This property has beautiful views and is clean and well kept. The vistas are breathtaking and you can clearly see why the mountains are named the Great Smokies. The hosts were responsive.I will mention two challenges that might be useful for others. First, the property description states that it is wheelchair accessible, saying “You can enter the main level of the house via wheel chair and have access to the master bedroom, living room and kitchen area as well as the outside deck and porch.” This is somewhat true, although there is a small section between the driveway and the patio covered in stones. A family member damaged his mobility scooter (connections came loose that took time to fix) navigating this. Also, to be very clear, the house is not handicap accessible by ADA standards — there are no grab bars in the main bath, for example.Second, I feel the description of the mountain road is insufficient to indicate how difficult it is. You will want a 4WD vehicle. I was most unhappy without one in wet and windy weather.One morning the road was covered with leaves; driving a large SUV without being able to see the borders of the road, on tight steep turns with sharp drops, was stressful. For context, I’ve driven on steep mountain roads in many places. In my view, the roads are not comfortably ‘accessible with any vehicle’ as stated in the description. In fact, given a forecast for unexpected snow, we relocated to a hotel in Pigeon Forge for safety.
