My husband, my daughter and her little family all stayed here and it was perfect! The cabin was perfectly clean. The property is beautiful! We enjoyed a little fishing in the pond, a walk in the woods, we played for hole, tether ball, and hot tubbed! It was the perfect little vacation just outside of Knoxville!
