10/10 Excellent
"The cabin was beyond anything I could imagine, pictures do not do it justice. It was clean, comfortable, cozy, and absolutely beautiful. It was stocked with anything and everything that one could need to cook with and sit and drink coffee while enjoying the wonderful view from the front or back porch. The host, Mr. Keith, was beyond helpful and kind, his recommendations for hiking and sights were appreciated. He was quick to respond to questions and keep us updated on an issue that was happening with a water pressure issue. I can not say enough about how great this cabin and Mr. Keith were. We are already planning a return trip, and WILL be staying here again. Hiker's Hideaway and Mr. Keith 10/10 recommend hands down"

"If you like privacy, quiet, peaceful, serene and beautiful then this home is for you. This home has everything you could possibly want. We stayed 3 nights and would have stayed longer if we could. Not only is this home a perfect place to be but it is close to the outside activities Tennessee offers. We are from Minnesota and if we could we would live in this home forever. Nothing else to say."

"A nice one bedroom ex-log house with an addition. Very home like feel from the moment you opened the door. Loved all the tongue and groove walls. The host was great, and very accommodating. I ended up being quite a bit earlier than than I thought I was going to be (due to less traffic than expected heading through Pigeon Forge, and a one hour time change I wasn’t expecting). It was nice and quiet, which beats the pants off of any motel. Everything worked great. I’ve honestly got nothing negative at all. It was nicer than I had anticipated. I’m sure there odd a lot of history inside those walls. Great stay, enjoyed it very much."

The Rock A-Frame - Modern, Private Patio, Location

10/10 Excellent
"Traveled to Wartburg to run a race in Frozen Head State Park. I traveled with my mother. The location, condition of property, ease of check-in, everything, was excellent. The pictures were very accurate and worth looking at in detail to make sure the property meets your needs. This was a great alternative to a hotel room and it best considered that way. This is really a studio with a loft. As the pictures show, there is no large dining table or doors between bedrooms. This was a not an issue for us because we were considering a 2 queen bed hotel room as an alternative. This rental far exceeds a hotel room and I would choose it every time. If you are looking for a place to accommodate 2 different groups of people (2 couples for example), just realize there is no privacy between bedrooms and if you are on different sleep schedules, it is going to be a tough trip. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen adequately stocked. We didn't get a chance to use the outdoor space too much but the seating area and hot tub looked top notch. If the layout suits your needs, I would absolutely recommend."
