This cabin was the perfect size for me, my husband, and our 2 dogs. We were able to make meals when we didn't feel like eating out and found they had everything we needed to do so. The hot tub was great. The king bed we used was very comfortable. The location was perfect. Close to downtown Gatlinburg and to Pigeon Forge. It was private even though you could see other houses. The drive up to the house was a little daunting at first because of the narrow, winding nature, but we found that common for Gatlinburg. We were very pleased with the cabin and the owner was very responsive when I did have questions.
