Great view but hard to find!!

Loves the cabin itself but I got lost on the way. The directions and address are not clearly marked. Steep hills and yoj have to pass the driveway and turn around to drive in and up the steep hill. Once I got there everything was great. Cozy cabin with a great view!

Nice

This is a great little cabin with great views of the mountains and mostly secluded, but still private. The only problem I had, was there was some restriction on the faucet in the shower, so you couldn't turn it more than half way on resulting in a lukewarm to cold shower. Would have loved to have a hot shower during my week stay! Also, would have liked to have a toaster in the kitchen.

I booked this cabin on Monday for a 3-night stay, then tried to cancel Tuesday. By Wednesday, the winter storm had gotten so bad that our area was placed under a state of emergency, and I did not feel it was safe to travel 3 hours in those conditions. Even though I paid for the trip insurance, I was still denied a refund because I was told I was outside of the “cancellation window.” I never even got to stay at the cabin, and after all of this I wasn’t even able to resume the trip later — they canceled my booking extremely fast. Overall, this was very disappointing and felt unfair considering the circumstances and the fact that I paid for protection. I would not book again based on this experience.

View is a 5, otherwise a 4 stay

The view at this property is the best point of the stay. You wake up to a mountain view that is absolutely gorgeous. The property is clean and cozy. Our stay was a 4 rating though because of the skimping on the little touches that could really have enhanced our stay. Only provided three towels (come on--there was a hot tub), no hair dryer, no coffee filters for the coffee maker, no laundry detergent, no info about the area or recommendations--these small touches could have really made the stay a 5 rating. Great proximity to the park. NOTE: Do not rely on your GPS to find this place, carefully follow the instructions or you will not find it. Also, you really need 4 wheel drive to get this high up on the mountain--thank goodness for our Jeep. We enjoyed the place but probably would try somewhere else next time.

This one really DOES have mountain views!!

A beautiful place!! So many others boast of mountain views, then to find out it's only a small sliver or glimpse, or other cabins are stacked on top of each other with no privacy. The ALWAYS cabin stands on it's own and has a panoramic view of the Smoky Mountains 180 degrees from the deck. Coffee on the deck in the morning = beautiful mountain view. Relaxing in the wonderful warm, clean hot tub = beautiful mountain view. Sitting at the dinner table w/chairs on the other end of the deck = beautiful mountain view. We did a lot of research, this one is the BEST! The privacy for us was as equally inportant. We were treated like royalty. Thank you ALWAYS cabin!

On our Honeymoon

On our Honeymoon, The place was wonderful , fantastic views. It was exciting to see some Bears come up near the cabin. King bed was comfortable. Hot tub was Great. Everything was well maintained . 2 things that could be addressed. We're not big TV watchers on Vaca. but for some the TV channel line-up is Absolute GARBAGE with NO Guide List to see what's even available. #2 the Outside AC plug did not work But we allways carry extra extension cords so had power Outside.
