About this property

Smoky Mountain Retreat # 1 - Authentic log cabin in the Smokies

Two bedrooms downstairs (one with double bed and one with queen.) Two baths downstairs, a kitchen, dining and living room. Upstairs provides a double bed, 4 twins beds behind louvered doors on either side of the room. There is a bath upstairs too. This upstairs bedroom is more than just a room, its a hide away with lots of added goodies. Hidden in the louvered doors are four twin beds so little ones have a good ol' time in this spacious room. However, couples too can find enjoyment. With a double, a private bath and lots of space for each person to move around in, everyone can have their own space while getting better acquainted is subtly encouraged by the glowing embers of the fire below. Whether its the spark of romance or the fulfillment of family, the rooms in these cabins offer space, warmth and comfort.

Not great for winter

Stay was good, except the HVAC is much older.So unable to use the first floor 2 bed rooms since no heating system was there. Fire and gas heating system is not even around the home. If this is updated, its such a great place to stay for vacation.And no dish washer is there.Overall we 3 families managed in second floor and it was good stay.

We had a nice stay

We were deciding between this house and another more modern home. We picked this one so the cousins could have a shared space. They enjoyed being together. Most of the kids like the "closet" beds. Home could use some updates. The curtains could be thicker or blinds added for more privacy/darkness for mornings.

Nice and quiet

The owners are very responsive and kind. The place is a bit dated, but it was comfortable and quiet. It is always a bonus when the beds are so comfortable.

Disappointed by not having dishwasher for 11 people stay

The property plan is good and kids got excited by the beds under attic area. There is no central heating or AC so during winter time upstairs got really hot and the bedrooms got very cold. The owner was nice to give us extra space heater.

Great Cabin

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Cabin #1! Our only complaint would be the internet was very very intermittent.

Nice trip

The cabin was nice, no central AC so could be a little stuffy at night in the bedrooms, especially upstairs. Owner was helpful.

Fun getaway

Linda and her husband were great. We loved the big, mowed field in front of the cabin - it was a great place for the kids to play outdoor games and sports. Cabins were a bit dated and need some window shades for privacy. The carpet needs a good cleaning. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

Sad

Unfortunately I had to go to hospital for a heart ondition and was unable to make it to you're beautiful property. Not easy to have fun in the mountain on a heart monitor.
