Häuschen in den Smoky Mountains am Bach mit Veranda und Blick in den Wald

Nice secluded house. Peaceful with no neighbors.

The host was very nice! The place was nice!

Beautiful forest surroundings abound, 25 minute drive to town one way overall good location. Exceptional location for access to gem mines and fishing. Clean and comfortable furniture and beds. Lacked significant pantry essentials compared to other cabins in which we have stayed. No cooking sprays, oils, spices, absolutely nothing of that standard fare. There were no drinking glasses, plenty of dishware but oddly no glassware or even solo cups. Keep in mind in it a 45 minute curvy round trip and some expectations for supplies were simply very different from any other rental home we have ever had. Lastly there were no trash bags even though the departing instructions required us to dispose of the trash at a specific location many miles away or face extra charges. We could not understand this, not only was that very unusual but our checkout day was Sunday and the facility to accept trash was closed. There is no rural garbage pickup, and we understand that, but the cleaning and trash pickup should be addressed by the host with the bagged trashed properly placed where they can take it. It was a burden after checkout given the closure of the drop-off facility for us as we are trying to leave. Check out is 10 am so they time to clean and take the trash with them. With such a spectacular place, the lack of attention to detail distracts from the amazing experience one can have at Cardinal Cottage.

It was a lovely house that me and my family stayed in. Loved the decor and space that it provided. Especially loved the little running creak right outside the house. Overall great place to stay.

Very comfortable cabin. We absolutely loved sitting on the screen porch listening to the creek.
