The cabin was very clean, close enough to everything but secluded as well. We got to see a bear our first morning there. We will be back!

This was our second year staying at this cabin and we absolutely love it. We are already booked for next year too! The host is incredibly nice and the cabin is always clean and welcoming. The cabin has a fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, utensils and dinner ware for preparing meals if you don’t feel like going out. I highly recommend this cabin for your next Gatlinburg adventure!

Mountain Week Stay
We had a wonderful stay at this mountain cabin! It was absolutely perfect for two people, with identical spaces that gave each of us privacy and comfort. The layout was thoughtfully designed, and everything was clean and cozy. The location couldn’t have been better—peaceful, scenic, and close to everything we wanted to do. Driveway is a little tricky to find on the initial check in but not difficult to navigate going forward. Communication with the owner was excellent from start to finish. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and well-balanced getaway!

The only thing I wish was different, was the hot tub was covered, the huge covered front porch would have been perfect for the hot tub. One minor thing, very little pots and pans to cook with. Overall great cabin

Holiday Vacation
The house was warm and wonderful for the two couples. When we got there the Christmas tree was lit and holiday music was playing from the televisions. The house was clean and smelled like cedar. It was lovely. We were there for 8 nights during Christmas week. The house and location are lovely. We cooked some nights and the kitchen was great to cook in. The beds are comfortable however one bedroom has no closet and the other doesn’t have a dresser. Just for information, not a drawback. If we were coming back to Gatlinburg, we would definitely start again.
