Sep 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Overall loved this stay. Great location with beautiful views of the Smokies right off the front porch. If you're looking for a great place to unplug and unwind this is it. No cell service, but there is wifi if you need to stay connected or stream shows/movies, plus there's DVDs if you want to go old school.Only downside is it's a long drive back to town if you need anything, so make sure to stock up before you go. There is a 12 cup drip pot coffee maker, but they only had 4 cup filters in the cabin, so just do as i did and make smaller pots, or grab filters before you arrive. Overall a wonderful experience. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9b7ec749-d516-476f-b28a-6d65804ee590-1756762395893.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d4dd85dc-5e83-4dc5-a402-6c3a8ae25b29-1756762396898.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/18f1fc93-ecb3-494c-a4bc-e54f3f5c867c-1756762411433.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Drew H.
