We are honored when guests share comments, pros and poetry about their experiences while vacationing at the Tom T. Hall Cabin.


Hi Dennis,

I just wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous time at the Tom T Hall cabin. It is a wonderful place to visit and we plan to return next summer.
Nellie, Jon, Greg and I are going to choose the exact time very soon. I believe that is the best vacation place in the states that I ever visited. Thanks for maintaining such a user-friendly and lovely place to visit!

We loved our time at the cabin! We've rented many cabins and found this on to be, by far, the loveliest, most private and best equipped we've encountered. It's a perfect place to commune with friends, family and nature. Dennis made us feel welcome and at home. Thank you so much!

Dennis, my wife, brother and his wife just got back yesterday after spending the week of Aug 16-23 at your Tom T. Hall cabin. We loved it so much. The peace and quiet was great and it was so relaxing sitting on the porch looking at the pond in the morning with a cup of coffee. The day was filled with some away activities but three or four days we just sat around the cabin and pond fishing and relaxing in the hot tub. The cabin is the best-stocked rental property I have ever rented and included everything except a personal masseuse. Also, the cabin was decorated in the neatest way and we loved it. When we left Saturday, it was like leaving family, as we were sad to leave. If I hit the lotto, may stay several months next time.

Dennis, We were at the cabin for the Memorial Day week this year. My wife had just graduated from nursing school and it was our friend's 51st Birthday. The water was great! The dogs loved it! We had fires each night inside and out (lots of weenie roasting and smores). It was kind of a family reunion with people from all over the country, many staying in nearby hotels. My 95-year-old grandmother especially enjoyed it. She's from Montana and it really reminded her of that.

Six of us took a horseback ride with Southeast Pack trips and had a great time, but only two of us went on a canoe trip. That was really a highlight for me. They take you 5.9 miles up river and you take as long as you want to paddle back. We saw a mother and baby ducks, waterfall shallow rapids. It was wonderfully peaceful.

By the way, we had two kids in our group, who we're happy to say, caught their first fish of their lives there at the cabin, it was a wonderful life experience. We think next time we might try it in the winter too.

Hi Dennis,
I just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying your cabin this week. It is wonderful here, I have not put on a bit of makeup or fixed my hair all week! My daughter caught the biggest fish so far, a bass, and it sure was tasty. The water is nice and warm on top and refreshing on the bottom, and every now and then we get a little nip from the fish.

We used your smoker today to smoke a whole turkey and it was wonderful. I don’t think I have ever had such a relaxing vacation, and I have been to SEVERAL places from the Atlantis on Paradise Island in the Bahamas to the beaches of Costa Rica, Florida and Northern California.

We had a great time horseback riding at Southeast Pack Trips. I did not realize they took only cash or check, so I had no way to pay them. Would you believe they told me to just send them a check when I got home? Amazing! Our dogs really had a good time exploring all of the property, and swimming with us. We had an awesome time, I am already looking into booking for TWO weeks next year.

We reserved the cabin to have a family Thanksgiving in the mountains. Our family (4 Generations) came from Texas, Florida, Kentucky and Illinois for the week. We had a wonderful time and were blown away by the amenities and comfort of the cabin. No one wanted to go home. I drove 978 miles from Texas to stay and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!

Dennis,

You told me when we rented your lovely cabin that we would not want to leave. After our wonderful stay I must say that it was most certainly an understatement. We have never had such a great vacation and we have never stayed at such a beautiful place. The accomodations were superior to any cabin we have ever rented and more importantly the surroundings were spectacular. My kids loved throwing the fish food in the pond and then swimming with the fish! We swam, fished, and relaxed the entire time. My only regret was not reserving a week of this little piece of heaven a summer in advance. We will most certainly see you every summer from now on and thanks!

Dennis,

I want to thank you so much for the vacation at your cabin. My kids range in ages from 2 - 14. They all had a great time. The cabin had everything we needed to enjoy the week. The kids loved the hot tub, fire pit, pond, canoe, and feeding the fish. I didn't know there was so many beautiful sights within easy driving distance from the cabin. It will be very hard to top this vacation. Thanks for making it so enjoyable. I will recommend the cabin to all my friends.

Dennis,

I wanted to tell you what a wonderful time we had at your cabin. Having it snow on Saturday topped off the whole trip. The scenery was beautiful and could not have been more perfect. Our son is only 5 months old so this was the first time he had been exposed to snow. Thanks to pictures and video, we will have lasting and unforgettable memories for our family. We look forward to staying at your cabin every year, if available.

Thank you for an awesome vacation!

We had a fantastic time! Peaceful, relaxing and plenty of space both inside and out (not to mention the most well-stocked cabin I have even been in). Thank you for contributing to one of our best Thanksgivings ever! Great friends, good wine, and an AWESOME cabin - Thanks Tom T Hall!!

This has been a wonderful vacation! We really didn't do much except relax and unwind, fish, soak in the hot tub, watch movies and TV while enjoying the quietness. We have been to many cabins in Gatlinburg but this cabin is by far the best we have ever stayed in. There are no houses stacked side by side. Thank you so much for allowing us to share your own little piece of heaven. We loved it and hope to return.

A house holds secrets to unveil
Here is tales of joy to reveal.

Before we go, we shall impart
the simple joys that filled our hearts.

The sounds of silence in the night
The trees so lovely by day light.

Warmth that natural wood tones bring,
Morning Peace ere birds sing.

We'd taken refuge in this place
A time for peace, out of the race.

My sister, Karen Lehmberg, our mother, Dorothy, and I stayed at your wonderful place from 4/3-4/8, 2004 and we don't remember when we have ever felt so relaxed.

It has been a very special time for us and we thank you for thinking of everything one could ever need and for the spotless accommodations.
On the evening of 4/7 I was inspired to write this.

The peace the tranquility
the majestic night sky
the surreal glow of the moon
as the clouds pass it by

Its reflection so clear
on the glassine pond below
through the boughs of the trees,
what a magnificent show-
gray black and white
in every conceivable shade
you know this wondrous sight
could never be man made.

And then there are the sounds
out there in the night
and if you pay close attention
you will know that i am right.

The rustling of leaves as a furry friend
settles in, the hoot of an owl
as this symphony begins-
The croak of the bull frog
as he converses with another,

The flip of the fish
as he breaks through the water...

Yes, the sights and the sounds
are to be truly appreciated
and I thank you Lord
for all you have created

Out of all the cabins we've stayed at this is by far the most beautiful & peaceful.

It rained on our second day and reminded me how relaxing and beautiful rain could be!

We just watched it rain and sat by the fire. Of course my husband had to fish in the pond and that was funny!

We can't wait to come back. Thank you so much for sharing this small piece of heaven with us and being such a gracious host. You have made us feel so welcome.

Thank you and we will see you again in July if not sooner.

Your beautiful cabin was exactly what Jim & I had in mind for out honeymoon. WE LOVED IT!

Just one of our favorite things were the big porches with rocking chairs. It was so peaceful enjoying the scenery while rocking.

Thank you so much for reminding us about the lunar eclipse last night. What a beautiful clear night. We watched the eclipse and looked at all of the stars.

Your hospitality is very much appreciated.

The Tom T Hall cabin is like no other! Our second time back and we are ready for more. Our group has been visiting cabins across the Midwest for nearly 10 years and this place sets the standard. We hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do!
