The Mrs & I wanted to go somewhere special in order to celebrate 20 years together. We knew we wanted something in the way of a B&B or cabin. After looks through many sites & pictures, we opted for Riley’s Retreat. And I’m so glad we did. It was clean, close to many attractions, and had what we needed for our stay.
Upon entrance to the cabin, I could tell the cleaning service was top-notch. The towels & linens had a crisp smell. The silverware was organized and put away. And the hot tub was an excellent touch!
We chose to hike one of the nearby trails after we drove through one of the nature scenic drives. We also walked along the Gatlinburg Parkway, which was a quick 15 minute drive away.
The cabin was well-stocked with amenities like toaster, smart TV, sound bar, the aforementioned hot tub, all while maintaining a cabin feel. The craftsmanship was admirable. Finally, the ability to house a bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, a kitchen, dining & living area all in a small, yet spacious, cabin made for a great weekend!
All in all, great cabin, great weekend, great hosts!
ps: the hosts went above and beyond to ensure all things in the cabin were working and we were enjoying our stay.
