Home away from home

We liked how this place was like home and had similar amenities provided. It was just a 30 minute drive to pigeon forge to shop til we dropped. Very quiet and people very friendly even invited us to fire pit at night at nearby river which was nice.

Great Place to Stay

My wife and I went on vacation looking for a place to stay did not want to be in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg and this was the perfect place to stay easy access and where is Valley Road to Pigeon Forge easy access to Cades Cove and Smoky Mountains down Little River Road thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend to stay there the Little River right out back fire pit. Of course there's a pool there which in the summertime would be great we used it very nice very clean. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Great Condo!

Great Location!! Quite, clean and a wonderful deck with rocking chairs that looked out over the river. Close to Cades Cove which we visited twice during our stay. Apple Valley Cafe was just across the street where we enjoyed a great meal on the patio with our small dog. We hope to visit again in the fall. Would recommend the condo to anyone who wants a quite getaway.

This was a lovely place to stay. Clean, comfortable, and great location. Loved the large lawn area, the outdoor seating, the quiet, and the river, of course. We enjoyed our stay here, and hope to return again.

Great Location

Pros: Location! If you want to stay on the quiet side of the Smokies then you are right in the middle of it. The pool was very nice and the property backs up to Little River, which is delightful. Cons: The bed is hard, the place needs some maintenance/paint, only 5 towels were given and there is no washer/dryer.

This property was perfect for us! Very clean and just the right size for a short stay. The nearby stream with the firepit and decks for hanging out were the icing on the cake. We like the quiet of the area and we were close enough to visit our daughter in Maryville.

Cozy little place to stay

Was a perfect spot for our small family. Only thing I wish they had provided was another blanket for the sleeper couch. They had sheets but no blanket, so we had to buy one.
