We had a great stay. We saw bear daily and our host was responsive. Check in was easy, kitchen was stocked. The location was great. It was fairly clean except for under the beds and furniture were pretty dirty. We would stay again.
The size of the property, number of bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our entire family. We cooked in the large kitchen everyday and also used the gas grill out on the deck. Walking distance to Gatlinburg, we spent a couple days in town checking out the sites.We also were able to see 2 black bears on the property which was a treat for the adults and kids to see one up close.
This place was so perfect for us. Everybody had their own bedroom which included tvs and couches so they could get away from the chaos if they had to. The layout of the house is awesome and perfect for a large group. The game room kept everybody entertained for hours on rainy days. We had a blast!
We have stayed here multiple times. It is always wonderful. Perfect location to walk to downtown yet still feels secluded. Always fun to see the bears.
Perfect pet friendly house. The fenced yard was great to keep bears out and dogs inâŠone evening the dogs and Bear âvisitedâ thru the fence! Another evening the bear came strolling thru the fire pit area! The kitchen is well stocked with all you could need. My husband said the hot tub was wonderful. The location of this house is so convenient to downtown Gatlinburg. Definitely can walk everywhere. Yet itâs near a portion of the forest so you do not feel like you are in the hub bub busyness of downtown. We also liked the arcade and pool table when we were not exploring the great outdoors!
A great time with kids and grandkids. The house was great and we really appreciated the close proximity to the main area of Gatlinburg, access to easy hiking trails, etc.
My friends and I (16 adults) all fit very comfortably in this wonderful home! The walk to get to downtown couldn't have been easier, communication with the property manager was timely and clear, and anytime we stayed at the house all of the amenities we could have wanted were available! Couldn't recommend more!!
Property is as listed, very spacious. Could use a little updating. The furniture is pretty worn, and the pool table/stick holder are well used and in need of some repairs. None of those things made our time any less enjoyable! Cabin is very close to Downtown Gatlinburg, and we were very easily able to walk to all the attractions/shops, so we didn't have to pay for parking. We could see the drone display and fireworks with a very short walk to the end of the street and didn't have to fight any crowds. The owners were very quick to respond to any needs or concerns. We definitely plan on booking again, would love to stay during the fall to see all the beautiful colors.
We absolutely loved this cabin. Its proximity to the strip and the tram to Ober make it very easy to get around. We are already planning next years trip back to this cabin.
Perfect for dog children-open the door to a fenced yard. I'd keep an eye on them. It's not if it's when the bears show. Very easy to zip into the park from here and close enough to walk to several good restaurants. Very nicely equipped. Everything you might need and everything worked. It is not scary to drive to or park. Just book and enjoy.
This location was with in walking distance to town, has a lot of games to keep you entertained, very spacious living space, kitchen has pretty much all appliances you will need as well as dinner ware, really enjoyed our stay. the host was easily accessible and very friendly
15 of us stayed at this property. The location is fabulous and there is a lot of elbow room. The game room was a lot of fun. It's very close to downtown Gatlinburg. We saw a bear, two coyotes, and lots of birds right from the deck. The azaleas are beautiful in May. Across the street is a classy little bar that served creative and delicious drinks. Two cautions: the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit are broken and unstable. Also, if you have a larger group and need more than 4 beds, bringing your own air mattresses would be the way to go.
House was perfect for a family trip to Gatlinburg. Location made it easy to drive into the park without having to go through all the traffic in downtown. Easy drive to and from downtown.
Rented this property so that we could walk around the area instead of paying for parking. Worked out well. Only rough part was that last 600 ft up the hill ;)
Overall, our experience was great! The hosts are responsive to messages. When we arrived, we found one of the beds had dirty linens. They sent the cleaners over with new ones quickly. The cabin needs a good deep clean. Thereâs a lot of dust on ceiling fans and bathrooms vents, which aggravated allergies. We wish there wouldâve been a vacuum cleaner available during our stay since itâs pet-friendly. We wouldâve been happy to clean more before we checked out. The washer doesnât spin clothes out well so it takes FOREVER to dry clothes. It made doing laundry here an inconvenience with 11 people who needed to wash towels and clothing during our stay, but itâs definitely not a deal breaker. There is erosion netting in the yard, and we had to free several snakes from it during our stay. So be extra aware if traveling with young children and pets. Our dog was nipped on the nose by a trapped snake, but thankfully it wasnât venomous. We know wildlife is a part of the Smokies, but that could likely be prevented if the netting wasnât in the yard, so just be cautious when in the yard. It was nice to have a working gas grill. The kids loved the game room, and the cabin is a perfect walking distance to the strip. Be bear aware, though, when walking. We saw a bear on the road on our way back one evening, and we had one try to get into our UTV in the driveway. There was plenty of room for 11 of us, and it was nice to be able to bring our pets. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay despite the few
We love Gatlinburg and love spending time with family and friends at Homespun and hope you get just as much enjoyment out of it as we do. We really enjoy sharing our home and giving everyone the chance to experience the Smoky's.
Homespun has a large fenced in yard good for kids or fur babies nestled in the heart of Gatlinburg. Its a 10 minute walk to downtown Gatlinburg and backs up to 13 acres of woods. You have all the conveniences of being in town but it doesn't feel like your in town. And did I forget to mention that bears come to visit also!!
