Everything was very accessible and very good place to stay, my only complain I have is that the next time leave extra blankets out for your patrons. Very worth the trip. Close towards town. You wont go wrong with this cabin. I would definitely rent again!

Welcoming rustic & cozy home!

Our family are Florida transplants since 2017, and we needed a re-set. The Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge areas were perfect, especially this time of year with the changing of the leaves. But, for the property review. Perfect little home set not far outside Gatlinburg. We loved the place, our kids played for hours in the back of the property. My wife collected leaves from the area. I have nothing bad to say about the place or the communication with the property management. We will be back next year & hopefully to stay in the same spot, but longer this time.

Wonderful Cottage

This cottage was perfect for my wife and I. Upon arrival, we noticed one bed was not made and trash in a couple of receptacles. Other than that, the place was immaculate. We had a few guests one night and were able to cook a nice meal for the whole group. Unfortunately our stay was scheduled just after a hurricane, but there was still access to just about anything in the area. There is so much to do here, so we will definitely be back. I highly recommend this cottage to a family of 4 or less.

Worst Experience we have ever had

After a long drive we arrived to a filthy cabin. The bed linens had visible dirt on them like they had not been washed. The sofa bed was disgusting and when we removed seat cushions it was filled with food. Trying to open the sofa bed started to collapse the main frame of the couch. Once open springs were missing in the corner to support the mattress. After opening the mattress it was filthy stained and not suitable for anyone to sleep on. The silverware was rusted and had food stick to them in the drawers. The countertops were sticky and when wiped they came up black. Out back the swing was covered in black mold and the front porch covered in green mildew. The grill was dirty and unusable as the space in between the grates were caked with burnt grease. Overall not what was pictured and portrayed in the list g. I didn’t explain new a cabin but I did expect a clean and working space for my family to stay. We paid 100% up front in good faith that we would stay in a clean place as represented in the add. This was in acceptable. So late in the evening with no help from VRBO I had to find a new place to stay for my family at greater cost than what was planned for. Do not book this cabin there is a reason hotels cost more because you get what is advertised. This place was managed by a company who had no idea supposedly of the condition of the cabin. Another reason to avoid because you are not dealing with an individual owner just another company trying to take your money.

Anniversary get away

We really enjoyed our stay here. I was shocked when I seen a high chair available bc I was just telling my husband we forgot ours. We loved playing pool and even tried some ping pong. The only thing that was disappointing was the jacuzzi didn’t work. The owner offered to send someone out during our stay which was nice but not necessary. Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage. We hope to be back soon!

Hermosa Cabaña

La cabaña está a 10 minutos del centro de Gatlinburg, muy accesible . Está a la orilla de una calle transitable , pero puedo decir que en las noches no se escucha el ruido cuando estás durmiendo . Espacio acogedor . Tiene lo necesario . PUEDO PENSAR QUE EL DUENO DEBE DE PONER MÁS ATENCIÓN A LA LIMPIEZA ,LOS TOILET DAN UN POCO DE FASTIDIO . Muy poco papel higiénico para una familia con niños . Pero en GENERAL LA RECOMIENDO

This cabin was perfect for our Gatlinburg vacation - family of 3! There was so much to do in every direction, dining, grocery and main strip! Also went on a day trip to Clingmans Dome and Newfound Gap. We also went to Pigeon Forge for the Titanic! I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent Communication with Owners

We stayed at the cottage 6 nights and it fit comfortably 4 people. we used all the amenities including pool and hockey table (it was a lot of fun), their dishwasher, washer/dryer, fireplace, and tub but we couldn’t get the Jacuzzi tub to work (the button appeared broken). The owner may consider using laminated instructions for the Jacuzzi tub. Also updating the utensils and including wine glasses… We loved the location as it was in the center of the Arts & Crafts district (we walked across the street to a pottery shop and thrift store) it was that close! It was also easy to get to and from the cottage with no steep driveways or roads. Overall it was a good experience and we cooked many family meals at the cottage. Lastly, the owner was very prompt in responding to all of our questions prior to and during our stay. We recommend this cottage to families.

Great cabin close to everything but away from downtown!

Super cute cabin. It's in the arts and crafts area which is outside of downtown so much quieter and easier to get to. You never know what the situation will be like when renting a cabin in Gatlinburg - there is always the fear of a super steep driveway or terrible parking etc. This cabin is right on the road so no ruts or steepness to deal with. We arrived after a big rain so I was so grateful for that as a lot of driveways were washed out onto the roads. Flat parking right in front of the cabin. Place was well kept and clean and a short drive to all the attractions. Owner was easy to reach and very friendly. We'll be back!

great location, cozy cabin

We had a good relaxing stay at Justin's cabin, it was well equipped and had everything for a family of 4. It rained a lot during our stay and we loved the mini pool table, while waiting for the storm to ride out. Couple of things to note, the house itself faces the main road (its not evident from pictures), and if you're plannig to cook a lot like we did, there is no exhaust fan and we triggered the fire alarm few times. Mobile phone signal is almost non-existent but the Wifi is pretty strong. we did not have any issues with the lock and it was seamless. Keeping these minor things aside, we definitely loved the location and would not mind booking again whenever we are in the area. Justin is super responsive host and answers all Qs promptly.

Mini Vaca

We got there later than we wanted to but Justin sent us our code and let us know about the cottage. There was a pool table that my daughter loved. It is an older home but it was comfortable and had everything we needed. The biggest thing I’d say was disappointing was that the pictures don’t show that it’s so close to the road. We thought it was out in the middle of no where. The pictures are taken from the front of the house. We would suggest this property still.

Great Start to Spring Break!

Justin communicates very well and ensured the booking process from beginning to end was seamless. His cabin is right in the heart of the Great Smoky Arts and Crafts District. The big back yard is a nice size to engage in fun family activities such as making s'mores (there is a fire pit) and barbecuing (there’s a grill). Plus there’s a little stream that runs through it! The cabin was clean upon arrival and enough space for a family of four. Overall, my family had a wonderful stay at the cabin. Thank you!
