The cabin itself and the space were phenomenal! Absolutely worth the price, especially for a large group! I would suggest that the cooking utensils match the quantity of guests the cabin accommodates. For example, I cooked all the meals for all 10 of us and I would have loved to have had a larger skillet and one more casserole dish. However, this may not be an issue for the majority of people. The place was cozy and a perfect little get-away! Also, Shane was wonderful to communicate with! He was quick to respond and eager to help or answer questions. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience with Shane and his property! This was a last minute change of vacation plans and location, due to the impending hurricane approaching Florida. I found the cabin just before my vacation was supposed to begin, and I couldn’t be happier that this is the cabin I chose! Shane was very responsive from the moment I booked and throughout our entire stay. The privacy, amenities and central location to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge made for one of the most relaxing and stress free vacations I have had in many years! Unfortunately, we ended up having to cut our stay short, due to the same storm system approaching the mountains, but Shane was very accommodating and understanding.

My husband and I loved the cabin…it was clean, well laid out, and close to the Arts and Crafts area of Gatlinburg (which is much more enjoyable to visit than the strip in Gatlinburg in our opinion). The only down side for us was that the road it’s on is a little noisy, but it’s still private due to being surrounded by trees.
I was also impressed with the helpfulness of the hosts. They made everything super simple and even provided a handy area guidebook. Thanks so much! We hope to return!
