Perfect Setting for Relaxing Time at a Cabin

Start to finish - from easy check-in to clear check-out - the cabin was just perfect. Location was private and features like the pond and screened in porch were highlights. Hot weather yet the inside temperature control made it comfortable. Highly recommend.

This was by far one of the best places i have ever stayed at, clean, quiet, and was exactly what was advertised. If your looking for a place to stay away from commercial tourists spots this is it. The only issue ( and really not a big issues) was the cleaner showed up about 15 minutes before checkout but promptly left when they realized i was still there. I'm definitely going to be booking again !!!

Wonderful cozy cabin with your own private pond to fish (catch&release) or just sit on dock and enjoy the beauty of nature. The cabin was very clean and provided basic supplies. Screened-in back porch over looking the pond has a nice gas grill. Fire pit area was perfect to sit around for a relaxing evening with horseshoes to play. Excellent place to stay especially if you love nature. Quiet and secluded, but close to town and an easy drive to the Great Smokey Mountains!

This was our third stay at the Mountain Laurel Cabin, and it never disappoints. Tucked away in peaceful Brasstown, the cabin is cozy, spotless, and perfectly equipped with all you need in the woods. The private acre-sized pond is a dream for fishing or just soaking in the quiet. We love its proximity to the Folk School and scenic trails. A true hidden gem for nature lovers and anyone needing a recharge. We'll definitely be back!

Comfortable Secluded Cabin

We really enjoyed our stay here. So much to do there, horseshoes, fire pit, fishing etc. The owners have the cabin set up with everything you need. The bed was super comfortable. Rooms decor was so cute too. We grilled steaks and enjoyed eating on the patio. We caught and released several bass. We would definately recommend this cabin to anyone!! I only wish we could’ve stayed longer.
