Our cabin in the mountains

For our trip Eric and I decided that we would rent a cabin while in the Smokies. I was more excited then I think Eric was, he was a little more skeptical. He had heard that sometimes the cabin is not always as they are advertised/described.  

So after lunch we headed to the rental agency to get the key and directions to our cabin for our long weekend. When we pulled up everyone was pretty excited and it was everything we expected and more. 

One of the things that I really wanted was that log cabin feel. So it had that really nice wood finishing throughout the cabin. Also I was it no way trying to "rough" it with a young baby, just four months old, so we made sure it had all the amenities of home (i.e. running water, electricity, heat, etc) and a few more perks ;)

It was so nice that it had this wrap around porch on both levels, looking out over the wilderness. We had some really nice views. It was also nice and quiet with really no one else around.  

On the bottom porch there was a hot tub off the bedroom. This came in handy after some of our hikes ;)

This was the bottom level which had the walkout to the porch and another bathroom with and jetted tub. The boys were impressed with the spiral staircase and was a fun addition to the cabin as well. It was really nice and were so happy that it was away from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg and just minutes from the park entrance.
