"This was a really nice cabin! Wooded all around the back so felt very private. The outdoor fireplace was fantastic!! Be sure on the way up you pick up some wood at the store. TIP: The wood at the store burns great but fast. Pick up 1-2 bundles for each day you plan to be there. The cabin was very clean and had everything you need. Parking is the only issue. We only had one car but if you have more than one vehicle there really is not enough space. Definitely recommend this cabin!!

"Overall, we had a great stay and the kids absolutely loved it! We would definitely come back. A few things to know: there were limited towels and supplies like toilet paper and garbage bags for the number of guests, so I’d recommend bringing extras. The ice machine also didn’t work during our stay, so we had to purchase ice. We also would have appreciated a little more flexibility with check-in since we arrived about 30 minutes early after driving from Wisconsin with kids in the heat. Other than those small things, we really enjoyed the property and our five day stay!

"We stayed here from August 12–18 with a group of 11, and it was exactly what we were looking for. There was plenty of room for everyone, and the property felt private and peaceful while still being close enough to everything we wanted to do. One of our favorite things was how surrounded by nature the cabin was. Being able to sit outside and see nothing but trees all around was so relaxing. It was quiet, calm, and the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. The hosts were fantastic, very responsive, helpful, and quick to answer any questions. They also gave us some great recommendations for the area, which made our trip even better. We spent several evenings enjoying the hot tub and sitting around the fire, and the grill worked great for meals with our group. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a great stay. As an added bonus, we were lucky enough to see a mama bear and her cubs during our visit, which was such a memorable experience!

The design and layout made it comfortable and easy to relax, with plenty of room to spread out. The amenities really stood out. The theater room, arcade, and hot tub were all great and added a lot to the experience. Everything was well maintained and worked perfectly. The location was ideal—peaceful and surrounded by nature, but still a short drive to all the attractions in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
