This cozy cottage was just that - Cozy, simple, beautiful views, and extra clean! The host was delightful. We really enjoyed our stay here, relaxing in the Smokey Mountains.
We enjoyed our time at Melody’s cabin. It truly is the “peaceful side of the Smokies”. The cabin was top notch clean and we had all the amenities we needed. Communication and expectations were met by all.
Everything was just wonderful! The location is perfect with the mountains all around the cabin and the short drive to the local restaurants and grocery store. Melody was so sweet and great with communication. We greatly enjoyed the fireplace and jacuzzi tub! Would absolutely visit again!
