We really enjoyed our stay at the Tail of the Dragon cabin! The cabin itself was great—clean, cozy, and very comfortable. The beds were especially comfortable, which we appreciated after long days. The hosts were lovely and made us feel very welcome. Everything about our stay was easy and enjoyable. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!

My two teenagers, my husband and I stayed here so we could be close to The Tail of the Dragon for the week. The location was perfect for that. The cabin was the perfect size for us, the host was super friendly, and having some groceries in the fridge when we arrived was super helpful and appreciated. Highly recommend this cabin!

There were three adults in our party and we stayed four nights. We came to the area to ride The Tail of The Dragon. This property is in a great location with easy access o TOTD. We had plenty of room for a large truck and a 12’ trailer and also use of the garage to put our bikes away at night. It is in a fairly secluded and very quiet location on the TN side of the Dragon. You will also see wildlife roaming the property. We saw turkey and deer. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed in kitchen and bath. Also the checkin and checkout process were both very simple.We appreciated the host checking on us the first morning we were there. All in all I’d say I would come right back if in that area again.

It was a little confusing finding the Vrbo. As we followed the gps directions we only seen a gate that had house #123. However, we continued pass the gate. There was a big house and what looked like a garage from the side. The numbers on the side of the garage were easy to over look. It would be very helpful if the numbers were on the gate too so that people would not feel like they were trust passing. I feel that the description on Vrbo should clarify that the bedrooms are not very private. So if you are looking for privacy I would not recommend this cabin. The host was very friendly and answered our questions immediately. We enjoyed the fresh eggs, bacon, milk, butter, water bottles, and Little Debbie blueberry muffins. Over all I would stay there again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin. It was spotless, beautifully maintained, and you can tell the owners put so much care into every little detail. They truly thought of everything you could possibly need, which made the whole trip feel easy and comfortable.We ended up in a bit of a predicament during our stay, and the hosts went way above and beyond to help us. They didn’t hesitate for a second; they were kind, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us. You don’t always find that kind of kindness when traveling, and it honestly meant so much to us.The cabin itself was peaceful, cozy, and perfect for unwinding. Between the thoughtful touches and the incredible hospitality, this was one of the best experiences we’ve had. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-cared-for getaway.
