We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this spacious cabin. It was an adventure just driving up to it and the seclusion was very nice. We saw plenty of wildlife during our stay as well!

Absolutely loved it!
Amanda Mullins
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 (Beavercreek, OH)
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 (Lenoir City, TN)
Beautiful! Relaxing! Quiet! A place we loved! Everything was great!
Barry Jones (Tipp City, OH)
