The Hikers Tiny Hut

The Hut is very nice. We are senior citizens and recommend it for younger age groups due to the sleeping arrangements, a loft and futon. Of course we knew this going in. The Cosby area is very beautifularestful.relaxing.

Interesting experience

I always wondered how that feels live in the very tiny house, and after spending 2 nights, me and my husband and our only daughter and our Shih-Tzu like this place so much better than living in motel or hotel but for bedroom is super tight space 😅 must crawling and crouching can't sit up straight on the bed 😆 but its worth it experience 👍

Quiet and relaxing

I went by myself to kinda of go off grid a little bit and get away from my everyday life. This place was perfect, very comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood. Also not very far from Pigeon Forge if you feel like venturing over there.

This little cabin was so wonderful we stayed 6 nights with our dog Nala and it was very peaceful and the cabin was very clean and it was bigger than what you think. Sandra the owner was wonderful. I sent her message about the hot water and she and her dad was there to fix the problem. The cabin is in a good location to town and very quiet. I had sent Sandra a message about a couple of our friends coming to stay a few nights and she said that they could not was not going to charge us any extra and brought more towels and other things. We will definitely stay again. We had a wonderful time.

Cosby getaway

We enjoyed our stay. We wish we had a broom to be able to clean up. Our dog spilled his food and sheds a lot, and we had a very difficult time trying to get it cleaned up. And also an indication of where to put trash when full or extra trash bags. But overall, content

Clean and dog friendly

They keep this tiny house clean and ready for your dogs. It smells amazing and the maintenance on the tiny house is great. They had a salt crystals lamp on to welcome us , a doggy bowl for our Gaia (thank goodness we forgot ours), and a big jar of treats. However the neighbors next to us let their dogs out and they would constantly bark at our dog whenever she would be outside. If your dog is nervous or skittish at all in new places, you might want to think twice about booking here. Also the house is located in a drive way so just be aware of that. Overall we really did enjoy our time here.

One Night’s Stay in Fun Tiny House

I just stayed one night in this fun tiny house but enjoyed it very much. It’s got a few quirky elements like no sink in the bathroom and sleeping bags instead of bed linens but it was a great place for my brother and I to spend the night on our way to the Knoxville area. It may be a tiny house but it’s got so many comforts packed inside that it made for a very enjoyable stay. I would definitely stay here again.

Hikers hut

It was definitely a tiny home, but the cutest tiny home ever. Was well equipped with sleeping arrangements & kitchen appliances. We were perfectly located in the middle of the most beautiful nature and minutes away from Gatlinburg as well. Mr. Joward was a pleasure to talk to & let us pick the blueberries. Definitely would recommend & return.

I absolutely loved the area this little hut was at! The hut itself was so adorable and clean! Yes it is small, it was just myself , hubby and my dog so it was enough room for the three of us. The owner kept good constant replies to any questions I had. I also appreciate the little snacks and coffee that was available! Much appreciated However, I only had one small complaint. My dog was leashed at the site says to keep your dog if you’re taking them out . When I was taking my dog out for a walk, three huge huskies / German shepherds, started to bark aggressively and run down the hill from the house that is up there. I feared that they were probably trying to attack my puppy or myself,so, I ran back to the hut in order to avoid what those dogs were gonna do if they were trying to attack my dog. so through out the time I was a bit nervous taking my dog out anymore than just being around the hut … I think that should be fixed. I understand having dogs in your property to protect your home but to actually tun down the hill and perhaps attack a customer from the hut is not good. Like I said idk if they were gonna try and hit my dog but I couldn’t even walk down the street without fear of them trying to attack my dog.

Es un lugar único, fui con mi esposo y mis hijos adolescentes a todos nos pareció bien, bastante cómodo, buena localización cerca de la carretera 321 q t lleva a todas las atracciones de Gali. Muy limpio y organizado. Bastante completo. Excelente parking y ambiente muy tranquilo. Fácil check in y check out. Nos encantó la Decoración y los chicos felices con los snack complementarios. Bien equipado con todo lo necesario para nuestra estadía, nevera, microondas, cafetera con café, horno y sartén eléctrico. Agua caliente, buen aire acondicionado👍 Lo único q No me gusto es q no tiene lavamanos en el baño, y tuvimos q usar el fregadero de la cocina😒 y el sofá cama es muy incomodo.

Amazing and cozy

We had the most amazing experience. The place is small but is clean, beautiful and simple. Doesn't have oven and that was somewhat challenged but everything was good since they have some electronics things to help us. The water is very hot and you can have very good showers. The cabin is perfect if you like simple moments. I will post some pictures about our trio in my Instagram if you wanna see. @suelleninusa
