We stayed for an entire week and it could not have possibly been more enjoyable!! The river view is stunning and nights by the fire pit were incredible. There are peacocks and goats on the property and that only made our stay that much more spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub on the chilly nights we didn’t have a fire. The hosts were amazing and answered any questions we had immediately and even checked in on us to make sure everything was perfect. Would definitely book again!! Thank you!!

The cabin was the perfect size for our family of 4 - it was clean and cozy, although we didn't spend much time inside! Our boys loved visiting the goats on property, lazing in the hot tub, toasting marshmallows in the firepit, and most importantly - river access for fishing right outside the front door. The location of the cabin is PERFECT for people wanting to fish. The only drawback was that the pedestrian bridge, which is a big part of the appeal of this property (offering easy access to "town" places to eat) is CLOSED, and has been closed for some time, due to needed repairs. I wish I had known that prior to booking.But overall we enjoyed our stay and the owners/managers were fantastic to deal with, very responsive and provided plenty of communication. We will look to stay here again - hopefully after the bridge reopens.

Cozy and charming

The gas fire place and hot tub made our stay extra cozy and enjoyable. Our kids loved checking out the peacocks and goats on the property and the whole cabin was charming, clean and comfortable. Parker and Oz were great hosts and easy to communicate with.

Tranquility

Peaceful and quiet. The people that walked from across the bridge were courteous of our presence around the camp fire or playing in the river. Convenient walk across the bridge to several restaurants. Close to the entrance to the National Park with no Gatlinburg traffic jams.

Great little cabin by the river

Nice stay. Exactly as pictured. Really cute. House stocked with everything we needed. Very easy to get into the river and play or swim or fish. Short walk to The Abbey, Chocolate Bar, Pancake House, and Subway. Hot tub was super fun and clean. Would recommend for a family!
