Wonderful cozy cabin!

Everything was wonderful from the cabin itself to the communication with owners! Cabin was very clean with all the details included.. dish tabs, toilet paper, laundry detergent, plenty of pillows and clean linens, pots and pans, cooking spray, k cups/creamer, trash bags, shampoo/body wash and even q tips! Cabin was so nicely decorated. Kids enjoyed the upstairs immensely! Wonderful location just a 5 minute drive to downtown Gatlinburg!

Christmas 2024

The cabin was perfect for our family of four. I will say gatlinburg is a very busy town. The nice part about the cabin is that there was plenty to do when we wanted to get away from the crowds in town and relax as a family. The host communicated quickly and the arrival process was easy.

Amazing SUMMER Get Away 🗻

My family went to Gatlinburg for my daughter and husband birthday week. This place was amazing and dog friendly, we were super close to downtown and the Alamo Steakhouse was amazing, Anakeesta was beautiful and ALL the wineries were cool. And somewhere to come back to and unwind. The game room was the star and the hot tub to follow. The laundry was a genius idea. This trip was a 10/10 my family would recommend. We will be back next Year.

Everything you need! Pick this one!

This was by far the best place I have stayed with my kids. Easy to find. Location was perfect to the distant to town, but still felt secluded enough. My kids range from 8 to 14 and they were already talking about coming back and staying more at the cabin next time than going out so much. We will definitely be booking this one again. Communication was great! Another thing is I always bring my own makeup towels to remove my makeup so I don’t mess up the owner’s towels, but they already had them there. That was a nice little touch. It also had everything for a family with smaller children, which was amazing to see. Thank you again for such a great experience.

Wonderful weekend getaway with family

We were in Gatlinburg for my son's basketball tournament at Rocky Top Sports World. The cabin's location was perfect, less than 10 min drive to Rocky Top Sports and all the restaurants/attractions, etc; but also felt so far away with plenty of privacy and beautiful scenery in the area. The check in/check out process went very smoothly and communication with property owners was helpful when we had questions during our stay. The cabin was decorated very nicely, every detail was covered. The cabin was very clean and well maintained. The cabin was very spacious, plenty of room for my family of 7. My teenage boys loved the loft area, with a pool table, arcade, foosball. Also having the high porch and bathroom upstairs they had their own space which they absolutely loved. We were content being at the cabin and just enjoying our time together there. The hot tub was also wonderful spot to wind down after long days. We loved our stay there and definitely recommend this cabin. We hope to be back soon!

Enjoyable Stay

We had such a great time staying in this cabin. The only situation we found was the dog having no grass right outside the house. We just went down the road to a small patch of grass. Cabin was so well stocked and clean.

Gives everyone what they need

We came for our 2 year anniversary and a family vacation all rolled into one. The owners have successfully created a space where everyone got what they needed and made a house a home for anyone coming to visit. We never saw our kids they were playing in the loft, we got time to be in the hot tub, time to relax time ti play. Another thing that was amazing and unique to other properties we have stayed at is how well stocked the home is. We didn’t want or need for anything it was a time and money saver. The owners made it personal for us and kept in contact making sure it was to our liking. I appreciate the time we spent at their cabin, a home away from home-you will not regret staying here

The cabin of your dreams.

I've never been more excited to write a review because this cabin deserves all the stars. From the moment we pulled up and opened the door, the pictures don't do it any justice as this cabin is beautiful. It is fully loaded of everything you could ever need and all the tiny details in the home are so well put together it just makes it that much better. So many bath towels, beds were super comfy, a fully loaded kitchen that came equipped with all the necessitys. As far as the dog friendly aspect, it very much is, just not so much grass at our specific cabin so you had to go for a short walk around the bend for the dog to use the bathroom but we didn't mind! Check out process was amazing as they didn't require a whole lot from us leaving however we disposed of the trash and got the dirty towels together just to make thier jobs a little easier. We came down for the weekend for my daughter's 9th birthday and she didn't want to leave. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend if you're looking to stay!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi I’m Piyumi. Having two globetrotting parents, the love of travel was instilled in me at a very early age. Now I spend all my free time planning our next family vacation and hope that my daughters will also one day feel the jitters of the travel bug as I do. Being an enthusiastic traveler, I also know the invaluable feeling I get when I rest my head at the end of a the day on a comfortable pillow after a long train/plane/car ride. With that in mind, as a host, I strive to bring all the comforts of home to you, if I have the opportunity to host you in my home. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can be of any assistance during your stay with us or your travels :)
