Cozy cabin. Great location - convenient to all the area attractions. Just couple of notes: 1. Direct TV account was not active. 2. Bathroom floor needs to be repaired in front of the shower3. Need seating of some type in the bedroom for ease of dressing4. Need either a step stool in the bedroom for access to the bed for shorter people or notification to bring one if needed.

This little cottage was absolutely perfect! Decorated very thoughtfully and updated. We especially loved the reading book, cooper bathtub and hot tub. We saw bears nearly every day. The little river behind was so beautiful and peaceful. We would happily stay again.

Great Cozy Cabin

The property was perfect for my wife and I. I don't believe there would be a lot of room for taking the kids or another couple, but for a weekend getaway for the two of us, it was perfect.

Great Honeymoon!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was perfect! It was less than a 10 minute walk to downtown but felt like we were far away. They had an adorable guestbook where everyone wrote their experience and where they went, it really helped us decide what to do! We will be staying here again we loved it!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful weekend enjoying your property. It was clean and had everything we needed. Being able to walk to downtown Gatlinburg was perfect so that we didn’t have to deal with traffic or trying to find parking. We will definitely rent this property again!

The bathroom floor in front of the shower still needs fixed. We would have to step over it because it was so soft we were afraid that we might go through the floor. It was also hard for us to enjoy the living room because the fumes from the fireplace were pretty strong.

Would stay there every time.

Easy walking distance to the shops. Close grocery store. Very quite area and feels secluded even with the cabins packed in. Some tile issues in bathroom but did not feel they were as bad as other comments made them seem. We would stay there everytime without hesitation.

Most relaxing ever. We honeymooned in this same house 30 years ago. My wife and I both had major health issues this year and lost our beloved Jack Russell at 15 years old. This place was medicine to our soul. God bless Cabins for you for the renovation and rental. This fulfilled us.

Relaxing Home-away-from-home Gem

Perfect little creek-side nook within walking distance to everything, but far enough away to feel remote. Window seat was one of our favorite spots to lie on and listen to the rushing creek. Decor was perfect and homey and the bible verse signs meant so much to us- a reminder of God’s love and beauty! Will definitely return!

Great location & adorable house

We absolutely loved this place. The only bad things I can say is that the tile on the bathroom floor is cracked pretty badly near the bedroom door & could easily cut someone. Also the toilet seat is loose. Otherwise will definitely stay here again. Absolutely adorable!
