A guest from Indian Harbour Beach, FL

Liked: Cleanliness
The property was adequate. The kitchen has zero counter space and the stove is an old ring style burner stove so extensive cooking wouldn’t be ideal. The outlet in the kitchen was a power strip with the refrigerator and several other items plugged into it. The cabin is rustic with few creature comforts. The outdoor area is not conducive to pets as there is very little soft area for a dog to do its “business”. The majority of the outside area is either paver stones or small granite rock. There would be very limited areas for any type of play for children. I highly recommend bringing water for drinking. The water had an odd taste. There is a grocery store nearby to purchase items. Definitely plan to arrive during daylight hours. The directions were excellent but it would be difficult to navigate in the dark. Navigating the incline in the winter might prove sporting. I killed a roach in the bathroom, but I’m from Florida and know bugs can easily enter any home. Never used the hot tub, but we did use the fire pit which was nice. The beds were comfortable and the heating and A/C worked well.

The cabin and hot tub were clean. The porch was nice to sit and relax. Especially in the morning with a cup of coffee. The neighbors are close but the trees blocked most of the view. Not sure how it is in the winter. The cabin is not far from town to get groceries or do activities. Overall we had a nice stay.

The cabin is very easy to get to close to the down town area but far enough away for extra privacy. Plenty of fire wood for camp fires. Cabin was very well set up and they provided anything we needed for a week long stay

Gorgeous views, tucked away

This property was perfect for our family of four (grown kids). The view was unmatched. Secluded and peaceful, but still a close drive to town. The hot tub was a huge bonus.

Nice little cabin

We had a great time in your cabin. I do want to mention the loft above the downstairs bedroom is very loud. You can loudly hear when someone turns in the bed. If there is insulation, perhaps that would help with a buffer.

Perfect Cabin Base for Rafting

Very clean and private with lovely view from a pleasant porch Easy drive to nearby rafting and comfortable for the 3 of us with our dogs. We enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub. There is a steep gravel drive that might be intimidating for some but we didn't have any difficulties with either of our vehicles (one not 4WD).

Lovely and quiet

This is such a great property. On a quiet mountain/hillside with a SWEET view of the smoky mountains! The porch was a lovely quiet spot anytime of day. We had great weather the whole week so we didn’t need to use the fireplace but we were able to use the hot tub & fire pit for s’mores. The house feels secluded with enough for our kids to explore and walk around the whole property without disturbing anyone else. The open stairs gave the living room a larger feel. We had enough beds for everyone and the little kids said they felt like they were in a treehouse (loft). On the drive up to the house we saw wild turkeys and a fox so that was a treat for us as well. Easy enough to find and quick access to town. We did an activity almost every day of our trip including white water rafting, the Biltmore house, gem mining, exploring the fun town, museums and hanging out at Darnell Farms.
