We enjoyed our stay on this property. It was nice and quiet. We were greeted by a deer the first morning. The tiny house had a nice floor plan which made it feel spacious.

Family visit

Property was great except for two things. First the queen mattress and the bunk beds were hard as bricks! Very uncomfortable! Second, the bottom step on the porch was way too low. Knee injury waiting to happen. Enjoyed the peace and quiet in a lovely cabin!

Country living getaway paradise

What a beautiful quiet cabin sitting at the bottom of the property totally away from the world! If you are a outdoors family that enjoys the peace and quiet away from the city this is your place. property is about 50 acres up the mountain and if you have kids this is a great place as well as the property owner clearly has kiddos as there was swings, play area, even saw a country makeshift zipline lol. Got to meet a couple of the neighbors at the bottom of hill as well and so pleasant including Charlie as he came by on his 4 wheeler and we chatted all things hunting lol. As a Florida neighbor thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us.

Perfect for those who love nature and hiking

This cabin was perfect for us. Most of the property is dedicated to nature & trails, with several streams. Unlike some of the cabins we visited, the trails are well-kept. Two small fields exist on the property totaling about 5 acres together, but mostly the property is forested, and mountainous, in a holler that blocks you off from most of the noise of modern society (only jets far above intruded), Since it backs up to US Forestry property, you can hike beyond, all the way to the Appalachian trail, without have to drive out to find a trail head. This gives you access to a lot of other trails, but we only hiked on or adjacent to the cabin's property. If we had stayed longer, I would have made it to the AT. US Forestry trails are not as well-defined, but they are sufficient. Each morning and evening we would enjoy coffee & a book at the fire pit beside the stream. We were lucky that they owners were camping there the week we stayed, though they do not live their all year round. They are very kind and we loved their company. We have 6 in our family. Even though the cabin is small, it is well designed and will sleep 8 comfortably. As well, the location is close to Mountain City, so provisions are easily available. We also visited lake Watauga and (to the joy of our young son) Backyard Terrors and Dinosaur Park in Bluff City, TN.
