We really enjoyed our stay at the Tail of the Dragon cabin! The cabin itself was great—clean, cozy, and very comfortable. The beds were especially comfortable, which we appreciated after long days. The hosts were lovely and made us feel very welcome. Everything about our stay was easy and enjoyable. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!

Great stay at this Smokey Mountain cabin!! Very quiet and peaceful in the mountains. Got to see deer, turkeys and lots of squirrels. The host was amazing, cabin very cute and felt like home. Clean, had all of the amenities you need to cook and the host even had snacks and bacon, milk and eggs in the fridge for us! Beds were so comfy, the blankets were amazing. Enjoyed every moment at this cabin, can’t wait to go back!!

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin. It was spotless, beautifully maintained, and you can tell the owners put so much care into every little detail. They truly thought of everything you could possibly need, which made the whole trip feel easy and comfortable.We ended up in a bit of a predicament during our stay, and the hosts went way above and beyond to help us. They didn’t hesitate for a second; they were kind, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us. You don’t always find that kind of kindness when traveling, and it honestly meant so much to us.The cabin itself was peaceful, cozy, and perfect for unwinding. Between the thoughtful touches and the incredible hospitality, this was one of the best experiences we’ve had. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-cared-for getaway.

My two teenagers, my husband and I stayed here so we could be close to The Tail of the Dragon for the week. The location was perfect for that. The cabin was the perfect size for us, the host was super friendly, and having some groceries in the fridge when we arrived was super helpful and appreciated. Highly recommend this cabin!
