Stay at happy days

This was a great place to stay! The cabin was beautiful, clean and in a great location. My only complaint would be that the towels are extremely small and thin. I would suggest bringing your own hot tub towels if possible as not many are provided.

Perfect home away from home

Highly recommend for a perfect mix of smoky mountain seclusion and town of Gatlinburg fun. Everything we wanted to do was within a 5-10minute drive. This also made it more cost effective to go out and do an activity and stop back “home” for lunch and dinner. Our kids loved the bunk beds and arcade. We had a few rainy days so the variety of streaming channels came in handy. Highly recommend and kids are already asking when we can go back.

Cute cabin close to downtown Gatlinburg

We recently stayed with our young family. Everything was very clean and in good working order--very thankful for that! They had plenty of bed linens available, fully stocked kitchen so we could cook and the primary bed was so comfortable! It's a quick, easy drive to downtown Gatlinburg and there's a nice grocery store less than 10 minutes away. We had a great stay! Thank you!

Spring break

We had a nice time in the cabin. Close enough to all the attractions but also far enough away for some nice privacy. The hot tub was a nice touch too. Lots of wildlife and roosters out there

Great Place

The other reviews are accurate. Easy access close to downtown. No crazy roads. My son loved the kids room and video games. Also had plenty of room to play when we were in the cabin. The roosters are there but not a problem. Hot tub was great. Hosts were responsive to any issues we had during our stay.

Great family vacation

We had an amazing time and this place did not disappoint. Close to town but still allowed you to feel secluded. This was our second trip here and we tried staying closer to town and glad we did. Was able to get down and into places easily and still saw bears daily- one was right on the embankment when my daughter walked outside and one we saw police escorting it down the road! Recommend this place for your next getaway!

Great Family Getaway

We had a wonderful time at Happy Days!! The location could not have been more convenient. My husband, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and myself stayed. The cabin was very comfortable and had plenty of room for us. We stayed at Happy Days for 8 nights. The only thing we found lacking were the towels. There was one small bath towel and one wash cloth per person so there was not a cloth to wash your face and a separate cloth to bathe with. We did end up going to Walmart and purchasing towels. I say this to say bring towels and wash cloths from home. Otherwise the house had everything we needed. The host, Justin, was very pleasant to deal with and very responsive. We all agreed that we would not have a problem renting this house again should we go back to Gatlinburg in the future.

Perfect Mountain Vacation

My family and I had a five night stay at this cabin. It was wonderful. The cabin was clean and it was a very spacious for a family of four. My little ones (2 and 4) absolutely loved the upstairs bedroom with bunk beds. The location of the cabin was wonderful. Very close to all of the attractions and no scary mountain drive which is a huge plus for me! The cabin was also private and there were no close neighbors. The balcony was amazing and we really enjoyed the hot tub. Communication with the owner was great. A very pleasant and enjoyable experience all around. Would love to stay here again!

Amazing vacation

Was a very clean cabin. Easy to get to the cabin. Very homey feeling. Still close to the attractions but enough to feel like you are still in the mountains. Hot was nice and clean. Beds were very comfortable. Only recommendation is bring some spare towels for the hot tub.

Great stay, ideal location

Exactly per online listing. Hot tub very clean and reportedly emptied and cleaned after every guest stay. Very relaxing and private on the covered deck with 2 rocking chairs and separate table with 4 seats. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. It rained very hard repeatedly when we stayed and there were several minor leaks in the cabin. We reported to property manager. Tips for future guests: Ideal location a short distance from the tourist strip, but driving the main road through Gatlinburg is very congested at all times and parking fills up. Best to arrive early if planning to hang out along the main drag. Amenities: There is both a Keurig and 12-cup standard coffee maker. There were filters provided (or a previous guest left). Two Keurig pods were provided but you’ll need to bring your own coffee for the machine. There was one roll of TP in each bathroom with no spares, so depending on the length of your stay, you may want to bring extra. There’s a mini-mart nearby but the prices are high and traveling to a grocery store requires navigating through congested traffic in either direction.

This cabin was amazing! We have a family of 4 and had more than enough room! We loved utilizing the spa at the end of our days of endless walking and adventures. The cabin is very clean and seemingly secluded but close to everything we wanted to do. The host was very helpful and organized and would return messages within the hour. I would definitely recommend and may stay here again when we go to Gatlinburg.

Everything was clean. It was nice, location was good, plenty of parking and comfortable beds. I wish there was a way to access the back porch without having to go through the master bedroom the single cup coffee maker would not work however the pot worked fine. There needs to be a few hooks in the upstairs bathroom. And the roosters on the other side of the road were nonstop even at night.
