What a wonderful property on the quiet side of the area near the national park entrance. On bad weather days the kids loved the pool and movie theater. On good weather days very convenient to explore the park. We would stay again next time we were in the area. Still convenient 20-30 minute drive to Gatlingburg and Pigeon Forge if you want to explore the attractions there.

Beautiful home, pictures can’t even show what it truly was like throughout. It was clean, but also the owner communicated really fast and let us check in early since it was done being cleaned early. The pool was a lot big the what I thought. It was not as deep as I thought but I’d say it’s maybe 4 feet or so but it was perfect for the kids. I would stay again for sure!

Great relaxing stay!

The cabin was great and the location was perfect. Far enough away from the touristy stuff to be peaceful, but close enough to pop over for dinner/shopping. Super close to the national park entrance and some great hiking. The only constructive feedback I have is just to update the cookware in the kitchen.

Everything you want in a cabin in the woods.

Great cabin, had so much to do we hardly left to explore. When you do leave you are close enough to Gatlinburg that it is not a pain to drive and far enough away to where you don’t deal with all the people. Host was great, cabin was easy to get into and everything was clean.
