Beautiful views, very comfortable beds, great location, bathroom attached to all bedrooms. Really enjoyed the game and theater room. Lots of amenities provided. And pool and hot tub was very relaxing. We even saw a bear cub during our stay! Will definitely stay at Up The Ante TN again!
We absolutely enjoyed staying here! This cabin was the perfect stay for my family of 7 that went! Kids enjoyed the game room and had so much! Loved in the swings on the deck to just look out at the mountains and enjoy the view!! The hosts were in constant communication and ensured we had everything we needed! I'd highly recommend staying here!
An awesome experience had by all. View was best we've ever had!!! Kitchen, bathrooms and game room were well equipped. The large dining room table that sat 10 was wonderful!!! And the spacious kitchen was wonderful for three families to share preparing meals in!
Wonderful house, great linens and lovely views. Plenty of clean rooms and fun things to do. The swings on the porch are wonderful!
The only draw back was there were not enough things in the kitchen to use for serving food. Bowls, platters, etc… plenty of pots and pans but a small amount of serving pieces.
The kitchen is huge and the appliances are wonderful!
Such a fun place to stay!!!
We had a wonderful stay during our trip to Tennessee. This cabin was excellent and had many fun amenities for the kids (and us parents too). The views are amazing!
We had a great time together the cabin was perfect for our stay. Heads up, bear sightings every morning and evening. We had great weather!

This property was amazing! Very clean and lots of extra touches from the owners! Great views of the mountains also. Our teenage kids loved the game room and theater room. We will definitely book this place again on our next trip to Gatlinburg!
The house was great. Loved the layout, the view was amazing. Anthony was extremely helpful with any questions we had and provided a lot of information about the surrounding areas. The game room and movie theater kept the kids busy. Definitely recommend checking this one out.
The house was clean and had a nice view. Not far from central location for shopping and eating. Anthony & Whitney is very nice and very quick to respond if we needed anything. Will definitely book again.
We stayed here as a group of twelve. 6 adults and 6 kids. The house was clean and well prepared. All the necessities were already there and then some. The game room and the hot tub were nice for everyone from the kids to the adults. The theater room was also fantastic. Communication with the host was easy and fast. They were available the entire trip to help with questions. The website for the property was extremely useful. The neighborhood was quiet and clean. Easy access to downtown. Will definitely stay here again!
Fantastic stay at "Up the Ante" cabin. We had a family of 9, with five being kids ages 9-17. Plenty of space for everyone and kids spent most of the time downstairs with games, movie room, and hot tub. Whole cabin was fantastic. Hosts provided adequate supply of everything!
Pool is within walking distance, right down hill. Cabin is about five minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, 15-20 minutes from Pigeon Forge.
No issues during our entire stay. Hosts responded immediately to any questions.
1. Had dead lady bug on bed and roaches on floor upon check in.
2. Mold smell in one of the bedroom.
3. Owner did not give any supply, like toilet paper and paper towel.
4. Did not have enough towel, we have to ask for it with back and forth argument.
5 two of the lights in kitchen not working.
6. Owner sent me picture of damage that none of our family member saw or recognized. He might be renovating his house on travelers money, may be sending same pictures to every travelor to make money.
7.He controlled house temperature entire time, does not allowed us to control room temperature as we have a small kids with us. It was very inconvenient.
8. Overall very bad experience, will never rent house from this owner.
We had a great stay at Up the Ante!! The owners make everything so streamlined having a detailed online guide to the cabin. The kids in our group loved the game room and movie room. We had plenty of space with 4 adults and 5 kids. If I had to give any constructive criticism it would be to maybe consider some dressers or drawers in the bedrooms. We loved the proximity to downtown Gatlinburg but still being able to have a beautiful Mountain View!
