This cabin is nestled perfectly in the mountains. It’s not too far up that you’ll need 4-wheel drive, but far enough inland you have privacy and peace. It is higher than other cabins surrounding it, making it ideal for a family, couple, or friends who want a true getaway experience. The stream is very close and with a window open one is able to hear the water rush from the master bedroom, creating a relaxing environment for sleep after a long day of hiking or walking around Gatlinburg. The hot tub is a great addition as is the large deck. The deck has plenty of seating providing an outdoor view of the sunrise, mountains, and stream while enjoying breakfast at the high top table. It also has rocking chairs for those that like to sit with a cup of tea and relax to the sounds of rushing water and wildlife. The staff was very accommodating, available last minute when my friend and I decided to extend our vacation another day. Her and I both brought our toddlers (16 months), they loved the cabin and the deck. We were able to put a baby gate at the stairs which allowed them to play freely on the deck. We walked down by the stream and found a lighter stream that the kids got to play in, just watch out for common wildlife such as snakes. We only encountered one snake along the creek side, but it wasn’t a threat as it kept its distance. Do bring a source of protection and know how to identify poisonous snakes when exploring nature, especially when children are present.
Overall we were very satisfied with our experience and plan to stay again when we return next time.
