According to my family I’ve set the bar high w/ this vacation & it will be hard to top.1st this rental was perfect for me, my husband, & 2 kids. After a long 9 hr drive we walked in & it smelled amazing, so clean. The AC was a perfect temp on a hot day & we all immediately felt at home. It’s beautifully decorated w/ a subtle mountain vibe but not over the top. My kids also loved the more modern mountain feel. My son immediately ran to the front patio & sat in an egg chair. I was surprised at how comfy & relaxing the chairs were. We arrived later than planned so the 1st night we got pizza from the papa John’s within walking distance of the cottage & ate at the dining table then enjoyed the hot tub which was the perfect temp. Then we all slept like babies. The cottage had everything we needed. Bedding was perfect with extra pillows and blankets available. The owner even provided toiletries on the bathroom shelf which was a thoughtful touch. The area is amazing! While there we shopped til we dropped in downtown Gatlinburg, took a helicopter tour of the mountains which was breathtaking, walked the sky bridge, went water water rafting, and took an atv up the mountain and zip lined down. This trip was all about adventure & checking off the family bucket list. The area has tons of amusement attractions, games, and museums, but it also has lots of adventure which is what we did. We made memories to last a lifetime and I have to agree w/ my family. This one will be hard to top!
