Our stay at Michael’s barn cabin was absolutely wonderful! Michael was such a friendly and welcoming host, and his sweet dog Enola Mae made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The cabin itself was perfect — cozy, spotless, and stocked with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The location was great too, close enough to everything without feeling busy or crowded. We truly enjoyed every minute of our visit and would happily stay here again!

Nice little place to crash for the night after coming for the Polar Express on the Great Smoky Mountains railroad! Michael was great with communication and we loved the little touches like having Christmas music playing for us on the TV to greet us when we arrived.Recommend.

We were greeted by Michaels dog Inola May. So sweet. The location was good, the house itself while small, had everything you could want. Very well stocked. Michael & Inola May came one evening to sit on the porch where he shared history of the property, and we were treated to hummingbirds & Fireflies! Very relaxing stay. Just what we were looking for.
