It’s affordable, beautiful views and Tammy is wonderful. Only thing I’d say is, I wouldn’t suggest this to “groups” it’s really made for a couple and their children.

The view was fantastic everything was cleaned and organized! It’s perfect for a minimalist stay! We didn’t get a chance to go to the Peace Pagoda near by but plan to return for a visit! The only thing I wish we were aware of is the rough road on the way up. We have a 4 door sedan that still made it up there to the cabin luckily we’re used to that kind of thing where we live. Otherwise we have absolutely no complaints! We enjoyed our stay! ##### Queitha P.

We were looking for a secluded location away from the tourist areas and this fit the bill. There were plenty of rustic roads and hiking trails to explore with our dog, including a hike up to the Peace Pagoda. We enjoyed taking a break from technology. The road up to the cabin is steep and we came in after dark and the cabin was hard to locate due to lack of GPS, however the owner was so nice to call us after we messaged her at midnight and helped us find our way. This is definitely a cabin for people looking for a more rustic, laid back experience. ##### Kimberly F. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas S. Sep 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good for a quiet weekend getaway Cabin was nice. Very clean. It’s great if you’re wanting to spend most of your time at the cabin relaxing. It was very peaceful and the view off the deck overlooking the mountains is absolutely amazing. It was mid summer and very hot so we didn’t use the hot tub or the fire pit but I’m sure those would be great in the cooler months. We planned on coming and going a lot during our stay so going up and down the mountain was kind of a chore but luckily we had a good truck with 4x4 for the mountain road. Overall we were pretty happy with our stay and would most likely come back. ##### Nicholas S. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Robert F. Jul 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Small, remote cabin near I-40 Made it up to the cabin in a FWD sedan fairly easily by following instructions, signs, and scouting ahead on foot. Very comfortable bed in cramped MBR. Photos make cabin look better than it actually is. Feels very cramped in shower, faucet handle fell off. Blinds are damaged, one is difficult to open. The good views are in one limited direction only. It is tight to turn car around to head back down. Someone's car was parked at the wilderness trailhead quite close to the cabin. We didn't see any people, but that made it feel a lot less private . ##### Robert F. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tammy O. Sep 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great solitude away from city The MOST important thing to add here is beware of the roads to the cabin site. You MUST have a 4WD or a Front WD to make it up to the cabin. Once you are there, the views are breathtaking and its extremely private and peaceful. The cabin is well stocked with what you need for your stay; just bring your groceries. There is an added bonus at the top of the mountain; the Peace Pagoda. Its currently under construction but worth the hike up the mountain. Hike in the afternoon because the air quality is much better and be prepared when hiking anywhere in the area the trails are moderately challenging due to the steepness. Also, be sure to text for garbage pick-up because there are some bears in the area. We chose to take it when we left each day. Enjoyed the jacuzzi and the privacy! ##### Tammy O. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kyle C., North Augsta, SC Apr 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 100% as advertised If you read the description and enough of the reviews, then you should know exactly what this place is. It's a small cabin, remotely located halfway up a mountain. It is an adventure to find the cabin. You don't need 4 wheel drive, but I would highly recommend trying to get there when the sun is still out. This place is very private with an incredible view. As an adult, I would not want to sleep in the loft area, but my kids thought it was an adventure and loved it. It's about an hour drive to the Pigeon Forge area, so if you want to do the touristy stuff every day, then this might not be what you want. I would say this is for the couple or family that just wants to get away from everything and get some piece and quiet. With the hot tub, fire pit, and hiking trail (and they are a hike) this place is a good find. ##### Kyle C. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Faith S. Dec 1, 2022 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Rats This was a nice little place, it has the potential to be 5 stars. But we listened to rats in the walls all night, all of the vents in the cabin were clogged up with lint, there wasn't many towels and only two rolls of toilet paper. Before we went to sleep, we checked the door and windows to see if they were locked, almost every single window was unlocked. The upstairs loft is so much smaller than the ad makes it seem. Most people can't even sit up straight without hitting the ceiling. The whole advertisement has flaws all throughout it. And the cabin is NOT secluded whatsoever, from other cabins to park rangers lurking around for no reason. ##### Faith S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Totally enjoyed the stay here 100% kinda got on the wrong trail at first and the owner was quick to respond when I called. The view is amazing! Was not far from Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, two places we visited and the Forbidden Cavers is a must too. Thank you for everything! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/89303514-0ee6-45f0-ad20-6f002ff29c91-1760305667085.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ashley Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie C. Jul 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rustic and peaceful The cabin was perfect for what we wanted. It was very quiet and peaceful to be out in the mountains. The cabin was awesomefor the price we paid. Great for 2-4 people, smaller cabin. The loft area is mainly just sleeping quarters. The roads leading up to the cabin are rocky back roads, better with AWD or 4 wheel drive. We did manage with FWD. The best part was to be able to take a nice hike to the Peace Pagoda, which is absolutely beautiful and a must see. Travel to Galinburg or Pigeon Forge takes about 45 minutes, which was perfectly fine with me...mostly back curvy roads with beautiful scenery. Would definitely stay again. Thank you for allowing and sharing your cabin home with us!!! ##### Carrie C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taryn V.

Once we found it, it was really simple to remember! ALSO I GOT ENGAGED ON THIS TRIP!! My fiancé proposed to me at the Peace Pagoda which is right up the hill from this cabin. I wish I could add pictures to this review to show how incredible the view really is from this cabin. I highly recommend this cabin for couples!! ##### Taryn V.

We contacted Tammy and within an hour, maintenance was there to diagnose the problem. Turns out the water pump burned out, but they had it fixed before we went to bed the same day. The next day, the oven went out. They replaced it the same day. Brand new oven installed. We will be back to stay next year. We really enjoyed it. A couple things for future guests: the shower is very small- if you are tall you might have trouble showering, but it can be done. The loft has really low ceilings- our kids loved it but it was not comfortable for adults. The cabin is cozy- more than 4 people would be really crowded. The mountain is steep- a car can make it but 4WD/AWD makes it much easier. The hiking trails are the driveways up and down the mountain- they are really steep, so bring hiking shoes. ##### Brian J.
