Perfect cabin for friends and a great view
Quaint clean cabin with a view. The outdoor area is lovely and private with a gorgeous view of the mountains. Perfect for a few couples that include living areas on all 3 floors. The bedrooms were all very clean and comfortable, and a bathroom on every floor was a plus. The only thing I would mention is that the driveway up was quite tight for a larger vehicle such as a truck and takes an experienced driver to maneuver. Parking is tight, especially with larger vehicles.

Peaceful getaway from the city
The home is tucked away at the highest peak and the view from the house and the firepit was breathtaking. We were able to fellowship, cook our own cusine, and appreciate our company. The BEST part was spotting a family of black bears that made the experience feel like a zoo. Made our whole trip. The only piece we recommend for this property is drive a 4x4 to get to this location, as the roads have steep inclines and sharp turns made us start praying before reaching the location. Also do not drive there at night, many of the high mountain roads are not well lit. The location is a MUST rent and experience. Just travel in a 4x4 during daylight

My husband and I were celebrating 50 years of marriage. We created many many lasting memories for our sons, their spouses and our grandchildren. Perfect place and plenty of room to spread out. Cabin had everything we needed for cooking. Fire pit was the perfect place to enjoy time after a busy day visiting all the Smokies have to offer! View was amazing!

We had an amazing time! The stay was very comfortable and exactly what we expected. We saw more bears at the VRBO than at the park. Our kids had an experience that they will remember forever! The driveway was a lil challenging because we’ve never driven on mtn roads but, that was our skills :-) it was a great stay and highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at this cabin. We had enough room for the 10 of us, enjoyed the grill and fire pit and hot tub. No complaints at all!! Beautiful property. The roads leading up to the cabin and the driveway took some getting used to for sure, but it’s the mountains and it led us up to a fantastic view. Thank you for a great place to gather with family.

Took a family trip to the mountains and couldn’t have been happier with this home! The view was beautiful, the front porch was a fun hangout spot and we enjoyed s’mores by the fire! The road has a hard turn by the top and the parking was a bit smaller than we thought but it was easy to move our cars around. Overall a great home!

Nice Cabin. Enjoyed our stay!
I'm giving it an all-star 5 rating, particularly due to the lightning-speed responsiveness to any questions. The location is fantastic, and the cabin has nice features. There is enough space, but it will become a very tight space for more than 8. I say it is ideal for 6. There were 9 of us (five adults and four kids), so it was a bit tight, but we still enjoyed it. One thing - the cabin was clean, but with a little extra effort, it could have been squeaky A++ clean. I guess it's because it's peak season. Just a thought. Would come back any time!
