About this property

Top Of The World: Cabin W/ Incredible Views Of Mntns, Parks & Ski Slope

Enjoy incredible, unobstructed views of the mountains, Ski Lodge/ slopes, city, parks, forest and wildlife. Watch skiers going down the slopes from all three levels of the cabin. Overlook the mountains and Trams below. Minutes from the excitement of downtown Gatlinburg.

Unbelievable and Incredible are the words that may come to mind (even for jaded locals) as you first step on the deck. Whether watching the skiers, or relishing in the, 'Top of the World' views of the smoky mountains, you or your guest will surely be mesmerized from almost any room of this 4 bedroom/ 3 bath home. If the views aren't enough, the home also offers a stone fireplace, hardwood floors, pool table, foosball, fully furnished, hot-tub and lots of decking to enjoy the exquisite surroundings. 8 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and a short drive from Dollywood and Pigeon Forge.

A minimum 5 night rental is required during the holiday periods of Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving and Easter. All other holidays including Mother and Father's day, Valentine and 4th of July require a minimum stay of 3 night.

The house is equipped with a digital keypad so you can check-in and check-out at your leisure. If there are ever any problems, we are only a phone call, text or email away.

As fellow house renters, we realize the importance of a good nights sleep. All our rooms have new beds with high-thread count sheets and blackout shades. We use bedbug protective covers on all our mattresses and pillows so that you and I can sleep safely :-)

Not clean upon arrival, blamed us!

White furniture covers were dirty and stained almost as if someone urinated on the couch or spilled coffee and cleaners didnt get the stain out. Had not been dusted. Charged quite the non-refundable cleaning fee, upon checkout was given a checklist of things to do before leaving which basically was clean the house and grounds yourself before you leave so you pay a cleaning fee for nothing, when we left we had completed the checklist anyway yet were accused of "TRASHING" the place by owners and cleaning crew when the only thing left for the cleaners to do was make one bed and sweep all floors except kitchen floor. Luckily, I had purchased property damage insurance and sure enough the owners filed a claim stating we damaged a chair, a couch, and 2 slipcovers that just needed washed before we even got there. Also luckily, we took photos when we arrived and posted on social media that same day to show proof. We will never use this place again and we advised all of our family the same as well as anyone reading this. They will use you to get new furniture and you will pay fees for things you will do yourself. If you ask me, they should have paid me the cleaning fee and I'd have made the other bed and swept all floors and washed the slipcovers using Shout stain remover and made it look ten times better than the useless, lazy so-called cleaning crew they supposedly hire. In a nutshell, it isnt worth the hassle and the view and drive up as well as the stay is not as glamorous as they are making it out to be.

80 birthday celebration

The property was a prime location for black bear sitings. We had no troubles with the bear. The scenery was breath taking. However the cleanliness of the place could of been much more pleasant. The bed linens and bedding could of used alot more bleach and time putting and preparing for guests. Some beds had fitted sheets but no flat sheet, all three shower curtains were molding and one bedroom had blood on shower curtain and bedroom curtains. We talked that we would really like to get the place in the future but bring most of our own supplies even though the were provided. Sorry no five star review. If you are paying to have a company do the cleaning of this property you could do yourselves a favor and surprise visit. Tennessee was wonderful!!!

Nice

The place was nice and we had fun but the property desperately needs updating to make it worth the rental amount. The lower level had a bug problem. The owners were responsive when we told them and had The exterminator come immediately but the issue continued all week… the carpets need to be taken out and vinyl plank or something put in. The bug issue was NOT good.

Amazing views but some work needed

Great views, However, we had some issues with the property. Unfortunately the cleaning company that was used didn’t clean the floors or vacuum the rugs and it was very evident how dirty it was. We kept in constant communication with property owner and she offered to have someone come out to clean, however we weren’t going to be in the cabin for an extended period of time and didn’t want to inconvenience the rest of our group. We also had an abnormal amount of millipedes in the house, especially in the lower rooms. We informed the property owner about this and there seems to be an issue with this is the area. Overall the view is great and property is nice, however these issues did cause some inconvenience.

Our Top of the World stay

The cabin was very comfortable and met the needs of our family of 9. View from the deck was awesome and perfect for that first cup of coffee each morning. The living space had room for us all to spread out and enjoy our time together. The drive up the mountain seemed long but really only took about 15 min. so it was quite close to all the things we wanted to do. Chime responded to our messages very quickly. Would definitely stay here again if given the opportunity.

Great cabin with terrific views!!

We had a wonderful time at this cabin! We rented it for one week, and my family and I were happy to be there. Our group consisted of 4 adults and 3 kids, and we still had room for 2 more adults on the lowest level. Our 7 year old and 4 year old absolutely loved the bunk room!! The views off the back decks are amazing, and we enjoyed sitting outside to see the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The owner, Chime, is very sweet, helpful and knowledgeable of the area and things to do!

We enjoyed our stay but the images on the listing need to updated

Could have used hot tub towels, we had to use the same towels we had for showering. View was really nice, Home was spacious and nicely laid out. Be ready for mountain driving cuz its up pretty high....which made it nice and peaceful. Check in process was super easy. Not far from downtown area and super close to Ober Gatlinburg which we really enjoyed! Plan to spend an entire day there! K Hot tub motor is really loud. Be sure to take all food out of your car and lock the doors or the residents of the area (bears) will check for any goodies you may have! LOL...you should expect that because you are in the mountains so this definitely isn't a negative or a complaint, just a helpful tip! Be sure to di some hiking and check out Grotto Falls! Overall we all enjoyed our trip and our stay!

Amazing view! very cozy and spacious

We came as a family of 3 generations and overall it was a perfect place for us. The cabin is located at the very top of the mountain (or so it feels). The drive there was looong but the view is totally worth it. Chime had sent us upfront all the information we needed including where it's preferred to buy the groceries which was super useful. The place does feel it needs some updates, especially the kitchen... but this cabin has a lot to offer. The 1st floor is an open living space, with the kitchen and dining room and has a big balcony overlooking the AMAZING VIEW! It is very spacious and has a huge dining table. On this floor, there's also one bedroom and bathroom. Going down one floor there were 2 more bedrooms, a bathroom, and the game room, also with a big balcony and an amazing view. We spend so much time playing in this room it was great. Going down once more there's what we called a suite :) with a big kind size bed and a larger bathroom with washer dryer. Beds were super comfortable and clean. What would have made it even better was if there were a little more of the "small things" like there are 2 coffee machines but no coffee, there weren't enough dishwasher tablets considering we came as a big group and ate in.  Would have been nice to have some more of the paper towels or towels we can use to clean after us... same for the laundry detergent... things you don't really think to bring with you to your vacation. But as I said before... overall, we had a great time there :)

Bears Everywhere

Wow! What views! Lots of bear friends visiting and even a coyote dropped by. Most comfortable mattresses ever. Cabin could use a little TLC like drawers in kitchen and more comfortable porch furniture but this didn’t detract from the wonderful time we had. The owners were easy to work with and our trip was fantastic.

Great cabin overall!

My family stayed here this past month...........the view was fantastic.....the road to get to the cabin as others have stated were a bit steep and narrow. We saw bears quite a few times! The owners were very easy to get in touch with and were very helpful with suggestions of places to go while we were there. The location was great. Getting to Gatlingburg was easy and you are right near the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains. The cabin itself was clean. There were a few things that could be fixed or updated. Although there were pots and pans.......sizes were limited and not many lids to match. The hot tub was a hit with my kids although it could probably use a cleaning. My kid's hair stunk when they came out. The beds were tidy and very comfortable. Plenty of blankets and pillows. Towels were a bit thin but simply put them in the dryer after each use. We chose not to use paper plates and anything disposable to cut down on our garbage. If you do......bring extra garbage bags. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Amazing views of the mountains and overlooking Ober Gatlinburg

We spent 4 nights here for spring break. We live in Florida so this was a real change of pace for the kids to see mountains and feel chilly weather! It is about a ten minute drive down winding roads to town. Owners were incredibly responsive and offered some really helpful tips for things to do including a number of hiking trails that worked out perfectly for us - traveling with three kids and a set of grandparents. To be fair, there are some aging aspects of this cabin, but it is clean, comfortable beds, a great hot tub, stainless appliances and plenty of space. The views are wonderful and you get a true mountain getaway. We spent our entire days in town and in the park so this was perfect for what we needed - a warm cabin overlooking the Smokies for an experience unlike anything my kids have ever experienced being raised in Florida.

Gorgeous view. Very comfortable beds. Quaint charm, but long drive up

Beds were super comfy, good supply of kitchen accessories. No outside space for kids to run about. May be best for families with older children... The drive up to the cabin was a bit long on mountain switchback roads, but worth the view. You can see and hear Ober Gatlinburg from the decks. It is an older cabin that has some wear and tear, but it adds life/charm to the feel. The main floor area where the kitchen, dining, and living room are is a great open are for the entire family to gather. This is where most of our time was spent.

Perfect cabin with an even better view.

Where do I begin? This was an amazing experience. You can step out on the patio and see the ski slopes at Ober Gatlinburg below you. The views are astounding. The cabin is perfect for a family get away. The owners are awesome and so laid back. We had the experience of a lifetime in the cabin. I cried when it was time to leave even though I'd been with my teenagers for 5 days. You get to enjoy Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and the privacy of your own house.

Great Views!!

We had a great time at this rental. I'm not sure what the other two bad reviewers experienced but it is not what happened during my stay at this rental. The house was clean upon arrival. We enjoyed our stay there. It is a long drive to the cabin because it is literally almost to the top of the mountain but the view from the deck is amazing especially for sunrise and sunset. When I first contacted the owner that we arrived he said if the cabin was not up to par he would have the cleaners return and clean again. Fortunately for us there were no problems and the cabin was clean. We enjoyed our stay there and all the things you could do (pool table, fooseball, hot tub). I would recommend this cabin rental to anyone!

Filthy dirty unhealthy worst place we ever stayed

I totally agree with Jamie S and her complete statement. The owners response is not correct and Jamie S. review does reflect what we found. The white covers looked horrible and full of stains. ( maybe what Jamie wrote someone pissed on them is correct) We had mice dropping behind the couch and the window sills where all filthy and dirty. All air condition ducts are totally dirty and brown stuff is apparently running out. (or someone pissed in there) We took an excessive amount of pictures at the time we walked into the dump. I contacted via text the owner and sent him pictures to show his cabin and the filth he expects people to live in and pay for on top of that. The owner replied back the next day via e mail, telling me that the cabin is old. I replied to him age of a building does not mean it has to be dirty filthy and unhealthy. He also assured me that the covers had been cleaned at the dry cleaner (between the lines he said I don't know what I am talking about) I told him that this is impossible. I insisted to have the cleaners clean the place spotless which he arranged. They came and the first thing out of their mouth was we have not been here we did not clean here. When they lifted the cushions I saw left over meals, dirt dust feathers gummy bear and more. Now I knew that the covers have been cleaned for sure as the owner assured me and insisted. My drycleaner also does leave all the dirt when I pick my stuff up. Some people just think they are smarter than others and this owner is one of em. We left the place after 2 days since we all got serious bite marks and itches. we saw that 90% of the windows cant be closed properly( hardware broken or totally missing) and bugs get into the house. This was enough of adventure I needed and we decided to leave after we cleaned the dishes, took down the linen in the beds we used and placed them at the washer. If you do want nice vacations in Gatlinburg "DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE" Home away should be checking on houses owner place on their site or they will loose customers if they have many owners like him. I asked the owner to refund me and he said that he wont due to the strict cancellation policy Home away has, ( must be cancelled before you see it) Where do we have such a thing that we must accept anything and pay for things which do not meet the factual pictures they have on site. These pictures are probably from the day he bought the property. I am more than glad to supply my pictures anyone.
