Amazing stay. We had a momma bear and her 3 cubs show up at the house everyday we were there. The bears did try to get in the house a few times so make sure to lock all doors. It was a little sketchy loading the car this morning and i turned around and they were 10 feet from me. House is perfect for a family. The game room is excellent and we are probably going to make it a tradition to stay at this once a year. Only issue we had was that it needs more pots and pans. Other than that everything was perfect.

Our extended family of 15 had a great stay. Ages 3-76. The house was a good size for all of us. Good layout.The house was clean and well kept, just some minor flaws along base of showers, dated bathrooms, but it was a non issue. One of the king beds was very squeaky. The game room was fun. Unfortunately, the jukebox box doesn’t work, that would’ve been nice if it had. PAC Man & mortal combat as well as the dart board were a hit. Pool is 10 min away. 4 cars can fitThere was no stopper in the kitchen sink to hand wash dishes. Also, the can opener didn’t work. Thankfully, we borrowed from a neighbor. They need hot pads! Please get someBEARS! We knew we may see bears, but we saw SO many! Keep your doors locked-1 of them tried to come into the house- actually pulled the handle of the door and opened it. Quick thinking and my mom had the big interior door closed before it could come fully in. Keep your car doors locked. They can open them! They should consider a number lock on the trash bins as we watched 2 different bears get into the trash. We cleaned it up. You will definitely see bears at this house- very cool- just be aware. The drive up to the house was an adrenaline rush every time! Very steep roads and hairpin turns in places. I was thankful every time we made it up and down the mountain. Great time. Owners were responsive and helpful. Hose broke on washer- so no hot water one night-came out that night to fix it before we left the next day! So thankful.

This cabin needs a lot and I mean a lot of TLC. Water damaged floors in the kitchen and downstairs. There is an ant infestation and it wasn't because we left food out or had dirty counters as I travel with Lysol wipes. So it was obvious the owners knows because there was raid under the sink. We also saw two mice. The doors look like they have not been wiped off in ages. The bathrooms all need work. None of the electrical outlets in the second bedroom worked. I tried to run the vacuum before we left and it wouldn't pick up anything. I have pictures to backup my statements. Definately not worth the 6 grand, which included fees, I paid for 6 nights. This was cabin while it had a beautiful view and was spacious that is about all I can say positive about it.

I think the location and size of the house are excellent. You drive maybe 10-15 minutes get there from downtown Gatlinburg. The roads are a little scary if you aren't used to them so be prepared, you're going up that mountain. The house is big, parking is convenient, and you are secluded but still close to town. Unfortunately, the house needs a LOT of TLC. I'm going to list out the issues that we came across.-The house was clean but not spotless. There was one long piece of dust hanging from the ceiling when we arrived and a dead bug inside the shower.-The floors are water damaged in the kitchen and it's obvious. There's a wave to the floor as you walk through it.-There were ants in the kitchen on the counter surrounding the sink and dishwasher. There did appear to be a trap under the sink. It wasn't working, they got our donuts.-The house lacked supplies. The message we got said they give "starter packs" of toilet paper/towels and soap but it was barely that. There wasn't even enough towels for all of us to shower. I get the message of trying to save the environment but I think when I'm paying for a week of rental it should include everything. The pans in the kitchen were in rough shape, I think we had two useable pans.There's a previous review that mentions these things. We saw it before we went but it wasn't there when we booked. A reply said it was being looked into but 6 months later, nothing has changed. If these issues were fixed it could be 10/10.
