Spotless, cozy, full of amenities. Plenty of room for relaxing and enjoying family/friends. We loved the table top fire pit and beautiful backyard. Sitting on the front porch swing was wonderful too. Kitchen was fully stocked. Location is close to TRI airport too. Would come back here in a heartbeat. Best VRBO experience I’ve had. Communication was clear and host was easy to reach. Very professional. Highly recommended.

We could not have enjoyed our stay in this sweet spot any more. From beginning to end, Karen was an amazing host, assuring the cabin was ready for us and responding quickly when we had questions. We celebrated Easter with our family at the cabin, and we all enjoyed it very much. Our chef son-in-law helped prepare many of our meals and was amazed at how well stocked the kitchen was with supplies and staple items. There has been no stone left unturned making this cabin comfortable for a relaxing and fun stay. The grandchildren played on the swing out front, enjoyed corn hole on the sidewalk, and making amores on the back porch. We relaxed, enjoyed meals, and played games on the porches throughout our stay. We walked to the lake, visited the local cavern and gem mining spot, made a stop in the casino, and enjoyed delicious take-out pizza from a local restaurant. The cabin was clean and could not have been more comfortable. We didn’t want to leave and hope to return again.Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful cabin where we made such wonderful memories.

Lovely!! This is a wonderful cabin with a fully appointed kitchen. The cabin is as darling as it appears in the pictures. We were in the area to attend a wedding and I appreciated that we had everything we needed. The host communicates well and I knew I could reach her if needed. I only wish we had stayed one more day to relax after all the wedding activities. We would certainly stay here again.

Canoe Cabin
I was thoroughly impressed with my stay at Canoe Cabin. The cabin was well stocked with everything you could need when vacationing. The place also had nice personal touches, making it feel very 'homey.' The outdoor space was great to spend time with family in the evenings. Karen was easy to communicate with and very responsive. I recommend the cabin to anyone visiting the area.

You'll Understand Why All the 5 Star Reviews
Beautiful house and property, immaculately clean and was literally stocked with EVERYTHING. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen I've ever had in a rental with cookware, utensils, every spice, flour, sugar and an OATMEAL AND COFFEE BAR. I was even able to make four large batches of baked ziti using the multiple large pots, baking sheets, etc. in the kitchen. The bathrooms have every toiletry, towel, washcloth, and more that you could want. There are multiple areas to relax inside and out and many cozy blankets to snuggle in to. Karen checked in with us after check in to make sure everything was in order and answered all of our questions.
My only regret was not knowing that - even though this house has 2 kings and 2 queen beds (with room to sleep 8) - you can never have more than 7 people on the property at a time. Karen explained this is due to their rental license. We also met their pretty grumpy neighbor whom I'm sure keeps this in check. But it was a little sad that I couldn't have my mom over for dinner because my sister and I had our families and we were a total of 7. I'm a rule follower so we worked it out - but it is a bummer that you can't have in-town guests over for a visit.
All in all - we will definitely stay here in the future when we are back in town to visit!
The “Canoe Cabin” is an outstanding vacation rental property filled with charming character inside and out. The property managers left no stone unturned in providing a thoroughly welcoming guest experience including a fully stocked house, snacks, coffee bar and toiletries. Even the furniture, beds and bedding were exceptionally comfortable. The porches were delightful and the yard was beautiful. Thank you Karen for being a wonderful hostess. We will definitely be going again next year.

Beautiful Sweet South Vacation!
We visited Eastern TN for a week with family and a wedding. With the expansive bedroom options, 3 couples stayed comfortably with privacy!
The kindness of the hosts is apparant from the excellent communication, attentiveness and special gift for us. I loved the spare amenities should you have forgotten something, which I did!
I enjoyed winding down upstairs in the loft in the late evening, it was very relaxing to be "unplugged".
Every morning and evenimg we enjoyed the wildlife with the serene sound of a waterfall. I captured so many deer images, saw wild turkeys too! The deer are beautiful and tame. I even have a selfie with a deer!
We spent little time inside, it was just too gorgeous and relaxing not to enjoy the many patio options. I loved swinging on the front porch, we even watched fireworks from the porch over the lake!
I did have to work a few days, and it was so nice to do so from the back screened in porch, I had the BEST Microsoft Teams background.
The decor was very well planned, and the perfect cabin setting. I loved the owl statue!
Lastly, the cleanliness was superb. There was not a speck of dust anywhere. Furniture was clean, new, comfortable and we all enjoyed our stay.
Highly recommend Canoe Cabin and we are so grateful to have enjoyed 8 nights there.
