We appreciated all that this cabin had to offer. Its location was conveniently near the activities we wished to engage in, yet sufficiently distant to provide a stunning view of the mountains, allowing for a peaceful retreat.
The cabin is nice and really rustic. The only issue we had, which wasn't really a problem is that . The climate control(hvac) didn't blend well between floors. Upstairs was really warm and downstairs was kinda cold. We just grabbed a few extra blankets for the ones downstairs.
We loved it. From the beginning when i booked this cabin it was easy. I didn’t half to worry about being there at a certain time to pick up key. There was plenty of space nice an clean. I would definitely book again.
Our stay was great… the neighbors can be a little loud but otherwise it’s a nice place. The one lamp didn’t work and the one shower dripped, but otherwise it was clean and comfortable.
Nice area. Cabin was not comfortable at all. No furniture on main level except a glider and 2 hard back chairs. Stairs are narrow and are dangerous for an elderly guest. Beds were terrible and broken down bad. No chairs on patio to enjoy views. Only a wood picnic table. We left 2 days early because we were very uncomfortable in cabin. If you’re not looking for any days of rest and relaxation this may work for you. I think an investment in new bedding, some living room furniture on main level and chairs for the deck would be a great improvement to this property.
Great stay. The cabin was very rustic in a great location. Loved that it was close to the Smokey Mountsins, but not in the heart of Gaitlinburg with all the crowds. Did need to make sure we bough some of our own supplies of paper towels, shampoo and conditioner, laundry detergent and garbage bags.
Overall, great stay! Biggest issues with the house were the lack of air distribution (loft upstairs was hot and basement was cold, only 1 thermostat on main floor) and my kids found the beds to be uncomfortable. We set the thermostat cold to try to cool off the upstairs but it just doesn't circulate.
Also, the road up to the house is dangerous! The host did give us a heads up for check-in but we had no idea till we got there.
The positives: The cabin is wonderfully located in a safe resort/golfing community. Very reasonably priced for what you get. Several convenance/grocery stores nearby. The views from the cabin are amazing! Very quiet place, had everything we needed (with a few exceptions). The negatives: None of the bedrooms are located on the main level. The stairs are VERY narrow and somewhat dangerous to climb. People with mobility issues will have difficulty. The cabin was clean, for the most part. There was a fair amount of dust and dirt on the exposed beans as well as the ceiling fans and air ducts. Those with breathing issues might have problems. The bed lines were clean but VERY old and well used with brown stains on them. On our second day we discovered a musty/dirty water smell on the ground level where two of the three bedrooms are (and we realized then why the cabin came with air purifiers down there). The smell wasn't too extreme that we had issues with it, it just smelled a little funky. Several of the bedroom lamps didn't work and could use replacing. Also, on the porch the picnic table was very old and difficult to sit at without getting splinters and the two plastic chairs provided were so old that they broke and we couldn't use them. All in all, we had a nice time at the cabin. If you're looking for a well decorated retreat, this place isn't for you, but if you want a reasonably priced place to stay while you go out and enjoy the surrounding area, then this place is perfect.
Had a wonderful time exploring the area. The view was beautiful and we got to see three bears while we were there. The cabin was clean and comfortable. I was a little nervous when we came home in the evenings that we’d meet up with a bear on the balcony in the dark, but fortunately that never happened! Enjoyed hiking in the Smokey Mountain National Park, and exploring Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge…all within a short driving distance.
The view is spectacular. We spent an inordinate amount of time drinking coffee on the deck and reveling in the glory of autumn!
We had everything we needed.
I will warn those who are older and perhaps a bit less than spry (that includes our group): Access to all of the bedrooms requires climbing very steep and narrow stairs. We finally figured out it was easier to go up and down the outdoor stairs than the indoor ones.
It would also be nice if there were USB plugs somewhere in the house.
Nevertheless, it was a great time!
The cabin & setting were beautiful! The loft was cozy & warm! The main floor was spacious yet inviting & the perfect temperature. The downstairs bedrooms were spacious & the perfect sleeping temp. My only complaints are that we couldn't stay longer, the beds could be more comfortable & we needed more TP for a
5 night stay. Overall, we loved it and would happily stay here again.!
We had a good time. Saw Mama Bear and 3 cubs around cabin. Road and drive very steep but fine if you take your time. Need to check outlets because some work and others don't. Over all was pleased with our stay.
This is a very quiet and peaceful place to stay. It was clean and had everything needed to enjoy the weekend. We plan to visit this property again in the future.
Loved the cabin it was exactly what we were looking for for our vacation. It was relaxing and clean and I loved sitting out on the porch. It was close to Gatlinburg and not much further to Pigeon Forge. Enjoyed our time in the Rockies.
We had a full size van and had no trouble getting in and out of drive, very nicly done cabin, peaceful and relaxing! We saw a lot of bear during our stay. We will be coming back next year. Jeremy is wonderful and made this so easy!
The cabin was wonderful, very nice, love the view of the woods from the porch. It was a great stay, grandkids loved the loft. Saw a bear in neighbors yard, first half an hour we were there. Thursday same house had a Mama and a cub there. Was a great week.....Enjoyed it very much.
Beautiful cabin nestled in the hills. Very steep hill, but manageable with our standard minivan. Cabin was clean and beds comfortable. Enjoyed our stay.
The house is in a great location, away from the busy streets and has a bear family in the back yard! The boys loved it and want to go back already!

Would not book again
The stairs are very steep and narrow inside. 3 os us fell on stairs. Mattresses are worn out.
Bathtub needs something to prevent it from being so slippery. Seating in main room was horrible and no TV. Cobwebs all over inside of windows. Not enough toilet paper. Only one roll of 1ply in each bathroom. We had six people. Dirty dishes in cabinets. Would not recommend to friends.

Why they chose this property
This property was build by my father and his cousin in 1979. All timber was harvested locally and built with their own hands. Our family spent summers and holiday here while growing up and have so many wonderful memories that were made here. Now we just want to give others a chance to enjoy our little cabin and make their own memories.
What makes this property unique
The location is quiet but not too far away from all the action. Our favorite thing is sitting on the back deck and looking across the hollow at ridges of the National Park with a good cup of coffee.
