Owner

English
Hello everyone, my name is Tanya. I'm a married mother of 4 (3 girls and 1 boy ages 17, 14, 12 and 10) . We absolutely love the Great Smoky Mountains, mother nature and tons of activities for the whole family. We love the area so much that in August of 2020 our family decided to purchase our first vacation home. We wanted a cabin large and luxurious enough for me and my family plus if we wanted to vacation with other friends and family. We hope you enjoy our brand new cabin as much as our family has. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
