We loved the stay, cabin is very cozy, well decorated and with everything you need to relax and enjoy your time. There are many places to visit and have a lot of fun.
We loved our stay, removed from the Gatlinburg crowds, in this lovely, immaculate cabin. It was perfectly situated for our many hikes in the Smokies. This is a well appointed cabin where all of our needs were more than met. Highly recommended!
We loved staying at this cozy cabin. It was very private and decorated so beautiful. Jane the host is very kind and accommodating. She has an amazing gift shop where you check in for the cabin.
Jane and her cabin are both awesome!! Cabin is super clean, comfortable, and fully stocked with anything you could possibly need. We had an excellent time and look forward to future visits. Thank you, Jane!
If you want somewhere in the mountains this is definitely the place for you! Checkin and checkout was quick and easy. Answered everything I needed to know. Cabin was beautiful.
Perfect cabin away from the crowds. Decor was fun and cabin was immaculate! Screened in porch was such a nice place to sit and relax and enjoy the hot tub. We score this 100%
This is a beautiful, tastefully decorated cabin and wonderfully secluded, but near to all that the area has to offer. On our stay we explored the area and local shops. We also took full advantage of the hot tub and beautiful views from both porches. Jane was a great host and very easy to deal with. The cabin is well stocked with everything you need for a great stay.
Very clean cabin. Went for a short getaway and was very impressed! Jane is an awesome host as well. Relaxing and quite. Will be returning in the future.
We enjoyed our stay in this cute cabin. My first comment when walking into the cabin was “This is super clean!” You could smell the cleanliness! Jane was very welcoming and super sweet! We loved our short time here and it was perfect for our little family.
It was a great weekend in the Smokies! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the owners were amazing. They went out of their way to set up Valentine’s Day decorations which also was my girlfriend’s birthday. They left her a bottle of wine, rose petals and a card wishing us a great weekend. I would recommend this cabin and also we will be back. Thankyou so much!
The owner is kind and quick to respond to questions. The cabin was the perfect size. I loved that the cabin was super clean. It was an easy drive to Gatlinburg. Many things you need were supplied. The hot tub was a great bonus.
I would definitely stay here again.
The cabin was clean and nice. The location for us was too far from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge; a detail that was missing from the listing. If you want remote then this is great. If being close to restaurants, attractions and shopping then I would recommend a different location.
Cozy cabin far from the crowds, but close enough to access everything that we wanted to do, especially in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Super helpful manager, and lots of amenities in or near the cabin. Peaceful...would return again when there is time and opportunity. No regrets!
The property was just enough out of town that you felt secluded, but close enough that you could enjoy all the sites. We did see a small black bear maybe 100 ft from the cabin and had a small racoon visit one night. The birds and sounds all around us were so peaceful. The cabin was clean and cozy. EVERYTHING was thought of for a comfortable stay. Check in was easy and our host Jane was amazing and friendly. Make sure you check out her gift shop i made quiet a few finds..
A perfect birthday gift getaway to my 10-year-old twins!
First off let me say that Jane is so nice and accommodating! Her taste and decorations give the perfect setting to any Smoky Mountain getaway! She was incredibly kind and thoughtful toward my kids and their big birthday event! The cabin had everything we needed and was so quiet and cozy! We all wanted to stay so much longer! We will certainly be back and we are so grateful that we found her and this amazing property for our Smoky Mountain adventures!
Loved the cabin. We made a great choice, The Smokey Mountains is one of our favorite vacation spots. We did more hiking then in town entertainment. It just went to fast.
We'll be back next summer.
Thank you for all your help.

Quiet area, clean cabin and comfortable beds. Nicely decorated in seasonal decor and bear themed. Owner is friendly and available by phone, text or in-person to answer questions.
Lots of places to go hiking or fly fishing in the area. A short drive to Gatlinburg and other similar places for families. The Smoky Mountains National Park has 2 trails dogs are allowed on. The Gatlinburg and the Oconaluftee River trails. Local restaurants were good and people were friendly.
The cabin was amazing and it is soooo close to the best part of the great Smokey mountains national park! The gatlinburg side is way too busy but the Cosby side is peaceful and quiet and incredible. But also only 50ish minutes from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg! The location is really the best of both worlds. The cabin is beautiful and clean. The screened in porch is the best place ever to hangout. Jane is helpful and easy to talk to. Would 100% recommend this property to anyone!
