The views on the drive up the mountain were the first indicator of how beautiful the location was, and that was just the beginning. Everything about the cabin was what we wanted: comfortable, beautiful, fun, and a little rustic. The kitchen is roomy and has everything needed to cook as big a meal as you want. We made Christmas breakfast and dinner, along with other smaller meals, and we had everything we needed. My 6yo spent most of the week in the basement playing games and watching movies. My sister, who is the single aunt and is usually stuck with a pullout couch somewhere when we travel as a group, was thrilled to have her own bedroom and bathroom. (No longer the self-appointed āCouch Auntieā lol!) We even loved that the cabin was decorated for Christmas! We really appreciated that this cabin was owned and managed by an individual rather than a corporation, because communication and problem-solving was very smooth. We even had to call on Christmas Day because the power went out during a windy storm, and Laura was able to put in a claim for us with the power company immediately. (The power was back on within the hour.) The cabin is close enough to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park that we made multiple trips to each during our stay. The closest grocery store is 20 min away and had everything we could need or want. We hope to stay here again in the future!
