The cabin is nestled in trees so there’s plenty of shade. It was the perfect size for me, my husband , and our 12 year old son.

Amazing Anniversary
This was a last minute decision due to some other circumstances. It turned out so much better than expected! The cabin was perfect! Very clean, cozy and quiet. Sitting on the porch was the best! The hosts or easy to contact and quick to respond. I can’t think of anything they could do to improve our stay.!! It was very close to all the activities we wanted to do, but still secluded.! Highly recommend this cabin!!

We loved this cabin!
Cabin was as clean as can be and very cleverly decorated and acessorized with bear cub themed items. Had a great time sipping coffee in the porch swing and making smores over a fire in the firepit. The cabin is right off the main road yet still nestled in the woods in a nice private spot. Saw a hawk fly through the back a couple of times. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Christmas Stay
This was our best experience with VRBO. First, I screwed up the dates and realized it on the day I thought we were arriving. The host answered my question in minutes and was able to adjust the dates. We loved the cabin feel and our daughter loved the fact that it snowed and it had a fireplace. The host was very responsive and answered many questions throughout the stay. They even made sure we knew when the roads were safe to travel after icing over. David, thank you for a great Christmas experience!

Clean & Cozy!
Our family really enjoyed our stay. Cabin had everything we needed. We had a small thanksgiving dinner and cooked breakfast. Kitchen has just enough items to make due! I also brought my crock pot. Cabin was quiet and very peaceful. We enjoyed the fire pit and the front porch swing. Nicely tucked in away from all the tourist attractions. We have stayed in quiet a few cabins and this has been the cleanest one we have stayed in. 5+ stars for that! Thanks for having us David. Happy Holidays!

We had a great time during our visit. The cabin is well equipped. It was neat and clean. The size is perfect for a family of 4 . The owner was friendly and resourceful. We made a bonfire every night and played in front of the porch. I cooked breakfast and dinner.

Overall a decent place to stay near the Smokies
This cabin is very easy to get to and only 15 min or so from the Cosby entrance of the GSMNP. The cabin has a fair amount of seclusion and quietness despite the area having numerous other cabins and RV sites nearby. The rooms felt spacious, except for the bathroom. The inside seemed dark, and one of us found the bed to be uncomfortable. One of the chef's knives should have been cleaned better by the previous guests.
