Three adult women for a girl trip… lots of nature, the flowing river was our favorite part-took chairs to the outside covered area and basically stayed there under the fans with coffee or beer or wine depending on the time! No noise other than the low ripple of the river. The inside was lightly decorated in mountain decor and the space was comfortable. We all said we’d like to return together or with family. Great small space… bring your coffee the pot is waiting for you!

This was the relief from a baseball tournament that we needed. Super quiet and made it easy to relax. Wish we had more time to play in the river, do some grilling, and maybe have a fire! Regardless, when we play ball in Maryville this will be our go-to place to stay!!

Great lil stay! In a good location
The place is in a quiet neighborhood, the view of the little river is beautiful, and easy location to visit west side of the Smokey National park. The house is modest but clean, and the kitchen is surprisingly well stocked. The tvs are good and lastly the outdoor porch and set up is awesome!

Yes, they made us feel welcome. They had nice amenities. Only thing we thought was that they need to take new pics. The pics make it look better then was. The pavilion was dirty with stuff all over. The porch looked like it hadn’t been swept for days. Other than that we had a nice time. Thank you!

The host was personable and responded to correspondence quickly. The property itself needs work. There is no available space to store clothing or food, making the living arrangements very cramped. The furniture consists of hard fast food restaurant style chairs and a broken and very dirty couch - nothing comfortable to sit on. The beds are comfortable. The floor throughout the unit is very weak and gives when walked on - especially in the bathroom. No one wants to feel like they are about to fall through.The location, along the river is very nice, but access to the water is treacherous - nothing that children or anyone over 40 should attempt alone. The bathhouse was dirty and musty - but the pavilion overlooking the river was nice.The property could be great with a bit of furniture and some basic repairs, but in its present condition it is not worth the price.

It was very nice place, a beautiful crate to look at at. We were able to rest out on the porch. Listen to the sounds of the creatures and animals. And of course the beautiful sound of the water. I would love to come back again at another visit.Tjank you

Great spot!
The only reason I'm giving this place a less than perfect review is because there were dirty. I mentioned them to the owner, who assured me that it would be resolved for future guests.
This house is great, on a beautiful property! We really enjoyed the outdoor pavilion and swimming in the river.
It's about a half hour to Cades Cove, where we saw a few bears!
I definitely recommend this spot.

This place could have been a more enjoyable experience had the owner provided steps down to the water. The picture of the river and bank is misleading. In pic, it looks like it’s easy to get to water;however, the bank of river is covered in big randomly placed rock that anybody could easily break an ankle. My dad and step mom got to where they didn’t want to go down to river anymore due to the obstacle course to get to it and get back up. I feel if that’s your main selling feature, there also needs to be safety features as well (like flagstone steps, or even a better arrangement of the current rocks) and be fully transparent on the accessibility of getting to water, not pictures that make it look like it’s easy to make it to the water, so that was disappointing. The water itself is great. Shallow enough for littles but also some deeper spots to wade in some The detached patio is nice with the grill and seating with view of water. I did ask a couple of questions which were ignored. I did love that it’s pet friendly, and the view of the river was great. Also, shower had great pressure and great hot water. location to grocery store and gas station is great as well. The accessibility to the water needs to be worked on.
