The house is beautiful. We all had plenty of room to gather together or have alone time. The kitchen was perfect for what we needed. It had all the essentials for cooking and lots of room for prep. I would highly recommend staying there.
It's a unique space with the spiral staircase and the wrap around porch. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped. We enjoyed putting together some family meals. The bedroom bathroom combinations make for separate spaces for everyone. Lots of space to gather including the hot tub.
Mira was very quick to respond to all my questions regarding my stay in the Cosby, TN area. The kitchen was wonderfully outfitted with anything you may need. I appreciated that she was so accommodating to children, and had the use of a pack and play, high chair, and stroller should they have been needed. All in all, it was a clean comfortable property.
Incredibly well stocked and very clean. Lots of room! Mira was very responsive and definitely went the extra step to make sure everything was nicely decorated and comfortable.
We had a wonderful time at the Country Zen Villa.
The home was clean, had most every accommodation needed. I’d definitely stay here again and plan to in 2024. The exterior as well as the interior met all our needs.
I give this stay a 5 star.
The house was gorgeous and the view as exually amazing! Our stay was wonderful. Mira was incredibly helpful and quick to respond. We will definitely come back with her as a host!
My family and I had such an amazing time. From the pups to the baby :) we all enjoyed the beautiful cabin. The yard was so great for the dogs to run and play and the additional perks such as a high chair and play pen were much appreciated!
We will def be booking again :)
This house was amazing, just as advertised. Plenty of room for all 6 adults. Appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was with plates, silverware, pans, etc. The fenced in yard was awesome for our dog. The house is about 45 minutes from Pigeon Forge, but we appreciated the quiet location.
Mira provided a great home away from home. Everything we could possibly need for a quick getaway with friends. The attention to detail with small things- dog crate and bowls, stroller, etc was fantastic. The home was beautiful with all the Christmas decor. It was perfect for our 2 families of 4 with both teens and elementary age kids. Would definitely recommend!
Family, friends and our older dog want to the Smokey’s for the holidays. The home did not disappoint at all. The inside is big and spacious with plenty of space for everyone to relax. Plenty of household amenities and supplies. The views out the amazing wraparound porch took our breath away every morning and evening. Our dog also got around wonderfully and I appreciated the entirely enclosed yard. Amazing location for an amazing home.
Family of five and our furbabies really enjoyed our stay. House is gorgeous, clean and had everything we needed to cook with and clean up after ourselves. Mira was an excellent host and was very responsive throughout the whole process and checked on us daily throughout our stay! Huge fenced in yard for your doggies was a really nice feature for us. Loved the rocking chairs on the back covered deck. Will definitely stay again in the future.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this cabin! The interior is absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed. Mira was so wonderful to speak with regarding the booking. The property is off the beaten path from the commercialization of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, yet still had access to a grocery and tons of outdoor activities. We soaked up the zen retreat and relaxation in the cabin, but went to on a nearby trail hike to a waterfall one day! It’s a beautiful area! I’m already planning my next trip with the girls here to enjoy another weekend filled with hiking, yoga and relaxation! You won’t go wrong with booking this property!
All of the adults in our party have high stress jobs. We booked this place because of its remote location and the amenities included. It did not disappoint. Each of us were able to unplug and relax. The extremely clean and inviting home offered everything we needed for our kids to have a great time. Our kids range from 2 to 19. Even our pup was able to play in the fenced in yard. I would recommend this home to anyone with a family who just wanted to unplug and relax.
The home was beautiful, bright and clean from the moment you walked in. The area was quiet and fairly isolated. Plenty of room to sit outside. Be prepared for bugs as it is a heavy tree area. The wooden staircases are gorgeous. They layout is pretty but be aware the if you have teenagers sleeping in the basement - it is open to below. Still it was a lovely visit and a very relaxing time.
My wife and I took a few days to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. We brought our old dog with us too. The house is very well stocked with everything! The hot tub was wonderful and warm. Nice location and even with the road closures due to Helene it was easy to get around. Our dog struggled a little with the spiral stairs but she’s old and losing sight, so just be aware of that if your dog isn’t mobile. The tempurpedic beds are softer upstairs otherwise we wouldn’t have needed to use the stairs. The internet is weak and struggled at times but that wasn’t important to us. There wasn’t one negative to our experience. Mira was so sweet.and helpful as well.
We have been fortunate to have found nice properties on past vacations, but this one absolutely raised the bar. It’s a beautiful home set in the heart of the Smokey’s. The setup was perfect for our group of 10 with the multiple king sized beds and bathrooms/showers for everyone. We could have spent 24x7 on the wrap around porch and the hot tub got plenty of use as well. While it was a bit of a drive into Gatlinburg, it didn’t hamper us too much and there are plenty of stores and restaurants nearby that are out of the fray, which we appreciated.
Finally, the owner was so responsive and helpful. We had car trouble and she helped guide us and even offer that we could stay an extra night if needed. I’d highly recommend and hope to come back again in the future.
If you want to be away from the crowds of the tourist meccas but still want to be close to enjoy some of the fun stuff, this is a beautiful, clean, quiet villa where you will be off the beaten path. Our party of 9 had plenty of room to spread out but also come together for meals, games & cozy fireside chats & if it hadn't rained every day, we would've been grillin' n chillin' in the hot tub & sitting on the wrap around porch, enjoying the view of the Smoky Mountains. You can even bring your dog! There's plenty of parking & the kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glassware, utensils, pots & pans, the appliances are nice. From here you can easily get to the Pigeon River, Cosby Campground with easy to moderate trails, whitewater rafting, Douglas Lake or go the other way to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge & Sevierville. You will feel safe, comfortable & well taken care of by hosts that really seem to care to make a wonderful experience for you.
The beauty of the villa is a must-see in person; the pictures can hardly do the quality woodworking and craftsmanship justice. Well-appointed and nicely secluded. Extra touches, like availability of villa information and prompt communication made the stay very carefree. Dark enough at night we were able to see the Northern Lights with our cameras. A short, stunning drive to Gatlinburg, but "emergency forgotten supplies" options are only minutes away. No real need to leave if you've brought enough food — the WiFi even satisfied seven Millennials and all their devices. Nice, long table for dining or gaming together, and plenty of separate areas for individual activities or quiet time. Weather in May was stunningly unpredictable: enjoyed the thunderstorms in the mountains and the sound of the rain on the roof immediately followed by blue skies and sunshine. Very good times — best vacation we've all had.
We enjoyed our stay. I would however, recommend a curtain in the main downstairs shower. As you can see right through the frosted window. Also we only got one tv to work the entire week. So just be prepared. As it states it is in the woods. Overall it was a good time had by all.
PS. I would also recommend a handicap ramp of some sort. My husband had a scooter to get around with and we had to pick it up on the porch each time. But I also did not mention he was handicapped, this is just a suggestion in the future. Very beautiful place.
Our 25th anniversary getaway was outstanding at this cabin. I was looking for something quiet and away from the crowds. This was absolutely the place. We had some challenges at first because Hurricane Helene blew into town the day after we arrived. Each time I contacted the host, she responded promptly. She actually went over and above compared to some hosts we have encountered at other properties. The place was likely the cleanest rental we have ever stayed at. I have never seen a kitchen so well equipped with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. The pictures are accurate but do not do justice to how nice the place truly is. It is not a cabin but a very beautiful house. We plan on staying again. WIFI was a bit spotty but that could be attributed to the damage from the hurricane. One early morning a small buck deer walked across the lower part of the yard.
Country Zen Villa was absolutely perfect for my 60th birthday celebration. The cabin is gorgeous and the setting is so peaceful. We loved having three private en-suite bedrooms with king sized beds and of course relaxing in the hot tub! Our dogs enjoyed the large fenced yard and especially the wrap around gated porch.
It’s only about 15 minutes from Newburg, but you can get most of your food/supplies at DG Market just three minutes away. There are also some decent restaurants close by (I recommend “The Bean Trees”).
It’s close enough to Gatlinburg, etc. There are lots of outdoor activities and hiking trails nearby (our dogs enjoyed the Max Patch loop), or just stay put and relax!
Mira has created a really beautiful space with great attention to detail. She was also very responsive to our inquiries. We noticed an issue with the AC the first night, and she sent someone to fix it immediately.
I would definitely book this cabin again and highly recommend it!
This home is very nice and absolutely perfect for dogs. It has a huge fenced in area and wrap around porch. The host has thought of everything for your kitchen needs, the only thing I couldn’t find was a large skillet. It was a little difficult making French toast in wok style skillet. Lol The bed on the main level was extremely uncomfortable. This may just be because what we prefer and are used to. We couldn’t stay upstairs, because one of our dogs was afraid of the spiral stairs. The driveway needs asphalt at the bottom. The rock was flooded out and it made it very difficult to use it. It would be much nicer if you could park in the concrete driveway. The home is lovely, and once again, perfect for dogs.
