Wonderful Getaway

The Little Ponderosa is a peaceful retreat. We enjoyed mornings on the porch swing listening to the rooster and watching the sunrise. There are lots of activities in the cabin and on site and it is close to Knoxville. We hope to be back.

Perfect

These owners are exceptional! Everything you need is in the right spot when it comes to bath, kitchen, cooking, etc…. The cabin is so peaceful and beautiful. Sit on the front porch in the morning for your cup of coffee and take it all in. Or relax in the evening in the clean soothing hot tub! It’s times like these you make family memories enjoying the space, taking walks, soaking in the hot tub together. This is definitely the best Vrbo we have been to just for its serenity and feel. You’ll love it I promise!

Great little hidden gem!!

The Lil Ponderosa was a great place to stay. Originally I was worried it might be a bit far from where we’d be spending most of our time (the UT campus area) but it was actually only a 10-15 min drive, depending on the time of day. The cabin was clean and quaint and had all of the amenities you could want! And we loved hanging out with the barn kitty! We would definitely stay again.
