Nice little cabin

We really enjoyed our stay here! The view was better than we expected and we even saw a bear from the balcony one morning. It was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Be prepared for the driveway. It’s a fairly steep gravel driveway that winds it’s way up to the cabin so if it’s pouring down rain or there’s ice and snow you may have a hard time. Worth it few the view though. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely beautiful

Amazing hidden gem with a beautiful view of the mountains, from the hot tub you see a beautiful cut out of the mountain tops and not too far from gatlinburg or peigon forge. The property is just as it is listed by the pictures. And the owner is in consistent contact to make sure your trip is perfect. Beyond recommend this place for a nice couple getaway

Family time

We enjoyed our stay. Cabin was great for our last minute booking and the price was very fair. The road is a mountain road but that’s to be expected when booking a cabin in the smokies. We have a smaller SUV and didn’t have any trouble. We are a lounging, cuddling family. My only suggestion would be living room furniture that’s a bit more comfy. The communication with the host was great. We would definitely stay there again.

Hands Down, the best BnB we’ve ever stayed at!

I don’t even know where to begin; the property is gorgeous, peaceful, cozy, clean and in the perfect location (just far enough from town to enjoy the quiet mountain privacy but close enough that it’s not an difficult to get there). The pictures absolutely do not do it justice, this is an incredibly gorgeous and very comfortable property! The views are unmatched, coffee on the deck in the morning overlooking the smokey mountains, how much better can it get than that??? There is no question, I definitely see ourselves booking this property again and again!

Beautiful Cabin!

The cabin was modern,very beautiful and peaceful. Looks exactly like the pictures. Hot tub was very nice and stayed hot. It has a beautiful view of the mountains as well. It was close to everything but far enough to get away from the busyness of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The roads are a little rocky getting to the cabin, but that’s to be expected and we had no issues with our small little car that we rented. Highly recommend this place, and would definitely book again!

Little slice of hidden heaven

Fantastic one level cabin! Everything was new and clean. The beds were a dream. The property manager was responsive and great to deal with. My only issue is the property is so nice we will never manage to get another holiday booked here! It was just incredibly restful and we had an amazing time! Thank you!

Pleasant stay in Pigeon Forge

My friend, brother and I had a wonderful stay at Gisele's place.The location is close to the main artery (Route 321) for various attractions in Pigeon Forge. It's about 15 minutes to Gatlinburg.It is easy to get to the National Park through the Gatlinburg bypass to get 'feel' the beauty of the Smokies even before you get there.Getting to the lodging takes you about 0.3 of a mile up a rough gravel mountain road. Gisele is very upfront about the road, but it is worth the effort.From the elevate porch (with hot tub), there is a table and have a patio meal or nestle into the Adirondack chairs and enjoy the beautiful view of the Smokies (including Mount LeConte) to the south. (The hot tub was good temp, but the jets were a bit tame.) Inside there is a table for dinners or jigsaw puzzles, etc. The kitchen is adequately stocked with nice pans and a drawer full of essential utensils. There is a limited supply of plates and glasses, etc. so you might have to hand wash some items between dishwasher uses to keep up with the meals.The refrigerator is on the smaller side, but adequate for stocking up your supplies from the Food City grocery nearby in Pigeon Forge. (Ask the cashier to scan their coupon code at checkout to get the same deals as the locals.)The master bedroom is generously sized, and the second bedroom has two beds in a slightly tighter space.There is a ping pong table outside in the converted car port area.Gisele is available to make your stay a pleasant one.

0/10 do not recommend. THIS WAS OUR HONEY MOON. We ran out of propane night one. Owners considered allowing us to shower in a dirty cabin an “upgrade”. They said we could stay in the “upgrade” cabin until we got propane back but then we would have to move back to our original cabin. We went three days without being able to take a hot shower or cook in our own cabin. Was it the owners fault? Probably not but we were very unhappy in how they chose to handle the situation. THE OWNERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER’S AND DID NOT WANT TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT!

Bad Problem Solving

This was a perfect cabin/house right near Dollywood and pigeon Forge. My only complaint is when we showed up and the place didn’t have hot water. Problems happen everyday which is completely understandable but I don’t think the situation was handled great. We stayed for two nights and I was told someone would be out the next morning to try and fix it. I had to reach out for updates all day the next day and the problem was not looked into until afternoon/night. Something was wrong with the hot water heater and they were unable to fix it during our stay. The refund that was provided did not match the inconvenience we experienced. I was very disappointed and was miserable taking ice cold shower two nights in a row. I felt like they should have gotten someone out there sooner to try and fix it. Everyone handles problems differently but this is just how I feel.

As expected but a surprise too

This home is at the top of a mountain. The drive from the main road was not labeled, thankfully our GPS helped us to find it. And thanks to other reviews, we realized we were on the right drive. The driveway can get very steep, and it is gravel. Some spots are loose with a lot of pits. I realize now why the description said to have a 4x4 truck. Our parents have a front wheel drive car, which made it. I believe there is 3 homes on this driveway. It was a nail biter when another car was coming from the opposite direction. The driveway does get narrow. When we arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see that the photos were exactly what we saw when we walked inside. It is a beautifully, and clearly newly renovated. To our surprise the refrigerator was NOT what is in the photos. It is MUCH smaller. Be prepared for that. We intended to cook all of our meals, for 6 of us for 5 days. We had coolers and had to store some of the food in them. But the kitchen had a good selection of pots and pans and cooking tools to use. There is a closet in the hall, we stored our dry goods in that. It is small with just shelves. Jackets and shoes had to be kept in the bedrooms. We truly enjoyed our selves. We didn't see any bears. :)
