Beautiful tiny home, plenty of room for our family of 4. Very clean and cozy. Loved the outdoor setting and firepit. The view is very nice of the river. We… read more parked by the beach area across the street and enjoyed spending time in the water! Very enjoyable experience.

Amazing little place to stay to cap off a trip to Gatlinburg. Away from town so peaceful and great property. Extremely clean and wonderful place with a great view and… read more relaxing atmosphere.

Wonderful place in a beautiful location. It might be a “tiny” house, but it has plenty of room and is super comfortable. There’s no wifi, but there’s so much to… read more do around the area, you won’t miss it, including on the property itself. It’s super close to the road and highway, but you can barely hear it.
Overall an excellent way to unplug and immerse yourself in nature while also being convenient and connected to popular attractions in the area. I will definitely book with Leslie and Karl again!

Leslie and Karl’s place was the perfect little spot for a weekend getaway with our pups. It was nice being a short drive from the national park, but far enough… read more away from the touristy areas to have plenty of peace and quiet. The grill, outdoor seating area, and firepit overlooking the river during the evenings was the perfect way to end the day.

This was the worst experience we have ever had with a host on Airbnb. The listing showed “waterfront property,” but this property is next to a busy road with no… read more access to the river unless we drove 3/4 of a mile down the road. There was no safe or clear way to get there on foot. In the Neighborhood Highlights, they mentioned you do not need to leave the property to access “the beach,” which is completely false. They did not disclose that their part of the property with “lake access” was down the road until after our check-in, so it was too late for us to change our minds or receive a refund. The “beach area” they referred to has a dilapidated picnic table on an unkempt small area next to the river, nowhere close to the property. They also listed this as a “verified” location, which was completely false. It showed as being next to the river, but was on the other side of the busy road. I had to report this to Airbnb, and the host was unresponsive after a few messages and denied a refund.

The place is very nice and private.
Leslie & Karl responded promptly, however even though we arrived a little earlier, the place was not clean and organized, we had… read more to message them and it took two hours for the place to be ready. We understood that it was the holidays but we were unable to enter the space.
Also we found some bugs inside of the space like ladybugs but also small roaches.
Overall the space was nice and we enjoyed our stay.

Although we just stayed 1 night ,we thoroughly enjoyed the tiny home/cottage. It was spotlessly clean,and had everything we needed including linens,towels washclothes and even a nice Kuerig coffee maker,complete… read more with coffee,condiments and creamer. The cottage was beautiful and looked new. All furnishings appeared new,and the heat/A/C systems worked flawlessly. These fine folks have gone above and beyond to make the guests feel warm and welcome, decorating better than allot of 4 star + places we have stayed. It is peaceful and a snap to get to from interstate 40,unlike allot of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge rentals that are a bear to find and offer little to no decent parking. All-in-all, we absolutely adored our stay at Leslie and Karl’s cottage and plan to return soon ! Steve and Penny Cross,Duncan,OK

Over all we really enjoyed our stay, it was our first time in a tiny home! We know it’s a pet friendly rental, however there was too much pet… read more hair everywhere. there was also a lot ladybugs and stink bugs inside the home when we arrived and during our stay, we know it’s cold and they look for warm places, which was no problem with my husband and I, our son didn’t approve of them though. Lol
Besides that, we HIGHLY recommend this tiny home, it’s located within a convenient distance from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The view of the river is a plus and the sound of it at night is soothing! If you come across this listing don’t pass it up as we know you’ll enjoy it!

What a beautiful tiny house! My first stay in one and I truly enjoyed it. The location wasn’t ideal; the interstate was within sight thru the woods… read more and the traffic noise detracted from the outdoor experience. The nearest town was not a tourist destination and rather run down. However, still a lovely experience overall.

This little house was absolutely adorable, my son (8) and I stayed here for 2 nights and he loved it. He loved the little room above the main room. He… read more loved the surrounding area and the fire pit although we did not have a fire. The river was peaceful and pretty to look at while drinking morning coffee. I really liked how it was only a 30-40 minute ride to all the attractions. The only downside to this tiny house was that the curtains were not thick enough. I know it was a private property and away from a lot of houses but I still felt uncomfortable changing in the room due to the curtains being see through. Other than that this house was so perfect and cozy and comfortable.

Incredible place to stay! Leslie and Karl were very responsive and the location is beautiful! Couldn’t have asked for a better host. We will be back! The home was super… read more clean, organized, and had all the essentials. The only thing is home didn’t have was a frying pan… but no worries, made due. Highly recommend staying here!

Wonderful find for our Ga -Tenn game weekend (easy hour drive to Knoxville). Our first tiny house but it didn’t feel tiny! More space than you’d expect and loads of… read more amenities. Views were beautiful and private surroundings. Regret we couldn’t explore Jacks trail, next time! Hosts were lovely and so responsive. We’d love to come back and bring our kids (there’s room for all 4 of us for sure!). Thank y’all for a great visit and obvious attention to detail!

Perfect weekend mountain getaway! Short drive to trails/hikes, a local coffee & breakfast/lunch spot- not far off the highway. Everything was new, clean and just as pictured/described— so cute… read more and cozy. Leslie and Karl were kind, friendly and responsive!

We were only a short distance from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We spent a lot of time exploring the Pigeon River and even went rafting (only 5mins from property).
