Our family had a beautiful stay at the cabin. Entire cabin is very well equipped with everything you would need-we cooked several meals and had everything we needed! We can’t wait to stay again.
The cabin was amazing and exactly as described. Exceptional on cleanliness. The hot tub was so relaxing. The view was beautiful. The location was perfect. Far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet of the woods but close enough to get to the town in about 15 minutes. Monika, the host, was wonderful in communication with check in/check out and with suggestions for restaurants. It was definitely a 5 star experience. Thank you for making our family vacation one to remember! Looking forward to returning to the cabin for another adventure!
We loved our stay in the home. The host was very responsive and the home was very clean. The attention to detail of the decor was nice. Enjoyed playing ping pong in the game room. The best part was the visit from the black bear on our last night.
It was beautifully located, clean, beautiful views, and everything was perfect for a staycation or enjoying the local fun. Coffee by the fire outside in the morning, and feet up by the fireplace at night. The game room was lots of fun too. Thank you would book again!
My family absolutely loved this place!!! I don’t even know where to start. We walked in and it was super clean. Beds were very comfortable and clean. We had fun playing games and relaxing in the hot tub. We will definitely stay here again.
The cabin is nestled in a gated community about 15 mins from Pigeon forge and 30-40 from Gatlinburg. Views are great from the cabin. All amenities worked great. The road to the cabin is steep so if ice/snow are expected on your journey I would guess you need atleast an AWD vehicle.

Super nice property.
Nice views.
Neighbors' homes are closer than I thought. Not much outdoor privacy.
Besides that it is a nice comfortable home.
We would recommend this rental 100 times over! The location was excellent—within a 15-mile radius of everything you need: grocery stores like Kroger and Publix, gas stations, and all the main attractions. There’s something to do on every block, so you’ll never get bored.The drive up to the cabin was smooth—not too steep or scary. The cabin itself was fantastic. Every bedroom had its own bathroom, which was a huge plus! I tend to worry about having enough linens, but this cabin had plenty—and even extras. I also loved that there were cozy throws at the foot of every bed.The outdoor area was spacious and could easily accommodate a large group. The hot tub was clean and ready to enjoy.We will definitely be back. Tennessee owes us nothing—it was perfect!
I could write a short story on the cabin.
But I’ll keep it simple it was beautiful,clean & stocked with anything you may need including coffee!!
The hot tub a view was perfect!
Omg the upstairs was the best! We have kids ages 19,13 & 3 along with my daughters boyfriend who is 17 and we had the best time ever…if I could change anything would be your dates….Stay a week!!!
We loved our stay for a long weekend. The house was very clean!!! Even the hot tub was sparkling!! 👏👏 (The windows could use a cleaning from the outside but that was not an issue). The beds were comfortable. There was plenty of space inside and even on the porches. Monika was very quick to respond to us and offered info to better our stay. Highly recommend!!
Great hillside cabin in the woods. A black bear came behind the cabin daily and munched on the foliage. Wonderful game room with a balcony. Rear of the house faces east which allow you to use the decks. Need to go back when the leaves are turning.
The host was very informative and provided full details of the cabin and surroundings. With the winter storm that was supposed to approach, the host provided us with options to reschedule or cancel. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary cooking supplies and even had spices, flour, sugar and steak knives! The hot tub was great and relaxing and the game room was fun.
My wife and I had a great stay at Walden’s Retreat in the Woods. The cabin was beautifully decorated, extremely clean, and located not far from the Pigeon Forge parkway. Will definitely be looking forward to staying here again. Monika was our host and was a pleasure to work with. Thanks for a great stay!
Couldn't have had a better place to stay. Clean, organized, everything worked as it should and stunning views. Thank you for a once in a lifetime stay!Pros: Gaming room, views, quietness, plenty of amenities, cozy, clean and beautiful. Cons: Had to leave... :(
We stayed at the cabin for 6 nights with a family of 6. The cabin was exactly as it looks on the website. We really enjoyed the game room and the nice deck. Would highly recommend this place for a family looking for a nice getaway.
Perfect little weekend getaway we had and enjoyed our stay. Cabin was very clean and just as described. The host was reachable if we need her. Would definitely visit again.
