We had a great stay at the cabin. It was clean and had everything just as advertised. We brought our two senior dogs and they enjoyed hanging out in the hay field and walking the woods/trails. The location was also good for us as we were going to a basketball game. We would definitely stay here again. Great hosts!!.
Easy location to access, well-cared for property, comfortable sleeping and all the basics I needed. Was off visiting folks a lot, but would definitely stay again.
We enjoyed our stay. During the day we explored Knoxville and at night enjoyed the quiet of this home. My husband and son fished and played horseshoes while I walked the trail. Owners were quick to respond to inquiries. Would definitely stay here again when in the area.
We enjoyed our stay here. It was the perfect balance of “getting away” but we were only 10 minutes from downtown Knoxville. Our hosts left very detailed and helpful instructions and checked in with us just the right amount. We can’t wait to come back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Lil Joe, it was the perfect location between Maryville and North Knoxville. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating.
10/10, would love to book again!
Will return for future stays, we loved it. Local to so many interesting and fun venues. The cabin is well kept, clean and inviting. The fire pit, and new hot tub were an added bonus. Would recommend to anyone for a great experience.
Quite and Peaceful area, cabin was very well stocked with items that you typically have to purchase or bring with you for like rentals. Only wish we had more time to relax at the cabin.
Everything we needed was at Little Joe. As well as being in a great location to experience mountain bike parks and trails. Oh, and the variety of brew pubs and food was amazing. We will definitely be back.
We stayed for a UT football game weekend. Great location to Knoxville and quiet and private! The house was very clean. The description mentioned extra sleeping accommodations which we thought were included based on pics. The front porch was so nice and we grilled steaks on the gas grill. We would definitely stay again!
The absolute cleanest property I have ever stayed at. It is clear there is pride in the ownership of this property and surrounding grounds. Everything laid out with thought and care. I love the journal to write in for the guests too! Thank you for a wonderful visit to the area!
Exactly as described and pictured! Great stay away for a girl's week! Quiet and serene, close to the sights yet off the beaten path. The owners have been fabulous and incredibly accommodating! Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend the Little Joe on the Ponderosa.
Excellent property. Very caring owners.
Loved the whole experience
The extras are available for your stay
Hot tub was very welcomed. And the gas grill was a great convenience. Questions answered promptly
Will definately be back
Thank you
It is a peaceful location surrounded by nature and wildlife. The hosts are ver responsive to any questions. The cabin was extremely clean and well equipped with any and all needs you may have. Location is a short drive to Pigeon Forge, Townsend, Knoxville and Cades Cove.
We will return!
Went to Knoxville to watch my grandson pitch for the VOLS. The location of cabin to stadium easy to find and only 10 miles away.
Took many walks on the property with our dogs. Felt like home. I’m sure we will be back again next year.
The hosts to the property were extremely wonderful.
My wife and I were in need of a quick getaway after the craziness of the holidays. We always have loved the Knoxville area but wanted something other than a downtown hotel. We found the Little Joe Cabin and so glad we did! Everything about the property and cabin was exactly what we needed. This was by far the best VRBO experience we have ever had. The cabin was extremely clean, warm and inviting. The hosts were super responsive and very communicative; they thought of everything down to the smallest details. Even our dog had a great time and was welcomed with a doggy bone. We cannot wait to come back and bring the rest of the family too.
This cute cabin was just what we were looking for, so cute, yet very comfortable! Place was very clean, well maintained and labeled switches and instructions made things very easy to use. The jacuzzi felt amazing after a long day of hiking. If we’re lucky enough to get back this direction we will definitely come back here. Highly recommended!
