This property was perfect for two couples taking their first drive on the Dragon. The cabin had everything we needed plus it was only 3 miles away from the 129 Hub where we met for our run. If you're planning a trip specifically to drive the Dragon then this is the perfect cabin to rent. It's also very close to restaurants and grocery stores if you need to make a trip into town. We will definitely stay here again. ##### Lori C.

Everything we needed was there and they did a great job labeling and giving through instructions. The space was comfortable, the shower was awesome, and we had fun playing video games. I was concerned being so close to the road that there might be noise but it was very quiet at night. We would definitely here again. ##### Beth C.

We rented this cabin for our 20th anniversary and we had the best time. The cabin is so clean, very cute, well decorated, and fully stocked. The property owner, Kristy, is super friendly and very responsive. We brought our motorcycle down and rode the tail multiple times, the cherohala skyway, hell bender, and into NC. Visited Wheels Through Time Motorcycle Museum and Cherokee, NC. We also were only an hour away from pigeon forge and gaitlinburg and visited for dinner a few times. Maryville is also a perfect close town. The windy city grille and the Mexican restaurant next to it was soo good. We definitely enjoyed our visit and will rent again. Having the gas station right next door is very convenient as well. ##### Kaylee K.
