Better than Expected and We expected A Lot!!
We stayed a week, May 18-25, 2023, at the Little Ponderosa cabin and loved it! It is quiet and private as well as easy to drive to, just 15 minutes from UTK and downtown. We drove easily to our son’s graduation, visited the University Gardens, and went to a great Knoxville Symphony Orchestra concert at the historic Tennessee Theater. The cabin was a comfortable place to relax, sitting on the porch with my coffee or inside playing Scrabble or enjoying our family meals. The kitchen is well-stocked with good-quality dishes, cookware, silverware, wine glasses, and even enough snacks and Keurig cups for our stay! Brandi & Kevin have provided many amenities as advertised and taken great care to maintain their property. They have installed many security features like easy gate & door locks, outdoor lighting on timers, and a lighted staircase up to the terrific loft & full bath. We loved the king bed upstairs with a new Memory foam mattress. The hot tub and foosball hockey table were a big hit as well as the outdoor game area, lighted fountain on the fishing pond & trails to explore on the property. We were so glad to stay where we felt safe and comfortable, with activities for us all to enjoy!- Wendy, May 2023.
Our stay here was the equivalent of a five-star hotel. The interior and grounds were gorgeous and we had everything we needed or wanted including the hot tub and laundry and lovely porch. We also appreciated the entrance from the parking area to the kitchen by the back porch. Thank you for being so thoughtful of your guests. Would definitely recommend Pat, May 2023.
We stayed for four nights and had the best experience at Little Joe Cabin...Our host was always receptive to our questions. The cabin itself was spotless and stocked with everything the three of us needed during our stay.
Our favorite spot at the cabin was sitting on the deck in the rocking chairs first thing in the morning, sipping coffee, and listening to the wildlife (we saw a family of deer twice during our stay!). We were treated to rain, which was so relaxing to listen to while on the porch. We would return to the porch in the evening and listen to the nighttime critters and watch the fireflies while sipping a cocktail... would love to stay again on our return to Knoxville- Jana, April 2023.
It was a fantastic experience; the cabin was clean and amazing, with all amenities. Great location, close enough to downtown Knoxville but not too close. We stayed in a few cabins in the eastern part of Tennessee; this, by far, was the best- Thomas, Mar 2023
We have stayed in a lot of cabins over the years... Big Hoss Cabin one was the best yet. It was perfect for our family of 6. My oldest daughter had a volleyball tournament in Knoxville, and this cabin was about 13 minutes from the Knoxville Convention Center. We decided to book a cabin instead of a hotel room.
The layout inside the cabin was great. Our older girls had the entire basement with a bunk bed room, bath & game room. It has everything we needed and more. We loved all the outdoor activities. They have everything you can imagine to do. Nightly s’mores & a dip in the hot tub were always a plus. The pond was great for fishing, even in February. We played corn hole and explored the 16 acres. The hosts were amazing and were quick to respond if we had any questions. I will definitely book this cabin again. It was perfect!- Julie, Feb 2023
My teenage daughters and I took a trip after Christmas. Our stay at Little Joe Cabin was absolutely perfect right from the start. The cabin is extremely clean and beautiful. Brandi was very sweet... We enjoyed the coziness of the cabin and especially the hot tub. We made the best of memories and really want to plan another trip. I can't say enough about the whole experience. Absolutely wonderful!- Bri, Dec 2022
Lovely accommodation. The hot tub was so relaxing! 10/10 would recommend Little Ponderosa Cabin- Julia, Dec 2022
