The Cozy Cabin was the perfect getaway. It was quiet amd away from the strip in Gatlinburg but only a 7 min drive to it. The rooms were great as well as the hot tub. Water pressure in the showers was great. Could not have asked for a more relaxing stay.

The cabin was wonderful, however the parking was difficult having my 72 year old mom with me. The road in front had a steep incline as well as decline so I don't recommend this for anyone elderly it is very difficult for them to walk to get to the cabin even in front of it and get in and out of a vehicle. The cabin was wonderful I recommend it. Just be mindful you can handle the road and parking.

Lovely, well maintained, very clean cabin. Perfect for 4 adults/2 couples. Each bathroom is attached to one of the 2 bedrooms which is private and convenient. My 2 adult children and I had plenty of space to be together or spread out for our individual pursuits.The cabin is conveniently located near Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the park entrance. Parking is in front of the cabin but on a hill. Once in the cabin, the first floor has the primary ensuite. Easy access to the main room and wrap around porch.We loved not being in a generic community but feeling we were in the Smokies with log homes surrounded by trees and hills.
