My family and I loved the view and location of the cabin. We enjoyed watching the bears. However, we were disappointed about the cleanliness of the cabin. The floors were not clean. Also cabins we have stayed in before provided hand soaps,fushwash
Cabin was nice and clean, all of what we expected, steep drive in on both road and driveway but other then that everything was great. Even got greeted by some bears the first morning!
I took a family of 12 (from 68 years to 6 years) to stay for 4 days⊠this cabin was big enough that we never felt cramped, yet we were able to enjoy our time together. We loved the hot tub, pool table, and bear sightings!! All of the necessities were there and it was super close to everything! We will definitely be back!!!
The cabin had enough room for all 7 of us. The host was very attentive. But the overall condition of the cabin was nothing to be excited about. We had to have cleaners and a plumber come the first day. And an exterminator a few days later. No roaches or bed bugs. But LOTS of flies in the basement bathroom I told them the outside trash was full from us. It was supposed to be picked up but wasnât. So we had to have multiple bags of trash left in the kitchen. The pool table was broken. I really should have paid attention to the last few reviews. Not sure where the new fire pit was. The only thing we seen by the house was an open area with a fire pit and old picnic table. The fridge had no shelves. And the bathroom/tub area had black mold. Could be why my husband has been sick for 3 days. We did stay the full 7 days so I would never ask for a refund but maybe the cleaning fee refunded would be nice.
Our family stayed here for spring break this week and we absolutely loved our time in this cabin. The three main rooms each having their own bathrooms was a huge plus with 3 families sharing the cabin! The kids enjoyed waking up to find bear tracks and enjoyed the campfire at night. Would definitely recommend staying here.
We had a great experience on our vacation. The location was great, tucked up away in the mountains! The house fit our entire party and everyone had a bed to sleep in. Having the three bathrooms were great, and a bonus of having a washer and dryer were perfect. We would rent this property again.
The cabin was really nice the location is speechless, watching the bears outside the cabin was really unique experience for all of us..
highly recommended to my friends.. Can't wait to comeback again..
The property was perfect for our group of 13! A family of bears stopped by several times - it was awesome to see. Nice to have three levels to separate and a big deck to have meals and coffee in the morning.
The cabin is big with plenty of space. Itâs just outside of town (a short 10 minute drive up fun mountain roads), so itâs close enough that youâre not traveling too far and far enough that you get peace and quiet. The views from the front and back are beautiful.
Michael, the host, was super nice and accommodating. Weâll definitely be staying there on our next trip!
The property owner was very professional and respectful. He was also very informative about the surrounding areas. The house was an awesome place to stay with a great view. I wish the star level went up to 10. Thank you again for an awesome experience and we will definitely be coming back.
Property was in great location between gatlinburg and pigeon forge. However, this property can use some tlc. Kitchen was old and most of everything is pretty run down and old. It was also a little dirty and carpet had some stains, there was cob webs on some of the ceiling areas and it was dusty. This is in no way shape or form a luxury rental, it is more of a rustic log cabin. It is tight for 12 adults and the living room area is pretty small. The host however is a delight, very nice and communicative ! I would stay here again if it is cleaned better and there is less people in my party.
Awesome cabin! Exactly what we needed for our family vacation!
The pictures and descriptions are 100% accurate, but really donât do it justice! The views of the sunrise and sunset are amazing. There are so many conveniences, and communication with the owner was easy. It is very conveniently located to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and all the attractions of the Smokies. We had guests ranging from 1 to 41, and everyone had plenty of space, comfortable beds, etc. If we find our way down there again soon, weâll definitely stay again!
Property was as described. View was beautiful from patio and back deck. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 teenagers. 15 minutes from Gatlinburg/25 minutes from Pigeon Forge. Close to National Park and all activities. Michael was a great host and responded quickly to all messages.
We celebrated our parents 50th wedding anniversary and had the best time! We traveled with 2 teens and they loved the pool table, video games, and hot tub! It was peaceful on top of the mountain! If you love nature and want to see bears I highly recommend. We were visited by a bear family at least once if not twice per day! We enjoyed Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Cades Cove, Dollywood, and River Rat Tubing! So much to do within driving distance! They just added a 4th bedroom, so there is more than enough room for a multi-family trip. We will definitely be back and hopefully soonđ
Great cabin with all of the mountain amenities you would expect from the Smokies. We were a crew of 11 and 2 Golden Retrievers and had plenty of space to roam and relax! The views were beautiful and the host was very friendly! The only concern I personally had was the steep incline of the driveway. It can get a little scary driving down the driveway if you are not in a truck or suv. Other than that we had a great time and made some wonderful Christmas memories here! I would highly recommend and would rent this cabin again! Thanks!
Overall it was great! Exactly what we were looking for but also was close to many things to do in the area (even if it didnât feel like it).
My only real knocks are: there were some cobwebs and spiders but to be fair when youâre in the woods thatâs going to happen. And all the bathrooms were through bedrooms. Luckily this wasnât an issue for us but I could see it being one for others.
Teenagers loved the lower level with the game room as well as the hot tub. The additional loft room was wonderful as well! There space for folks to disperse but it is also small enough to have everyone close and spend time together.
Plenty of bear activity, which was awesome!
This is an easy recommendation for me, Iâd suggest this to anyone looking for a cabin.
Our party had four teenagers, six adults and one young child and it was perfect.
We enjoyed this cabin tremendously! We booked this cabin for my in laws 50th wedding anniversary trip to the smoky mountains and it did not disappoint. We were 12 people total - 6 adults, 5 teens, and one seven year old. The cabin had a space for each of us to enjoy. The teens stayed downstairs and loved their space away from the adults. The pool table and video games were a definite plus. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. We loved sitting on the porch enjoying the view. The kitchen is small but has everything you need to cook meals, which we did everyday. We were worried that weâd be running into each other but we were very pleasantly surprised with the space - everyone had space to be together or just chill alone. The driveway has been mentioned as steep and I will say that if you are from flatland like my sister in law and not used to hills or mountains, you will think itâs too steep. Weâve traveled and driven through mountains and for us the drive way is a piece of cake. By the end of the week the flat landers were pros! I canât wait to come back!
Extremely Private and away from everyone but right in between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge
Even though Mountain Dreams did not have many reviews, I have stayed at one of Michael's other properties in the past so I knew this one was going to be good as well. Since I was a return guest I reached out to him to find out if he had any availability somewhere. He told me about this property and I booked. WOW! Im so glad I did.
The view from the back of the property was AMAZING and it was so private. Michael has just put in a new deck in the back and it was perfect for hanging out and watching the kids explore. This cabin backs up to the actual National Park so there was NOTHING but mountains to look at.
With the scare of viruses and everything I specifically wanted something NOT in a subdivision and this fit the bill perfectly. The cabin was clean and inviting.
My kids could not believe he had a playstation and it had TONS of online games. Unfortunately it rained most of the time we were there so the games made it OK.
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mountain Dreams. Michael is a great owner. Ive staid at "Best of Both Worlds" twice and now I am torn. Both are amazing.
This property was perfect for our family vacation. There was plenty of space for everyone and it had everything we needed. The location was great as well. We felt like we were centrally located to everything we wanted to see and do. Michael was great to work with and very responsive. We would absolutely stay at this property again if we are back in thr area.
Cabin was great. Had a few items that I communicated with the owner. Only down side was the floors was dirty. Cleaning crew needs to tighten up on this. The mop they left to clean with was filthy. Was going to vacuum the carpet, but no vacuum cleaner was found. Only down side is cleaning needs to be a little better. First night we was there was walking around in our sock feet was black like we had been walking outside. Also had to unstop tub on main floor was full of hair.
