My brother, nephew and I visited for a guys weekend and my nephew's first trip down the river. The cabin sits high up on a ridge with great long distance views from the hot tub and back porch. There were no neighbors within sight or earshot - it was a great secluded getaway, and we would definitely stay there again. The only potential downside to note for families is that there is not a proper dinner table/ dining area, but rather two separate counter top spaces with bar stools. This was not an issue for us, but it may be important for some.

This house has such the mountain cabin feel it is amazing. The mountain view was more than we could have asked for. The house is well equipped with kitchen cooking aides and appliances. Also, plenty of towels and linens.

The cabin was beautiful, and totally private which we love. The hot tub has Mountain View’s. There was anything & everything we could possible need. The loft area was great for the teenage girls. Will definitely stay here again!

From the owner:
"Hi Audrey. I’m having an easy Sunday morning & saw your 5-star review. I greatly appreciate your wonderful review. Have a blessed Sunday!"
I spent time researching places near NOC, but not the unbelievable crazy prices of the NOC nice cabins (not the rustic ones). Some of the places on vrbo said cabin but in the end they were multiple units connected advertised as "cabin". This cabin is a cabin on its own and in a beautiful setting.Related to the other reviews - Yes this place is up a gravel road and pretty high up - that is how you get such an amazing view. Also keep in mind what the area is and the other options. This is a gem in comparison to what I saw online and what you see driving around. And the hot tub was clean - but any hot tub that has trees near it will get little leaves etc. blown into it. I had a friend "work from the cabin" upstairs while I drove my son up and down the from the cabin to NOC multiple times getting my kid back and forth from activities at NOC and then back and forth from Kayaking with Carolina Bound Adventures. It takes 9-11 min to drive down from the cabin from NOC. Also I brought with an air fryer to do steaks and s'mores Bring what you need. Also there is a nice fire pit. I saw wood for sale off that main road NOC is on. We just didn't want to mess with it. Also this place had more things to cook with - dishes, pots, pans etc. than many of the Gatlinberg Cabins I have stayed in.
