Fall Getaway

Nice, quiet, clean stay in a beautiful cabin up a windy mtn road near Gatlinburg. We enjoyed lots of hiking and a little bit of shopping with plenty of relaxing as well. A great place to get away from the world for awhile.

Beautiful property

Chalet was just as pictured, spacious but cozy at the same time . Our children loved the pool table and we enjoyed the hot tub with the gorgeous view. Close to town but just far enough from the crowd.

Wonderful time -highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience during our stay. The owners were so kind and quick to respond to our messages. The first thing we noticed was how clean the house was, which was something I always worry about. The mountain view was beautiful! There was plenty of space and sleeping room for the 8 of us. I would definitely recommend staying here, we look forward to coming back!

Great newer cabin in the smokey mountains

The cabin was a great stay for our family of 5 for 2 nights. Beautiful sunrise and loved the knotty pine rustic finish, big island, pool table, and hot tub after a long day in Gatlinburg and the Smokey Mountains. Owner was quick to respond and informative. Thank you!
