Customer service is top notch!

Absolutely beautiful property and the owners are always there when you need them.I would definitely book this cabin again if it wasnt for the drive way. Its literally life or death in my opinion. I went up two other drive ways next door and my car made it up fine. But this cabins drive way has a weird cruve which makes it difficult. Especially if its raining. If you let go of the gas youre going off the cliff. You definitely need an all wheel drive or a newer, more powerful vehicle. All 3 drivers who drove up this drive way were scared. There is space to fix this drive way. Maybe make the cruve larger so its not as sharp. Over all we enjoyed our stay other than the panic of the drive way.

The Perfect Escape!"

What an incredible getaway! This place offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience—peaceful and surrounded by natural beauty, yet just close enough to all the action to keep your adventures alive. If you're looking to truly unplug and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I can't recommend it enough.

Highly Recommend!

This cozy cabin is tucked far enough away to escape the noise and rush of everyday life but still close enough to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Wake up to the sounds of nature, breathe in the fresh air, and take in the beauty that surrounds you. Whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or just enjoy a quiet moment, this is the perfect place to slow down and reconnect with what matters most.

It was wonderful!

It’s a beautiful place to stay. The driveway is steep . It would have been nice to have the steps closer to where you park. My girls had to carry everything in since I’m not able. They definitely enjoyed the hot tub. Thank you for making it so homey!

Easy, clean, peaceful stay for family of 5

For our 4 adults and one toddler, there was plenty of space, and the cabin was safe for our little boy. Location is nice environmentally. It is a timely drive from popular attractions if it’s crowded, so traffic can be lengthy, as expected. Only downsides are minuscule issues like DVD player not ejecting or outside decorative string lights not working properly, no effect on the overall experience, which was very pleasant. Communication was great. Would definitely recommend this stay.

We had a very relaxing time. This cabin has All the amenities you could want. The water pressure is better than our own home. Super Clean. The towels were even folded like you're staying in a High Class Hotel. Owners were easy to communicate with. I think they thought of everything you could possibly need. Love the big deck. QUITE AND PEACEFUL.  You are literally In the Mountains.  Thank you!!

I cannot say it enough that these hosts were perfect and I hope our paths can cross again in the future!

The hosts were absolutely amazing with communication and flexibility. We were in a situation where our planned Airbnb did not work out after an 11 hour drive - we reached out to Stacia & Larry and they responded very quickly and got us into their place. They were very upfront with the steep driveway before we arrived (we and our vehicle were still not prepared for the mountain driveways).  The brief time we spent on the property was beautiful and peaceful.

Weekend getaway to the mountains

Got online to find a mountain cabin for a nice weekend away. I found over the mountain cabin rentals. What got me the most was the great price. We had 2 couples that was sharing this cabin and our friends were really surprised over the price. We arrived Friday afternoon and went to the cabin to check the surroundings. Anyone that is going to rent this cabin please be aware of the steep driveway to it. Once inside, OMG! back woods living. We didn't leave the cabin until the our check out time on Monday. Everything was perfect from the equipped kitchen to the Hot Tub. Everything was very clean as well. We found everything to work well. The big experience was using the hot tub, that made the weekend. We will share a lot of fond memories from this past weekend. I strongly recommend these cabins to anyone wanting to escape to the back woods and wanting a quiet and peaceful weekend. I did want share the most enjoyable part was sitting on the front pouch with a cup of coffee and listening just to the wind go though the trees.  Very peaceful! Thanks again to Stacia and Larry for providing such a great place to getaway too.

Lovely secluded cabin

A very clean, lovely cabin, nice layout, and beautiful views from the long front deck. The cabin is very secluded and quiet. The hot tub and fire pit made our stay that much more relaxing. Larry was there when we needed him. He was kind, caring and very accomodating. We loved everything about our stay there. We went to the Titanic museum, rocky mountain coaster, Dolly Parton Stampede dinner 1st night of Christmas show,, and 2 of the national parks and Clingmans Dome.

Weekend getaway

Me & my husband decided on a wim to go out of town, & last year we came for our honeymoon & just loved it. This year we brought our 1 year old son & 10 year old niece & had such a good time. We did pirates voyage, aquarium, Soaky mountain waterpark, mountain coasters& went to the island. We fit it all in 2 days somehow but we enjoyed every minute! We absolutely all loved the house, it was super clean & well maintained, the hot tub & game table was a hit for the 10 year old & the one level was super helpful having a toddler running around. Definitely will come back and/or book with these people again!

Relaxing Getaway

The Parkway is full of people and things to do. It's great to find a good spot to reside in the peaceful quiet areas of the Smoky's. Relaxing porch, hot tub, and living space. The owners are VERY communicative and helpful. We checked in and out with no issues at all. The driveway up to the place is a legitimate conversation piece. Very steep including a hairpin turn. We had the right vehicle for this situation. 4 wheel drive and downward brake control made it very manageable. When we come back to the Smoky's, we'll definitely check out this place again, if available.

Pleasant little cabin

I very much enjoyed our stay at “Easy Livin’”. It was a quaint little cabin with lots of room to enjoy and close to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. My only complaint would be the very steep driveway but given that the weather was good I had very little trouble getting up and down the hill. I think if there were snow or rain we would have had to walk up and down the driveway. Stacia was very attentive though, after noticing there was no scissors, cutting board or baking sheet she had DoorDashed them to my front door within half an hour! I’d call that phenomenal customer service! Very clean place and the hot tub was wonderful! I’d definitely recommend this place to friends and family!

Great spot for a short getaway

My husband and I along with our friends stayed for a short time. The cabin was beautiful and looked just like the pictures. As mentioned by the property listing and in other reviews, be prepared for a very, very steep driveway. My Subaru Crosstrek made it up without issue, but I believe an all-wheel drive vehicle is required to ensure you get up safely. The hot tub was clean and working perfectly. The only downside we found was the odd assortment of kitchen supplies when we tried to make homemade dinners; we ended buying a cheap frying pan and leaving it there to make cooking easier. The crockpot at the cabin definitely came in handy due to the lack of baking pans/dishes. The cabin is down a secluded, one lane road, so be prepared for some country driving (it wasn’t bad at all and the roads are in good condition). The location was great; it was secluded enough to give privacy and a true cabin experience without being too far from grocery stores, attractions, and the national park. Check in and check out were easy and the property managers were easy to reach and very responsive. Overall, I absolutely recommend this location and would stay here again in the future.

Had a great time!

Loved the cabin! My fiance and I stayed for four days and this was one of the better cabins we have stayed in in the Gatlingburg/Pigeon Forge area. The only issue is the driveway is a bit of a challenge but still doable. Will definitely check the cabin back in the future!
