"What a fantastic Smiley Creek cabin! So many amazing amenities for families- the kids were entertained the entire time. The kitchen was very well stocked, the views were incredible, the back porch is delightful to enjoy at sunset. But the big topic of conversation everyone in our group could not stop talking about was the BEDDING. What in the heavens are those comforters and where do we all get one? Every one of us raved about how comfortable the beds were and how luxe the bedding felt. We will definitely be booking this cabin again!"
