Great communication from host, property was just as listed and very well stocked. Views were beautiful and we greatly enjoyed our stay. We really couldn’t ask for better. We really enjoyed the porch, porch swing, cozy fireplace for the chillier nights and everyone in our party slept like a baby in the cozy beds. Great mountain get away close enough to all the action to be convenient but nestled up high enough to truly feel special! Hopefully we will return someday!

Kimberly’s cabin was perfect for our long weekend in Gatlinburg! The cabin is in a great resort cabin neighborhood only a few minutes off the strip, which made it quiet and secluded without being too far from everything to do in town.
