We loved our stay, removed from the Gatlinburg crowds, in this lovely, immaculate cabin. It was perfectly situated for our many hikes in the Smokies. This is a well appointed cabin where all of our needs were more than met. Highly recommended!

Truly serine

It was a great weekend in the Smokies! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the owners were amazing. They went out of their way to set up Valentine’s Day decorations which also was my girlfriend’s birthday. They left her a bottle of wine, rose petals and a card wishing us a great weekend. I would recommend this cabin and also we will be back. Thankyou so much!

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.

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!

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!

Quiet area, clean cabin and comfortable beds. Nicely decorated in seasonal decor and bear themed. Owner is friendly and available by phone, text or in-person to answer questions. Lots of places to go hiking or fly fishing in the area. A short drive to Gatlinburg and other similar places for families. The Smoky Mountains National Park has 2 trails dogs are allowed on. The Gatlinburg and the Oconaluftee River trails. Local restaurants were good and people were friendly.
