Great Anniversary get a way

The little bungalow was just as advertised! It was remote, quite, had a kitchen, bathroom, and was in a great location to explore an area we had not been in before. Recommend renting Ebikes and touring Cades Cove, and hiking the area trails.

A wonderful location and a very nice cabin. It was clean and cozy.But I wanted a good night’s sleep and the hand me down/broken down bed was uncomfortable, at best. I’m probably going to stop staying in VRBOs because this is the 3rd rental that had an uncomfortable bed. Hotel quality beds should be the standard.

We loved this stay. Great experience when booking/checking in. The host was very accommodating to our check in time. The bungalow was very clean and cute. There was alot of information provided on the area/hiking trials. Beautiful views leading to the place as well with alot of outlooks to stop on if wanted. Would definitely stay again!

Mini vacation

My husband and I just wanted to get away for a few days! This spot was perfect! Very cozy and comfortable! Host was very polite and helpful! We plan on bringing our son back with us next time. When it's a little warmer so we can explore the woods a little!! I recommended this little getaway to do many people!

Very pleasant

The design was cozy and very easy to relax in. The access point to trails is a quick drive and there are easily hours of hiking to be done. The lake is a walk down the hill and the environment is very quiet. The hosts checked in on me and were quite kind. It was excellent for some solitude; I met a deer at my car the first morning.

Cute little cabin was clean and ready for our stay when we got there. Stocked well. Easy check-in and check-out. Jessica was a great host! Her advice about getting gas and groceries before going to the cabin was very helpful and spot on. Her directions regarding the driveway were also very helpful. I had an AWD and had no problems, but I don’t think I would have attempted it with a 2-wheel drive. As for cell service, I have Verizon and did not have coverage at the cabin (host warned about this) and the WiFi is most likely as strong as it can be, but cannot handle too many devices at once… just something to be aware of. Overall, it was a really nice stay.

Nice cabin

It was a nice and a clean stay. Host is really responsive and gave us all the details that is needed for a smooth check in and for parking. Only issue was hot water ran out after one person shower and had to wait for 15mins or so for next shower. I really wanted to stay for fall but when we went there leaves have turned into brown. I would recommend this place for anyone.

We had a nice and cozy stay at the little bungalow. 😊 Seriously listen about the drive way. It is very step and loose gravel by the cabin. Other than that it is a very nice and relaxing place.
