About this house rental
Leave it all behind as you drive up through the dappled light of the multicolored leaves to our private cabin tucked away above it all at over 4000 ft. Enjoy your morning beverage on the patio as you wake up to the sun rising over the majestic purple mountains of The Smokies & gaze up at the stars by the firepit at night.

This property was wonderful. View is amazing, house is exceptionally clean, location is great. The pictures don’t do this house justice. House is larger than the pictures look. Would definitely book again.

Me and my girlfriend had come for the fall foliage, to do a little hiking and to eat some mountain town exclusive food (we are from the south east of the state) needless to say it was the most beautiful cabin we’ve ever rented for what we wanted to see. The balcony had tremendous views. The PRIVACY was top tier. No road noise. The cleanliness of the cabin was 10/10. Hands down will be back next year. Thanks for making it an easy choice for us, Gavin.
