This cabin was perfect for our weekend trip to the Great Smoky Mountains! The hot tub was super relaxing after a day of hiking and the bedrooms were perfect for the group of people we had. Not a negative but keep in mind that they don’t provide much in terms of amenities. We were informed about bringing our own shampoo/body wash, laundry detergent for the provided machines, and that they only provide one towel per guest. We made it work just fine and they gave plenty of advance warning for us to be able to pack those items! We would definitely stay again if back in the Gatlinburg area!
Response from Cabins for You
So glad to hear the cabin fit your Smoky Mountains getaway so perfectly and that the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a full day of hiking. We truly appreciate you mentioning the amenities in such a kind way, and we’re glad the advance information helped your group prepare comfortably for the stay. It means a lot that you’d choose us again when visiting Gatlinburg, and we genuinely loved hosting you. We hope to have you back soon thank you
