Scenic cabin with plenty of space for the whole family!

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The cabin was lovely and very clean, and there was plenty of space for all of us (4 adults, 1 child, and our dog). We had a small issue with the bathtub, but Teresita was very responsive about getting this issue fixed quickly. We had a great time and will definitely consider future stays at this cabin. Highly recommend!

Family trip to Dollywood

This was our 1st time staying in a cabin, we usually book hotel rooms. This was so much better, being able to be in the kitchen, dining area, porch together as a family. The manager Terisita, (i hope i spelled that correctly), is wonderful, she always gets back to you if you have a question, she is very personable. Kitchen was stocked with everything you could need to cook, i was impressed with that.My father passed away during hurricane Helene, and this was a family get together that we had been planning to do for some time.im thankful that everything went smoothly and was an enjoyable experience.

Beautiful Cabin, Close to Everything

Amazing! We stayed with 5 adults a 16 yr old and four kids under the age of 4yrs. Our host was absolutely AMAZING! She was very courteous and responded quickly to calls. She was so thoughtful when the resort wanted to turn off the water for a project for the day. Although they decided to wait for a later date to do their project she still gifted us with a generous gift card for our understanding. The cabin is supplied with all the necessities we needed. For the babies we were able to use a high chair & pack and play. The kitchen is well equipped with lots of pots and pans, cookie sheets, mixer, mixing bowl, casserole dishes. We were able to eat home cooked meals around a large family size table. There is a 12 cup coffee pot along with a Keurig single cup maker. We enjoyed the pool table and games downstairs. All the beds were new and comfortable. I love that they are all covered with a mattress encasement that is comfortable. I wrote the brand down for my own personal use with having grand babies. The cabin is located near everything! So close to all the attractions. The grand babies loved the Smoky Mountain Deer Farm and Exotic Petting Zoo only 9 miles away. We will definitely be back to stay!

My family enjoyed the cabin so much, everything was so homey and very clean! My 6 girls under the age of 8 enjoyed the games and we all had lots of space. The hot tub was amazing & so relaxing. Having a dog crate was very helpful and saved us much needed space in the vehicle. We did have a water issue through the whole resort on Monday the day before checkout and they were great with reaching out and offered a refund for the night without hassle. I most def will be visiting again!

We enjoyed staying here! Teresita was very prompt on answering when reaching out! Close drive to attractions but yet far enough away too. We tried pizza at the cove for dinner one night and that is the best pizza we ever had! We will definitely have that every time we visit that area. You wonโ€™t be disappointed in your stay here!
