My wife, son, and myself rented this cabin Sept. 27, 2008 thru Sept. 29, 2008. We were not disappointed for a moment. Robert and Juletta Quarles, the owners, epitomized the meaning of good host, going above and beyond to make our stay at their cabin, and visit to the Smokies, the best possible.
The cabin furnishings and decorating are superb. We were at a loss for nothing.
From the beginning of their ownership they started something very unique, a cabin journal, where not only they have made entries but guest are invited to make their own. The entries are informative, humorous, and touching. A must read.
We would recommend this cabin to anyone interested in enjoying themselves in the Smokies. |

I researched many properties before finally settling on this cabin and was extremely pleased that the description accurately matched what we experienced.
This cabin is beautifully decorated, well-maintained and had everything we needed for a home away from home.
We did experience an issue with the hot tub (turned out it was our inexperience with hot tubs and really not an issue at all) and the upstairs TV, but we were able to easily contact the owners and they resolved the issues quickly.
My family and I have visited the Smokies many times before and love the area. We did what we usually do when visiting, which is shopping and touring Gatlinburg, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Cherokee, NC.
We happened to stumble upon The Mountain Farm Museum, which is an open-air exhibit of historic farm buildings at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center near Cherokee. This pioneer farmstead was a real treat to explore and we would highly recommend it to anyone who visits the area.
We love to hike and there are some beautiful trails in the the area, but the weather was just too hot. So, when we weren't out searching for air conditioned sites to explore, we stayed at the cabin and relished the quiet and peaceful surroundings. I especially enjoyed watching the squirrels each morning as they scurried up and down the bird feeder and across the railings on the deck.
This cabin was perfect and we would recommend it to any of our friends. We look forward to returning and hope that the weather will be nice enough for us to hike and explore more of the area around the cabin.

We really enjoyed our vacation in the mountains. The cabin was beautifully decorated and very clean. We enjoyed having the extra space because we took our 11-month old son with us. It was great to have a full kitchen and an extra bedroom. After our son was down for the night, my husband and I enjoyed sitting on the screened in deck to play cards or just relaxing in the hot tub.
The location of the cabin was amazing. We didn't realize that we would be that far up in the mountains. The views we saw as we drove in and out of the housing development were beautiful. It was an extremely peaceful and relaxing location--exactly what we needed.
Several of the highlights of our trip include: biking around Cades Cove in the national park, seeing a mamma bear and three cubs while driving in the park, shopping in the arts and crafts district in Gatlinburg, eating at several great restaurants, visiting the aquarium, and taking in all the great mountain views.
The cabin was about a 30 drive from Gatlinburg, but we enjoyed being away from all the busyness and people. (Gatlinburg is definitely a tourist town.) It is very close to the national park, which we enjoyed. We would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to have a relaxing vacation in the mountains.

Wonderful first trip to the Smoky Mnts - couldn't have chosen a more perfect place to stay. Great location - secluded, yet close enough to be in the Park w/in a few minutes. The cabin was very well equipped and extremely comfortable. Wonderful owners - very helpful with suggestions to make your mountain adventure a success. Will definitely return for another visit.

This was our first time ever in TN. We dreamed about renting a log cabin in the mountains far away from the noisy town. And our dreams came true! We will definitely be back soon!

| We had a super enjoyable and relaxing stay at the cabin. The short cut to the National Park Made it very convenient. The screened in porch actually made it possible to spend a great deal of time on the deck without having to worry about the bugs. We can't wait to return. |

| I don't know if we could have found a better place to spend Spring break! Beautiful, tranquil, mountaintop surroundings, with all the creature comforts of home. Leave your cellphone behind. |

We rented your cabin this past weekend and just loved it. You have a beautiful cabin with everything anyone would need for a great vacation. The screened in porch was a great addition. It rained most of the weekend but no one mined. We just relaxed on the back porch and watched. Thanks again for the use of the cabin and being so responsive to my request
