Simple Pleasures is a lovely, comfortable cabin in a beautiful location. I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and bedding! It's in a quiet location but close to all the activities of the area. On a more personal note, I have loved the novel "Christy" since I was a child, so seeing the street names in the area always made me smile. Great communication with the owner and easy check-in. We hope to return!

Not for elderly
The property was not easy for older folks with bad balance. Be careful of your footing. It’s definitely on a slope. Pictures can be deceiving. No trash can under the deck and we couldn’t have put it there anyway. I’m 82, husband is 84. Cabin was not as clean as expected.

Comfortable mountain cabin
We had three adults and two kids. The layout worked out well and the house was clean and comfortable. Jo was quick to respond to questions. The house is in a gated community in the mountain. The roads are narrow and winding and there are a couple of steep hills. We had no problems in a mini van in good weather, but also arrived during the day, which I would recommend if you don’t drive in the mountains often. We would definitely stay there again.

Great stay
Loved everything about our stay . The cabin had everything you needed and then some . The cutest thing was the family that stayed before us left a little surprise, we could either adopt it or leave it for the next guest, we adopted. We also did the same . I hope that will continue.

Awesome getaway cabin
Very quiet location up the mountain. At this time of year on multiple trips up and down we only passed one car! Very nice short week away! My favorite thing was the lovely Christmas decorations and a lit Christmas tree that welcomed us on arrival! Thank you!!

Great place and enjoyed very much! Two marks against it would be poor lighting in the downstairs bedroom and that bedroom carpet really needs replaced. All else was excellent!

Felt like home
My family came to Tennessee to cheer on my son and his teammates as their football team was playing in the Rocky Top Nationals. The weather was perfect 70’s and 60’s and Simple Pleasure was the best place for our family. The house had everything that we needed and made cooking easy for every meal. I was more excited that we were able to see three bears walking down the road.

Wonderful weekend getaway!
The cabin was so nice and Jo, the property manager, went out of her way to answer questions we had including a visit to the cabin. The location was wonderful for our visit to Cade’s Cove.

Great Cabin! Great Location!!
Our family really enjoyed our stay at Simple Pleasures cabin. The cabin was exactly as described and very clean. Check in was easy too. The location was perfect for easy access to the Smoky Mountain National Park for site seeing and hiking, while also not too far of a drive to Pigeon Forge.

Great House/Cabin in quiet neighborhood
Perfect place to stay with family or friends. Super clean, well stocked, completely updated/new, nice ambiance, great deck with screened in porch. Very responsive. Easy access to Townsend/main route but far enough for utter mountain quiet/peacefulness! Plus the bears cruise by nightly to wiggle a nose from a safe distance (and keep on moving)! Will definitely stay here again at next year's Bronco Super Celebration!
