Truly a hidden gem…

This home truly was a hidden gem. It’s quaintly tucked away just off wears valley providing plenty of refuge from the hustle and bustle while allowing perfect access to the fun in town. We travel to this area frequently and typically stay somewhere new each year. This was such a great stay! The owners were prompt to communicate and reached out to check on us a few times. We really appreciated that. The home was exactly as depicted and looked exactly like the photos. I loved sitting on the front porch enjoying my coffee each morning. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed in regards to pots, pans, utensils, etc. Although we didn’t cook as much as we’d planned because we were too busy running around enjoying ourselves. The backyard area and fire pit were perfectly kept. The hot tub was a hit with our adult kids. They also had a cute little option to take or leave a recipe on the recipe cards. Such a cute little home nestled in the heart of the area. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We will be back. ❤️ To the hosts, thank you for providing an affordable option for families. Your home is wonderful.

Convenient

Everything was great but 3 out of the 5 beds was very uncomfortable. They sagged and seemed on the older side. So instead of having a bed for everyone we had to double up and no one really got a good nights rest. The cabin itself was very quaint and clean. Very Close to Pigeon Forge so it was very convenient for our stay. The cabin was fully stocked and ready.

Will stay again!

We absolutely loved staying at this property! It is very roomy as we had 5 adults and 1 child. It was very clean when we arrived and the homeowners were very easy to get in touch with. The location is only a very short drive to get to the main strip of Pigeon Forge. We would absolutely stay here again when we return!

Annual family trip

We stayed for our annual, multigenerational family trip. The floor plan was great for private bedrooms yet a large, open common area. The location was very convenient to town yet very quiet. The owner reached out after check in to see if we had any needs or questions. We would stay here again!

This cabin was very nice, and it fit our family very well! The kids enjoyed the game room and most of the family enjoyed the hot tub and corn hole game outside. It was well equipped and comfortable. We had plenty of room, and it was located away from all the hustle and bustle. I would certainly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a nice vacation getaway!

Nice place to stay

This was a cute and roomy place to stay. The location was pretty convenient as it’s only minutes away from the excitement downtown. My family was visiting for the Rod Run and we loved the that we weren’t right in the midst of the hustle and bustle but were only minutes away if we decided we wanted to.

Family Vacation

We had an amazing time at this property. The ease of locating the property and location could not have been better, close to downtown Pigeon Forge and about 30 min from Gatlinburg. The cabin was very nice and looked just like online pics, very clean and enough space for my family of 8. The owners of the property checked in with me on several occasions to make sure all was good. I would definitely recommend this cabin to rent for a vacation stay.
