Great cabin tucked away but a very short 10 minute drive to the downtown local shops and Harrah’s Resort and Casino. Beautiful interior and space for a small family. Getting in and out the jetted tub on the main level requires caution. The beds throughout the cabin were amazing comfortable and great for my back. The hammock on the front porch accompanied by the wind chimes were perfect for relaxing outdoors. An enjoyable experience and super accommodating host. We extended our stay for my Birthday!

We really enjoyed our stay. The decorated Christmas was a very lovely touch as we stayed a week before Christmas. The location of cabin only 15 mins away from the small towns and some hikes. Which is great when traveling with 3 toddles.

Our train loving kids had the time of their life staying at the Caboose! We went for the Polar Express and we loved that it’s close enough to GSMR train station that you can see the smoke from the steam engine and hear the whistle from inside the caboose. I was concerned that it may be cold, but it was very cozy and comfortable. The air was quick to heat up and the hot water was immediate and plentiful. Definitely a worthwhile experience!

I CANNOT say enough how pleased we were with our stay. We were able to check in to make it in time to our friends rehearsal dinner. Gavin was so accommodating and the space was breathtaking. The view from the deck was incredible and the space itself felt homey and cozy. We were absolutely blown away with our stay and should we ever come back to the great Smokey mountains we will absolutely be staying again. I wish I could give 10 stars. The perfect getaway from our kids to have some time together in a beautiful space.

Brenda was a fantastic host, and the property was exactly as advertised. It was easy to find, had minimal neighbors, and was conveniently close to town. The home was very clean, including the linens and beds, and everything was well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place.

Brenda was a wonderful host and super responsive. We booked this location for the Polar Express experience for our daughter which was something magical by itself. But as our daughter said when we walked into this beautiful cabin, am I in a fantasy. It was clean, very spacious, quiet, and seclusive. Like I said Brenda was super responsive straight from the get go. We highly recommend this stay and we look forward to possibly staying in some of her other properties!

Cute and cozy place to stay for a weekend getaway. It’s close to Cherokee & Great Smokey Mountain National Park! We’d love to stay here again if we’re in the area.

We stayed at Brenda’s for four days. We were going on the Polar Express! We almost paid the same rate for a run down motel room two years ago. This cabin is so nice and peaceful. She is a wonderful host. A bonus we thought was they have a game area for grandkids to play. Also, games for adults.

This place was exactly what we wanted. Quiet, cozy, and tidy! We enjoyed the central location to both Cherokee and Bryson City. When we come back, this will be a top option for us!
