Our favorite cabin!
My family has been staying in this cabin for seven years each time we visit Gatlinburg! Our “home away from home” is always very clean, the beds/sheets are clean and comfortable, the cabin is tastefully decorated, the kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans/appliances/other gadgets, we all love the game area and hot tub, the owners are great to work with, and it’s close to so much! We can’t wait to return again!

Great Location & Well Equipped Cabin
The property is well maintained and well furnished with kitchen utensils, pots & pans, glasses, etc. It is also very comfortable with three fireplaces and comfortable furniture. We were actually able to see snow on the mountains one day. Also a great location about 1.5 miles from downtown Gatlinburg.

Another great stay!
This is the sixth year in a row we have stayed at this cabin, and we enjoyed another great stay! The cabin is nicely furnished with quality furniture and tasteful decor, the kitchen has everything you need to cook a full meal, it's in a quiet location yet close to everything, clean, spacious, and just a cozy place to spend a week! Our family enjoyed time on the deck with scenic views, the game room, and hot tub by day/evening and comfy beds by night. We can't wait to return!

Perfect Family Vacation
We have rented several VRBO properties for vacations and this was by far the best experience we have had. The cabin and location were perfect - easy access to everything we did, very well appointed, clean, comfortable beds, and had everything we needed for our family vacation. Close to town yet it feels secluded with awesome mountain views. Very clear, friendly communication with the host. Would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking.

Good location and nice cabin
My family enjoyed our stay. The cabin had everything we needed. There was construction right next to us that was a bit loud when I was on the deck in the mornings. Just something to be aware of, but didnt ruin our stay by no means. It was a perfect location to the soccer fields for us.

Mountain Vacation Perfection!
I don’t even want to say how amazing this cabin isbecause I wish I could keep it a secret! The pictures don’t do it justice - the game room, the back porch, the location, it was like home only better! Ages 6-50 with us and EVERYONE loved it! Next time we’re booking a longer trip to have more time at the cabin!
