It was our first time staying in a tiny cabin! We are very outdoorsy folks so planned to spend some time outside during our stay here. The cabin suited our needs well. It was heated, came with a mini fridge and microwave. We brought our kitchen gear to cook all of our meals outside. The outhouse was close by, and all amenities were clean. The host was welcoming & even built us a campfire! Great location to access the smokies and neighboring towns.

This was a cozy, peaceful stay. Lots of great hiking, camping, and restaurants nearby. The host was communicative and helpful. The cabin is close to a general store for last-minute supply needs.

I decided to book this cabin for an extended stay based on the previous reviews and they were all correct. The owner, Greg, could not of been kinder or more accommodating. Thank again Greg. It was great meeting you. Hope to see you again.

Just what I needed

It was just myself on this trip. The cabin was perfect for what I needed. Close to the blue ridge parkway. Close to a lot of hiking. The cabin itself was clean and well maintained. It was about 3 or 4 miles to Sylva with restaurants and any supplies I needed. Greg was friendly and made the process very easy. I left 4 days early because of the storm Helene. Wish I could have stayed.

Quiet simplicity

Traveling for Wilderness first responder training and wanted a quiet place to end my day. Greg, my host, was very welcoming and provided a peaceful little oasis. Super clean and quiet. Perfect for 1 or two people

The perfect stress free getaway!

Simple, clean and budget friendly. If you want to be able to enjoy nature, relax to the sounds of the birds and babbling creek, or test your fishing skills, this is your place! The owner was a first rate host, and went the extra mile to help me enjoy my stay. A wonderful place to visit!

Good place, good host

Good affordable way to explore the area. Nice new platform with chairs on the bank of the beautiful creek, a great feature. Friendly host provided coat hangers on request. Cabin could use small chest of drawers or set of shelves as place to unpack clothes into. Whole place is clean, with newish feel to it. Important note: shower/sink/toilet room is separate from cabin, 15-20 feet away. It was exclusively ours, but having to emerge from our cabin to use it was something I would have preferred to know explicitly beforehand. Good place overall which my girlfriend enjoyed, which is the most important thing, with good kind honest host.

Quiet and pleasant stay

The cabin was a very peaceful place to stay! I loved the location--the sound of the creek right behind the cabin was especially relaxing. The cabin itself was quiet, clean, and comfortable. I was there for a slightly longer stretch after moving, and there was plenty of storage space. Greg was a friendly and welcoming host, and was happy to help and answer any questions I had. I enjoyed staying here and would definitely recommend!

Week to Unplug

This was a great place to stay during a week when I wanted to unplug and recharge. Close to town, so you can easily reach restaurants, but far enough away to feel private. The cabin is small, but there's plenty of room to store things, so it never felt cluttered. I had no plans and brought stuff to do a number of things. There's a creek behind the cabin that was a constant relaxing sound and helped sleep. And Greg was a great host - communicating when he would be around the property working/making noise, but also making sure any needs are met. Would definitely stay here again.
