We rented this cabin because I'm not fond of roughing it and tent camping. I thought this would be a bit better since we could still enjoy the woods and campfire right outside but have a place inside to sleep. Although inside the cabin seemed to be pretty clean, there was an over abundance of "stink bugs"! Also, the hot tub didn't heat up until the next day, sobwe weren'table to enjoy that at all. The best part of the area was the running stream right outside our door! Pretty.

This tiny home is a perfect getaway! Looks exactly like photos. Tucked away at quiet campground, which is sufficient in itself, but it’s also close to some overlooks on the foothills parkway and 30 min or so from Great Smokies main entrances, Gatlinburg and other attractions. Will was responsive. Definitely recommend booking! :)

Sasquacht's Den
Affordable. Great view of the little waterfall in front of the cabins, didn’t get a chance to enjoy the hot tub due to it not warming up properly. Tried it all day. Really disappointed in that feature because it’s what we wanted the most. The cabin had everything in there that was needed. Also, owner wasn’t responding back to my questions. Kind of hard to reach.

There is a beautiful, large creek right outside your back door. The tiny home is also really enjoyable. It is perfect for two people and one big doggo. It comes with a kitchen full of cookware. The bathroom was very nice, though you can't flush toilet paper.
Some downsides: Communication was limited. I tried to find out what 'no cookware' meant and got a short answer that did not give me specifics. The answer I got was that there was everything two people needed, but since the listing says there was no cookware, I wanted to confirm that there were pots, pans, and dishes. I asked three more times to confirm there were pots, pans, and dishes but got no response. So we drove 4 hours with a full kitchen to find out there were pots, pans, dishes, and a nice coffee machine. They also sent me a message that changed the check-in/check-out times from 2 pm to 4 pm and 12 pm to 10 am when we were about an hour away. We asked if we could check out at noon like it said on the listing and were told that was fine. Then, we got yelled at by the cleaning lady when we were still there at 11 am.
The tiny houses are very, very close together. The pictures do not show how close you are to your neighbor.
The highway behind you is very loud, even at night, and there isn't a lot of space for walking around the property.
It was lovely to swim in the cold creek. There were plenty of places for a full plunge. The trout were jumping beautifully, and the hot tub was really nice at night.

It was a really cozy spot. How it was nestled right by the running creek. The only things I'd build upon would be that the main light did not work. The hot tub was not covered properly, so when we went to get in, it was 80°; it didn't heat up until three next morning. Another thing was that the mini fridge wasn't cold either. Lastly, I received an email from the host on checkout morning that we checked out 2hrs late; the Host sent an email when we checked in that checkout is 10am, but this app said checkout is "sometime before 12",

Wonderful stay! Bedding and towels provided, a full bathroom (small but it’s in there!) towels were replenished the next day which was super nice. A space heater, AC unit and mini fridge also inside. TV with Amazon prime and other options, but the icing on the creek is the personal hot tub. This was just perfect for going into the Smokey mtns and Gatlinburg. The sound of the creek was lovely just enough lights to see at night while in the hot tub. Would definitely stay again and there are other units with larger person capacities available.

We were able to have a relaxing place to stay after hiking all day while still feeling like we were having the "camping" experience. Can hear the road, however not loud enough to keep you away or be disturbing. All in all a great time.

We had a great time! The bath house is very nice. The host was great and answered any questions we had. The community shelter was a great place to make dinner and sit by the falls! We hope to be back!

Amazing site. I tent camped there and I wish I could have stayed longer. Clear water creek 20 ft from your site thar you wade or relax in. Both 50 amp and 30 amp electric, water and drain all right there. It was so peaceful . Highly recommend. There is a road there but it's not bad as far as noise.

The facilities are great. Each cabin is unique and well constructed. The only issue is the noise from the road. The property is set off not more than 30 feet from Hwy 321. The traffic is constant and since it's the country, many vehicles have non-functional mufflers ;). I stayed at the Wagon Wheel cabin which since it's basically a shed construction has minimal sound insulation. The AC helped to muffle the road noise, and a set of good ear plugs helped me to sleep. The bath house was clean, but I was the only one using it during my stay. Can't beat the location so close to so many hiking trails in the GSMNP as well as local restaurants, and that was a big draw for me. I would definitely come back but probably try one of the other cabins.

RV SITE NUMBER 1 or Tent Site
The site was right beside a really nice Creek as advertised but just as close to a very busy road. We have a teardrop with tent attached so we’re outside a lot. Another problem for us was a mosquito infestation. This wasn’t the typical mosquitoes we’ve experienced, they were swarms of hundreds. Finally, the bath house, which is a single-person space, wouldn’t lock and the host said it didn’t matter since we were the only campers. We don’t know how it might have turned, we left and went to another Hipcamp site.

Great place right on the creek. Amazing scenery and all the amenities you could ask for are on site or close by.

Nice and affordable campground. Very clean and organized. Communal pavilion in the center. A little close to the road but has a nice creek behind every site. 30 minute drive to Gatlinburg. Would definitely recommend!

My stay here was awesome. The river running beside the site was very peaceful and helped drowned out the sound of the road. The host was very personable and welcoming. I was a solo traveler and he made me feel very safe. Would stay here again!

Great little place to stay for a day or two. We popped in for one night and had a great time. There were fire rings at every site and it was right on the creek. There was a pool table, grill, and even a fridge outside for community use. The people that were running the site slept at the end and were super nice and helpful. We stayed in the Wagon by the Waterfall. It was small, but just big enough for two people to stay comfortably. We will definitely stay at this place again in the future.
