The Cabin was beautiful, with beautiful views of the mountains. Very quiet at night to sleep. The internet reception is poor, only working when you are on the cabin's porch. Also, the garbage you create has to be disposed of in town; the renter(s) can not access the garbage bin due to wild animals in the area. (We did not witness any wild animals). The road leading up to the cabin is tough to access, and in inclement weather, I believe we would have been stuck at the cabin. A twisting turning road; that was difficult to maneuver on (looked more like a driveway) that was not listed on the rental page. We never tried the road in the dark because of no lights and the difficulty of accessing and maneuvering the road. We could not reach the property managers via phone. Even though beautiful, we will not rent it again.

Sandra, thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience. The listing does state that it is at the end of a winding road in the Great Smoky Mountains, but we are sorry if this caught you off guard. The rural location of this property is part of its charm but, unfortunately, it also means that wifi and cell service can occasionally be slow. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon!
We took a late mini honeymoon, beautiful cabin, scenery, the butterflies were my favorite. Hot tub was fabulous! The cabin was very clean and decorated just perfectly. In the cabin there’s a coffee pot, pots and pans, a few spices, utensils, just bring food, games and books in the loft. In the early morning you can watch the sun rise, we did, we saw deer in the back yard.. just gorgeous! Short trip to town to get supplies. We enjoyed this. We went white water rafting, hiked up mountains, and shopped. The only thing is the drive way, I am not use to mountains so my husband had to drive; while I walked yes, walked! LOL 😂 I am a Floridian use to flat ground.. LOL other than the fear of driving We had a blast! We will do this again! Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful, Romantic cabin!
Holy cow!! The cabin is absolutely to die for! Very cute and quaint. I would definitely recommend an all wheel drive car to get up the very scary hill. It's an absolutly amazing place to stay and overall very cozy! 10/10 would stay again!!
