We had an amazing time at the cabin. Everything was perfect and clean. They have a dog gate around the porch , left treats and pup shampoo for us also. We were early and able to check in with the help of Stephanie. The cabin is probably 5 minutes from Unicoi for hiking and not even 10 from Helen.

The cabin was so welcoming. We were greeted nu outside Christmas lights. When we opened the door ot was a Christmas womderland. Tastefully decorated and such a warm cozy feeling. The fireplace was mice since it was quite chilly on day. Our cabin was private amd and pet friendly which was great. The only reason i knocked off a star is we had difficulty with the hot tub. It was such a wonderful time. Thanks for making our Thanksgiving special.
