The pictures of Shadys Barn do not do it justice. It is absolutely adorable and cozy. It was so very perfect for us. The kitchen is well stocked. I added a couple items :) WiFi is excellent. Hot tub was perfect. Mornings on the porch with coffee were perfect. An abundance of wildlife
This was the perfect weekend getaway! Everything was perfect! We had the absolute best time thank you so much!! We will definitely be recommending this cabin to our friends:)
We really enjoyed our stay the cabin was very cozy, had everything you needed the hot tub was wonderful, if you want a beautiful secluded cabin this is the one but you do need an AWD or 4-WHEEL DRIVE we will return

The cleanliness and coziness of this cabin made our trip absolutely incredible. It was the first thing we saw when we arrived to Gatlinburg and was not disappointed. Will book with them again when staying in the future
Shadyâs Barn was clean and matched our expectations from the description and pics. Beautiful property in a private setting, end cabin on a long gravel drive.
The kitchen is pretty well stocked which came in handy since we were attending an event in Townsend where the few restaurants there can get overwhelmed at dinner time.
Hope to return next year.
We really enjoyed our stay, everything was as advertised. A soak in the hot tub every afternoon after exploring the area was nice. I gave the check-in process three stars for the following reason: Shortly after we booked I received an email asking for a picture of my credit card (last four numbers of account only) and my drivers license. This would allow the renter to email me the address and door code on the day of arrival. I wasn't comfortable sending personal information over unsecure email, so I was given the option to check-in at the office in town on the day of arrival, which is what we did.After our stay I emailed the manager asking why they required this and this was part of his response: "One of the reasons we request a photo of the credit card (with only the last four digits visible) along with a driverâs license is to verify that the person making the reservation is the same person staying at the property and is also the person paying."Ironically, their process doesn't guarantee that at all, the alternate procedure of having me check-in at the office does much more to insure this. Had I emailed the information requested I could have just forwarded the address and door code email to someone else on arrival day and they would have been none the wiser. Checking in at the office at least proved I was in the area that day, even if I wasn't the one actually staying at the property. I still highly recommend this property for a relaxing stay in the area.
Property was everything it said it was and as described. It was nice to find a cabin for just two, well appointed and nice lay out, not everything cramped in one space to include the hot tub. Needs a blind over the glass doors, we used blankets to keep out the sun, and any passerbyâs. Privacy from neighbors was nice... Peaceful, I would consider staying again.
Great place to get away. Saw 3 adult bear and 3 babies, one coyote, and many turkey's. Bed unfortunately was very hard and hard on our backs. But everything else.was great. wawonwhard and hard on it backsturkey's.
