Just the right amount of getaway

This little cottage on the pond was just what we needed in space, comfort, and setting. The fenced in wraparound deck over the water was a great space for our corgi to explore safely. The bed was very comfortable. Everything was clean, and Lydia was a great hostess!

Location was great. Description was vague but accurate. Didn't realize it was a studio and no bedroom. Had a musty smell, most liking from the air conditioner. Overall met our needs for the weekend.

Quiet little cabin on a pond

We enjoyed staying at this cabin. It is tucked away in a quiet area in Sevierville. The pond was nice. I relaxed and watched my husband fish. We did spend a lot of time in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but it was nice to come back here to enjoy some rest and relaxation. Me and my husband would stay again.
