We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. The owners were fantastic from the very beginning. We had a scheduling conflict before our trip and needed to adjust our dates, and they accommodated us immediately without any issues.The cabin was in a great location, was exceptionally clean, and the drive up to the property was smooth and easy.One of the highlights of our trip was seeing two bears. We spotted one while relaxing in the hot tub on our first night and another on our way to The Island in Pigeon Forge on our last evening.We have been coming to the Gatlinburg area every year for the past 10 years, and I can honestly say this was the best cabin we have ever stayed in. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning in the future.

This was the cleanest, sweetest, most well-appointed cabin for a spring hiking getaway! The fireplace was cozy, the hot tub lovely, and the kitchen well-stocked for cooking. I don’t recommend arriving at night if you’re a cautious driver not used to mountain roads, but aside from that, this place FAR exceeded expectations! The owner was amazing with communication and kindness. Well deserving of the exceptional rating!!
