Thanksgiving with Family

We enjoyed our stay greatly! The area was convenient to town & easy routes to get into Pigeon Forge! Very well stocked, love the yard & flatness for ourselves, grand-baby & fur babies. Very well stocked kitchen!!!! We cooked our whole Thanksgiving meal there…I did bring extra utensils but really didn’t need them! The only downfall was the trash reciprocal, not large enough for that long of a time & especially over a holiday weekend! We will definitely book again! Thank you

Not Worth the Price

I wish this would allow for pictures. Upon arrival, we noticed the deck furniture pillows were wet and had mold on them, rendering them useless the entire trip. I wish that had been the worst of it. The shower in the main bathroom had a large clump of hair across the drain before it was even used. In our experience with other properties, there were extra garbage bags (we were given one for a 5 night stay), extra toliet paper (2 bathrooms, 4 people for 5 nights and only one roll per bathroom), 1 roll of paper towels and nothing to clean counter surfaces. As other reviews state, beware if you have little ones, the road while the speed is posted at 15mph, has more traffic than one would expect for the area and they don't obey the speed limit. The WiFi went out a number of times during the time there and while we were not there to watch TV or be on devices, it was an inconvenience to trouble shoot. The cabin itself is nice, no complaints there. The firepit was nice but with the deck furniture wet and moldy all it left us with was the hard plastic chairs.

Lazy Bear

It’s a nice place and would probably stay again. The hot tub is small. The house is against the street and the cars drive by fast. It was very hot and the a/c had trouble cooling. Clean place and perfect for a small family with pets.

Perfect House and Location

We very much enjoyed our stay. The home was as pictured with everything needed and the location was perfect. I highly recommend this home. The home is right on the road, but other than a few cars, which were very respectful of the home location, we felt as if we were alone. There is a nice stream running through the yard. We also recommend trying Olga’s Yodel Cinnamon Rolls!

Thanks for a fun spring break!

The home was great for our spring break in the Smokies! The home itself is very nice and we enjoyed the hot tub. It mentioned a dish washer, but there wasn’t one… there were also dirty dishes put away in the cupboards. The home sits on a very narrow lot incredibly close to the road. It was nerve racking with 3 kids under 5, but I would definitely consider coming back when they’re older! Close to town but far enough away to feel like you’re really in the mountains.

4 day weekend

The property was amazing. The setup of the home was perfect and we loved using the wood burning fire on cold days and nights. Our trip was spent more at the cabin. The outside firepit, grill, jacuzzi and patio area were nice. It was more than enough room for three adults, a 90 lb dog, an 11 year old and an 8 month old. We will definitely keep this location as a place to come back to.

Beautiful home away from home

This property is exactly as described. And then some. Everything was immaculate and clean. The hot tub was ready to go when we got there. Fireplace and burn pit ready to go. With a generous supply of wood.I mean, it's hard to explain how perfect it is and was for me and my family. Really looking forward to booking again in the future.

mini reunion

loved EVERYTHING about this cabin. This is our 3rd trip to Gatlinburg and by far the best stay, location was terrific, house was the cleanest and I am a cleaning professional of 15 years. Our only complaint was there was no warning before check in that there we needed to bring our own paper products i.e. TP, PT, and tissue. unfortunately we found out when we were out. Additional roll for every 2 nights of stay would be great.

It was good!

The house is fantastic! The bedrooms and bathrooms were good sized! The kitchen was terrific for cooking meals for the family! Plenty of space indoors for toddlers to run around. The back porch was the game changer! Absolutely a perfect space for the entire family to hang out, with the hot tub and fire pit/grill area! The slight negative came with the cleaning crew, there was some spots, that were not so clean. Especially in the master bathroom. It was not bad enough to affect our stay, but it could have been better. I would still highly recommend this cabin to anyone wanted to spend time in Gatlinburg, it is the perfect distance to Gatlinburg, meanwhile still secluded and peaceful!

Quiet and Serene

This beautiful and compact cabin worked perfectly for our 5 adults ( 2 in their 80s,) and 3 collie dogs. We really enjoyed the rustic vibe, bear theme and spacious bathrooms. The shower in the master bath was really spectacular. Was able to walk our dogs down Cole Lane to Glades Road and back several times a day without a problem. Despite the 15 mph signs, most cars speed down the road. But traffic is light and I found I could hear them coming and simply move to the opposite side. Most cars slowed down a lot when they saw us. Couple of points for improvement: The kitchen sink and stove need some sort of overhead lights. Some areas of the floor were dusty. I dropped a pill and was crawling around the master bedroom and bath looking for it before my dogs found it. The area under the bed was dusty and there were dust bunnies under the sink next to the closet. The deck and outside area seemed to have been missed when the cabin was prepared for our stay. I realize that in September, there will always be some leaves drifting down. But the gazebo was full of them as was the gravel walk, fire pit area and deck. Seemed it hadn’t been touched perhaps before the previous guests. I found the blower and power cell in the laundry room and cleared them off before the rest of the guests arrived. The glass table on the deck was filthy as were the cushions on the wicker sofas and chairs. I removed the sectional covers and washed them in OxyClean for mildew.

Perfect for a family of 4!

We loved everything about our stay here. The house was the perfect size, with very cute and cozy decorations. My husband and I adored the outdoor area where we would relax in the hot tub after putting the kids to bed. My 5yo son loved playing the foosball table! The location of this house was perfect. It was very easy to get to downtown Gatlinburg but we still felt like we were a little secluded outside of the hustle bustle. We also went to Dollywood, which was about 18-20 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again!

Homey Place

Very nice place. Out of the hustle and bustle of town but not to far away from anything to be an issue. It was definitely nice. The master bedroom dual shower is a must. The bunk queens/fulls were nice for the kids too. We also explored the little culvert going through the property and found some salamanders for the kids which was cool, the yard is nice and long behind the place for activities if you want that as well. Very nice place and I would stay here again.

Great location in Gatlinburg

Great location, minutes from downtown Gatlinburg. We loved the outside area with the hot tub and fire pit. The beds were comfortable and house nicely decorated. The house needs treated for ants and the outside furniture needed cleaning is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.

This was the perfect place close to downtown but still secluded in the mountains. My parents, me and my husband and our kids enjoyed making tons of memories! The double shower was a nice touch, and my kids loved the kids room! Nicely decorated! The Hot Tub was perfect and the campfire place was amazing! The added relaxation of the gazebo, made a special touch. I look forward to coming back in the future!

Wost place we have ever stayed!

Upon arrival, the code didnt work on any door to get in. We called the 1 800# several times and no one would answer. The instructions said there was a lock box by the front door and gave a code for that. What the instructions did NOT say was the box was located on a building across the road. It took us a long time to figure that out, especially since no one would asnswer our calls. That night we got in the hot tub and then took showers. While in the shower, we noticed the shower doors with writing on it, which proved to us it hadnt been cleaned. This made me very nervous!!! If that wasnt clean, what else wasnt clean. I swept daily and noticed no one had cleaned under the any beds and couches. We even found someone elses old nasty socks. Inside the cabinets, some dishes were dirty. One of the skillets still had scrambled egg residue all over it. We spent a great deal of money on this cabin. When we rent, we expect cleanliness. This unit did NOT offer that. We were all very disappointed; Actually sick over this. Someone did call me the next day to offer me a longer stay and I then told her of our problems. All she said was, "we are very sorry". That was it. The property itself was nice. The outdoor area was nice. Too bad it wasnt cleaned. I can honestly say i left this place cleaner than it was when i arrived.
