Quaint and quiet
The place is a quant little cabin. It is nestled at the end of a one lane dirt road. Not one lane in each direction, one lane. It is only about half a mile long. I would recommend getting there before dark on the 1st day. The cabin is immediately to your left when the road opens up. It is a simple, 1 bdrm with a king size bed & loft sleeping area. The ladder in the room leads to an open loft with 2 beds directly above the king bed. The kitchen has all the basic needs. If you are there during the colder months the wood burning stove works excellent & is MORE than capable of warming the room. Stop by Walmart, next to Starbucks ;o), to get some extra wood, about 20 mins drive. There are 2 other heaters (bathroom & living room). The sound of the stream that runs beside the cabin makes sitting on the porch a peaceful place to be. This cabin is not fancy or modern, but has everything you need and 2 TV's if you need extra entertainment. We didn't have any issues so did not have to contact the owner. The cabin is only 30 mins from several attractions (Great Smokey Train ride, wildwater rafting, ziplining, hiking & more). It was perfect for the two of us.

The place was great and clean and well stocked. However, the kitchen sink leaked all over the counter and the tub leaked into the bathroom floor.

This is a true Rustic Cabin in the woods off a good dirt road that was very clean and had exactly what you needed. I was disappointed the wood burning stove didn’t work as that is why I chose this cabin.

It’s a quiet location and very cute. However some of the furniture could be replaced as in the bed and the couch. However it was very much needed to get away and unplug from time to time.

We had a wonderful time on the property we met the owner. He was a very nice man and we he dealt with my husband for a while about service so he was happy but it was clean. It was beautiful and it was quiet. We really enjoyed our stay. We had a great time. We were close to the places where we could go in and see what we wanted to say. We were very very, happy with our choice

Vacasa is an absolute nightmare to deal with
The cabin is fine but I absolutely wouldn’t recommend booking a stay. The property management company is a nightmare to deal with. They are unresponsive and devoid of empathy. They are highly uncooperative when trying to reschedule or altered booking details. They also completely disregard that service members often need to make changes due to military service obligations. Definitely not a military friendly company.
