We had a daughter graduating form UT so we stayed with family in the cabin for a long weekend. This cabin is about 35-40 minutes from UT. Was perfect to get away from the chaos of Knoxville that weekend and be close to attractions and dining in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Hosts were super responsive and the place was very clean. The bedroom and bathroom arrangements were perfect to give everyone their own space and privacy while the common areas perfect for everyone to gather. Had a very fun long weekend stay. We will return and would recommend this cabin for a nice family/friends getaway! Few pics of how we decorated for the graduation events.
