DRIVE to the CABIN

DRIVEWAY

Perfect Family Getaway

We had a fantastic stay at this charming chalet in Gatlinburg. Our family, coming from Missouri and Virginia, found it to be the ideal spot for a much-needed reunion. The chalet was clean, well-stocked, and comfortably accommodated all us. The location was perfect – secluded enough to offer peace and tranquility, yet close enough to Gatlinburg’s attractions and the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciated their attention to detail and warm hospitality. We would highly recommend this chalet to anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic, and enjoyable getaway. Our family made wonderful memories here and we can't wait to return!

Amazing!!

The management of the property is amazing! They were very quick to communicate before, during and after our trip. Our family of 6 had a blast at the cabin as there was lots to keep the kids busy from hot tubs to games and even a cute and comfy movie area. It was also in a convenient location so getting out was also easy and Ober mountain was just a short drive up the mountain. We highly recommend this property!

Great Cabin

Our family stayed here to celebrate our dad's 80th birthday. We had plenty of room for the 8 of us and the kitchen had everything we needed. There are 3 levels of stairs, so make sure everyone can manage them (our dad was fine!). The bathrooms could be updated, but were fine and clean. THE BEARS! We were all excited to see bears each day on our stay. Make sure to keep your car locked and empty!

We had the best time!

14 of us adults stayed at this beautiful Gatlinburg stay and had truly the best time ever! It was equipped with everything we needed. We did have multiple bear sightings, which we loved, but if you’re not into that, don’t come peak bear season because you WILL be seeing bears!

Great Easter in the Mountains

The property was wonderful and had room for the full family. There was even a extremely clean pack and play for my youngest. As others allude, the drive is rough the first time especially after driving all day but we got the hang of it and after doing it in the rain and fog we were experts. The cabin is well stocked and clean. The only issue we had was it was a bit dusty and we had a couple of asthmatic kids. Turning off the heat and opening the windows to the fresh air helped so I am glad the weather improved. We had a great family Easter! Thank you!

Great Smoky Mountain Retreat

My boys and I loved the amenities and location of the house (highly recommend AWD or 4WD). I was thrilled to be able to have our dog with us. The owner has added a theater area which was a great addition. The owner was very communicative and check-in/check-out was a breeze. Overall, I would gladly stay at this cabin again and highly recommend others to stay here as well.

Cozy Cabin with BEARS!!

This was a comfy stay in the mtns and so many bear encounters! The bunk beds weren’t the most comfy for the kids, but they had a blast in the hot tub and around the fire pit. It was nice having rooms on all three floors. The deck is nice, but there isn’t much of a view - you look at trees that block a potential lovely overlook. The area is fairly quiet and the house had everything we needed. All in all, it was a lovely long weekend stay. There was even a small gift awaiting my bro (we were there for his 50th bday). It was extremely thoughtful!!

Fantastic place for the whole family!

Tiya is a great host. From the time we booked her property until we checked out, she made sure we had everything we needed. The home is clean, comfortable, and also just as it is pictured in the listing. We loved relaxing in the rocking chairs on the porch at all times of the day. The kids enjoyed having their own place upstairs to plug in their Nintendo Switch or play pool. The second floor has more than enough space for the entire family to congregate. We all fit around the table one evening for game night. The hot tub was relaxing in the couple of cool nights and mornings we had. We did have a little black bear hang out and cause some mischief, but nothing bad. Would highly recommend d this property!

family get away

The driveway is very very steep but we did learn to navigate it. The house is beautiful but does have a lot of steps. The 3 levels made it nice for us because each family had their own personal space but could gather at the table as a unit. If you are looking for a large house where family members can unite yet get alone this is it but keep in mind steps. The only draw back was it was not clean. The beds had clean linens, bathrooms were clean but much dirt accumulation on the furniture legs, fans, floors, outdoor porches. The owner did respond to me immediately when I texted her and even offered to send the cleaning crew back that day to correct it. Due to my family already there I declined since the essentials were clean. She stated they would look into and correct the issue and I'm hoping they do. Very nice house, great vacation but the place was dirty.

Amazing stay

We stayed here for our family vacation and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The cabin was super clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. Our family loved hanging around at the outdoor fireplace and hot tub. We also got to see a few bears! The location is amazing - super close to Gatlinburg downtown and just a few miles from The Great Smoky Mountain National Park entrance. The host was extremely hospitable, and checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable. I can truly say this is the best vacation we've had. We will totally come back in the future!

Okay place but needs updating

Overall our stay was okay. Pros: it was centrally located between Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Smokey Mountains National Park. You will see black bears in the neighborhood (our kids loved that). Cons: all bathrooms need to be updated. Only the front door electric lock worked all other sliding doors had a stick to keep it secure cause locks didn’t work. It was clean enough but we found open soda bottles under the sofa and chips under the sofas (not deep under just at the edge, we could se it walking by). Beds probably need new mattresses, a bit too soft and you can feel the springs. Overall nothing was so bad that I felt I need to call to complain about. But for all the reason I listed, good and bad, it was okay.
