Quiet and cozy..

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..

Hidden gem!

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!

Just what we were looking for...

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!

Wonderful trip and the cabin was beautiful!

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.

Great cabin - location very remote

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.
