From the second we arrived we felt at home at The Scratching Post. We explored every inch of ground between here and Gatlinburg. Hiking, fishing, craft beer, and white water rafting. We left our mark on the Smokies. Coming home overnight Coming "home" to this immaculate mountain getaway. Thank you for having us. We are sure to return.

Beautiful, secluded location for a family or friends getaway. New, clean and nicely appointed. Plenty of space for parents and kids. If in the summer, about 15 minutes to the closest boat dock for renting a pontoon or launching your own at Lake Fontana. An easy place to relax and lose track of time in just a few days...

This place is stunning! I came to the area to go whitewater rafting and explore the area but the cabin was so nice we didn't even want to leave. The place basically had everything that was needed. There is a grocery store about 20 minutes away too so it is a great location. I absolutely loved the place! Thank you for my stay, everything was great.

We are a group of best friends meeting each other from different locations after a span of two years. We had fun in the mountains. We really enjoyed the splendid stay and had a great time rafting, tubing at Deep Creek and water falls at Indian Creek, and loved all of the pictures that we were able to take.

Priceless memories with my 3 best friends. This place and vacation were priceless. We needed a place to get away from the screens on our phones, tablets and computers as well as the sights and sounds of the real world. Mission Accomplished. I have never been more relaxed. This was our first cabin trip but not our last!!

We stayed here for Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends and had an amazing time. The cabin is secluded and quiet, family/child friendly, modern and updated (while still being rustic), and had many great amenities. We stayed up way too late each night to play darts, pinball, and soak in the hot tub. We would all highly recommend this cabin for your getaway or family vacation!
