We loved everything about this cabin. Great location with beautiful views, quiet, cozy and comfortable. Good location away from busy Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge yet only minutes away. Definitely on our list if we come back this way!

Location was perfect for visiting Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, nice and quiet with distance from other properties. Separate space for kids worked out great, and the hot tub is a nice bonus. Definitely will consider staying here again!

The cabin was very nice! The hot tub was a nice extra. Laundry on site was great because we did a lot of hiking in the park and needed to wash/dry things. It’s very convenient to the park as well as Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Loved the authentic cabin feel!
