Great location! Cute cabin
We stayed for a UT football game weekend. Great location to Knoxville and quiet and private! The house was very clean. The description mentioned extra sleeping accommodations which we thought were included based on pics. The front porch was so nice and we grilled steaks on the gas grill. We would definitely stay again!

This cute cabin was just what we were looking for, so cute, yet very comfortable! Place was very clean, well maintained and labeled switches and instructions made things very easy to use. The jacuzzi felt amazing after a long day of hiking. If we’re lucky enough to get back this direction we will definitely come back here. Highly recommended! Brandon Whitney

We loved our stay at the Little Joe cabin on the Pon’erosa in Knoxville. We were there for our son’s graduation from UTK. Kevin and Brandi are great hosts and very responsive. They seem to think of everything. We felt more like guests in their home than as renters of a cabin. The cabin was cozy and very comfortable. The grounds peaceful. Highly recommend it for a getaway.

Serene Location
We stayed in the Little Joe cabin for a week during Christmas. The cabin was very clean and was very well stocked with soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, trash bags and laundry supplies. I have stayed at several STR properties and this is the first where we did not have to purchase these items. We also had a welcome basket with snacks and water waiting for us. The hosts were very responsive with any questions and were accommodating with a special request that we had. The property is beautiful in a peaceful setting, we enjoyed walks with our dog - he enjoyed the large off-leash area. Overall a great experience, we will be staying again in the future!

Very nice little Cabin ❤️
We are two couples who stayed for a weekend while attending a concert in Knoxville. The cabin was easy to find and the property was lovely. The cabin is perfect for two couples. Having two bedroom and two baths, was just what we needed. We really enjoyed the arcade game upstairs. It brought back a lot of memories of our youth. Check in and check out was very easy with little cleaning expected from us. The only thing that was less than appealing that was the hot tub. It’s old, has a mildew issue and the jets are very weak. But it was hot. Thanks for sharing the place with us.

The Best!!
We stay at vacation rentals on all our trips and this place has by far been the best. The cabin is adorable and beyond super clean! The area to walk around and explore was a huge plus when wanting to spend quality, quiet time with family. We captured an adorable photo of our 22 year old Grandson's feet hanging out of the hammock by the pond. This kind of sums up the overall experience. The communication with the hosts was great and assuring of us having a nice stay. HIGHLY!!! recommend this place.

We stayed on 16 acres of heaven in a lovely cabin for three nights. The cabin, named after one of the Cartwright boys from Bonanza, was exactly as described. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped, and well served by friendly and helpful hosts. It is super convenient to Knoxville and would be perfect for a UT football weekend or just a treading getaway. The Smokey Mountain National Park is but 30 minutes away in the other direction. The pond with fountain and nature trail with actual nature are beautiful. Saw two deer by the creek. We will stay again.
