Amazing Cabin, perfect for a large group. The kitchen and dining area were wonderful. Double refrigerators, double ovens, double dishwashers. Lots of activities to do at the cabin, and plenty of parking.
The rental process and communication was very smooth from beginning to end. The house was spacious, clean and everything seemed new. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were comfortable. Our family thoroughly enjoyed all the games. The only suggestion would be to add an extra couch on the main floor off the kitchen for additional seating. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this property to friends!
14 adults - staff and spouses stayed for 4 nights. The layout of the cabin is perfect. The location is fantastic for Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. We will definitely return for our next mountain trip.
Our family had a wonderful time. The kids enjoyed playing all the electronic and table games. Lots to do in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. There is limited play room close to the property.
We were in town for a tournament and brought several families with the team. The cabin was perfect for separating the team downstairs and the families upstairs. Everything was clean and we had an awesome time. Would definitely stay here again!!

This year we rented the largest cabin on the property and it was magnificent! It accommodated ages from 6 years old to 70! And we the bears visited alot, which made the stay even better!! And the Staff was always accommodating before we arrived thru to our departure!
Spent the weekend with 25 coworkers- everything went seamless from check-in to check out. The power went out during our stay because of the wind storm, but it was very easy to communicate with the owners regarding the power and other questions, if needed. The cabin had everything you could need from the kitchen to the bedrooms. Definitely recommend!
Everything was as described. Centralized location of a well maintained and very clean cabin. No complaints. There were 18 of us and there was more than enough space. I definitely recommend.

Stairway to Heaven was enjoyed by the group. Plenty of room for cooking, playing cards, and talking about the ole days. Guys loved the arcade games. Any issues that came up were addressed promptly. Already started talking about next year's stay with Bear Tracts.

I would love to give a 5 star review. The cabin was perfect except for one thing: there were no Christmas decorations. We had 4 generations of family to celebrate Christmas and we didn’t even have a Christmas tree. It was disappointing for the 9 children. Otherwise the It is a perfect location. So close to downtown and everything you could need, gas station, grocery store, etc.
Stairway to Heaven perfectly met our needs for a large, extended family gathering to celebrate an 80th birthday party. The house was well appointed and met our expectations in every way. It was particularly nice that the games in the game room were in good condition. The use of the app to share information about the stay was effective and made it easy to pass along information to the rest of our group. Really appreciate all of your efforts!
The property that we stayed at fit the bill perfectly for our family reunion. But new guests should be made aware, though that there is a contingency of bears that prowl the property day and night.
These bears walk the property including in the parking lot and will approach your car and attempt to get in your car.
One resident below our cabin, left his car doors open (turned out to be the housekeeper) and we watched the bear saunter over and after sniffing around on the cabins front porch, decided to scavenge in their car. He found nothing and left.
Most of our guests cars had been bear pawed , but surprisingly weren’t scratched.
But they were fun to watch and they really weren’t aggressive so it really wasn’t actually a problem but everywhere you go you see them.
We would come back to your cabin again, lots of room, everything worked, the kids had a great time too!!

The house is in a great location, lots of room for 17 people. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed. Two refrigerators and dishwashers were awesome to have. My only complaint (I didn’t report it) was the condition of the pool and area around it. It was dirty and trash and leaves were all over, pool water was not clear.

Stairway to Heaven Cabin was everything we hoped it would be. A wonderful place for our family of 16 to gather and enjoy the beautiful Smoky Mountains. This was not just a cabin, it was a home that provided ample room for gathering, bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate everyone, large enough to provide privacy when needed, fully equipped kitchen with all needed items to prepare food, dining area with 3 tables to serve meals and host a UNO tournament, porches with rockers to view the magnificent scenery and two hot tubs to unwind after a busy day hiking. Would we stay here again? Absolutely and would recommend to others who looking for a place to house a large group. Thank you to our hosts for providing a place to create a memory that will last a lifetime.

We rented Stairway to Heaven for a family reunion. The cabin had all the space we needed and plenty for everyone of all ages to do. The cabin was beautiful and had great views of the mountains. Plus the location couldn;t be beat, only minutes to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It was an experience to remember!
