Great Stay
Our family, 10 all together, had a wonderful time staying at Lady Bug. Close enough to town but far enough to be quiet and no traffic! So beautiful at night and we gathered at the amazing fire pit everyday for good conversation & watching wildlife. Table in kitchen let out so we could play games and have dinner all together. Downstairs game room was a huge plus. Highly recommend staying here if you want out of hustle & bustle of downtown areas. Dollywood 2 hours away and a snow tube adventure at Scaly Mountain was perfect entertainment for the grandkids!

Remote quiet mountain get away.
Enjoyable weekend get away. We enjoyed the home with our kids and grands. We had plenty of room for our small group. Did not even use the downstairs level and still had loads of room and fun. Kitchen well furnished and we needed for nothing. Gas stove was nice, fridge was spacious. Bedrooms were comfy and we enjoyed our stay. Real nice fire pit out back and was nice in the evenings sitting around the fire. The drive up to the house is not as spooky as we expected at first. Take it easy and steady, and you will be fine. Only issue I would mention, the main floor bathroom has zero window covers. (Clear glass). Ensuring no one is outside on the porch is required before showering. Or just don’t use that shower.

Great weekend
We had a wonderful time at Ladybug Cottage. It was very accommodating, and fit our needs well. Accessing the cottage was a bit challenging! We must not have seen the part of the listing that said it was at the top of a steep drive. Very quiet and secluded though!
