Upon arriving we were greeted by Eva, the friendly neighbor cat who came and said hi to us on the back balcony. Followed by a very nice convo with Ed - when he explained to us the best things to see in Great Smoky National park. Having these recommendations saved us lots of time the next day. We only wish we had more time...

Your porch is literally right next to the walkway with no privacy if not. Would recommend staying here if you plan on going to Cherokee or the casino and...
