"This place was perfect for our trip. It’s located close to everything the area has to offer. We didn’t have more than a 45 minute drive to get to anything. The place is simple, in a good way. It has everything you need and nothing you don’t. The best part is the back deck over the mountain creek. It was very relaxing to sit out there and listen to the water. We spent most of our time at the cabin enjoying that. The hot tub on the deck was a nice bonus as well. The area is absolutely beautiful...

8/10 Good
"The receptionist at the front desk, Mike, was great and friendly when we checked in. However, when he was busy not at the front desk, I asked someone in the office for my checkout receipt, that person simply said “You have to wait!” in an inpatient and rude tone, then shut the office door at my face without helping me?! The room was spacious, but the cleaning could have been more thorough: (1) some spiderwebs by entrance door, (2) no shower gel provided in the dispenser at all, (3) a big spider in our bathroom."

"Great stay. Twin Creeks #2 was well appointed and well maintained. Very hot and humid during our stay, but the wall AC was able to keep up. May be worth changing the porch lights to focus a cone of light on the ground to reduce the light pollution, but nothing bad to say about the visit. Dinner at the Appalachian Bistro was great, breakfast at Apple Valley Cafe was solid, set up well for hiking in the Smokies."
