The cabin was very clean and big for a 2 person stay! We would definitely stay here again, just not in the winter. I only say that because the roads and driveway are VERY STEEP!!! I would not suggest driving a low car! I drive a highlander and had to be very careful pulling in and out the driveway! Otherwise it is perfect!!!

If you’re not used to driving in the mountains, the drive to this property may be a bit challenging. However, the house itself and the location are perfect for easy trips to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, and it’s conveniently located right next to the National Park for quick access.Everything went very smoothly overall. The only issue we experienced was the night before we left when we planned to use the hot tub—it was cloudy and foaming. I called the office around 4:45, but they were unable to bring chlorine that evening, so we weren’t able to use it.Aside from that, we had a great stay. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again!
