This is one of my favorite rentals that I have ever stayed at. Michael, the owner, was extremely accommodating, kind, responsive, and helpful. The rental was fully stocked with everything you could need from kitchen utensils, to toiletries. The pantry was fully stocked with coffee supplies, the cabinets had plenty of dishes, and there were extra linens and towels. It’s very pet-friendly with the perfect grassy field for the pups to run around on, and the views were incredible. I was here on a work trip so we didn’t get to explore the area, but when we return, Michael offered to show us the best dog-friendly hiking trails. I would recommend this stay to anyone who wants peace and quiet, a great host, and the perfect place for a romantic getaway or family trip.

Michael, the host, was very friendly and welcoming. The view is gorgeous, and the lodging is unique and rustic (part of a barn). We stayed one night for the Polar Express train. Do wish the heating was more evenly distributed. It got really hot in the bedrooms. It was better when we turned the heat down and left the door cracked. Slanted flooring in some areas was a little quirky, but we rolled with it! Otherwise, unit was well supplied with extras: coffee, creamer, filters toothpaste, shampoos, paper towels and tissue, etc. It even had a large bottle of filtered water, which we were thankful to have. The host even let us check in early and stay later since no one else was expected. Great for our short trip to the mountains!

Nice little place to crash for the night after coming for the Polar Express on the Great Smoky Mountains railroad! Michael was great with communication and we loved the little touches like having Christmas music playing for us on the TV to greet us when we arrived.Recommend.

Our stay at Michael’s barn cabin was absolutely wonderful! Michael was such a friendly and welcoming host, and his sweet dog Enola Mae made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The cabin itself was perfect — cozy, spotless, and stocked with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The location was great too, close enough to everything without feeling busy or crowded. We truly enjoyed every minute of our visit and would happily stay here again!

We were greeted by Michaels dog Inola May. So sweet. The location was good, the house itself while small, had everything you could want. Very well stocked. Michael & Inola May came one evening to sit on the porch where he shared history of the property, and we were treated to hummingbirds & Fireflies! Very relaxing stay. Just what we were looking for.

Location! Location! Location! A very welcoming and safe accommodations. As two women traveling, this was very important that we felt safe and comfortable. Having our bedroom windows opened allowed us to hear the sound of a nearby brook and owls thru the night. Mike, the host was amazing and went over and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I included a pic of a sunset taken from the porch. We plan to return. Thanks Mike!

Our host was very friendly and was kind to check on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen seemed to be adequately furnished. We spent most of our time helping our grandson move in the university for his final year. We really appreciate the fact that the cabin was pet friendly so we could bring our 10 lb Maltese rescue with us. We had a really great stay and would stay there again. I would definitely recommend it to other visitors to the area.
