We loved our stay at the Cabin! It made our visit to Gatlinburg very special. The cabin is located very close to the city but at a distance from other cabins, people and traffic. This gave us privacy, quitness and access to nature while being close to all the attractions, restaurants and activities. The house is very clean, furnished beautifully and has many amenities. We cooked dinner and the kitchen had everything we needed. We loved all the nice touches and truly felt like home! We enjoyed using the Hottub and the fire pit. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating. We highly recommend it!!!
