The cabin is perfect. We stayed with my brother in law and his wife. We had a great time. It was extremely cold, spent alot of time in the cabin enjoying the company, the beautiful fire and the river flowing by. Easy access to Gatlinburg activities.

A cool little cottage, minutes from everything!

The house is literally a few minute drive or walk to downtown Gatlinburg, and 10 minutes to Pigeon Forge. The house is well kept, just feels homey. I look forward to booking here again!

Relaxing

It was like staying with my grandma back in the day. My husband and i laughed every time the screen door slammed. We both remember getting yelled at as children for slamming the screen door. The river was very relaxing while sitting in the hot tub.

Spring Break 2024

Overall very pleased. We loved the location! It felt secluded and yet we were able to walk to almost everything. My husband and son both fished in the river, catching trout. The river was so peaceful and sitting on the back porch listening to the water dropped our stress level tremendously. No complaints as the cabin suited our needs. It is outdated with furnishing and wall borders but again, we were overall very pleased. Great stay!

Perfect Location

My husband and I absolutely LOVED this cabin. The location was perfect. Close enough to downtown to walk. But also secluded enough for privacy. Very clean. The drainage situation in the shower could use some work, but other than that, we had absolutely no complaints. Loved it. Will be back for sure.

Sudden Bear

It included everything we needed. We really enjoyed the view and the sound of the Little Pidgeon River from the screened in porch. The beds were comfortable. The place was clean. The hottub was hot and ready for us when we arrived. We got surprised by a large black bear meandering past our porch around 5:30 on one of the evenings, which we enjoyed, but are glad we weren't sitting out there at the time!

Cute Creekside Cabin

The cabin was super cute and right on the creek. It was very peaceful sitting on the screened porch listening to the water. It was very close to downtown Gaitlinburg, and a short drive to Pigeon Forge, very convenient. There were a few things I had to do to secure the property that I wasn't used to with a VRBO rental, but it wasn't anything crazy. I'd recommend the cabin if you are looking for a nice little getaway with close amenities.
