"This cabin is breathtaking. The views are a perfect nature stay without having to be “ too far away “ . There’s a beautiful trail that you can walk while there . Words and pictures don’t do this place justice . The host was so sweet . They really took their time with putting this place together . A bonus is that we even had some of the best sour dough bread of our life prepared by the host .For my family : we wanted to find somewhere to stay that wasn’t too far from home , but wasn’t just your average city “hotel “. This place truly feels like a getaway stay - cation . Knoxville is so lucky to have this addition!!! Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer . We will be back to create more memories !!:)"
