Good value

Not accessible for handicap or walker. Two steps up to entrance. Floor inside extremely uneven and spongy in places. No drip coffee maker or firewood provided. (That's fine but not told that ahead). It's at least 40 minutes to Gatlinburg, not 30. The porch was a nice place to relax. The setting was quiet and woodsy.

Very nice cabin and location

We had a good time, it was comfortable enough for three people. The beds were clean and good mattresses. My only criticism, is that once we reached the cabin, the hostess was not available. I had the courtesy of letting her know about a few things that needed care, but no answer from her.

Secluded

The cabin in secluded for anyone who just want to get away.Had to speak with manager about posibly changing date for a medical condition and she was willing to accommodate but we didnt have to . THE CABIN: Very seculded code was sent to get in. Just to let you know you are seculded so no wifi. Unable to watch tv in either bedrooms have to watch DVDs. Lets talk about the sofa bed. Pulled it out and the mattress is 1/2 inch thick and frame of head was broke. Family said it was so hard to sleep on the floor was better. THE BATHROOM: the tub and shower needs to be replaced. We refuse to shower becuse it has a permanent dirty stain didn't know if was clean or not. Beds were very uncomfortable need new mattresses. And. When it rains the porch and stairs are very slipper several of us almost fell. We did enjoy our visit.

Just Okay

The good part is that the property is close to Gatlinburg and good hikes. The bad is that the property is pretty close to the main road and you can hear the cars all day and there are dogs that bark up the road 24/7. Cleanliness was okay. The bathroom had cobwebs and the towels had some stains and the bed had an old bandaid stuck to the sheets.

I can not say enough good about this place! For starters, it is THE cleanest pet friendly rental I have ever stayed in, and I’ve stayed in a lot. There was no bad odor, everything was clean. I always check rooms/furniture with a black light before we get too cozy, and it passed that test also! The location is perfect, you’re just a short drive from everything. The cabin is secluded and by itself, you can’t see the neighbors. The road and driveway are well maintained and accessible by car. Everything was well stocked. The only thing I would’ve changed, is better lighting outside. There was a dusk to dawn light, but I believe the bulb was out. We had to use our phone lights to take our dog out at night, so nothing too major. There was a ton of movies and board games, TV in every room, well stocked with towels, wash clothes, etc. There isn’t a washer or dryer that we saw, which didn’t bother us at all, just a heads up for someone needing one, and there’s no WiFi, also no issue, we had full service and used our phone hotspots if we needed to use the computer, we try to stay “unplugged” on family trips. Again, I can’t say enough about this place. It is its own little slice of paradise. We will definitely be recommending this cabin to others!

Extended Getaway

We booked this cabin for one night to extend a short trip to the area we had with family. We wanted to stay an extra day from the rest of them and found this little gem! It was everything we look for in a cabin. The location was away from hustle and bustle, very quiet. The cabin is perfectly sized for our family of 6 (My wife and I, kids ages 15,10,3,1). The cabin has everything you would need to cook meals and spend time without having to lug all the accessories of a home. The jacuzzi was already heated and ready when we arrived which was great after a week spent hiking (and carrying kids) through the mountains. It has an on site charcoal grill and firepit we unfortunately didnt get to use but are very nice to have for a longer stay. All in all, it was an extremely comfortable and cozy cabin, perfect if your looking for a stay in the mountains away from City life. We will definitely remember it for the next time we visit the area.

Secluded cabin stay

We had a great stay in this cabin. It was clean, close to the town of Cosby and a 30-40 min drive to Gatlinburg/PF. We had everything we needed for the most part. We were comfortable and it was a good size for a family of 4. We enjoyed the deck, the early morning Mountain View’s since the trees were not full of leaves, and the privacy!! The decor, the fireplace, and the comfort were great!! A few minor things I would note. The hot tub is a soft side that sits 2 people. Not sure if there was wifi or not as we could not find a code noted anywhere and didn’t want to bother the manager for a code. We got locked out of a few channels due to parental controls so no Dolly Parton Christmas movies for us LOL!! The neighborhood dogs are a bit much they bark all hours at all things that move LOL. We took a few walks on the roads but the dogs make it a nuisance. The floors of the cabin are a little worrisome as several spots have holes you can step into as the floors are wearing away. We found paths to avoid those areas as they made us nervous. The kitchen had most everything needed for cooking. There were a few things needed we didn’t have but we went and bought them and left them there. We felt this was a good place comfortable, and if you were snowed in you would be perfectly fine with all offered. The only amenities not there would be a washer and dryer so noting the closest clean laundry mat would be helpful if you plan to stay long enough to do laundry.
