Excellent stay at the Mayapple! Yes, the driveway was a little rutted but definitely passable. Also, no cell or internet at the cabin (which was fine with us as it was not advertised or expected) but if you need to stay plugged in, you may need to drive a few miles for a signal. Also, if you have mobility issues or trouble getting in and out of a tub, this may be a problem. There is a handle to help stepping into hot tub but it's a big step and an elderly person or someone with walking difficulty would find it a challenge.
But, overall very clean and nice. Very comfy king bed, great shower, no issues at all. Slept wonderfully and highly enjoyed our stay. Only a few minutes from Pigeon Forge but it was very private and secluded. We could see the other cabins but that was about it.
Definitely recommend!
