The cabin was absolutely amazing. Views from the cabin and the balconies were different each time of the day. No obstructionists. Far in the woods to feel the nature, while close enough to other cabins - not to feel deserted. It was a Thanksgiving week get away for our family to celebrate my daughter 13th birthday. The team went beyond with surprising the birthday girl with a birthday cake and balloons. We enjoyed the view, pool table, hot tub and fireplace. We wished this weeks did not go by so fast!

We had a wonderful stay at Natural Retreats. Absolutely amazing view from the deck and the place was nice and cozy. There’s plenty of bathrooms and space just wish there was more than just 1 bed! (The other two are sofa beds) but regardless we knew what we were coming for and it was a fantastic cabin.

We were in love with the property! The view was just as the cabin was named “simply breathtaking”! It was very well maintained. Clean, and although you are in the “resort” you have amazing privacy. We will be back!

My husband and I have come every year to Brothers Cove..for 14 yeats! IT is our one and often only treat to ourselves..it is worth it to us to get a rest from the "hurriness" of our lives..There is a peace in those mountains that are unequaled for us..the staff of Natural Retreats also goes out of its way to assure a great time away..THANK YOU Drew for your extra care this year!

We had a wonderful stay for our first time visiting the Smoky Mountains. The cabin was lovely, and spacious. We also had a bear sighting-- a mama with four cubs right outside our cabin! The pool was close too, which was convenient after a long day of hiking. Watching the sunrise from the deck was also quite beautiful. Our only (minor) complaint was one of the pull-out couches was a bit uncomfortable to sleep on. Other than that, we'd gladly return!

We absolutely loved our stay here at this cabin! We brought our two boys (6&3) and we were all extremely happy and impressed by this stay! The cabin is absolutely beautiful with the most spectacular views! Waking up to the mountain range sunrise was our favorite part, along with the multiple decks overlooking the mountain landscapes. The hot tub was a great and relaxing addition for everyone! The quality of the bed was perfect and waking up to that sunrise over the mountains is priceless. 5 stars no question about it! We truly cannot wait to stay here away next time. In the meantime I will be Dreaming of those amazing views!

Great cabin to visit for sure! My husband and I honeymooned here and it was the perfect amount of cozy and grand! We wanted something smallish because it was just the two of us but we still wanted that grand cabin feel. This cabin gave us both the cozy and the beauty. The view is amazing, check-in was super easy, and the cabin met all our expectations! We had a great time! Highly recommend!

We had a great cabin in the Smoky Mountains - amazing views, roomy, clean, and well-appointed. The reservation and check-in process was easy. Many of our friends asked for the cabin information after seeing our pictures on social media. We expect to stay at another Natural Retreats property the next time we're at one of their destinations.

The property is beautiful. The coordination of cabin reservations between previous owners and new owners could’ve been managed better. It put a lot of stress on us as well as our wedding guests. Need to work on that!!!!!

The cabin and view was excellent! The only thing that needs updating were the sofa sleepers. The one on the main floor is bent and in the game room is bent as well. My girls made the best of it but overall the stay was great!!!

Simply Breathtaking was awesome. The pictures were very accurate and the view from the back deck was phenomenal. We weren't expecting the steep drive up the mountain, but we are glad we were way up there so we could get that view. The cabin had everything we needed except salt/pepper and maybe some more toiletries. It was a little bit of a pain to drive all the way back down to unload our trash, but was understandable. I would definitely stay here again and hope to in the future. My family of 4 really enjoyed it.

First let me say our cabin was beautiful. It was spacious and the view was simply breathtaking ( we stayed in #36 and it was actually called simply breathtaking). The cabin was clean and had everything we wanted and needed...The only reason why I'm giving it a 8 is because I would have loved for the windows to be cleaner... Everything else was great.Thank you for giving us a rememberable experience.

Very good view from my cabin. Clean. The only thing that I could complain about is the back deck could have better covering. It rained all day Saturday and would have been nice to sit out back where the view was and listen to the rain.

This was a PERFECT choice for the current COVID climate. Contact-less check-in and -out! The location of Brother's Cove Cabins is great...in the mountains, but away from the tourist attractions in Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge. (However, if you like that kind of thing, it's close enough.) We come for the quiet cabin life, making our own meals, enjoying the hot tub and appreciating the VIEW (which from our deck was spectacular)! We also come for the many hiking options in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park...which are just amazing! And, in January, the trails are not very busy, and the winter beauty is so captivating. All together, it makes for the perfect getaway. This was our third time staying at Brother's Cove, but our favorite cabin so far (#36, Simply Breathtaking). We will be back to Brother's Cove! A couple comments to help ... the bed sheets were not comfy-softer would be nice; need more pots and pans for making meals...there was a stock pot and two small sauce pans, but we had a need for a medium sized sauce pan, and a paring knife would be helpful as well. Thanks for the great amenities!

the ultimate ease of check-in and out process. The cabin was very clean and organized upon arrival. Technology including keyless entry, wifi, and cable service all worked without a hitch. Soo many sheets and towels we never had to think about doing laundry once. Views were even better than we could have imagined which the massive windows provided views from almost everywhere in the cabin (both upstairs and down). All in all this was a fantastic experience that i would absolutely recommend to friends and family to stay at in the future!

We enjoyed the location, cleanliness, amenities. The only problem that we’ve had is that the dishwasher didn’t have soap included... we asked staff and they advised they would bring some and never did so we had to purchase detergent at a store 15 minutes away.

Cabin #36 was absolutely beautiful. The views from the deck looking out at the mountains was awe inspiring. Upon arrival the cabin was very clean inside and out. I spoke with the office workers a total of three or four times since the booking of our vacation and everytime they were pleasant and helpful. I am looking forward to returning possibly next year.

Our second stay at Brothers cove and it was as good as the first. It is a great place to get away from it all. I would recommend the owner of the cabin we stayed in to get a new mattress for the bed.

Great location with ease of access to the park and Cades Cove, beautiful (and clean) cabin, well stocked with basic supplies. Great views from the cabin. Check-in was wonderful as I never had to stop and talk to anyone. Maps and gate and key codes prior to arrival were great. All in all, a great trip with no complaints!

The view was great. Pictures can’t do it justice. The cabin was wonderful. We enjoyed the grill on the patio, the hot tub, fully stocked kitchen and plenty of living space for our two young kids to enjoy.

Beautiful view and beautiful home

Very well kept cabin clean and neat. Owner called and checked on us to make sure we were all good which was nice. Breathtaking views, peaceful location, and well worth the stay. Cabin does not have wi-fi which if you want to unplug then this is the place for you.

Name says it all...

We came to the US for a music road trip, stopping in Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga before coming to the cabin for a few restful days before flying home. Wow what a stunning location. The cabin was well equipped and had a real homely feel. We fell in love and would have stayed forever if we could. Came home totally chilled and ready to face the rest of the year.

Outstanding View!

This cabin is appropriately named. The view from the living room is simply breathtaking. It is fully furnished, has everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and other rooms. There are TVs in every area with DirecTV. My only reason for not giving this cabin five stars is that there is no WiFi available. In this day and age, that is almost a necessity in my opinion.
