The location for this cabin is amazing (the views, the property to explore, and the location to other areas). The cabin is exceptionally clean and well maintained - impressive. The owner goes out of her way to make you feel welcomed and provides wonderful little touches specific to your need that are inviting and homey. To give you some examples: We were scheduled to arrive very late at night (close to 1:00am) and she knew we were traveling with a 4 year old - she contacted me to ask if I would like the fridge lightly stocked so we would be comfortable until we had time to head to the store. Coming in that late with a kiddo can be rough, and it was incredibly kind of her to leave us with some food and drinks (to include coffee - yay). We were also celebrating our daughters birthday (which is ON Christmas), the cabin was nicely decorated with happy birthday party favors throughout (it made our daughter feel very special). During your stay the owner is only a phone call away but completely respects your privacy. We spent a lot of time on the balcony admiring our view, we explored the private property, and my husband and daughter even enjoyed the hot tub (it was 20 degrees most of the time - I skipped it!!). We were close enough to Dollywood that we weren't exhausted with driving but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Smokey Mountain National Park is close by too which we visited twice. You could also just explore around the mountain and stay close to the cabin. The location, cleanliness, and hospitality were excellent and we would definitely recommend the cabin! Please note that if you are arriving very late night as we did, the roads are dark as it's in the mountains, but the owner gives you VERY DETAILED directions. Such a wonderful vacation :-)
