Such a beautiful place and really well kept.
Kalyn Drexl (Leesburg, FL)
As a family of 5 (all adults) we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The sign at the bottom of the driveway was very helpful. There was ample parking space. We loved the back porch with rocking chairs and bench swing! The downstairs area was so spacious - plenty of seating options to be gathered in the same space or to spread out. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a simple dinner. The downstairs bathroom was only big enough for one person at a time but we made it work just fine. It was nice to have the option to do laundry. The downstairs bedroom has a very comfortable bed. The loft is extra fun with the air hockey table and has a bed as well. The upstairs bedroom and bathroom are nice. Keyless entry was great. The checkout process was a little involved, but the step by step directions were helpful. Overall, we highly recommend staying in this beautiful cabin!

Nothing could have been better,, after 10 years of staying in different cabins,, we finally found one worthy returning to.. Hope it’s available for many more years….

It is an awesome cabin stocked with everything we neeðed while we were on our vacation.
Location was the best.
We booked this same cabin for this time next year while we were up there. Had to be quick or it would be unavailable. Can't wsit to next year.

Rick Bennett (SULLIVAN, IL)
Cabin was immaculate, cozy, comfortable. E-mails were very informative, check in and check out could not have been easier. I will definitely recommend Smoky Cabins to anyone who asks. A surprise visit on our front porch by a young black bear was an added bonus. Sincerely Rick Bennett
J&S Keene (Lake Wales, FL)
This cabin was very nice and in a great location. It was about a 30 minute drive to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg.
