Beautiful home is as described in photos. The view from the back deck is awesome, watch the Ober Mountain Tram glide by (you won't get this view as the leaves come back)
The ride up the hill is a little daunting, especially if you meet oncoming vehicles, but after a few ups and downs you get the hang of it. All wheel or four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended. Bring your groceries with you, as much as you can, there is a WalMart about 30 minutes away. Save yourself time and money and bring groceries or stop at the WalMart or food city on your way in. We enjoyed the pool table, hot tub and just watching the horizon on the porch. Close by you can drive to the top of Ober Mtn, pay $10 to park and another $30 or $50 for either unlimited rides on the tram or the whole park. We did both on separate days. If you are going to the park, arrive before they open. The coaster line is a minimum of an hour wait if you arrive after 12pm. It is fun, but takes a lot of your time by waiting in line. The scenic lift to the top of the lookout is gorgeous, that view was probably worth the $50 price tag. We rode from the bottom to the top twice. Riding the tram down the mountain into Gatlinburg is very cool as well. Sometimes it is crowded, sometimes it is empty either way it has great views.
Mike is a great host and will give you suggestions about places to go and things to do. Overall I would return again for vacation.
