This was a perfect place for a family to relax in the mountains together. Very quiet and away from all of the touristy areas of the Smoky Mountains which is exactly what we wanted!

The house was super clean, and the location was pretty darn good, especially if you are going to make your way around to multiple locations to visit or if you are just going to stay at the house. Not saying anything bad about the property but bring bug spray if you go down by the lake/stream. They were very responsive if you have any questions before or during your stay.
