- Several short portions of the road to the cabin is moderately steep. This is very common for mountain cabins which offer spectacular views in return. During winter, four-wheel drive or snow chains are recommended.

- Driveway parking at the top is limited to 2 sedans. If your cars are larger, you can park on the lower section of the driveway or across the street.
- All issues have to be brought to our attention during the stay so that we can address them. There will be no post stay refunds if we are not informed of issues during stay.

I have a great interest in interior decor and travelling. Hosting a vacation rental means I can do both yay! I purchased this cabin in Sep 2019. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it, and I hope you do too. I think money may or may not bring joy; however, travel definitely makes us happier. It gives us an opportunity to step outside our well-worn, self-constructed realities and provides a platform to explore ourselves - who we might be when we are not anxious about safety, security and status. Being in the travel business make me feel like I am a life improver. I am happy when my guests are happy. That is why I am working very hard to make your experiences of the Smokies pleasant and unforgettable.
