The pictures looked beautiful but its even better in person! We had a wonderful time and the owners were soooo amazing and helpful. I am super picky and this cabin was spotless and spacious. Everything was very well thought out. The driveway was pretty steep but that is the norm for all of the mountain homes. If you are looking for an amazing vacation, don't waste your time looking for any other cabin. Book this one and you will be very, very happy!! We can't thank you enough for this wonderful vacation!! Our family of 6 had more than enough room and we didn't want to leave!!!!! As far as local things that we loved, I have some suggestions. The pirate show in Pigeon Forge was absolutely incredible for any age. It is a dinner show and the food was delicious. The pirate show is a must do. We hiked at Laurel Falls and it was a beautiful hike and very doable for our little family. We went to the comedy barn and had lots of laughs. Wasn't sure if it would be corny or not but it was actually super fun. If you are wanting to go shopping, go to the island at pigeon forge. My kids age 10 and 12 did a ropes course there and that was awesome. The ferris wheel at the island is totally worth it for all ages. The Ripleys aquarium was really cool and you can see some really unique creatures there. My family's favorite restaurant was the Frizzle Chicken in Pigeon Forge. Its open for breakfast and its a riot. There are a bunch of singing chickens and my kids would probably go there every day if they could. With this rental, you have free access to 3 pools. We had so much fun going to the pools and playing tennis and hanging out. If you want to order pizza, order from ski mountain pizza. Best pizza ever and they deliver. In a nutshell, we are so lucky to have gotten the opportunity to stay here and will always cherish our memories here. Thank you for letting us stay at this little slice of heaven!
