The cabin was what we expected from the photos. Everything was terrific!
I truly enjoyed my stay in the cabin. I loved the private hot tub on the back deck. It was just what I needed after doing hikes, white water rapids, and dollywood during my stay. I also enjoyed the spa tub inside the cabin. We cooked several meals in the kitchen. I was impressed with the utensils and pans that were supplied. The mattress was super comfortable.
I would recommend bringing extra towels if staying longing than 2 days. There is only 1 hook to hang up towels to dry. Only 4 towels were in the cabin, and there is no washer or dryer in the cabin.
Beautiful cabin. Inside was immaculate. Really enjoyed the hot tub, LP fireplace, and view. The only improvement would be to clean the large windows above the deck. Definitely will be back.

Beautiful cabin. Really enjoyed the hot tub, LP fireplace, and view. Inside of cabin was clean and well organized. Large windows at rear of cabin need to be cleaned. Will definitely be back.
I contacted the cabin manager when we got there to let her know there was an issue with the fireplace. She let me know she would contact someone to try and get it fixed. It was never fixed. We stayed Saturday-Tuesday for our honeymoon and wasn't even able to use the fireplace. It was letting out black smoke and setting the fire alarm off. It was so bad I was blowing black soot out of nose the first night when we tried. Not a romantic get away like we wanted. Other than that the cabin was ok, decently cleaned. Location was quite except for occasional gun shots and dogs barking.
