What a wonderful vacation retreat!

The pictures of Longview Cabin don't do it justice. It is so beautiful, comfortable, cozy...am I gushing? The cabin deserves every compliment! In person, it was even better than what we saw online.
Meticulously clean, it had all the amenities one could ask for. Bring your clothes and stop at the convenient supermarket on the way to the cabin to get food, then settle in. Everything else was provided for us - soaps, shampoos, dishwashing and laundry suppies, condiments and such. There was plenty of firewood for the woodburning fireplace with gas lighter (talk about convenient!) Beds are very comfortable, and the towels are soft and fluffy.
The cabin easily sleeps 8 (9 if you put two kids on the futon in the loft).
It is convenient to many little mountain towns for shopping or antiquing, Smoky Mt. Natl. Forest is minutes away, and it's a spectacular two hour drive to Gatlinburg or Dollywood. Asheville is about an hour away. The roads to the cabin are very good.
And the view! Oh my goodness! You could see for miles and miles in a 180 degree range. And we could only count 8 faraway cabins within eyesight from the deck. And that was with all the leaves off the trees. In summer, you wouldn't see any.
There is only one thing I would change about the cabin and that is to put the extra television in the master bedroom downstairs. Or get a third TV. We like to watch TV in bed, so we wound up sleeping upstairs in the kids' room with the queen bed and bunkbeds, which was kind of fun - like being at camp - but I'd still have preferred the master bedroom.
Other than that, it couldn't have been more perfect, and I would highly recommend a stay at Longview Cabin.
