Perfect getaway in the Smokies!

This cabin nestled in the woods was perfect. Very well appointed and all of our needs were met. Our dogs also loved it because there was woods that they could run around in and jump on boulders and have fun. Our host was very warm and communicated promptly and offered a very easy check in and check out. The house is very close to restaurants, Cades Cove and the park itself. We’re already planning a fall trip to The Cove!

10/10 would recommend and stay again.

We needed a quick over night stay while passing through. As soon as we pulled in we were in love. The lights were on, the heat was on (28 outside) and it was perfect. So nice not walking into a dark and cold place to stay for the first time. The surroundings were nice and quiet too, we definitely recommend this property and plan on returning.

Great cabin for a couple

This cabin is perfect for two people. Loved the location and cleanliness of the cabin. The host was quick to respond to any questions/requests. They gave excellent restaurant recommendations. We enjoyed sitting on the deck surrounded by trees. If we ever return to the Great Smoky Mountains we will stay at The Cove!

Cozy at the Ove

Perfect place for two adults to just get away. Cabin was very clean..tastefully decorated..easy to find. It was very close to golf course if one is so inclined. Communication with hosts was most excellent and timely. I personally found the mattress to be a bit too firm but it did not distract from my stay. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful and secluded getaway.

It’s only minutes from Townsend and the Great Smokey National Park. It was very comfortable, and clean. The full kitchen allowed to prepared full homemade meals over Christmas when restaurants were closed and enjoyed breakfast every morning.The king size bed is firm but very comfortable since it is a memory foam mattress.The overall feel, is very cozy. At the end of a long day in the Park, it felt like we were coming home when pulling into the driveway. :)

Mountain Getaway

Nice cabin to getaway for a few days. We were the first to stay after multiple upgrades to the cabin. New flooring, appliances, granite countertops, tiled shower, new mattress and list goes on. We enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace, very cozy! The cabin had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was very clean and the property managers checked in regularly to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We would definitely stay again at this cabin or another property owned/ managed by this group.

A little family get away

This was perfect! We came to stay a week in the smokies as we looked and looked from hotels to cabins I was a little nervous at first but decided to go with the cabin because of the 500+ five stars reviews.. well they do lye. This place was perfect for the 2.5 of us for our week long trip. Comfort of your own home while you’re away and the best part no other people around you. Definitely the quiet side of the Smokies It truly is Gods country Can’t wait to get back and try her other places she has to offer.
