Luke's Cabin offers a charming and rustic escape, nestled close to the Great Smoky Mountains. Guests appreciate the peaceful environment and the opportunity to interact with various farm animals, making it a unique experience. The cabins are well-equipped with basic amenities, and many visitors enjoy the chance to unplug from the digital world. However, the climb to the cabin can be challenging for some, so it's best suited for those comfortable with a bit of a hike.

Where to begin? Our whole experience was just amazing!! Janice is an amazing host that gives you all info upfront and what you can expect and what she expects from you! I took myself and my 3 littles ages 8,5,and 3 we stayed from wed and left sat! Well I tell you my kids loved it I mean they cried when it was time to leave and already want to book it again! The animals are so friendly they loved playing and help take care of them 2 a day! We did the mini workshop and the horse workshop and the 2 oldest learned so much and had a blast! Ms.Jayden and ms. Janice are wonderful and patient. The kids fished and caught 6 blue gill to which I cleaned and cooked and ate! The views from the primitive cabin are amazing! It is exactly as described so I HIGHLY recommend backing light! There is a hike but so worth it! My kids are electronic kids(as are most) but never asked for them never cried for TV or power there is so much to do and wore them out each day! I highly recommend getting back to the basics it truly is an amazing experience! Thank you Ms. Janice for opening your ranch! Thank you Ms. Jayden for how wonderful you are with littles and sharing your knowledge and teaching them about horses and how to ride! Thank you both for your patients in letting them help feed twice a day they will forever cherish our time there and haven't stopped talking about it to everybody that will listen! We can't wait to come back!

We had a great experience ! Spot was nice and secluded and exactly as pictured. Really enjoyed meeting Janice and seeing all her animals. Wish we could have stayed two nights and really explored the property.

We loved everything about Janice's property. It's a short drive from Great Smokey Mountains National Park with a very convenient location. Cute, quiet Townsend is nearby if you need a restaurant or grocery store. The property itself is also beautiful, with dozens of different little animals and miles of hand-dug trails. We enjoyed exploring and had great privacy even with other guests and Janice on the property. There's plenty of space! We also really appreciated the accommodations at Luke's Cabin. It's simple but tidy and had everything we needed for the week - a working kitchen, a full bathroom, pretty comfy bed, and small dining and living area. We even got to use a VCR and VHS tapes for the first time since the '90s! ;) No WiFi but that's exactly what we wanted. We would definitely visit again! We had a wonderful time.

The cabin was very quaint. Bed was very comfortable. AC worked great. Was a little climb from parking to cabin. Very quiet in beautiful wooded area.
