After reviewing many cabins, we chose this one for a quick getaway due to its 5* reviews and amenities. It did not disappoint. Randy was the most attentive host we have ever encountered and answered any question via phone/text if needed. Very clean upon arrival which is important to me, I didn’t feel like I needed to re-clean anything when I got there which happens a lot with some rentals. Great location in between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg; both are very touristy so this is a really nice spot away from that but super close if you want to partake. We hit the grocery store in Pigeon Forge and stayed at the cabin for the most part and relaxed. Instantly hit the arcade game in the loft to play and there’s a nice gas fireplace to keep it extra cozy inside- we had some snow which made it even prettier outside (and the Smoky Mountains looked awesome covered in a icy blanket) but some roads leading to the Smoky Mountains were closed so we didn’t get to explore too much. Did Cades Cove one day, but again it’s winter, so didn't see much wildlife- probs amazing the rest of the year! Totally fine because this cabin was so nice we just came back and hit the hot tub! Please note, some reviews mentioned a steep driveway, etc. Driveway is a bit steep but totally doable- it was icy when we arrived due to a storm the day before- but yay AWD Subaru- so no problem at all. If you are not used to driving in winter months or don’t have a reliable car you want to take up a hillside, just keep in mind weather can change quickly, so pay attention to the forecast or perhaps go a different time of the year. Example, we knew the roads would get icy the one night due to warm temps melting the snow in the day and freezing it at night - so just got back before temps dropped and stayed in that night and enjoyed the hot tub and stars! The roads leading to the cabin were two lanes then narrowed only for a short distance and they were plowed nicely when we arrived. Randy’s directions were spot on and I found that Apple Maps were also spot on for us too- but use his directions just in case, once there you won’t need them anymore as it’s only like 3 streets. Again, if you travel anywhere in the winter months, it’s a good idea to make sure you have good tread/the right kind of tires) on your car, cold weather gear just in case and you should be fine! Highly recommended this place, you won’t regret it; looking forward to coming back in the future! -Jess and Tim
