My husband and I along with another couple just returned home from a week at the cabin. It was exactly as presented online. Even though we had rain almost every night and some days, we loved sitting on the front porch and the enclosed porch listening to the rain. We cooked in everyday, and had everything we needed. We were able to have a fire on the night before we left, and it was wonderful! The cabin was cozy and very clean. Check in and check out were a breeze and communication with the owners was great! We would all highly recommend this rental.

Great stay at the cabin in the woods. Fantastic fire ring outside surrounded by lush trees and outdoor lighting and covered split wood storage. We had fun tossing corn hole and fishing in the small pond at the bottom of the cabin. Cabin was perfect, small and quaint. Close to Lake Chatooge and town...

This property is by far the best cabin we’ve stayed in, and we’ve stayed in a lot. Super close to everything 15 min to Ingles and Walmart. The pond is beautiful my sons fished with all the spare time we had lol. Very easy to get to, beds all really comfortable, they have literally everything you can think of if you forgot something they have it. Very well run property will definitely be back again.

Mountain Laurel Cabin is a little piece of heaven. When you open the door you are so happy you chose this cabin. The cabin is simply beautiful and tastefully decorated and clean. Host Jeanine has taken care of every detail to make your stay comfortable and welcoming; has all you can possibly need and more - from a cell phone charging station, brochures of restaurants and places to see, horseshoe and cornhole games, a firepit (wood available), even an umbrella. She thought of everything! The view of the pond from the cabin is breathtaking and once you are there you can enjoy a peaceful environment, listen to the sounds of nature and have fun swimming or simply floating (you can even fish there). We enjoyed dinner at Murphy Chophouse, The Farmhouse and JR Chophouse. We saw the Fields of the Wood (a must see) and even enjoyed The House Cat Museum. On our way home we saw the Uhuburg (Eagle Owl Castel) in Helen. I included only outdoor photos so you can be pleasantly surprised when you walk in like we were. Best vacation ever!!!!

This was by far one of the best places i have ever stayed at, clean, quiet, and was exactly what was advertised. If your looking for a place to stay away from commercial tourists spots this is it. The only issue ( and really not a big issues) was the cleaner showed up about 15 minutes before checkout but promptly left when they realized i was still there. I'm definitely going to be booking again !!!

Wonderful cozy cabin with your own private pond to fish (catch&release) or just sit on dock and enjoy the beauty of nature. The cabin was very clean and provided basic supplies. Screened-in back porch over looking the pond has a nice gas grill. Fire pit area was perfect to sit around for a relaxing evening with horseshoes to play. Excellent place to stay especially if you love nature. Quiet and secluded, but close to town and an easy drive to the Great Smokey Mountains!

This was the most relaxing, yet fun filled vacation we have ever had! We only left the cabin twice during our week stay. We spent most our time down by the pond. We caught and released countless fish. My husband and daughter enjoyed the jon boat several times. We enjoyed the ring game on the porch, the Cornhole boards, the horseshoes and the fire pit. The property is quiet and secluded. We had breakfast on the screened in porch every morning. I HIGHLY recommend this property. Side note: watch for hornets on the dock. I got stung by 3 hornets within a few minutes of being there. Thankfully my husband located hornet and wasp spray and took care of them so we could enjoy the dock. The cabin is well stocked for cooking also. I can't say enough good things about it here! We will be back!
