The cabin was well located. It was close to all of the attractions but secluded enough to enjoy the beauty of the Tennessee mountains. The cabin was clean and well equipped with what you need.

Great cabin! We love the porches and nice sized yard.
The yard was perfect for our kids to run around and play. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs. The cabin was very nice and clean. We enjoyed this cabin more than any other cabin we've ever rented. The location was great.

Ponies in the Smokies Visit
This little cabin was perfect for our stay to visit the Convention Center in Sevierville. All the items in here were well thought out as far as needs go for your vacation stay. I would have liked a grill or flat iron to cook outside but we managed without it. The owner was very prompt with replies and we had no issues.
