The cabin was not very clean. Bathroom walls were dirty and it smelled a little like urine. The cabin was very damp and smelled like mold the whole time. A dehumidifier is definitely recommended. The screened back porch was nice, and so was the location.
The cabin is perfect. We stayed with my brother in law and his wife. We had a great time. It was extremely cold, spent alot of time in the cabin enjoying the company, the beautiful fire and the river flowing by. Easy access to Gatlinburg activities.
Great location. This is a quaint little cabin. Nothing fancy but nice. It gives you the feel of going to stay at Grandma's house. It wouldnt be for someone who likes high-end amenities. I would go stay again.
My husband and I absolutely LOVED this cabin. The location was perfect. Close enough to downtown to walk. But also secluded enough for privacy. Very clean. The drainage situation in the shower could use some work, but other than that, we had absolutely no complaints. Loved it. Will be back for sure.
Every thing was great. Enjoyed listening to the river while sitting on the screened in porch. The rocker on the porch was ready for the dump. Need more comfortable porch furniture.
Inside was nice.
Overall very pleased. We loved the location! It felt secluded and yet we were able to walk to almost everything. My husband and son both fished in the river, catching trout. The river was so peaceful and sitting on the back porch listening to the water dropped our stress level tremendously. No complaints as the cabin suited our needs. It is outdated with furnishing and wall borders but again, we were overall very pleased. Great stay!
It was like staying with my grandma back in the day. My husband and i laughed every time the screen door slammed. We both remember getting yelled at as children for slamming the screen door. The river was very relaxing while sitting in the hot tub.
It included everything we needed. We really enjoyed the view and the sound of the Little Pidgeon River from the screened in porch. The beds were comfortable. The place was clean. The hottub was hot and ready for us when we arrived. We got surprised by a large black bear meandering past our porch around 5:30 on one of the evenings, which we enjoyed, but are glad we weren't sitting out there at the time!
Great location on a quiet street. The sunroom overlooking the river was my favorite part. Within walking distance to the town of Gatlinburg and very close to the Moonshine Mountain Coaster and Hillbilly Golf.
We had an amazing stay in this little cabin right on the river! Close to town center and easy drive to all the attractions. Very cozy and quaint! We loved our stay!
This is amazing place to stay. The location is perfect. Its in the woods enough for the mountain feel, but close enough to walk into town. You cant get a better location. We walked out on the screenporch to be greeted by a beautiful black bear on the other side of the door. Its one of my many favorite moments while we were there. We will be back next year.
