Welcome to our authentic log cabin. We are proud to offer a very clean and well equipped cabin for our guests. The cabin was built with logs that had been harvested from the property. The private road brings you through our gate, to the large open areas around the lodge. There has been a couple of folks complain about the driveway. I wanted to leave you his quote and tell you what the pastor said. after checkout. This church group comes twice a year with their groups. The pastor of the church wrote.................... "Communication with the owners, was well above average. We had no problems, with the driveway as usual, as we just drove slow, during that last one hundred feet We have already booked two seperate dates again , for this winter."

There is plenty of parking for up to 10 cars. The kids can explore our property, climb on the play structure or huge assortment of LARGE boulders. They can be climbed or jumped between. We highly recommend, visiting the baby deer sanctuary. It is just a short 10 minute walk from our cabin. The caretakers are always happy to let you interact with the deer or raccoons in their natural setting. Sometimes the deer wander up to our cabin for a visit. Many of the guests have said, their visit to the deer sanctuary, was an unbelievable visit. The South Toe River which is about a mile away, as the crow flies, or about 10 minutes in the car. It is a gentle river perfect for fishing, tubing, or a peaceful rafting trip for as long as you would like. There are many grassy places to pull ashore if anyone gets tired. The cell service is pretty good through most of that area of the river. That makes it easy to have someone pick you up when you have had a full day. I have been told by the "locals" that the river can be taken all the way into South East TN. after joining with the Nolichuckey River.

Some of our guests have decided to bring their own RV for additional sleeping purposes. We are always flexible and strive to make your event, exactly what you have planned. We understand the tremendous amount of planning, that goes into getting everyone's schedule in sync. Coordinating the dates, location and pricing for 50 to 60 groups a YEAR. WE ENJOY SPEAKING WITH EACH LEADER, RESPONSIBLE FOR ORGANIZING. WE HAVE FOUND THAT ABOUT 85% OF OUR BOOKINGS ARE FOR FAMILY REUNIONS OR RETREATS OF SOME TYPE. WE OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR OUR ACTIVE OR RETIRED MILITARY, AS WELL AS ANY CHURCH AFFILIATED GROUPS. MANY OF OUR GROUPS RETURN YEAR AFTER YEAR FOR THEIR TIME TOGETHER. WE ARE HAPPY TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR EVENT, EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS. WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP EACH GROUP PERSONALIZE THEIR STAY WITH US. (TALK TO US ABOUT YOUR BUDGET) We do not like to turn anyone away, especially a church group, because of a tight budget. Email us and we are happy to work with you.

There is a very large surrounding property. It is a great boundary that does not allow folks to be close to our cabin. You have to go and stand at the edge of our property, in order to see another cabin from our place.

Enjoy the spaciousness of this 4500 square foot, 8 bedroom, 7 bath cabin that was recently remodeled. The lodge’s interior features huge, vaulted, log beam ceilings. The Lodge was professionally decorated, in a 'Mountain Lodge' and 'Americana' theme. There are many antiques and era replica pieces. Relax in an authentic log cabin, that was custom built with timbers harvested from this homestead property. The lodge has a rustic atmosphere, but includes all the modern conveniences and amenities you would expect in a new custom home. We do our best to keep the lodge dust free and disinfect everything before a new group arrives.

Three of the eight bedrooms are Master suites, with their own private master baths. They all have a jetted Jacuzzi tub and over sized tile showers. Five of the seven other bedrooms, have a full bathroom with custom tile showers located adjacent to them. All of the bedrooms have authentic log beds including 1 king, 6 queens 1 double , 3 convertible sofas, 4 twin beds. We also have 7 twin mattresses with linens that can be moved from room to room as needed. We recently added 2 additional roll-w-way twin beds and a queen size air mattress.

We also have very high quality bed linens and towels, that are provided and are unique to each room.

From the fire pit you have a great view, that over looks the mountain ranges. There is also a large wooden play set for the kids entertainment as well as huge boulders for the kids who love to climb and explore. We are 15 mins to town, but remote enough to enjoy the densely wooded outdoors. (There are guide books @ the cabin with numerous additional area trails and waterfalls to visit and hike)
