Plan an evening of star gazing from the hot tub. The stars are quite beautiful in the mountains and enjoying them while relaxing in the hot tub is quintessential bliss.

Build a fire at twilight in the natural stone fire pit, and enjoy the crackling sounds, the evening lightening bugs and the smell of roasted hot dogs. Afterwards, enjoy some roasted marshmallows for the perfect dessert.

The deck area features a table for 2, perfect for a romantic meal next to the creek. You never know what wildlife you might spy in the woodland area surrounding the cabin – bobcats, black bears, deer, wild turkeys, fox, or pileated wood peckers. Bobcats, bears, and turkeys - oh my!

Emotional Support Animals: Per official ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidance, emotional support animals (ESAs) are not covered by federal public accommodations laws. We do not accept emotional support animals in non-pet friendly cabins since these animals are not protected by any applicable federal, state, or local laws or regulations regarding short term lodging in Tennessee. Renters with emotional support animals may only bring their ESA with them if they are staying in a pet friendly cabin and pay the relevant $75.00 non-refundable pet fee. Renters with service animals for a disability are explicitly protected under both federal and state law. The ADA defines service animals as dogs that have been “trained to perform a task directly related to a person’s disability.” Service animals are explicitly protected under both state and federal law, and, as such, are welcome in any of our cabins.
