It was close enough to the show and far enough away from the traffic that once I left the strip I had the chance to settle down and enjoy the quiet in the mountains.

Nice little place but just average. Not much to do there except sleep and watch TV. Needs more activities to do there. Planned stuff away from the cabin because of it.

Wedding at Pigeon Forge
We loved the cabin. It was perfect for our long weekend stay for a wedding. The location was perfect. Right off the main highway from Seiverville to Gatlinburg. Close to everything. Kathy called and spoke to me personally prior to our stay to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend this cabin.

Ponies in the Smokies Visit
This little cabin was perfect for our stay to visit the Convention Center in Sevierville. All the items in here were well thought out as far as needs go for your vacation stay. I would have liked a grill or flat iron to cook outside but we managed without it. The owner was very prompt with replies and we had no issues.

GO JAGS!!
Outside property looked very nice. Entering onto the porch with rockers very inviting although to chilly to sit. Entering very cozy. 2 bedrooms with each a restroom makes it nice for multiple people. Eveything you would need in the kitchen. Back screened in patio with rockers would again been nice if better weather. Enjoyed our stay, great communication with property manager. Thank you very much. Will keep in mind for future visits to the area.
