Amazing location

Perfect spot for getting into town quickly or getting on the bypass to the park. Small note, but driveway / parking area is tight, so extra large or multiple vehicles may be difficult.

Great place, great location

We came up to the Smokies with my family recently and enjoyed our stay here. My kids really loved the arcade system upstairs (OK, I did too). The place was in a good location, close to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Overall, we had a great time!

We enjoyed this cabin. The brook next to had relaxing melodies, the kids and dog enjoyed it also. The pictures of the area around the cabin on the listing needed to be updated on the listing as the vegetation has grown around it.
