My family and I just returned from our stay and wanted to share some thoughts while they were fresh in my mind. Communication with the owner was great from reservation through checkout. We arrived at the cabin on the first day and a mama bear and her cubs were waiting for us. We waited in the car for them to move on a safe distance and got plenty of video and pics. In over 40 years of coming to Gatlinburg I had never seen a bear in the wild. Our kids will no doubt remember this for the rest of their lives. We unloaded and everything was as described or better. We were back and forth between several cabins before settling on this one and our 10 year old twins were bummed that we didnât choose the cabin with the full size video game system. Imagine their surprise (and ours!) when we found a full size video game system loaded with hundreds of games for them to play. Additionally, this cabin has the only perfectly flat pool table Iâve ever had in a cabin Iâve rented. All of our kids got much better at pool over a few days and they loved the foosball table as well. Bedrooms and bathrooms were large and comfortable, kitchen had everything you could need, and the hot tub was terrific. This cabin wasnât advertised as having great mountain views and it doesnât. However, you feel like youâre secluded even though there are other cabins nearby. Even without the views we enjoyed spending time on the decks. Iâd definitely stay here again.
I recently stayed at this cabin for a week with my sister in law and our combined four kids. It was absolutely perfect! The cabin provided all the amenities we needed to be able to relax and hang out on our days we werenât going into Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. From the many games to the hot tub and just plain scenery, it was amazing. I would highly recommend this cabin for your next stay! The host is also very responsive and helped us right away anytime I had a question prior to our stay and during. I would absolutely stay here again and again.
Close to trails and all tourist activities. Incredible views. Easy check in and check out. Lots of bears! Excellent communication from host. Would definitely go back!
This place is beautiful! Fully enjoyed the spaciousness, and fully stocked kitchen, bathroomsâŠ..so much to do there you donât even really need to leave! Large capacity hot tub, cornhole, pool, pinball, foosball, darts, grill, plenty of outside seating! Detailed area directions and tips/tricks in a binder right inside, access to 3 pools in resort areaâŠ..beautiful views!!! I canât rave enough and this is my 5th cabin rental. Owner is extremely niceâŠ..oh, and the cabin is also stocked with strollers! They have literally thought of everything! Well worth the money and travel! Will book again in the future!
Everything was perfect from check in, cleanliness, stocked items, location, view- you name it. We enjoyed every minute of the cabin. My daughter got engaged on the back deck. We will remember this place forever !!
We had an amazing Mini Vacation with our Family! The property is tucked back on a mountaintop with great views and we were provided with everything we needed. We were even entertained by a mama bear and her 3 cubs while we were there :) We will be making a trip back in the near future! Highly Recommend!
What a great property to get away! This was our 1st time to the Smokey Mountains and we did not want to leave. The drive up the mountain was a bit intimidating but we tackled with no problems! We had one small issue with the master shower draining, but the property manager jumped right on it and had it fixed by the time we returned from our adventures the next day. We could not have asked for more!
Great house, well stocked, comfortable beds. The road to the house is quite steep if you aren't used to driving in the mountains, but it is well maintained and completely manageable. I would definitely stay here again!!
This cabin did not disappoint! We throughly enjoyed our stay! The game room was a hit (along with the hot tub). View was amazing. Not far from Gatlingburg or grocery stores. John was alway quick to answer any questions. Thanks John! Oh did I mention the bear that decided to visit us???
We had a fantastic time at the cabin. The drive and views were incredible, and the cabin was fully equipped with all the amenities we needed. John was always just a message away and very responsive to any questions we had.
This cabin was gorgeous. It was perfect for our family of 5 getaway. Upon pulling onto the road the cabin is on we were greeted by a momma bear and her 2 cubs! Check in was seamless. The cabin has everything you need. The kitchen was well stocked. I would only recommend adding some glass cookware that is microwavable such as corningware as the stove gets full when making a big meal. We arrived about 2 weeks after Hurricane Helene and the area was under a boil water advisory. John was great at giving us updates and provided gallons of drinking water. There were also empty 5-gallon buckets which we filled with water just in case the water was shut off for more repair work while we were there. Thankfully, the advisory was lifted just a couple days after arrival. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the cabin and loved the overall layout. The cabin is a little loud due to its openness and all wood floors (which were gorgeous!) We enjoyed the cornhole on the deck on the nice days. The owner was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Check out was easy and there wasn't a mile long list of check out instructions as there are with other properties we have used. The kids enjoyed playing pool, darts, and the hot tub. I would recommend bringing your own extra plastic dart tips as we could not find any in the Gatlinburg area. The showers on the main and third level are amazing. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
Our stay was awesome. A lot of anxiety a week after the hurricane but John was the best host in keeping us informed about water issues after the hurricane and made extra accommodations for us to meet our needs. He provided a large supply of bottled water for us that he didnât have to do. It was so greatly appreciated. In the end water was no issue. The cabin is beautiful and was perfect for us-the layout provided great common areas along with privacy. All the extra incidentals provided were a bonus! Hot tub great! Beds very comfortable. Location was away from the business of tourism but peaceful and not too far to get into Gatlinburg regularly. We highly recommend the cabin and will definitely be back. We saw several bear and the aurora borealis. Beautiful!! The host is the best weâve had. Thank you John!
My wife Melanie and I are from Dayton, Ohio. After visiting the Smoky Mountains, we fell in love with the area and the endless activities. Our favorite thing to do there is hiking to one of the many waterfalls. The frequent sightings of bears playing with their cubs keeps us coming back.
The neighborhood is perfect for taking walks on the roads and observing the wildlife. The maintenance team does a great job of immediately plowing the roads to keep them clear in the winter.
