The perfect little get away

The privacy was great and the view was so pretty. Loved that there was a little trail next to the house to sit and relax as well. We did have some bears get in the vehicles but heck that's expected lol We will for sure be back.

Great Family Cabin

Very nice cabin suitable for families with pets or children. Every floor had child gates if needed and each bedroom was large with its own bathroom. The property had a great view and wasn’t too far from Gatlinburg or the property office. The cabin also has its own drive essentially so parking multiple vehicles is fairly easy. The hiking trail wasn’t anything special but it does exist. We did end up seeing a couple bears and you absolutely need to follow the guidance on securing your trash. Overall a pleasant experience.

Sept. 9-14 Hikers Lodge stay 2023

Nice cabin, lots of room for our family of six and two dogs. Very clean for a pet friendly cabin, small damp spot on down stairs landing from previous cleaning, but no big deal. Our adult children enjoyed the pool table, arcade games, and hot tub. Gave 4 stars for location just because driveway was a little dicey, but people have to understand these beautiful cabins are on the mountain and you have to be careful and cautious. Attention tonneau cover people: when you empty your truck bed, roll your cover back! Smells linger, had a momma bear with 3 cubs on top within 1/2 hour of arrival! Great stay! P. Vangor of PA.
