Please check out all our properties in our profile as we have cabins of all different sizes and amenities to suit your needs.
SOME NOTES ABOUT THE MOUNTAINS: - This is the mountains and cell service may be spotty - There may be some twisty roads - This is in the forests and mountains and you will likely see bugs, mice, or furry critters (including bears!). We do maintain the property with regular pest control, but due to the surroundings, or if doors are left open, or food is left outside the house, this can attract critters. - PLEASE NOTE: Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away and unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes.
- The cabin has well water and when first turning the hot water on it can have the sulfur smell. This will go away after a minute or two and is typically just when you first turn it on the first day. After you start using the water regularly it goes away. Also, the water can sometimes come out a little brown, typically when flushing the toilets, etc. This is normal. The water is drinkable, but we still recommend using the filtered water from the fridge. - Cell phone service is very spotty in the area, so download the maps offline before arriving.
The community pool and fishing pond are run by a 3rd party and we have no control over closures, etc. that may occur. No refunds will be issued for closures of these amenities. Fireplace is gas powered and is typically shut off between March/April and October/November.
Note: This is the mountains and WiFi and cell phone service can sometimes be spotty and lose service. If the internet does go out, try resetting the router first. We highly recommend you download maps of the area offline prior to arriving.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard. Housekeeping is available on request.

Beautiful home!
This home is beautiful! Definitely need a good vehicle as the roads leading up to the cabin are steep and winding. The home needs a little TLC but overall a very nice place. If you plan to cook, make sure to bring your spices as none are provided. Loved the fact that it has a fenced area for dogs. The host is very responsive.

Worry free
There was great communication right from the beginning of our booking. We had all the information up front and clearly specified. Our stay was wonderful in the peaceful mountain cabin. The cabin was neat and tidy with everything we needed for our stay. Highly recommended!
Beautiful location and views at this property. Its high up in the Smoky Mountains, but GPS was accurate and easy to follow. We arrived during the day and roads were well paved and easy to maneuver. The lofted rooms and bathroom upstairs were very updated and perfect for kids and extended family. We cooked on the stove top, baked cupcakes and used the dishwasher, all in great condition. Spacious refrigerator with filtered water and ice cubes. My family enjoyed the Xbox, Karaoke machine and swings on the deck too! Pet area was perfect for our family dog. Less than 10 minute drive to Wears Valley road offered restaurants, gas stations and grocery stores. Property hosts were VERY responsive to messages and answered quickly. We had a fabulous family vacation at this property, must see!

accuracy
This was a wonderful cabin in a beautiful location. The hosts were prompt and accommodating. The only problem we had was that this cabin is listed as a 4 bedroom, 3 bath when in fact it only has 2 bedrooms with additional beds in a loft area and 2 and a half baths. Had that been the listing I wouldn't have booked this property because we needed the 4 separate bedrooms and 3 full baths. Our family has taken a vacation to the mountains for the past 12 years and have always enjoyed ourselves. Because this wasn't listed correctly we were not able to have the enjoyable weekend we normally do. I don't want another family to suffer as we did because of the misleading listing.

What a great property in a beautiful location. Hidden away in picturesque Wears Valley you can't go wrong. Close enough to all the Great Smokey Mountains has to offer but far enough away from the hubbub in the typical tourist destinations. Great place to relax between your adventures. The owners are fantastic: very communicative, responsive and hospitable. We filled the house with lots of love and laughter and great meals, which we hope for other visitors. We thank our hosts sincerely for providing a lovely place to stay.
