    A Note about our Road:
    Part of the charm and quaintness of Story Book Cottage is its remote, secluded location. We are surrounded by 100's of acres of beautiful forest, as we are located within a subdivision of mostly undeveloped 5- & 10-acre wooded lots. Access to the cottage is via a gravel, and at times, bumpy road (approximately 3 min drive). We and our storybook cottage neighbors have elected to NOT allow the road to be paved, as doing so would allow the density to change from 5 & 10 acre lots, to small postage stamp size lots. This would make our little mountain desirable to developers who would bald our beautiful woods, build rows of cabins, and displace our wildlife. (Therefore, the road will remain gravel and on a monthly maintenance program). We feel blessed we are able to preserve and enjoy the experience of this little piece of smoky mountain heaven and, we are happy to share with our guests, the beauty of undisturbed nature and wildlife, that is far too fast becoming a rarity.

Jodee was wonderfully responsive throughout our stay, and her local knowledge was a real bonus — she even filled us in on the resident teenage bears causing mischief in the area! The cottage itself is everything you could want: comfortable, peaceful, and genuinely remote. Tucked in the scenic Wear Valley on the edge of the National Park, it felt like a true retreat from the world.

July 4th week

Beautiful house with everything you could want for a relaxing week. Easy access to necessities & hiking in the park. The road can be a bit intimidating but it’s passable. The only wish would be that the hot tub would run more than 30 minutes at a time- still enjoyable though. We’d definitely stay again!

Storybook Cottage is truly paradise. It’s a beautiful, well appointed cottage in a remote location. We were visited by bears almost daily, often twice a day. The place has absolutely everything you could want. We hope to return in multiple seasons to enjoy this beauty. The owner was easily accessible and responsive. Overall a great experience.

Magical

This was our family's first time to the Smokeys and we could not have found a more perfect place to stay. The cottage was magical, better than in the pictures. The accomodations were beautiful and VERY VERY clean and comfy cozy. We saw a bear one evening (he probably smelled our grilled steak dinner). That was a thrilling experience for our family to share. Thank you Jodee for sharing your Amazing home with us, we will definitely be back!

Best Vacation

Surprised my wife with a last minute trip. It turned out to be better than I could have imagined. We hardly left the cottage, everything we could have wanted to see or do was right there. We watched nature hiked the property, had bon fires, played pool and grilled most meals. It was our best vacation ever, it was so peaceful and private and relaxing. Also, we were very impressed with the cleanliness, my wife is a clean freak so she was extra happy that it was super clean. We highly recommend this vacation spot. We are already planning our next trip.

One with nature

Beautiful cottage! Secluded! Peaceful! Enjoyed watching the squirrels play and eat, along with birds and raccoons. Saw raccoons eating the squirrel food every night after dark. We also saw a bobcat, and had bears visit to eat the squirrel food in two occasions. The road going in to the cottage was rather challenging and I would not suggest this listing for anyone with a car. We got in and out fine in our suv. We will be back. Best vacation in a long time.

Exceptional property so good for the soul!

It's a challenge to capture the unique charm of Storybook Cottage, a place that has become a cherished retreat for my husband and me over the years. The intimate atmosphere, coupled with the meticulous attention to every detail, makes it a haven where we find ourselves lost in time, with no desire to leave the mountain. For those with a spirit of adventure, the area around Storybook Cottage is a treasure trove of activities and sights. I always make it a point to visit the primary location of Cades Cove Cellars, where I can sample their entire production, a luxury not available at their Wears Valley tasting room. And we never leave town before going to the Hillbilly Restaurant directly in front of you after you come down the mountain. The food never disappoints, and the inside is worth seeing. What truly sets this destination apart is Jodee's exceptional care for her guests. Her responsiveness, grace, and abundant kindness make our stays truly memorable, and we are always grateful for her warm hospitality. When friends and clients asked me where we went on vacation, I shared Storybook Cottage with them and strongly encouraged them to visit. Each quickly pulled up the cottage on their phones and said they would definitely be booking time there. I'm so happy to share Jodee's amazing piece of heaven with those I know and care about.

Pros and Cons

Pros: The host was very responsive and easy to work with. The place was clean and comfortable. The wooded setting was pretty and secluded. A fairly rough road to get to it, and quite steep in spots, but doable for most vehicles I think. We saw lots of wildlife, which can be exciting. Convenient to the park. Cons: Most of the wildlife we saw there was black bears, and they were there because of the food the hosts put out. Inside the cottage closet are two containers of "squirrel food," which seemed to be peanuts and corn and sunflower seeds. One container said that their critters were spoiled and liked to be fed at 630am and 330pm. Turns out, that's precisely when the bears would visit the very large feeder just outside the glass doors. The bears would were completely habituated to humans and showed no fear at all. Twice over a few days, a bear approached the yard while we were outside relaxing. We yelled and waved, but it didn't care at all and actually walked towards us. Once it stood just outside the glass door despite two dogs barking at it inches away. This behavior didn't feel completely safe for us, though the bears were not aggressive per se. More importantly, it's bad for the bears and puts them at risk of an incident. As they say, fed bears are dead bears. I know the hosts love the wildlife. I would just encourage them to consider the effects that the feeding station has on the safety of their guests, their pets, and the bears themselves.
