Beyond Bitcoin: How Enterprises Can Integrate Blockchain into Business
By Kristy Blackmon
In 2016, blockchain technology came close to hitting its peak on Gartner's annual Hype Cycle, signaling an imminent shift from an emerging, theoretical technology to widespread adoption. Like cloud, big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT) before it, blockchain is the tech industry's latest Next Big Thing. Analysts and industry experts say it holds immense potential for organizations, but many business leaders don't yet see a practical application for their operations. While a lot of people know blockchain is the technology behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies, what about enterprise applications in other industries?
What exactly is blockchain?
The code that makes up blockchain is incredibly complex, and only a few thousand people understand it. On a high level, it's a data structure supported by peer-to-peer (P2P) protocols that form a distributed, decentralized transaction ledger. Every member on the community network uses the same "consensus mechanism" to verify every transaction made through the network, creating a unique, permanent audit trail. Thanks to the distributed nature of the blockchain, there's no single point of failure, and no way to make modifications to the transaction record.
You may start to hear a new acronym-DLT, or Distributed Ledger Technology. Many experts think 2017 is the year blockchain technology will gain traction in the enterprise, and new mainstream understandings about the technology will lead to high-value applications and process simplifications as general adoption trends progress to line of business solutions.
It's important to understand that blockchain isn't a technology layered on top of existing infrastructures in order to tweak the way business is done. It requires a different way of thinking and an entirely new approach to business. There are no middlemen involved in a blockchain transaction to facilitate and verify the exchange; it's all done instantly on the distributed network, with the record of transaction logged permanently in the database. It's a machine-to-machine process that has no human touch points once the transaction is entered.
Enterprise use cases
Blockchain is the next iteration of the connected enterprise. It's the next logical step in a data sharing ecosystem in which every process is now-or will soon be-digital. The amount of data we have to process is overwhelming. As IoT takes hold, connected smart machines and devices will exchange information and execute automated tasks.
Blockchain is already used in a handful of applications including cryptocurrency. This year, as more people set their minds to understanding the technology and finding creative applications, we will see a sharp increase in new use cases in industries as diverse as agriculture, finance, healthcare, energy, and manufacturing.
- Supply chain The immutability of DLT makes blockchain suited to banking and finance, which is why the first mature applications, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, are in this space. The responsibility for verifying and securing the transactions shifts from a central authority to the distributed network, and the ledger is public, which increases transparency. But you don't have to deal in cryptocurrency in order to find a fintech application for blockchain. The real promise for enterprises lies within the supply chain. Because transactions happen in real time, sales order processing, inventory management, and accounting work more closely together and at significantly increased speeds.
Picture this: a women's apparel retail store does a booming business in a particular line of handbags. The store's inventory management system sends a purchase alert when it's time to order, and through the blockchain, the application sees available inventory and triggers a sales order. There's no need to verify the inventory is in stock; because of the transparency, the system knew that before it placed the order. Payment is automatically generated and transferred in real time, bypassing the bank entirely. With blockchain, a process that takes weeks could be completed in a matter of minutes.
- Food and beverage
When you deal with perishables, keeping an exact chain of custody is imperative. Walmart has partnered with IBM to test a blockchain application that tracks the pork it sells in China. Every step the product takes between farm and cash register is documented on the blockchain. The record shows where it originated, how and when it was processed, which truck transported it, at what temperature it was stored, when it will expire, and which store bought it.
Right now, this application is only in the testing stage in a very small market, but the clear benefits mean it won't be long before using a blockchain in the food and beverage industry becomes best practice.
- "Limited blockchains"
Blockchains aren't only helpful when exchanging valuable assets with entities outside the enterprise trust circle. Some of the applications with the most creative potential are in private use cases where the data is shared with a smaller, pre-defined value chain. In many instances, these blockchains will be used in tandem with off-blockchain solutions and brokers because enterprises won't have the advantage of a vast P2P network of distributed entities. In this sense, they're limited blockchains.
For example, the handbag manufacturer we outlined above may use a limited blockchain to manage its production schedule. From the sales team to the shop floor to the warehouse, every touchpoint in the product lifecycle is recorded on the blockchain, while more granular business processes are controlled off-blockchain. Or in healthcare, a consortium of medical care providers and insurance companies could use the blockchain to decentralize patient health records, creating one source of patient data. However, because of HIPAA regulations, there may need to be an off-blockchain application matching each blockchain node with the corresponding patient's sensitive identity information.
Challenges to overcome
The promise of blockchain is exciting, but there are some significant challenges to work out before widespread adoption is realistic. One of the biggest is security and privacy. In June of last year, hackers exploited a vulnerability in Ethereum's blockchain code to steal $60 million. Because of the distributed nature of the blockchain, a certain number of Ethereum's network would have had to agree to rewrite the rules in order to recover the money. Several refused to do so, citing the sanctity of blockchain's immutability.
It was eventually resolved, but the incident left the banking industry cold. A few months later, Accenture developed a way to edit the blockchain, which caused no small amount of controversy among blockchain purists. But the edit feature was welcomed by the financial industry. Before enterprises feel safe entrusting their financial records and other sensitive information to a blockchain, they'll need to see a lot of security advances.
The other big hurdle is the lack of regulation surrounding blockchain. Remember the FBI vs. Apple debacle where the feds wanted the manufacturer to unlock an iPhone used by terrorists in the San Bernardino shooting? The FBI used a 227-year-old statute as the basis of their argument. That's how slowly governments move on new technology.
However important the information on that iPhone, that situation was a lullaby compared to the alarm bells blockchain has set off. Remember, there's no intermediary for blockchain transactions. Banks are subject to federal regulations, but Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not. Further, new advances in blockchain encryption show promise for the ability to hide the origin or destination of the assets exchanged. This all spells trouble for governments trying to collect taxes or institute consumer protection laws.
On the practical side, the infrastructure needed to give a large blockchain such as Bitcoin integrity is massive. Some experts estimate that you'd need more than five megawatts of data center just to track users' currency. Blockchain applications require immense cloud infrastructures, with each transaction conducted as a virtual session within a data center. As blockchain grows, the demand on servers will increase dramatically, necessitating investments in advanced storage solutions such as hyper-converged infrastructure.
The World Economic Forum predicts that by 2025, one-tenth of our GDP will have made its way onto the blockchain. For a nascent technology, that's a bold prediction. But we're living through a period of technological transformation that moves at unprecedented speeds. If you're not already thinking about blockchain, you may already be behind.

Unpublished list reveals Royal Wedding guests
In addition to the politicians on the published list of guests for the Royal Wedding, I have learned that there are also several other politicians on the much longer unpublished list of the bride and groom's personal guests.
Two are MPs, both are Conservatives. They are Nicholas Soames a long-standing friend of Prince Charles, and Rory Stewart, a former tutor to Prince William.
And there is also the former Labour Welsh Secretary Lord (John) Morris, who was invited through being a knight of the garter.
Two other knights of the garter who are former Tory ministers, Lord Carrington and Lord (Richard) Luce, have both been invited, but I've not yet discovered if they're going.
So by my reckoning the party tally of definite attenders is 12 Conservative politicians - Cameron, Osborne, Hague, May, Clarke, Hunt, Alex Fergusson (presiding officer of the Scottish Parliament), Boris Johnson, Judith Warner (Lord Mayor of Westminster), Soames and Stewart. There's just one Lib Dem - Nick Clegg. And three Labour - Ed Miliband, Carwyn Jones, the First Minister of Wales, and Lord Morris.
At a pinch you could say it's four Labour if you include Sally Bercow, wife of the Commons Speaker (and the subject, incidentally, among Conservative MPs as to whether she will tweet "something inappropriate" from the Abbey).
Or perhaps five Labour people if you include John Bercow himself, as one senior Labour figure mischievously suggests I should.

So did Ed Miliband attend the Royal Wedding? The BBC showed David Cameron (several times) and Nick Clegg - but not once did they show Ed Miliband. The Royal Family is supposed to be above politics so this omission by the BBC was not only rude but also a great disservice to the Royal Family - especially as it highlighted the appalling snub to two previous Prime Ministers who happened to be of the Labour Party. A huge shame all-round that spoiled the harmony of a beautiful wedding.

The paperclip house swap
FOR struggling British first-time buyers it would be a dream come true – to turn an everyday household item into a roof over their head.
And thanks to a bright idea, a great deal of perserverance and the power of the internet, a Canadian 26-year-old has managed just that – trading one red paperclip for a house.
But while enterprising Kyle MacDonald, of Montreal, has taken a giant stride towards his goal, he is not quite there yet as the house is only his for a year.
Kyle set off on a quest last July to turn one red paper clip into a house, by swapping it for items that were bigger or better. Unable to afford to buy a house, he decided to work his way up in value until he had a roof over his head.
His latest trade saw him gain a one bedroom bungalow-style home, rent-free for 12-months in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, America, in return for a recording contract he had previously swapped for a 1995 Ford Cube Van.
Kyle wrote on his website: 'I'm pretty jazzed about this - my first foray into real estate. I so don't have any official real estate trading credentials or anything like that. I should probably get myself some business cards, a briefcase, and above all else, a carphone.'
The swift jump up the property ladder came after Kyle's quest seemed to have stalled slightly, with him holding on to the van for two months, however his dedication paid off and he has now made his first move into property.
It arrived after singer/songwriter Jody Gnant decided to give him a year's rent-free use of her apartment in exchange for time in a top-class recording studio and album production with professional engineers.
Kyle now plans to trade up to a house that he owns outright. His success has been built on catching the attention of the North American and global media with his oneredpaperclip website.
Kyle, who hopes one day to get a 'house, or an island, or a house on an island', initially traded his paperclip for a pen in Vancouver, the pen became a doorknob, which was then traded for a portable barbecue, subsequently exchanged for a generator that then became a full beer keg and neon Budweiser sign in New York.
Newspapers, television and radio caught up with Kyle and trades rapidly increased in size and with the arrival of a snowmobile, an all-expense three day trip to British Columbia and then the Ford van.
To find out more about Kyle's progress go to oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com.

"How" or "Why", which one will make you think more?
to provide an effective answer..................
How - indeed. Why - would put me on defensive to protect what I did.
Probably "why": "how" is just how something came to be, like a bit of history. Why, on the other hand, is a deeper question and can go further than just "how". Why did it happen like it did? Why is it affecting me? Why now?
I agree with Blondie. I think most people can learn the "how" about anything. The individuals that always must know "why" or better yet figure out "why" on their own have a large step up in life.
How - Functionality - usually easy to decipher.
Why - Motive - nearly impossible to predict what another person could have been thinking. The answer would have to be WHY.
"How" is factual. Learning about something, and all of the loose ends can be easily tied up.
"Why" is intellectual. It has many different ways to be found, and no one answer can be right.
What I mean to say is, "How" is limited and contained, whilst "Why" is limitless and unchecked.
Why will most probably make you think more. For How, after giving something much thought, you would most probably be acting on your thoughts, satisfy your curiosity, or disregard what you've been thinking of altogether. Why would usually to another Why followed by another Why... possibilities are endless.
For example, Why am I even answering this question? To make a contribution. Why do you want to make a contribution? and so on and so forth...
On the other hand, How do I answer this question? I will wite an outline... after a few hows, you would have written down something or give up.

Managing the contractors
A successful program management effort needs careful cooperation between agency and contractor, and attention to detail and planning. Scott Amey, executive vice president at RS Information Systems Inc., offers some pointers.
* Give each task its own schedule. "A project may have multiple tasks — a lot of our contracts may have anywhere from one to 100 different tasks," Amey said. To keep each task on track, set a schedule, including what needs to be done and who is responsible, along with the start and end dates. Include costs on the schedules, too, Amey said.
* Define performance metrics for every task. The specifics will vary from task to task and contract to contract, but Amey said there are two metrics that always apply: "Are you on time, and are you doing everything according to the budgeted cost?"
n Measure often. Amey recommends a performance evaluation every six months. "You can see if you're hitting the metrics," he said. "If not, the project managers work with the project team to develop an improvement plan." Measure overall customer satisfaction, too, he said. Delivering on time isn't enough if the customer isn't happy.
* Know when to divvy up the work and when to join forces. In general, contractors should supervise their employees, while the agency monitors overall progress, he said. But when a task is intimately tied to the agency's business needs, the two entities should work closely together. Every once in a while, contractors will encounter agency personnel who encroach on the contractor's turf. How should that be handled? "Very carefully," Amey said. "If there is a case where they're overstepping their bounds, in those cases we've gone to the contracting officer."
* Nip problems in the bud. Contractors should make information available to the government as quickly as possible, he said. RSIS is setting up an electronic task order system. Already available on some contracts, it will be available on all of them by the end of the year. "It's really starting to click. That's their primary way of monitoring what's going on," he said.

Congressman Barney Franks's latest attack on the UIGEA - HR6870 Payments System Protection Act - has passed its mark-up stage in the House Financial Services Committee (see previous InfoPowa report) and is on its way to the House, after heated debate and a positive vote of 30 - 19 this week.
The House Financial Services Committee began the markup procedure Tuesday with arch anti-Internet gambling critic Spencer Bachus of Alabama denouncing the measure and extensive debate among several Congressmen both for and against the proposal, which seeks to suspend any regulations of the UIGEA "except to the extent as any such regulation pertains to wagering of the type that is prohibited (as of the date of the enactment of this Act) under chapter 178 of title 28, United States Code (relating to professional and amateur sports protection)."
The bill and an adopted amendment also stops banks and other US financial institutions from allowing betting on professional sports leagues. In addition, the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve are required to work together with an independent Administrative Law Judge to define illegal online gambling.
At one stage Bachus revealed that national sports leagues had informed him that they were in opposition to HR 6870. Congressman and Democrat William Lacy Clay responded, "I'm alarmed that major league sports would come forward to announce their opposition to the bill. I'm puzzled by their stance especially when you have legal sports books in Las Vegas. I can't figure out what the difference is between internet gambling and Las Vegas sports books is."
Turning to the UIGEA itself, Lacy continued: "Sometimes we should be willing to admit when we made a mistake and passed a law that's unenforceable."
Frank criticised the inequity and confusion in US law pertaining to online gambling, again drawing attention to notorious exemptions for horse racing, state lotteries and fantasy sports and commenting that that whether betting on horse racing is legal depends on what department you asked.
He also repeated his oft-stated stance on Internet gambling by commenting: "How people spend their leisure time should not be made illegal or encouraged in a free society. If you're going to [impose restrictions using the UIGEA], you're hijacking the banking system. If this bill is passed, I would still like to repeal the law. Under this bill, at least the banks will know what is and isn't illegal."
An amendment to the bill was introduced by Frank himself, calling for a detailed list from federal authorities within sixty days on what activities are and are not legal under the UIGEA. Federal officials have in the past admitted to some difficulty in this drafting area. The list would be used to provide a guide to financial institutions which Congress has charged with enforcing the UIGEA.
Pressure group the Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative's spokesman Jeffrey Sandman said, "This important vote acknowledges that the previous attempt to prohibit Internet gambling was overly burdensome and unworkable. We hope this vote indicates a willingness of Congress to develop a more sensible approach towards Internet gambling. Rather than prohibit an activity millions of Americans enjoy in the privacy of their homes, just as they can do in a casino, Congress should create a framework to regulate Internet gambling as a way to protect consumers and collect billions in much-needed federal revenue."

1996 FERRARI F355 Spider - £Auction 110000
o Finished in Giallo Modena and Nero with a desirable 6-speed manual gearbox o UK-supplied, right-hand drive showing just 12,200 miles o Offered with a UKV5c and fresh MOT, books and tools o Will have a Ferrari main dealer cambelt service prior to sale The Ferrari F355 is now considered a modern classic, so beautiful, so well-engineered and so well received that it marked the beginning of the end of the old-guard `Ferraristi' philosophy that the only 'real' Ferraris were ones with 12-cylinder engines. The F355 Berlinetta burst onto the world stage in the Spring of 1994, with the Targa GTS and Spider following in 1995. The new car shared almost exactly the same dimensions as its predecessor, the 348, yet it was virtually a new car, as its flowing coachwork indicated. Many hours of wind tunnel testing influenced the harmonious shape which incorporated an F1-style flat bottom with channelled airflow generating enough downforce to offset any lift.The F355's name is derived from its 3.5-litre V8 engineand five valves per cylinder - as denoted by the `Cinquevalvole' inscription on the rocker covers, and this longitudinally mounted power unit generates an impressive 374bhp at a spine-tingling 8250rpm. The con-rods are titanium alloy, the clutch is housed in magnesium alloy, and the Bilstein shock absorbers use electronic sensors to provide active damping. In 1994, the Ferrari F355 was a technological tour de force. Around Ferrari's 1.86 mile Fiorano test track, the F355 was two seconds a lap faster than the 12-cylinder, 512 TR and that level of performance, combined with its sensational shape, ensured its success on the world stage.This particular example is a 1996 Ferrari F355 Spider supplied by Maranello Sales on 2nd August 1996 to its first owner, a Mr M. Cale of Harrow, Middlesex. Finished in Giallo Modena with a Nero interior, this striking car is fitted with the more desirable manual gearbox and was specified from new with air conditioning, a stereo CD player, and black brake callipers.Theservice book records six stamps from main dealers and marque specialists as follows: o JCT 600 @ 3,982 miles - 20th February 1998 o JCT 600 @ 5,604 miles - 26th September 2001 o JCT600 @ 6,172 miles - 16th October 2002 o JCT 600 @ 7,084 miles - 10th October 2004 o Nick Cartwright @ 7,725 miles - 22nd December 2005 o Shiltech @ 10,515 miles - 15th September 2008Its previous owner took the Ferrari to the Channel Islands in 2014 where it enjoyed many hours of Guernsey sunshine, however, it has since returned to the mainland and prior to the sale will have been fully UK registered, gaining a UK V5c, along with receiving a full cambelt service at a Ferrari Main Dealer and a fresh MOT. Supplied with its original handbooks in their leather wallet and its toolkit, this highly sought-after, 6-speed manual F355 Spider is now showing an incredibly low 12,200 miles and is undoubtedly one of the finest 355s currently on the market.

Bangalla may be a bit hard to find as it goes from "near India" to "coast of Africa" depending on the story.
Looking forward to it!
Even freed from responsibility, Jack is not entirely irresponsible.
Evidently, Dudley's singing is like poorly tuned bagpipes.
Did it last weekend, barely. Even using the free online software, it took two hours and gave me a throbbing headache.
About two months, I am guessing.
In Gene Luen Yang's "The Shadow Hero" our hero's power is explicitly "don't get shot."
Gabby Hayes (whose character Blowhard is based on) played older than he was for many years.
So this is going to be a "Vor" scene?

Past Meetup
Memphis In May World Championship BBQ Contest Team
This Meetup is past
6 people went
Great news - our club has been offered the chance to be part of a competition team participating in this year's Memphis in May BBQ Festival (May 16-19th, 2013). The team, "Too Sauced to Pork" is made up of bbq fans from around the world. The only downside is that they have to submit thier team registration by the end of the month so they need RSVP's as soon as possible. I have already registered myself and wanted to see who else is in for this great opportunity.
Please read the description and if you are sure you want to be part of the team let me know ASAP as the team have to submit its list to the festival on Friday March 1st. I want to get our club list to Neil by Thursday so we can make the cut off date. I will send you the registration form via email and you can submit and pay the team dues direct to the team.
After we determine who is going we can get together (probably for a BBQ dinner) and work out carpooling, hotel, etc... Should be a great weekend of bbq and music.
I am planning on a side trip Saturday morning to Clarksdale, MS which is about an hour or so south of Memphis to visit the Delta Blue Museum and see the crossroads where Robert Johnson "sold his soul" to the devil to be the best bluesman of his day. Memphis is a great town to visit and play. The best part of being part of the team is that you can spend as much time as you want in the team booth helping prep and cook the food for the competition or you can just hang out and eat great BBQ. Its up to you.
Here is the Team Details:
The Memphis in May World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest is an amazing sight to behold. The sweet smell of hickory hangs thick in the air. Team booths (some 3 levels tall) line the mile long park. Over 100,000 people flock to this Mecca of BBQ every year to eat, drink, and worship at the altar of swine.
The contest, also known as WCBCC, or as it is called by the locals, BBQ Fest, is a battle between more than 250 BBQ teams from across the globe. Held every year on the third weekend in May, Thursday thru Saturday, it is certified by Guinness as the "World's Largest Pork BBQ Contest". Believe it or not, over the course of three days, over 84 tons of pork are cooked and consumed.
For the Average Joe there is a huge drawback to the festival, teams are not allowed to sell or give out samples to the general public. Due to Health Code regulations the teams can only give food and beverages to members and invited guests. The best way to experience the contest is on a team, or at least in a team booth, otherwise you will be on the outside looking in. Now you can join in the fun and be part of our winning BBQ competition team: "Too Sauced To Pork"
TSTP started off as Swinebucks BBQ in 2005. Neil was a store manager at Starbucks, and was grinding coffee turkish for a customer one day in 2004 when he noticed an odd similarity. The Turkish coffee he was grinding had the same consistency and feel as ground paprika. Eureka! Espresso BBQ rub and sauce. Neil and Mike were cooking on other teams, and had always wanted to start one of their own. Neil called Blake, Eric, and Dave and along with Schatzi and Mike, Swinebucks BBQ was born.
In 2008 Neil left Starbucks Coffee, and we all began the search for a new name that fit our team. Neil was with his girlfriend (now wife) Melissa on Goat Island above Niagara Falls when sweet nectar flowed from her lips, "You guys are always too sauced to pork" Lightning shot across the sky, a thunderous roar of applause sounded from the heavens as the angels began a song…that was it… TOO SAUCED TO PORK.
We have won over 20 awards and have placed top ten over 40 times in our short history. Including first place wins at Memphis in May, Goat Days, and Smokin Aces just to name a few. We have Cooks in charge of each category...but we need people to help and assist them in competition, cooks to help Marc and Neil prepare lunches and dinners, and of course people to hang out, learn new tricks from, and talk bbq with all week ;-)
Why is this team different from other BBQ Teams…
We believe in inclusion instead of exclusion. We give people from all over the world the chance to join the team for Memphis in May. In 2011 we had members from 23 states and 3 foreign countries on the team, all united by their love of BBQ.

Rice anthropologist weighs in on veterans' life after the fighting ends
Published 3:00 pm, Tuesday, November 10, 2015
What's life really like for soldiers after the fighting ends? Rice anthropologist Zoë Wool is available to discuss this topic, which is the subject of her recent book, "After War."
In the book, Wool explores how America's most severely injured soldiers struggle to return to ordinary life while recovering from extraordinary wounds at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. She said that one of the real challenges for soldiers is living up to the stereotype most Americans believe - the idea all soldiers are pro-government "patriots" who support their government and military, no questions asked.
"In the U.S., there is no compulsory military service and, since 1973, no draft," Wool said. "Soldiers inhabit a public imaginary that - especially in times of national anxiety - binds them to an exceptional form of personhood inflected with heroism and patriotic commitment."
Wool, an assistant professor of anthropology, said that over the course of her fieldwork, she realized that this traditional American profile of a soldier and what motivates him to serve his country is not always consistent with who soldiers actually are and their political views.

"Unfortunately, if a soldier doesn't live up to this stereotype, it can affect how he is treated, both by veterans organizations and the public at large," she said.
Wool noted that a number of veterans she worked with actually felt uncomfortable with the amount of attention they received for their "heroic" behavior.
"The guys I spent time with made it clear that being a soldier was their job — a job unlike others in many ways, but they thought of their injuries as having happened as part of their job, rather than being the outcome of patriotic sacrifice," Wool said. "While glad to have recognition denied their Vietnam-era counterparts, they felt guilt when receiving special treatment or excessive attention couched in the language of gratitude and sacrifice."
For more information or to schedule an interview with Wool, contact Amy McCaig, senior media relations specialist at Rice, at 713-348-6777 or email@example.com.

Santa Fe Farmers Market
The Santa Fe Farmers Market, held Saturdays and most Tuesdays from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm year round, is a must-see for Southwestern food lovers. The market began back in the late 60s and has grown to become one of the most popular farmers markets in the country. There are over 150 vendors here, where you can also find beautiful chile (green and red)—ready to be used in your favorite dishes. Buskers and other performers make the atmosphere lively and tastings of local honeys, jams, spreads, and other goodies are available. Nearby, the Santa Fe School of Cooking will teach you what to do with the chile you've purchased. They also have a well-stocked shop with gifts that are perfect for the chef in your family, from cookbooks to a selection of "santos" figurines of the patron saint of the kitchen, Saint Pasqual.

It has a two car carport, full a/c in the cabin, two gas fireplaces (one in living room, one in master bedroom). Fully stocked kitchen with dishes, glassware, flatware, pots and pans, microwave, full stove, medium sized refrigerator. Charcoal grill outside. Easy access to Gatlinburg, Hartford, Newport, and Sevierville.
This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
My husband and I have been going to the mountains for quiet getaways for over 35 years, and I can honestly say this was one of our most favorite places. Beautiful rustic cabin, wonderful natural surroundings, clean! I loved the decor and the porch and all the sliding glass doors where you could hear the sounds of the brook! Definitely looking forward to our next trip. This is the first place we weren't ready to leave
Cabin was rustic and clean. Our boys loved playing in the creek and we loved the porch! Great get away overall.
Very nice cabin in a great setting. The only problem we had was the kitchen sink had very poor drainage. Other that that, it was fabulous.
We enjoyed being in such a quiet setting. Tammi was a great host, brought us more water, etc. We weren't really thrilled with the layout. Didn't know ahead of time that there was no bathroom on the second floor. We and our friends are older and find it difficult and inconvenient to have to come downstairs in the middle of the night. Also, it was difficult to get into the bed downstairs -- so high. The kitchen was very well equipped, except for the lack of a dishwasher.
It was really nice that there was a Christmas tree. Thanks.
This cabin is the perfect relaxation spot but still close enough to go on some adventures!
The cabin was perfect. It was so quiet and peaceful. You could open the bedroom doors and hear the babbling brook right next to the cabin. It was also close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. You could not have asked for a better location. I would highly recommend this place if you want to be away from the crowd. Hope to go back again in the spring.
