Amazing cabin!

This is one of the best places we stayed so far! Very cozy, super clean, very well taken care of and had everything that needed for a stay. Great location, close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Loved view from bathrooms, jacuzzi and fire pit. Kids loved game room!

The cabin was perfect. Master suites on each floor was a huge bonus and the kids loved the loft game room. The cabin was cozy, clean and the fully stocked kitchen was perfect for our needs. My favorite feature was the screened in porch with sofas, dining area and a TV, and the hot tub was private and relaxing. The kids enjoyed making s'mores at the fire pit. This property was perfect and I would highly recommend. Communication was great. Overall an excellent experience.

Host was very responsive and provided clear communication. Cabin was just as described, well maintained and clean. Kitchen was well stocked with basic spices and appliances/cookware. Loved that cabin was decorated for Christmas! It is an exciting/winding drive to the cabin, which was noted in details provided by the host. No issues for our small SUV though. We’d come back again!

Beautiful cabin and location

What a GORGEOUS cabin especially in the Fall! I enjoyed my morning coffee in a different spot each morning (I was obsessed with the pretty mugs). The views were just beautiful and the neighborhood was so peaceful. All of the decorative details were perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed. Thank you Nancy for being a gracious and responsive host and for sharing this lovely cabin!!

Cabin in the Mountains

First of all, I do want to say that the drive to the cabin is very, very steep and has a narrow road. Other than the drive up the cabin was extraordinary and very well kept. The balcony up top is a great place to sit and have your coffee and just listen to the wildlife. Our first night there we did see 6 bear near the cabin so if you want to see wildlife I think you’ll see it here. We really enjoyed our stay!

Perfect modern cabin retreat for families!

The home and property were equally beautiful. Very clean and modern but with the cabin feel we love. Very comfortable beds and furniture. Our teen girls also loved it! My husband and I spent a lot of time on the screened in porch sipping coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. It was the perfect setting. 😊

This lovely cabin is so warm and inviting. Close enough to all the attractions but far enough on the hill to enjoy the tranquil peace. Our family truly enjoyed ourselves- from the multutude of games there to the grull and just the smell of the woods - fresh air. Oh, 2 jacuzzi tubs and a hot tub - where can you go wrong with that? The host was very accommodating and quick to reply to every question or need. Definitelty will be coming back again and again. I do not recommend driving a van though - definitely drive something with 4 wheel drive. Lol

Peaceful

This cabin is beautiful! It is quiet and peaceful after a day in the city or hiking. It's clean and we'll stocked with supplies for cooking/grilling. We enjoyed our stay very much. The location between Gatlinburg and pigeon forge is really nice, you can easily get to either pretty quickly. The upstairs game room was a family family. I'd definitely recommend staying here. We'll be returning someday soon

We stayed for three nights with our three kids aged 3-8. The cabin was wonderful. It was very clean upon arrival and exactly as the photos portrayed. The kids enjoyed their room with the two twin nooks. We didn't attempt to park down by the cabin, as the driveway is steep and since our vehicle is front wheel drive, we didn't want to risk trying to get out with the top being gravel. We were perfectly fine parking at the top of the driveway! The cabin was fully equipped. The only thing I wish I would have brought was a small stool for the kids to wash hands and brush teeth with, but we managed just fine! I honestly didn't even look around for one, so there might be one tucked away. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. The cabin was beautiful and secluded, the host was so kind and quick to respond.
