This was the perfect place for a two day getaway for my husband and me and the pups. The house is in a quiet area with a beautiful view off the front porch. The hot tub and fire pit patio are perfectly situated for enjoying the view. The pups had a blast with the super-large fenced yard. Mira has done an amazing job decorating the house, with great attention to detail. The kitchen is well stocked for any of your cooking and serving needs! Overall, our stay was comfortable and quiet, just what we wanted. Mira was very communicative and pleasant, the perfect host.

The Mountain Villa was very clean, spacious, and well-equipped. All the little extras were amazing: the telescope for viewing the night sky, the reading nook, the workstation area, the fire pit, the hot tub, the basketball hoop, the pool table, washer/dryer, the dog crates, the fenced-in yard for our pup to run around in - we made use of everything!The host was VERY responsive to our requests and questions. Check-in and check-out was super easy. The beds are all memory foam and super comfortable. Water pressure was perfect for showers. We didn't use the additional kitchen in the basement but it would be very useful for those needing an extra cooking area. And our daughter loved the played above the queen bed in the basement! Our family had a wonderful New Year's stay and we would highly recommend this property to others looking for a great getaway to the Smokies, Dollywood, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge.

I appreciated that she was so accommodating to children, and had the use of a pack and play, high chair, and stroller should they have been needed. All in all, it was a clean comfortable property.

It's a unique space with the spiral staircase and the wrap around porch. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. We enjoyed putting together some family meals. The bedroom bathroom combinations make for separate spaces for everyone. Lots of space to gather including the hot tub.

Awesome stay
Family, friends and our older dog want to the Smokey’s for the holidays. The home did not disappoint at all. The inside is big and spacious with plenty of space for everyone to relax. Plenty of household amenities and supplies. The views out the amazing wraparound porch took our breath away every morning and evening. Our dog also got around wonderfully and I appreciated the entirely enclosed yard. Amazing location for an amazing home.

Beautiful Home
My wife and I took a few days to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. We brought our old dog with us too. The house is very well stocked with everything! The hot tub was wonderful and warm. Nice location and even with the road closures due to Helene it was easy to get around. Our dog struggled a little with the spiral stairs but she’s old and losing sight, so just be aware of that if your dog isn’t mobile. The tempurpedic beds are softer upstairs otherwise we wouldn’t have needed to use the stairs. The internet is weak and struggled at times but that wasn’t important to us. There wasn’t one negative to our experience. Mira was so sweet.and helpful as well.

All of the adults in our party have high stress jobs. We booked this place because of its remote location and the amenities included. It did not disappoint. Each of us were able to unplug and relax. The extremely clean and inviting home offered everything we needed for our kids to have a great time. Our kids range from 2 to 19. Even our pup was able to play in the fenced in yard. I would recommend this home to anyone with a family who just wanted to unplug and relax.

Outstanding cabin!
Our 25th anniversary getaway was outstanding at this cabin. I was looking for something quiet and away from the crowds. This was absolutely the place. We had some challenges at first because Hurricane Helene blew into town the day after we arrived. Each time I contacted the host, she responded promptly. She actually went over and above compared to some hosts we have encountered at other properties. The place was likely the cleanest rental we have ever stayed at. I have never seen a kitchen so well equipped with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. The pictures are accurate but do not do justice to how nice the place truly is. It is not a cabin but a very beautiful house. We plan on staying again. WIFI was a bit spotty but that could be attributed to the damage from the hurricane. One early morning a small buck deer walked across the lower part of the yard.

We enjoyed our stay. I would however, recommend a curtain in the main downstairs shower. As you can see right through the frosted window. Also we only got one tv to work the entire week. So just be prepared. As it states it is in the woods. Overall it was a good time had by all.
PS. I would also recommend a handicap ramp of some sort. My husband had a scooter to get around with and we had to pick it up on the porch each time. But I also did not mention he was handicapped, this is just a suggestion in the future. Very beautiful place.

Perfect getaway
Country Zen Villa was absolutely perfect for my 60th birthday celebration. The cabin is gorgeous and the setting is so peaceful. We loved having three private en-suite bedrooms with king sized beds and of course relaxing in the hot tub! Our dogs enjoyed the large fenced yard and especially the wrap around gated porch.
It’s only about 15 minutes from Newburg, but you can get most of your food/supplies at DG Market just three minutes away. There are also some decent restaurants close by (I recommend “The Bean Trees”).
It’s close enough to Gatlinburg, etc. There are lots of outdoor activities and hiking trails nearby (our dogs enjoyed the Max Patch loop), or just stay put and relax!
Mira has created a really beautiful space with great attention to detail. She was also very responsive to our inquiries. We noticed an issue with the AC the first night, and she sent someone to fix it immediately.
I would definitely book this cabin again and highly recommend it!
