The house was really nice, and the owners quick to respond to every email or text we sent. Almost everything was included. Check in could not have been easier. We did need to run out and buy a few things like hot pads. There is a conveniently located DG store just up the drive that had everything we needed. When booking this property, pay notice to starter supplies only. We did take extra paper towel and toilet paper. Backyard on the creek - fun to play in and explore. Spent every morning and evening back porch rocking and drinking coffee. You do look into the houses directly across the creek from the property but with plenty of trees and the creek in between. Nice fire pit area. There is also a house in front of the property that you can rent to accommodate additional guests traveling with you. Distant enough away but still close enough to feel like you are all together.There is no lake view or mountain view to speak of. About 25 minutes from Gatlinburg but a very nice drive. We are definitely planning to return next year.

The cabin was beautiful as was the river. The only issue was finding our cabin was not the easiest since the driveway is small and blocks that cabin being behind another. The drive to Gatlinburg was easy and scenic but the drive to Pigeon Forge was pretty far. Overall, very peaceful area.

The place is quiet and peaceful, nice spot next to a creek. There's a few minor details in the house that can improve: the door to the back porch gets stuck every time and the pots and pans in the kitchen can use a replacement, other than that I will definitely go back. Awesome spot.

Fun family getaway
Relaxing cabin on a creek with other cabins in close proximity but not too noticeable. The hot tub was great. We made s’mores on the fire pit, cooked on the grill and enjoyed every aspect of the cabin. Some extra blankets for the beds and a throw blanket or two in the living room would be nice. Overall, zero complaints and we would definitely stay again!

Peaceful Disconnect
Cute and cozy. The sounds of the creek all day and night was just what we were trying to do! No sounds of traffic...only water and birds. Loved waking up to a woodpecker looking for breakfast rather than the hustle and bustle of the city. Cabin was clean and stocked well with linens. We did need some soap and normal household needs. They supplied about 1 days worth of soap/laundry/dishwasher stuff and consumables which was fair. Dollar General is super close by. Pack it if you are road tripping! Cheaper that way. Cabin is close enough to the attractions or in my preference just far away enough! We came for the quiet but did visit a few local shops and even went to see a dinner show in Pigeon Forge. Hatfield vs McCoy is worth every penny. Good food. Awesome show.

Relaxing
We absolutely enjoyed our mini getaway for our 10 year anniversary. So happy that we got to bring our dog. We enjoyed just sitting on the back porch, listening to the river pretty much our whole stay. We will definitely revisit this cabin again. Also happy that we got to enjoy the fireplace on those cool mountain mornings.

Beautiful location in a peaceful setting
We spent 4 quiet nights in this cute, cozy cabin. The location was perfect for the activities we did and the hot tub was nice to soak in every night after our walks/hikes. The cabin is well appointed and decorated perfectly for the creek location. The bed is one of the most comfortable we've ever slept in. I would recommend staying here to anyone. You won't be disappointed. We plan to stay again soon!
