We had a wonderful stay here from June 22-26. We drove from Florida and arrived 1/2 hour early before the 3pm check in time. No matter, we found a cute little moonshine/whiskey sampling place that was nearby and open and so we stopped there. Upon arriving at the cabin, everything was perfectly clean and so perfectly decorated. The master bedrooms are lovely, each has an ensuite bathroom with a spa-like feel. There were plenty of towels and washclothes, but there was a washer/dryer as well in case you needed to wash more. The kitchen had all of the essentials, including a crock pot and insta-pot! There were tons of DVD's in the movie room, but almost all of them were for adults. No matter, there were smart tv's for the kids to access their channels. We had a 15 passenger van that struggled to make it up the long gravel driveway but did in the end. I wouldn't come here without an SUV or crossover. The area is very secluded and ultra private. It was super quiet, especially at night, and there were fireflies and a wonderful fire pit right off the back of the deck by the bar. The bar, smoker and grill were the favorites for the boys, who cooked every night! The whole family had fun hanging out at the bar and hot tub. The hot tub was not warm the first night as the owner has it fully emptied and cleaned every time a guess checks out - but we were fine with that. There were a lot of hornets on the property - but we found a few small nests and sprayed them with the wasp spray that was there. We also replenished that when we left. The other little suprrise was a small scorpion in the guest bathroom. It didn't harm anyone though and we just got rid of it. These are the mountains though, so except little critters. Overall we couldn't have asked for a better place to get away and still be ultra cozy. The view was gorgeous and you can see the entire town of Pigeon Forge below, the elevation was around 1700 feet. We also saw the true namesake of the Smoky Mountains which were controlled by the weather. Within 30-1.5hr of travel we saw Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Hartford for Rocky mountain coasters (Goats on the Roof was the favorite), sky bridge walk, tubing and whitewater rafting. Also super close to the national park where we embarked on a short hike to a waterfall. We had such a great time and will be back. Once you drive around and see the other cabins all crowded at a low elevation, you'll feel even more lucky to have chosen this one. Thanks Brenda!
