cabin. The fire pit and porch areas were very relaxing and we had a great time! -
Valerie Cotton - 6/18/2024
This Cabin was Amazing! It was exactly what we wanted and more! All new appliances and nice cooking ware to use. The space was large and spacious had plenty of things to do at the cabin! We loved it! Hope to come again! We also got to see a bear trying to get into the garbage bin! Very cool!! -
Shari Fox - 6/11/2024
We had a great time here. Cabin was awesome, comfortable and quiet. Saw plenty of wildlife while we were here. We had plenty to keep adults and kids busy. We really enjoyed the area. We were here to geocache and vacation. Close to all the big attractions, Gatlinburg, Dollywood, Cades Cove, Pigeon Forge. Great food and ambience at Dancin Bear, Apple Valleyand Old Mill in Pigeon Forge. Looking forward to another stay here. -
