Great place. Host not responsive.
Great place to stay, clean, well-kept, the games are nice to have for everyone. We accidentally left my daughter’s beloved blanket and an expensive pillow. We sent a message to the host (the only messages we sent during our stay), the host replied and then we heard nothing back and still have no answer or items. We did offer to pay to have them sent as well as the convenience fee for their trouble.

A great house on the quieter side of the the smoky mountains park area.
A great house on the quieter side of the the smoky mountains park area. Plenty of space for 12 (6 adults + 6 kids). The host was close by and offered good suggestions.

Lovely, Spacious Lodge
Our entire family of 10 adults and 4 grands gathered for a long weekend and to run in the Cades Cove Loop Lope. We had a blast! The lodge/cabin provides ample space to spread out, play, puzzle, cook, eat, visit. It was everything we'd hoped for and then some! Our favorite spot became the screened in porch with fire place. What a perfect area for fall evenings. Hot tub was enjoyed, game room was so fun and lives larger than the pictures show. Comfortable beds and wonderful to have private bathrooms. Thank you to our gracious hosts for excellent communication before, during and after our stay. The cabin was spotlessly clean, well stocked, so comfortable, and Smoky Mountain majestic. Loved every moment and hope to return. Highly recommend.

Large House
A large, spacious house that has a lot of privacy. It's a great location. The pictures do not do it justice. The fireplace in the great room is wonderful!!! We could have used some blankets as the weather is getting chillier.
