We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for us, just close enough to everything we wanted to do but just far enough from the hustle and bustle. The cabin was clean and had everything we could need.
Great cabin close enough but also far enough away. Alot of great restaurants near the cabin.

Mudpuppies and Moonshine cabin was excellent.
The cabin was nice and clean and well stocked for toiletries, kitchen utensils, bath towels,etc. Kids enjoyed the gameroom and everyone enjoyed the hot tub. We would definitely stay here again.
Comfy and cozy cabin in the mountains. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. We loved the hot tub and the kids loved the gaming systems!
The owners would quickly respond if we had questions and everything was such a smooth process. We had kids infant to 5 years old and it was the perfect house for everyone.
Our group of 11 (ages 6 to 65) enjoyed all the amenities offered at mudpuppies and moonshine cabin, with the game room being a fast favorite! The cabin itself was well appointed and clean. Our host was always easy to get ahold of and responded promptly. Thank you again for a great stay!
The cabin was wonderful and clean, well stocked kitchen. The bathrooms were gorgeous with great water pressure. The drive up is steep and parking is on an incline. Drive in to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg were both simple.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay that included adults, teens, and children.
Property was clean, updated and centrally located. April was very responsive!

Cabin as advertised, perfect set up for vacationing with extended family.
Great set up for family. Appreciated the en-suites. Interesting floorplan with no half bath on the main floor so people either use the master suite bathroom or need to go upstairs or downstairs when just hanging at the cabin. Kids loved the game room. Very responsive owners.
We absolutely have nothing negative we could say about the cabin or owners! Everything was exactly as described and the owners were great with communication! They were kind and offered us an early check in the day before our arrival.
Our daughters getting a weekend away as their 11th birthday present!! Thank you again for the amazing stay!
We enjoyed it. We had 9 people (4 adults). The bunk bed set up was perfect for the kids, and the upstairs loft area was fun for all. The hot tub was also a hit, and the kitchen was well stocked to have dinners in.
Great location, very accessible to Gatlinburg, the national park, and Pigeon Forge. Very roomy cabin, plenty of space for our family of 10. Loved the game room! Not much of a view, but we did have multiple bear sightings from the back deck of the cabin. The roads in the resort are quite steep so be prepared to park on an incline. Cabins are close together, but we never felt closed in or bothered by neighbors.
We had a few issues with some dishes that were apparently put away dirty in the cabinets but we had good communication with the owners and I feel they will address any issues that come up.
Cabin was great. It list most of the rooms as first floor but the cabin is actually three stories. Master on main floor but others are in basement or first floor and master bedroom on first. Other than that it was great.
We stayed in Moonshine and Mudpuppies Cabin with our three teenagers and senior citizen parents. The main floor was perfect for our parents with access to the amenities without the need for climbing stairs. The kids enjoyed the lower level’s quietness so they could sleep late even with early rising grandparents along. The upper level game room was fun for all ages. With the openness to the main floor everyone felt together whether their energy level had them shooting pool upstairs or watching tv in the living room. All around everyone enjoyed our stay.

Great Vacation!
This beatiful cabin exceeded our expectations! Our family of seven had more than enough space to relax and unwind. We were pleasantly surprised at how well the kitchen was stocked. We did a little cooking on the outdoor grill and did not have to purchase any paper/plastic products. We used the cookware and eatery items provided in the cabin and popped everything in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. Even the dishwasher pods were provided.
The game room was a hit with the younger members of our crew, and even us oldie but goodies got in a few hands of Uno.
Thanks April and Dave for an experience we won't soon forget!
This was our first family vacation which included our adult kids and grandchildren with a combined total of 10 people. We decided to rent a cabin in Gatlinburg and chose the Mudpuppies and Moonshine. The cabin was well stocked, clean and cozy with each family having their own floor to themselves. It’s close to town with easy access to the main highway, attractions and the Artist District is about a 5 minute drive. April and Dave were prompt in responding to any questions or issues and were prompt in releasing our security deposit after inspecting the cabin. The check-in/out was a breeze. On the flip side, the cabin’s living room is a bit small to accommodate large gatherings, the entrance to the addition and parking were quite a challenge-not something any of us would want to do in inclement weather. Overall, the cabin has tons of room, the arcades, shuffleboard and bunk beds were a hit with the grandkids and the pool table and hot tub were fun for the adults.
