Absolute Peace
The property is the perfect escape. Once we arrived we never left to explore. Having shopped prior to arriving we simply felt at peace and the property was an absolute joy. Only the two of us we had to act like children and stay in each bedroom on a different night. Amazingly each was outstanding little mini vacations within the same. Thank you for allowing us to be your guest. Outstanding

Absolute bliss
Our family absolutely loved everything about our stay. It is an absolutely beautiful space with a perfect layout and plenty of space indoors and outdoors for relaxing and enjoying your time. We were close to all the things we wanted to do but this location was private with all of the trees and landscaping. Our last evening we saw a mama bear and her cub twice while we were enjoying the fabulous hot tub. Memories were definitely made on this trip. Bluetooth speakers in almost every space and smart tvs in rooms made my older children very happy. I loved the decor and lighting. They really made this feel like a home with everything you would ever need! We hiked, went whitewater rafting, and rode horses. It was amazing to come back to a tranquil place that felt like a retreat. Communication was easy and the hosts were super helpful. I did not want to leave. Thank you so much for a lovely week in the Smokies that we will never forget.

Zen Cabin
My husband and 2 kids (12 & 15) enjoyed this peaceful, relaxing, amazing cabin! Tucked away, secluded, quiet, with treetop views, a swim spa, spacious deck, zen garden, and plenty of room to spread out. The 4 of us had fun! The cabin had everything! We would’ve stayed longer if we could!

Our best family vacation
This was our first family vacation and I have to tell you about our stay. The cabin was absolutely a breath taking experience. Not only did it feel warm and like home but everything from the kitchen (my favorite place as I love cooking for my family). The wood work to the decor was spot on. Everything so clean and beautiful pictures could not do this cabin justice. The property owner was so informative and I absolutely adored talking with them. They gave phenomenal recommendations that we did. They checked in with us just to make sure we didn’t need anything and every question I had they answered without hesitation. I could not express how much we loved staying here and talking with Loni. Thank you for such an amazing vacation.

One of kind property in quiet area
My wife and I really enjoyed staying at this property and have stayed at many places through VRBO. We both feel that this host, Loni, was excellent for many reasons. She really cares about those who stay in her home and communicates very well through the whole process. I felt like she cared that we had everything we needed and that we could find what we wanted around town. The house itself was very clean and I love the modern asian feel it had. We sort of missed the driveway when we first arrived and I now know why they recommend 4-wheel drive in the colder months. My Lincoln MKZ would not have made it up there if it was snowy or slippery at all. But, it wasn't as steep as some of the other place I've seen. I like that the house isn't really close to other houses and has a decent amount of privacy. The house had everything we were looking for and the hot tub was very relaxing. I kept looking for bears while in the hot tub since we saw so many at Cade's Cove and we saw a moma and her cubs while diving up the road to the place. One the last day we had a young one walk past the garbage cans and stop as I was coming out on the porch to load up the car. He stared at me and then walked into the woods. He was awfully close, but it was awesome! This house was so cool and I highly recommend it!! You probably won't find any place like it in the area!

Absolutely fantastic experience!
Everything about this cabin is absolutely wonderful. The beautiful landscaping, calming zen decor, and luxurious swim spa made for the most relaxing weekend my family has ever experienced. The location of the cabin couldn’t have been better. It was secluded and a short, scenic drive to pigeon forge. We particularly loved the local restaurants and coffee houses that the owners recommended. The owners were extremely quick to respond to anything that we needed and went above and beyond for our stay. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone who wants a 5 star experience!

The BEST Part of our Vacation was THIS house
I cannot say enough great things about this property and the management. We had a few questions throughout our stay and their response was super quick and thorough. The house was very clean and had fun details like a remote control shading system for the windows, an indoor firepit located off to the side of the house for semi-privacy from the kids, an electronic gaming machine with nostalgic favorites, beautifully crafted showers, and a large hot tub with overhang deck that we didn't want to miss a single day of usage! Hands down the best rental property we've stayed in to date. The only downfall we felt was that the views weren't quite as impressive as the pictures online showed. Still beautiful, but not as grandiose.

Favorite Cabin Yet.
This cabin has been our favorite yet. So many things for every one of all ages to do, that you don’t even need to leave. It’s very clean, and well maintained. We loved everything about it except the mattresses needed updated that no one slept good all weekend, but the cabin made up for the beds. The host was so easy to work with, and was always so friendly. We are already planning our next vacation here!

Birthday Celebration
This place was great. Peaceful and quiet, lots of trees. Close enough to Cades Cove, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge to get too quickly, do what you need to do and then retreat to your private place. Windows & sliding doors were wonderful. Kitchen was great. Swimming tub was a plus. Mama bear and two cubs greeted us when we arrived and showed up for breakfast (on the deck) the next day. Pretty chipmunk with white tail nesting in the Zen Garden. My only complaint were the beds, not senior friendly. Two low on the ground and mattress to soft. Certainly, a great place to stay. There were seven of us and we had plenty of room.
