Spring Break Tennessee Trip

The house was beautiful and was set up for family fun. We enjoyed the open concept and the games area. The kitchen had the tools we needed. We really appreciated being able to have our dog with us, and she enjoyed the cozy blankets that were there for her. The only thing that was unexpected was the steep drive up to the house. It would be helpful to have known more about that in the listing.

It is very nice and clean, the owners are very nice, if you go during wintertime you should have a 4x 4 vehicle because the house is on the mountain climb and is very steep and too many turns.

Great Stay!

The property was just as listed. It worked great for my husband, me, our 8 month old, and cat. We saw bears most of the days (and our neighbors saw them everyday), so if you are looking for bear sightings, this is your cabin! We really enjoyed being able to walk out of the cabin and straight onto Cove Mountain Trail - there’s a nice view in less than a mile if you go right. Close proximity to town and many other hikes. Very clean and well kept. We all enjoyed our stay!

House in the woods

We enjoyed our stay, and we got to see a lot of bears! Note that this house is very high up, and requires driving on very steep roads. Plan on using Low gear when going down, or you'll burn your brakes up. Do be alert for bears, as they wander through periodically, especially in the morning. The house is small but well maintained on the inside. The outside could use some paint and other attention. Overall we had a great stay. Enjoy!

Fantastic pet friendly house + bears!

Just loved this house. In my family, we call this one a “do again”. A review I saw said the hills here were extreme… maybe a little more than the average on the other side of ski mountain rd, but it wasn’t any problem at all, and by the second day i knew the path in and out. It’s got a nice trail in the national park across the street. Remember to keep your car doors locked! Our third morning, we had a bear on the deck and then he opened our car door and got in. Thankfully, he just left behind some dirt and no damage after checking out the back and passenger seats… so a good story, but could have been bad. Comfortable beds, and good pressure in the showers and good internet if you need it.

Nice hidden on hills

It was creepy arriving at night since the house is up in the mountains, didnt even want to leave once we were up there. Got used to the drive up and down after a couple days. We brought our dogs along with us. Nice side patio for barbecue and hot tub. We seen 5 bears across the street coming down the hill from the big house on the top.nice parking spots for 2 to 3 cars.

Long weekend family getaway

The cabin was spacious for our family of 4 plus 2 dogs. It was clean upon our arrival and comfortable. The host gave accurate directions that were very helpful getting up the mountain. The game room and hot tub were very enjoyable as well. We saw a family of bears and cyotes at the house as well. Overall, a very enjoyable long weekend. We would definitely return to this property.

About the host

Host profile image
While calling Atlanta home for many years, we decided to move and invest in the great state of Tennessee. We look forward to retiring in the Great Smokey Mountains. We started our first enterprise in Pigeon Forge in 2012 with our cabin "Pampered Camper". Unfortunately, it was completely destroyed in the fire of November 2016. With great love and belief in the area, we have reinvested in 2 adjoining cabin homes located in Chalet Village in Gatlinburg. Renovations have just been completed and we look forward to many great years in this area.
