We truly loved every single thing about our stay and would definitely stay here again!The drive to pigeon Forge is about a 30ish minute drive. There is also a dollar general market 8 minutes from the house.The road leading to the house is very steep and winding, so just be prepared..but we were able to make it up safely in a regular-sized truck while pulling a loaded car trailer. Overall, it was a wonderful place, and we highly recommend it!"
