If the foundation of this property would get sprayed by an exterminator occasionally the problem could be resolved easily. Nice garage to park a small sports car or motorcycles in. ##### Allen Y.

Clean, comfortable beds (including Murphy Bed in living room) and bathrooms. No cell service but no surprise for the Smokies. Living room TV had no local channels we could find, but had your basic apps, although Wi-Fi is a bit slow. Spacious garage for at least 4 bikes, maybe more with smaller rides. Driveway is paved and sort of a switch-back style. It’s quite steep and may be difficult for novice riders. Overall great experience and would rent there again. ##### Sanece Marie P.

I'm glad i did. Where do i begin this cabin is amazing! The views, the location and the cabin are perfect! We came down specifically to ride the Tail of the Dragon. Let me tell you it did not disappoint. You literally have to drive the dragon every time you come and go! So amazing! We only stayed the weekend so we crammed everything we could in the short time we were there. We are definitely coming back to stay longer! Definitely going to do some hiking! 10 out of 10 would recommend! ##### Julian R.

It felt more secluded than other rentals I've stayed at in the area. Left early, so I didn't get to complete the checkout process as requested the afternoon before my checkout, but the renters seemed to understand and were open to my suggestion for a welcome/instruction booklet that explains what needs to be done to checkout like I've seen at other rentals. ##### Matthew G.

That is only a problem with check-in. I received the info to access the cabin some time after getting in the area and by then it was too late. So we made a late night trip to find cell service. It was not fun. I feel like the owner might send the info sooner in the future. But beware of it and take steps to avoid the headache. Secluded is great…except for the stranded part. And the cabin is nice. Baths need a once-over thorough cleaning. ##### Ma Z.

Looking for a cabin in the area for a little while, we found a few that were really well hidden in the woods and looked neat, but reviews have said it’s a gravel drive, and may be difficult for some bikes/cars. Because we drove our sports car, we wanted a garage, and easy access. This cabin was originally a bit of a compromise. But boy it impressed! The drive to it may be steep but it’s paved and a private drive. The cabin sits proud on a hill with a wonderful view, the inside of the cabin was very well decorated and thought out. It was a very nice place to stay! We are planning another trip in October, and will book again! ##### Daniil S. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2021
