The cabin is absolutely breathtaking! It matches the pictures and more! It was clean with all necessary amenities. Plenty of room. The view is even better than the pictures. And we got to see the bear family everyday. They came up on the porch and looked in the windows. If you want the true smoky mountain feel this is the cabin to stay at. We will be staying with them again. There is so much to do in the area.

We stayed with our adult children and celebrated the good news that our first grandchild will join the family in 2026. We cooked nearly all meals at the cabin, played cards and the other games the cabin offered. The boys fished and golfed nearby. Some of us relaxed in the hot tub. The road to the cabin is fairly steep (but beautiful) which we expected; the driveway is too, ....just FYI for unloading/parking. The host was most accommodating and responsive. We enjoyed the Autumn foliage, perfect weather, a couple visits from a local bear, and the view is outstanding. Thank you!

This cabin was absolutely spectacular. The hosts were amazing. My family and I will absolutely be back in the future! So picturesque, both the views from the house and the house itself! Truly such a beautiful stay! We had absolutely such a great time!! The only thing I would note for future renters is the driveway is pretty steep but it wasn’t a problem at all for us and the bears are VERY active around that area! A little self awareness was all that was needed but we saw multiple every day! We will absolutely be back, and I will be recommending this to my friends and family as well as anyone that will listen. Very comfortable house for 12 adults! Didn’t feel crowded at all!

The cabin was a five-star cabin because of the place itself- clean and full of amenities. The mountain is perfect. We love watching sunrise and what makes it a real five- star because of the super hosts. Chris and Morgan were very responsive from the time I reserved the place until we checked out. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Our family stayed here for a few days and it was a great stay. The views are amazing! The cabin was spacious and clean. We encountered bears almost every day, so for anyone staying here, stay alert if you decide to use the grill or bonfire. One morning, a momma bear and her two cubs got in our car and the next morning she even tried opening the kitchen door! They didn’t seem harmful and it was amazing to see. Also for those like us that are not used to the mountain drives, We didn’t realize how high we were driving. The road was narrow and a bit intimidating. So we didn’t go out at night for fear of driving in that road. It’s just two things to look out for but we still enjoyed it all. Our host were very responsive. The place was clean and had a lot to do. The mornings were relaxing and perfect for sitting on the patios. It was truly an experience. Also there is a lot to do in the surrounding areas. Very close to major tourist attractions and to the trails. We would recommend !
