Inn the Woods - cozy place in the Smokies

The property was clean and had plenty of space for our family of 4. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space with the fire pit. It was in a great location, far enough away to feel private, but a short drive to many attractions. The AC worked well and the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with the accessories you may need.

The home was extremely nice and in a very convenient location. The host is very friendly and always a message away. I already miss it!

The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you might need. It was exactly as described. We had a great time

Great communication. Very cute and quaint. For a cabin in the woods, it was a very nice stay. Location was perfect for what we had planned in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

A group of four teachers stayed for a weekend to relax. The area was nice and quiet. Seating on the deck was nice. The property had everything we needed, except enough washcloths. The beds were comfortable. We had a bear walk right through the front yard our first night, and that was exciting! The only suggestions I would make are to make the outdoor flowers look more realistic (or do away with them altogether) and to provide two washcloths per guest. There is a washer and dryer to do laundry so we were able to launder the towels and washcloths. It needs to be noted there are 3 air conditioning units throughout, and each one said they needed to be cleaned. I think a humidifier in the main living space would help. The game room needed to be straightened up a bit. Kids would love that space. Overall, I’d say it was a nice stay. Communication with the hosts was exceptional. Just a couple little tweaks here and there, and it would be 5 stars.

This place is in a great location. Very cute. We enjoyed our stay.

We loved our stay. Perfect for our family of 4.

Plenty of room for our family of four. A little tricky to find the first time in the dark as it’s off the beaten path. Couldn’t find oven mitts but otherwise equipped for cooking.

Very enjoyable stay! The host was very communicative and friendly. Even checked in the second day of our stay via text to see how things were going and to see if we needed anything. The house itself was not too big and not too small. Just the perfect amount of room. Very clean and well organized and comfy. You are in a beautiful wooded area but only 15 minutes from the Parkway. Some caveats, which luckily for us didn’t impede our enjoyment of the place, just giving an FYI to people considering the rental. They have well water so you need to bring your own drinking water and water for coffee etc. I rechecked the listing throughly and didn’t see this listed. I didn’t find this out until a few days before my trip. For those with limited mobility, not even just including wheelchairs, the path from where you park to the house is kinda steep and is comprised of imbedded stones. It isn’t shown in the pictures included in the listing. Just shows the path to the game room. It can be a bit tricky to climb when carrying luggage or during/after rain. Not a deal breaker for us but just wanted people to be aware. If the morning light wakes you up easily you may wish to bring a sleep mask. The curtains are very sheer, with the ones in the master bedroom being slightly see through and none have blinds underneath. None of these things made our stay there unenjoyable. We just felt they were things people should know in advance. Still would highly recommend this lovely hideaway.

The host was very responsive and helpful!

We enjoyed our stay! Maria responded immediately to any questions. Everything was so clean. My whole family enjoyed our stay!

It was fantastic! Very cute, very cozy, had all of the amenities we could need and then some. I absolutely loved the swings on the front porch and the layout of the house. It felt like there was plenty of space for 3 adult women without us also feeling too separated. Absolutely would recommend. Maria was kind and helpful when I had any questions, and provided plenty of information about the property and the area.

Awesome place to stay! Everything was nice!

We had a great time! The property was clean, cozy and everything worked. Everything we needed was provided which made our stay even nicer. Nice isolated location but still close to everything. We would highly recommend this property and would stay there again!

Cozy cabin, comfortable environment. Literally, 'inn the woods'. It was great!

We enjoyed the stay. Host was very prompt on communication and was a good place.

The only positive thing I have to say is that it was clean There was a sign that stated the water was well water and should not be consumed, however, there was no bottled water provided. My husband is rather fit at 82 years old, however the “sidewalk” was made of round stones and it was even hard for the younger people in our group to manage. The beds were just a mattress on a low metal frame which was also not something I was expecting. We were attending a wedding in the area. After seeing the property and spending one night of our three nights, I reached out and asked if we could have a refund for our last night as the property was quite secluded, and I was told no. We had zero cell service, which meant no help if we had an emergency. So, We went into town and got a hotel. We paid for 3 nights and spent one at the property Unless you are extremely fit, and bring water with you I would think twice. Also I will add that the entrance door had a wreath on it that said Merry Christmas, the wedding we attended was August 10, 2025.

The home was lovely. Warm and welcoming. the cabin had everything anyone could need from spices to pots and pans, washer/dryer, and a great game roo. and outdoor space. The cabin was exceptionally clean!. would highly.recommend to stay here!

Lovely place. Quiet (if you're not with us rowdy 65 year-olds who still act like we're 21. LOL) House is on a slight incline, so walking up the walkway was a little bit of a challenge, but otherwise wonderful location. A reflective device would be helpful to find the driveway at night. Sorry about not being able to submit pictures. All pictures are on another's phone. But trust me, we had a great time!!!

Perfect location for what we wanted! We stay in the PF area 4-6 times a year and this spot will definitely be added into our rotation. Comfortable and quiet. All of the comforts of home. Plenty of room. Maria was great with communication and checking on us. Close enough to get to the strip, but far enough away to feel like you are in the mountains. Campfire at night and sitting on the porch was ideal!

We had lovely time staying at Maria's place in the Smokies! It's so cute and tucked away in the woods away from all the hustle and bustle. We made a fire and roasted marshmellow's under a blanket of stars and enjoyed some great quality family time. Maria's place has a fully stocked kitchen that we utilized every day. It was very clean and organized when we arrived. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!

Perfect home to relax for a couple of days. Home has everything you need. Absolutely beautiful home! We would stay here again, and the host is great.

Enjoyed our stay!

Super nice place i the woods. We love it. Thank you.

Very relaxing a quiet area in the mountains. We enjoyed it very much.

It was nice and quiet

This was our second stay here, it's a beautiful property! Perfect if traveling with teens,everyone has their own space. The fire pit is wonderful! Maria is a wonderful hostess and great with communication. Highly recommended!

It was a cozy little house with anything you could need. We only stayed 2 days. We were sad that we couldn’t find the key to the game shed but we honestly barely had enough to play anyway so it really wasn’t a big deal to us. The owner was extremely communicative and helpful along our stay. I highly recommend staying at this property and I would absolutely stay here again if I come back this way.

This was a wonderful place to stay for our family weekend in Tennessee! Such a cozy and comfortable place to come home to after our festival.

We loved our little getaway and would definitely return

This property is setting in a beautiful location. The listing is just like the pictures online and has everything a family could need for a stay in the Smoky Mountains. It was also very clean, probably one of the cleanest our family has stayed in. It has a spacious area outside for a campfire or kids to play and the game shed was a hit for our kids. The check-in and out process was easy. We also had great communication with the property owners. I would highly recommend this property.

Clean and quiet. Enjoyed our stay.

The property is close to town but remote enough that we got to enjoy the sounds of wildlife, not traffic. Everything was very clean. All of our needs were provided for including cooking needs as we elected to eat most meals at the cabin. The view from the deck is breathtaking. The game room had multiple game options to keep adults and children entertained. We were able to park 2 vehicles easily.

Had a nice time

This place was absolutely perfect. The check in process was super easy and the house was super cozy. We wnjoyed getting to know all of the adorable furr friends around the property. My favorite moments were cuddling up on the couch with a warm blanket and also having breakfas on the porch. I hope we can make it back to stay again one day. Thank you so much for providing such a warm and inviting space. Also,what scent was used in the house? My wife was OBSESSED!

Maria was great in keeping an open communication throughout the days before and during the stay making the planning of what stuff to bring, check in and check out process a breeze. Although the cabin is a little hard to locate(would not recommend going the first time in the dark), was a great place to stay with all spices and necessities included and pizza, coffee and deli places nearby. Overall we had a great time at the cabin. Would definitely recommend.

We had a shakey check in because we didn’t receive our code until a couple hours after the check in time, but our stay was pretty good. Property manager sent a message that said that she would send over check out details after we were settled in, but we never received a message about the details, so we tried our best to leave the property tidy. We didn’t have any issues with the house, although it was a little hard to find due to unmarked branching dirt roads right before you reach the property. I do not recommend coming in a low vehicle due to the condition of the roads. Overall, the place was nice.

Spent our thanksgiving once again in Tennessee. Loved our rental - cute and cozy. We didn’t spend a ton of time there ( mostly to sleep) as I had a whole bunch of things booked - but communication was easy home was clean and comfortable. Would definitely rent again. Thank you for offering your home to our family.

It was all great just a little hard to find at night and the dirt roads are hard to drive on luckily we had an SUV.

Me and my children enjoyed our stay. This place was very clean and homey. It was close enough to all the stuff we visited. Maria was quick on any questions I had. We will definitely be choosing this place again for the next time we visit.

Maria was so accommodating!!! She reached out after our first night to see if our stay was what we expected. The Inn the Woods was exactly what we wanted, distant from the busyness, yet a short drive to the main strip! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend “Inn the Woods” Thank you for sharing your home with us.
