    We loved our stay at the cabin! The property was clean, cozy, and exactly as described online. There are so many nice touches that make the cabin feel like home. As shown in the pictures, the cabin is nestled into the forest, and provides plenty of privacy and quiet.We have smaller children, and all three wanted to sleep in the bunk room. Guests with older children will appreciate the many different options for beds (in addition to the four mattresses in the bunk room, there are two queen beds, a pull out sofa, and three recliners).There is not much space for kids to run around outside (we were afraid our 3-year-old would accidentally toss the bean bag in the forest, so we were hesitant to play cornhole on the porch...). However, our kids managed to get plenty of energy out by walking/jogging up and down the paved portion of Judd's Trail at the end of the gravel driveway. They loved this hike and did it several times in a row just for fun!One other note as you are driving in: We found that Google Maps did not always give accurate directions, but Apple Maps always seemed to work.Thanks for a truly enjoyable stay and we would love to come back!

    The host were very easy to work with and readily available. Great communication. The cabin was very clean and most anything needed was provided except for items disclosed. The cabin had a rustic design and feel, which was great. We'll decorated and comfortable furnishings. The whole cabin was well stocked from kitchen to bath. The cabin is located in a nice location. A few cabins near by. But for my stay it was mostly quite and secluded. The covered porch was very enjoyable with two swings and some rocking chairs. The grill was in great condition and functioned wonderfully. A great stay, in a great cabin, in a nice location. Really enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommend.

    We really enjoyed our stay. It was just as listed. The host was super accommodating and assisted us in extending our stay an additional night. Our biggest regret is that we couldn’t stay longer than we did. We hope to return in the future.

    Great place to stay just a few miles from Franklin. The weather was great. Your first time visit be sure to arrive before dark. We did not have to use the A/C during our stay. The cabin was well stocked with cooking utensils. Nice big porch to relax on.

    Very clean and well organized cabin. Accurate listing. Nice place for our family to stay while visiting the Smoky Mountains. Remote location yet close to things. No cell service for us, but good Wi-Fi. Probably one of the cleanest places we’ve stayed!

    We loved staying at the cabin for a quiet family vacation in the moutains. We opted to reschedule our vacation due to hurricane flooding and Leslie worked with us to find a new date for our stay. The cabin was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and there were plenty of movies and games for our family to enjoy! We're excited to come back!

    What a great place. We ran from Milton to the mountains and what a Gem we found. It doesn't bother anyone that there was no wifi. We had a great time.
