Little House in the Smokies

JosephRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This tiny home was nicely settled into the property and beautifully landscaped including an attractive Mountain Laurel pergola over the fire pit. Everything was clean and neat and thoughtful extras were provided (snacks, coffee, condiments and spices). The beds were comfortable. We loved how the many windows in this home let the outside in and frankly, this spot is really about the beauty of the outside. Combine all that with nice outdoor string lights on the covered porch and pergola, and you have a "I just want to sit in the woods and take it all in" feeling. This place has wide porches and lots of places to hang out outside. It was also very quiet, which we loved. Nice tiny home community where the homes are not on top of each other.

The Hideout: Mountaintop Retreat w/ Views

Michelle KRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The stay was lovely. It was a long drive up a gravel road. It was beautiful. It would have been easy to get lost. Which we drove around a few times when leaving for food. Definitely wouldn’t want to drive that road after dark. Room was clean and had an excellent shower. Susan sent messages to let us know if we needed anything to let her know. All in all, great stay and would recommend.
