The house was beautiful but in need of some tlc. The freezer didn’t work. The fridge part didn’t get very cold. There was an issue with the upstairs bathroom. The cold water had to be turned on/off under the sink. One ceiling fan didn’t work. The balcony was absolutely wonderful the views spectacular and the bears an added treat! All in all a a wonderful stay for a quick trip.

My family had a great time. Really enjoyed the cabin to it's fullest. The views are great, we saw bears a few times, and loved all the amenities the cabin had to offer. No complaints from us and would definitely consider staying here again if we are ever in the area.

There was plenty of room for the 10 of us. The drive is steep, but the seclusion is nice and quiet. We had everything we needed and the drive to the park was shorter than expected. Communication with the host was great and helpful when we had a question.

The cabin is beautiful. All the common areas are great. The scenery is beautiful. We stayed in October 2025 with four other couples. The reason we chose this property is so that we would all have our own private bathrooms. Well, my husband and I got the loft area.. It says nothing online about the loft area being hot, but let me tell you it is HOT in that loft area, especially if the fireplace is on. Of course, our friends wanted to run the fireplace, but they did not realize that it was staggering hot in our loft area (when the fireplace was on). So this is a heads up if you need to use the loft area just be aware that it is hot. After two nights of sleeping in the loft area and waking up sweating my husband and I decided to sleep in the bunk room the remaining three nights and walk up two flights of stairs to our bathroom every morning. Did this ruin our trip to the great Smoky Mountains? No but it sure made our nights uncomfortable.
