Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host even had items for our 4-legged baby available along with drinks and snacks waiting on us during our arrival. We loved the privacy of the home's location, the fenced in area for our baby as well as the access to the river.

We had such a wonderful stay! The place was clean and clearly very well cared for, which made it feel comfortable the moment we walked in. The decor was absolutely adorable—thoughtful, cozy, and full of charm, including a pellet burning stove. One of the highlights for us was how pet-friendly everything was, including the fenced-in yard - perfect for letting our pups roam safely. Extra touches like Moonpies and treats for both us and the dogs were such a thoughtful surprise. It really felt like our hosts went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. We loved the welcoming signage—it added a personal touch that made the stay feel even more special. Overall, a fantastic experience. We’d absolutely stay here again. We highly recommend it to anyone traveling with pets or just looking for a clean, charming, and welcoming place to unwind in a peaceful and private setting. And, if you love to hike we took the hosts guidebook recommendation and went to Porter’s Creek!

This was definitely one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at. It was absolutely so cute, and the hosts were so thoughtful and sweet thank you so much for the Coca-Cola, I really enjoyed it! The place is very secluded and quiet, and I got the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. I would absolutely come back. Thank you so much!

5 STARS!! We loved this place! The location was perfect, the place was very clean, and even had some welcome refreshments and snacks! Our group agreed we would 100% stay here again! It was kind of the perfect size. It was big enough to not feel crowded, but small enough to feel cozy! You are within 20 minutes of the Island, and the main drag. You could stick to back roads to get around, or even pop right over to the main road. We hope to stay here again! 10/10 would recommend!

OMG this place was amazing. It was so nice and clean.The decor was so beautifully decorated with bears and coke signs everywhere. The special birthday sign for my husband was so special. It had everything in the kitchen and bathrooms. If you happened to forget something, I’m sure Michelle had thought of it for you. It is the best Airbnb we have stayed. My grandson and my husband are still asking when we can go back again. Please check this place out if planning a trip to Servile Tn.

A great value in an area that tends to be expensive! Rustic and simple but very clean and comfortable. I loved how they didnt just ALLOW my dog but welcomed her! In a Quiet area which was great to come home to after days spent with crowds.

Loved this stay! We booked super last minute due to an issue with the place we were supposed to stay - they had it ready for us within 20 minutes. But even besides that we loved the house. It was one of the best stocked places we have ever stayed and it was so cute. The water is within walking distance and it was beautiful! It’s very much what you picture when you think of a mountain cabin. You’re also about 20 mins from anything in pigeon forge or sevierville so it’s well located and a bit off from all the traffic. Would definitely stay again.

This cabin not only checked all the boxes it added new ones! From the personalized welcome sign on the rocking chair porch to the moon pies and candies on the table to the cokes, waters, and milk in the fridge plus a variety of coffees and teas...it was amazing! The cabin looked and smelled fresh and clean. The sofa and chairs were comfy as were the beds. There were plenty of extra pillows and blankets, too. (Even a box fan!) The location was beautiful and peaceful. The steep hill to the water is more than worth the effort, and there's a sturdy handrail to hold on to. We can't wait to come back!
