My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here last week and would definitely stay here again. If you're looking for a 5-Star Ritz-Carlton experience, this isn't it. It's a cabin in the middle of nowhere and it's age means it's a little rough around the edges (broken coffee table, aging deck, a couple soft spots in the sun room floor) - a bit like visiting your grandmothers house. But we don't see that as a negative at all. It was very cozy and just perfect for us. And we can also see where the owners are making improvements with many things being recently replaced, so that's good. The deck is aged, as other reviews have said, but perfectly safe. We loved it out there while cooking dinner on the grill or just enjoying the incredible mountain view. We had no issues with water, as some other reviews have said. We were all showering, cooking, and running the dishwasher daily, and never had an issue with running out of water. Water was nice and hot when needed too. There was no issue with bugs either. I figured it would be buggy to be so out in the middle of nowhere. But I didn't see any bugs, really, except for some millipedes which are completely harmless, so that's not a big deal. The only real issue we had (which would be a benefit for some) is that our phones didn't work at all. We had absolutely ZERO reception and couldn't even send a text message. This was only really an issue when we first arrived because we couldn't open our emails to get the check-in procedures to get inside the home. So be warned about that and have all your check in procedures opened and saved before you go anywhere close to the area. Once you're in the cabin, however, you have access to the cabins Wi-Fi which is surprisingly fast to be out in such a rural area. We had no problem streaming movies on the TV and using all of our phones while on the cabins Wi-Fi. While the cabin is beautiful, it is VERY rural - way more out in the sticks than we realized. It required a 45-60 minute drive to get to pretty much anywhere, with Pigeon Forge being a full 2 hour drive away. And anywhere you go also involves wild, windy, twisty mountain roads so have dramanine on hand if you're not used to such roads. Not a bad thing just more rural than realized. The driveway in front of the cabin is flat, but the loose gravel road up to the cabin is VERY steep. Our SUV never had a problem getting up there though. Just took some doing. Over all, it was a great experience and we're very glad we went.
