Enjoyable stay very close to the Smokeys. Not enough to ding a star but wish that the king size bed was in the loft area personally

We loved the cozy cabin and appreciated how well the home was maintained. It was just my husband and myself but it would have accommodated 2-3 more . 2 full baths, both with tub/shower, one with bidet, 4 large flat screen!tvs. We especially loved the large covered porch with tv, outdoor fireplace , firepit and jacuzzi. Fully furnished kitchen with modern appliances. The management had thoughtfully left toilet paper, coffee, paper , bed linens, bath towels, and toiletries

Cabin was the perfect size for myself and my husband. Pet friendly was a huge plus. The only problem with check in was the door code, which was quickly cleared up. I did suggest they update directions for any future renters. The code is for the digital keypad on the door (which you have to touch for it to light up the numbers) not the lockbox on the wall next to the door. We just didn’t know and we arrived very late and it was dark. Cabin is in a great location, close to many activities. I love that there’s wooded areas between neighbors so you have privacy. Kitchen had plenty of cookware, utensils, and the gas grill was nice so we could cook our own steaks. It wasn’t cold out so we didn’t use the indoor or outdoor fireplace but I’m sure it’s nice in the winter. The road and driveway to the cabin is not nearly as steep as others we’ve stayed at, which is fantastic! Nice turnaround area so you can enter/exit safely. Back porch with a large TV for spending evenings outside. Enough paper towels/toilet provided for us, single use detergent/dryer sheet also provided. We would definitely stay here again in the future. Communications were great and we even came up the night before our original check in for a discounted price. We did not see any bears rummaging around, only squirrels and a random groundhog which was unexpected but cool!
