    Lots of outdoor areas to relax and play in. Even a big tree swing on the hillside providing a beautiful mountain view.

We got there after dark. All the lights were on which was very welcoming. The house is nicely furnished with cute decor. Just about anything you may need is provided. The location is good. The entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains is just down the road, as is the road through Wears Valley which takes you to Pigeon Forge. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

Best Get-a-Way Accommodations and Host

Our 2nd Stay at Biketrail Bungalow! Missy is a gracious Host and it shows, she makes her place very welcoming for her guests. Very clean, well stocked, tastefully decorated, extra touches making you feel special. We love the covered Front porch, taking the time to sit a spell and relax! Great location. It's the "Peaceful Side of the Mountain" that brought us to this destination and finding the best place to stay and perfect host is why we are repeat guests.

Missy was very welcoming. The washer gave me a little trouble but Missy responded quickly. The batteries for the remote lights were not working and I was unable to start the dishwasher. The stones at the entrance to the front porch were somewhat loose and we had to be careful were we stepped. The house was clean and decorated very nicely. Also the house supplied with almost everything one would find at home.
