The cabin was cozy and sufficient for our stay, the distance to attractions was just right. Twenty minutes to Gatlinburg and Forty to Pigeon Forge area. We were close enough to they National Park to visit Clingmans Dome before shopping one day. Very satisfying stay!
Our stay was very nice. The cabin was very comfortable and relaxing. Everything was excellent I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. I will be staying here again soon
Very well managed rental-clean, great communication with owners, lots of helpful information provided. Driveway a little hard to get out of, but otherwise excellent stay!
The cabin was easy to find, check in and communication was super easy, everything was clean and cozy. Would definitely recommend and visit again. Thank you for having us.
Stayed with family and friends and had an amazing time. Would highly recommend this rental to anyone with a larger family. It was very clean and had an amazing hot tub. My family and friends loved this place. Plenty of space for 2 families of 4! 5 out of 5 visit for sure!!!!
Had a great stay at the cabin. It was perfect for our family! The description and photos perfectly describe the property. It is easy to get to the Gatlinburg strip, and close to some hiking trails. The cabin is really clean and well appointed. Had everything we needed. The communication with the owner was great too. Very helpful.
The owners were very accommodating and responded to each of my messages right away! The place was well furnished and clean. Beautiful bathrooms with plenty of towels, beds were comfy, and good amount of supplies available in the kitchen. Mama bear and her cubs were just outside the cabin minding their own business. We would definitely stay again!
Great cabin! Very clean and laid out nicely. Room for everyone! Girls loved the hot tub, and the arcade game brought back memories of playing as a kid. Coffee on the front deck in the morning was so peaceful and quiet. Would definitely book again!
This was an ideal place for my wife and I to bring our daughter and son-in-law and their four boys 12-5 for brief visit to Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains. The bedrooms on three floors, along with the living room, kitchen, and game room were perfect for us. Everyone had a good time!
We loved staying at this cabin. 20 minutes from Gatlinburg, not a huge hike up the mountain for a car. Clean and more realistic feeling of staying in the cabin. I wish there was towel racks in the main bathroom to hang, but that’s my only fluke! Definitely want to come back if I come stay in Gatlinburg again
It is a very nice cabin. Had plenty of room everything was clean. The only two complaints is the driveway in has this hump and my boyfriends car scrapped really bad on it i thought it was gonna be stuck the other complaint is the pool sticks were all broken at the tip. We ended up buying our own because thats one of the main reasons we booked the place. Also i forgot to mention how the hot tub was so clean it bleached our clothes we went in with. But overall we enjoyed the place and we had fun. It has everything you need and olenty of space.
What a wonderful cabin! It was very clean, exactly as listed, and in an area that is very quiet with no immediate neighbors but not totally isolated, as there are other houses down the streets (which I liked!) The host was very communicative pre-check in, and was quick to answer any questions I had. The cabin also had charming seasonal decor (fall), which was an added touch I really enjoyed. The WiFi connection was strong and stable throughout my stay, which definitely helped staying connected because I had no service in the area. I loved the multistory layout, and felt like my group had plenty of space to enjoy together and privately. This is one of the few times on vacation where I actually wanted to stay in and enjoy our lodging more — my only regret is not booking more time at this property! Overall, quite literally the perfect cozy cabin for a small family or group of friends!
The cabin was great. As described. This place was great for our family. We had 4 of the grand kids aging from 3 - 13. The game room was a huge hit for adults too. Enjoyed the pool table, retro arcade games and the kids really enjoyed the board games. Kept them entertained the entire time. The loft was perfect for the kids. Well stocked utensils and everything you needed. Hot tub was great. We loved our stay. The only negative would be the driveway. It is hard to get in and out of and turn around, especially at night. Highly recommend this place and loved the quiet location. Hosts thought of everything. Couldn't have asked for a better stay.
We were a bit nervous driving up the road to the cabin as others were driving fast down the mountain. We missed the driveway as there was no address noted at the main road. It was also concerning when we started down the driveway and could only see up, hoping when we got over the hump we were still on the driveway. My kids also missed the driveway, turned around and came in (or at least tried to come in on the driveway when their minivan got stuck on the hump at the top of the driveway. After the first day, we all felt more comfortable coming and going. The cabin was very nice and inviting. When we had a question and reached out to the owner, he always answered our questions in a timely manner no matter what the question was. Positive comments: the beds were very comfortable, plenty of room to move around in the cabin, kitchen was adequately equipped for daily use. We had made Thanksgiving Dinner so I had to purchase some food containers and I had brought my own casserole dishes, plenty of hot water, Tv's in 3 rooms, did not know the dining room table expanded until Thanksgiving Day. Owner left a nice sampling of coffee pods (I had brought our own), it was nice to have a pool table and video game was a plus for the entire family. We enjoyed the fireplace, the owner left wood for the renters. Negative: It was hard for me to remove the hot tub cover-so I only took off one side, hard to put it back on The hot tub was amazing. No counterspace in the downstairs bathroom.
The cabin was everything advertised. The first thing my wife and I both noticed was the fresh smell of fall spices when we opened the door. It was not overwhelming like they were trying to cover an odor but very welcoming. The second evening there we returned from sight seeing after dark and was greeted by a black bear in the driveway. He politely walked into the woods and disappeared. The next morning I was on the deck drinking my morning coffee and heard a noise and in tree about 40 yards away were 3 little cubs playing. The kids all enjoyed the game room and hot tub. Great place a little off the beaten path and just what our family needed. Will definitely be back.
Thank you for sharing the cabin with our family.

The host was very communicative and very helpful and the property was nice and comfortable. The view is not that great but, the location is good for downtown Gatlinburg. Tthe supplies were very limited. We had no extra trash bags and only one dishwasher pod. With 3 people staying 4 days, we needed more than this. The outlets in the bedrooms either didn’t work at all or worked sporadically, so any charging had to be done in bathrooms and the kitchen. The cleaning crew missed some things — the coffee pot had not been cleaned and there were grounds still in the filter. There was soap residue in the main floor shower that could easily have been cleaned off but was not. All in all, it was okay, but I have stayed in nicer places.

Don't arrive for the weekend expecting to use the hot tub.
The property was nice. Cabin itself is nice. But the selling point / amenity that we were most excited for was the Hot Tub and we were unable to use it at all during our stay. This was very disappointing as it was the main reason we chose this cabin. We completely understand that the hot tub had been emptied and sanitized and we greatly appreciated this. However, we were there for the entire weekend and it never reached over 85-87 degrees. We contacted the owners who live out of town and followed their instructions without success. Whichever owner I was communicating with via messaging was very condescending and also informed me that I could "Contact any hot tub manufacturer and they will educate me". They finally called the cabin the next evening after dinner to troubleshoot without success. Keep in mind we were to check out at 10AM the next morning. I hope that in the future the owners will realize that kindness goes a lot further than the treatment we received. I finally stopped messaging as it was getting us nowhere. The advertisement for this cabin should be more transparent. We were told that it will take "a few" hours for the hot tub to heat up. We did not realize that this would mean the entire weekend. I just wanted to give others the transparency we wish we had been given. Our group won't be choosing to stay at their property(ies) again due to this experience.
We were extremely pleased with the cabin. It was clean and offered plenty of room for our group of 6. The cabin offered many amenities that were appreciated.
