Our stay was great our only complaints were that the people never contacted me back when I reached out with questions. Also the cabin could have used some extra utensils in the kitchen. Overall a great place to stay.

Overall had a great stay. Noticed a few things were very dirty. Found food on the pull out sofa, dishes were nasty, and hot tub was low on water, the back deck (very high up) the balcony ledge was VERY VERY loose.

Amazing! But…

We had an amazing time here, but the mattresses are god awful, it felt like we were sleeping on cinderblocks. The hot tub played a huge part in loosening up lol. But overall this cabin was in a great location, my family enjoyed themselves.

More than we expected

Very beautiful cabin in the hills. We loved eating breakfast on the covered porch. Although there was a hottub we did not use it. We did use the pool table downstairs. Very nice for the money.

Cabin in smokies

It was a beautiful and quiet location. Some amenities lacked, which cause us to not be able to clean as efficiently as we would have liked. Things like Kleenex, dish soap, broom, would have been nice included in the fee. Also the carpenter bees were TERRIBLE. We couldn't walk in and out without getting swarmed!

Needs a few things

Pillows too small. Not enough storage for clothes in upstairs bedroom. Needs a dresser at least. Lots of cobwebs. Minor stuff but could be perfect with a few changes.

Lovely place

This place is a close drive to everything you want to do while also being tucked away. You do have neighbors but there was space between cabins and I never heard or saw them. There are only 4 cabins there so it’s not too crowded. We saw a lot of wildlife around the cabin which I loved! The only thing I would like to say is they could use some new couches and beds. The couches were cozy and soft but worn in and the beds weren’t super comfy. The squeezed with every move and the pillows were small. I liked the complementary washing detergent but the dryer took 2 rounds to dry clothes fully so give yourself plenty of time when doing a load of laundry!

Mtn Get A Way

The cabin was okay, like w/others in the past the couch & love seat were just not comfortable at all & that's disappointing when you're there a week. Upstairs mattress very hard - hurt my back. Cabin had cob webs & just very dusty every where. Had no broom that we could find, We will be back to the mountains for sure but will not stay at this cabin. Will try out something different.
