Little cottage on Cooper Road

What a fantastic visit we had! Close to Maryville Tennessee. The cabin appears small, but has a nice upstairs loft that host the sleeping areas One fill bath on the main floor, living room and kitchen with an attached garage that has a range washer and dryer. The host Mr. Mike was amazing and accommodating. We enjoyed getting to know him and more about the area and property. Thanks Mr. Mike! You and your cabin was just what we needed!

Peaceful and cozy

We stayed in the area due to the incredible scenery and excellent roads for riding. This cottage is perfectly situated for that. Full kitchen and loads of amenities we barely needed to buy anything to settle in. Beds are very comfy, all the comforts of home. The host is so nice and loves to see you happy. It was a great trip!

We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed Mike's hospitality. To say that the property is completely furnished and stocked is an understatement. When we come back this way, we will definitely plan to stop by again. This is our new first choice.

Great mountain cabin with a perfect host

The cabin was extremely clean and well organized and we were so comfortable there. My teenaged boys absolutely loved it, though were a bit sad that we didn't actually see the bear that was wandering around. Mike is the best host that I could imagine. He put up signs to direct us to the house, had breakfast food, and was just extremely helpful. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wonderful and relaxing

My family loved our stay just outside the Smokie Mountains. We spent three nights there, and it was great. The beds were comfortable, the place was clean, and there was bacon and eggs in the fridge when we got there. Mike was super attentive to our needs and wanted to make sure everything was perfect. We were on the southwestern side of the park, and there were some trails just down the street. We were super close to the Dragons Tail and took that road on the way out at the end of the stay. 5 stars!

Great cabin that is just as advertised, clean and well maintained. The host was friendly and willing to help with anything needed. Extra touches like stocking the refrigerator with breakfast foods and marking the short road to the cabin with our name was appreciated. Hope to visit again some time.

Foothills Stay

We really enjoyed the location and the host. We went to Cades Cove from this cabin on two different days. It takes about 1 hour to drive there, but the drive is gorgeous! Host provided all the essentials we needed for a 3 day stay. We did go out to eat for dinner each night.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Crawford

Host profile image
Our cabin has been host to numerous family members and friends over the last 13 years. We are semi-retired, and decided last year to get the cabin ready for "paying" guests!! I am a retired RN, and Mike is a well water treatment specialist for AquaClear Water Systems. Originally from Memphis, we decided to come to a calmer, slower part of Tennessee in 2000. We took a deep breath, and moved to the mountains! We rented a house in the woods for a few years, to see if I could stand the "bugs & the critters & the snakes". I managed quite well, so we began to look for a property in the mountains. When we found this home, the guest house was a bonus! Now we have decided to let others enjoy the calm, laid back charm of the Great Smoky Mountains.. The mountain valley where we live is very diversified. You will find million dollar homes, and mobile homes, but everyone is friendly, and I have never felt safer anywhere i have ever lived. So come visit Mike and I next time you want a truly idyllic vacation.
