We were so sad to check out because we (family of four) thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The location was central to every town we did stuff in -- Knoxville, Sevierville, Seymour, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Townsend. The house itself was comfortable, cozy, clean, spacious, airy, homey, and had everything we needed in the cookware/servewear department to make meals. The host was so kind as to leave us a dozen eggs laid by the very hens we saw right down the road from the house, and those eggs were delicious. Besides the chickens, there are lots of horses (many of which come to graze across from the house -- living room view! -- in the early evening), goats, and an adorable pig who will gladly eat your dinner leftovers. My family loved sharing some treats with him and the goats. There's a nice brookside trail right near the house, and the porch and rocking chairs were lovely for watching the moonrise. Beds were comfortable. So was the house temperature what with the A/C and fans. I slept really well and I'm a fussy sleeper. Some reviews have mentioned problems with the smell of the water what with the minerals. Wasn't a problem for us. We did buy bottled water but I also drank from the tap and the refrigerator water dispenser and had no issues whatsoever. Bonus: My hair loved the minerals in the shower water. Check-in was a piece of cake and the host was communicative and timely. We had a peaceful, happy stay here and felt like we truly had a second home.
