10/10 Excellent
"We liked the cute cabin, and it was very clean. The location worked out well: 20 minute drive from Jamestown, 15 minute drive from CCC Picket, 25 minute drive from Big South Fork. Kitchen has no dishwasher so bring paper plates or be ready to hand wash. We enjoyed our stay."

"A nice one bedroom ex-log house with an addition. Very home like feel from the moment you opened the door. Loved all the tongue and groove walls. The host was great, and very accommodating. I ended up being quite a bit earlier than than I thought I was going to be (due to less traffic than expected heading through Pigeon Forge, and a one hour time change I wasn’t expecting). It was nice and quiet, which beats the pants off of any motel. Everything worked great. I’ve honestly got nothing negative at all. It was nicer than I had anticipated. I’m sure there odd a lot of history inside those walls. Great stay, enjoyed it very much."

The Rock A-Frame - Modern, Private Patio, Location

10/10 Excellent
"Traveled to Wartburg to run a race in Frozen Head State Park. I traveled with my mother. The location, condition of property, ease of check-in, everything, was excellent. The pictures were very accurate and worth looking at in detail to make sure the property meets your needs. This was a great alternative to a hotel room and it best considered that way. This is really a studio with a loft. As the pictures show, there is no large dining table or doors between bedrooms. This was a not an issue for us because we were considering a 2 queen bed hotel room as an alternative. This rental far exceeds a hotel room and I would choose it every time. If you are looking for a place to accommodate 2 different groups of people (2 couples for example), just realize there is no privacy between bedrooms and if you are on different sleep schedules, it is going to be a tough trip. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen adequately stocked. We didn't get a chance to use the outdoor space too much but the seating area and hot tub looked top notch. If the layout suits your needs, I would absolutely recommend."
