Absolutely beautiful stay from start to finish. The home was spotless, pleasantly decorated, and even better than the photos. The location was perfect — peaceful, convenient, and close to everything we wanted to do. About 8 min to downtown and 8 min to national park entrance, then about 15 min to Pigeon Forge attractions. The beds were very very comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, and every detail made the place feel welcoming.The host was outstanding: responsive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Check-in was seamless, and communication was excellent throughout the trip.We especially loved the outdoor space and how relaxing the entire property felt. We were able to enjoy the pickleball course and pool —great clubhouse facilities. There is also a nice hike along a creek only minutes away. It truly felt like a stress free vacation. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. Five stars all around!

Everything stood out for us. The directions to get there were very easy. The view was exactly what we thought it would be and the sunrise was out of this world. Beautiful memories in a beautiful place Had to use the bear blow horn one time…they were everywhere and the horn really works. We had to be aware they were there. Beautiful animals indeed

Great cabin with all the amenities!

This cabin was awesome! The owners have thought of all details from the perfect family games to include to high end finishes, decor and comfy furniture and blankets. I have been to rentals where these things were skimped on and this was not the case here. We are big on having a clean rental and they did a great job cleaning! Amazing views and we enjoyed the firepit and hot tub so much! Thanks again for the great accommodations!

PERFECT!

This house was everything and more than what we could have hoped for with our group! 5 stars for bedroom setup (2 kings!), game room, cleanliness, organization, property management communication, location...it had it all! It was our oasis from the very busy city center. And we greatly appreciated the Christmas decor--it got us ready for the holidays and even inspired me to decorate when we got home. Thank you for an amazing mini getaway!

Amazing!!!

This is the first time our family stayed in a cabin and it didn’t disappoint!! We normally stay on the strip, but wanted to try something new. This cabin was spectacular!! It was beautifully decorated, extremely clean, comfortable, had amazing views, and had enough room for everyone to spread out. The kids enjoyed all the games. The drive to the cabin was easy and close to downtown Gatlinburg. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back to this cabin again soon. Thanks for the memories!

Beautiful!

My family and I loved this house and the location. It was quiet and secluded with a great view from the top floor. We saw several bears in the area including a mama bear with 3 cubs. My only suggestion would be to get blackout/room darkening shades for the bedrooms especially the master. The sun comes up and shines directly through them at 6am and fully lighting up the room. Otherwise we loved it!

Delightful! Best Cabin in Gatlinburg 😊

We come to the area often and were simply glad to have found this jewel. Extremely clean and comfortable with beautiful views. I was skeptical about booking when I read something about the HVAC, but there are 2 units in the home and temperature was not a problem at all. VERY comfortable beds for a restful sleep. Well equipped kitchen and a lot of attention to detail towards guest comfortable stay (throws, pillows, coffee maker upstairs, etc); and towards guest safety (Outdoor security cámara, bear barrier at lower level balcony for safe bear sightings). Gaming room was great for family bonding—great for all ages.Great stay! ♥️

Mountain vacation

This cabin was amazing. The views were spectacular and the cabin smelled brand new! Everything was clean and just as listed in the pictures online! The host was fast and super responsive to any questions or issues we had which was very helpful and much appreciated. We had a couple bear sightings while on our trip which was so exciting to see from our balcony. This cabin is in a perfect location to where you still feel like you’re in a quiet part of nature but yet you’re not too far from all the places we wanted to explore in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The host has went above and beyond on this big gem!! We’d definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking to stay in Gatlinburg.

Amazing Smoky Mountain Sunrise

This cabin had it all for our family! There was plenty of space for all of us! The game/movie room was perfect for the kids and adults alike, and the multiple deck levels provided ample space for everything we needed. The Host was amazing to work with during our stay. Cabin was fully equipped and very clean. The only issue we had was the checkin/checkout times listed on VRBO did not align with the actual times. However, this was minor and VRBO and the Host were working together on correcting this. The drive up the mountain is steeper than I would have thought, but then again, when you are staring at the top of a mountain sunrise, how else do you get up that high?! :)

Great stay with little complaint!

Only 3 minor complaints: 1-Downstairs bedroom needs better blinds for window. There is a street light that shines very brightly through the cheap (& too small) miniblinds at night. 2-Need more washcloths. They only provide 6 for a house that sleeps 8. We stayed 5 nights and shouldn't have had to run washer every night just for washcloths. 3-Keurig water reservoir was dirty inside (buildup). Other than those minor inconveniences, we really enjoyed our stay! Hot tub was wonderful...host was very responsive & friendly!
