Host is very responsive and helpful. The cabin was clean and well appointed. The hot tub was ready to go when we arrived, clean, and very relaxing. I would consider the cabin private and it was very quiet and peaceful. The host communicates the driveway clearly, so follow their suggestions. For awareness - if you are driving a truck of any size be prepared for the 3 (at least) point turn exiting the property. If we had an 8' bed instead of a 6, I'm not sure we would have managed very well. The host and the cabin itself was a delight. Thank you for having us!
The cabin was lovely. Perfect for us. It was my birthday weekend and just wanted a quick and quiet getawayâŠit was perfect. We had everything we needed and just relaxed .
Once you get used to driveway itâs a beautiful/easy stay! The water does have a slight smell/slick feel to it but we just bought some gallons of drinking water. The stay felt quaint and cozy. Would love to stay again!
Cale's cabin is a repeat! The place is a labor of love and is kept well too. We enjoyed it so much. He also made himself available answering all of our questions before, during, and after. Recommended!
This cabin is a wonderful place to stay! So beautiful and so cozy. Very neat and clean. Perfect home away from home! If youâre looking for a cozy peaceful getaway, this IS IT. The views are spectacular. Close to town but far enough away to get away from the hustle and bustle. I will be staying there again with my family next time! Donât miss out!
DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU WANT A VIEW. The pictures show a slight view however in spring and summer you only see foliage.This was not our first choice the cabin that I booked was apparently double booked so they offered this cabin instead.
We arrived after a backpacking trip and were expecting to use the hot tub to ease our body aches and relax. We arrived a little after 4pm which is check in and the hot tub was ice cold. The owners were responsive and stated that they drain the tub after every rental which is great however a hot tub takes a whole day to heat up so we were unable to use the hot tub until the following night when it reached temp. The TVs are great and you have access to Netflix however the night we arrived the sound bar was not working and it was past hours to reach out to the owners so we spent 2 + hours trying to get it to work which we eventually did and had no issues the rest of the trip. The king size bed was a seller for us as my husband moves alot and we prefer a king like we have at home but IT IS FIRM! the sheets feel like paper and the comforter is a rough quilt style comforter. There is only 1 chair on the porch and the instructions ask you to not move furniture around so I thankfully had my kayak chair to sit outside with my husband while we grilled. They charge you 175 for a cleaning fee and the instructions they send you say it is your responsibility to load and run the dishwasher(the dishes from the last visitor were still in the dishwasher when our stay started)take the trash out and pick up. Meaning the cleaner drains the hot tub washes the linen and sweeps the floors but not under the bed ( we tend to keep our bags under the bed so they are out of the way and allow a clean area when pulling our bags out there was dust and hair / bugs on them. We stayed here for my husband's birthday and while we enjoyed our getaway it did not meet our expectations. We were 30 mins from pigeon forge and hour from gatlinburg there are NO HIKES near the cabin and nowhere to walk around the cabin kind of a bummer. Overall the cabin was fine it served it's purpose it could have been more comfortable but beggers can't be choosers the hosts are very friendly and responsive during business hours. For the money I was spending and previous experiences traveling I was let down however it was a nice place. It is secluded and while there is a road below and neighbors there isn't much traffic and you don't see the people.
Between the sewage smell and sulfur smell and having to turn around in Neighborâs driveway that was filled with 40 yards of trash. The place wasnât that bad, however we can only stay one night out of two
This was a nice small cabin that has the proximity for Lake Douglas where you can fish and also hike. Also, a very short drive to Pigeon Forge, Dollywood and Gatlinburg. Very nice hosts with great communication. Be sure to be comfortable driving up a cliff so I would probably recommend not renting during inclement weather. Several small and quick fixes to the cabin itself would give the cabin more comfort and convenience (more comfortable mattress/ sticky gate latch/ uncomfortable lighting) and earn it a 5 star rating. Cabin offers a spacious porch with BBQ, comfortable jacuzzi and great views. (Hawks nest nearby). Overall, a great home base to enjoy all the amenities that the Smokey Mountain region has to offer.
