We had a great time getting away and enjoying this cabin with family! It was a perfect setup for all of us, and we had fun reconnecting and relaxing! It was the perfect location to all the fun Gatlinburg has to offer but far enough away to feel secluded in the mountains. Will definitely stay again when we go back to Gatlinburg.

Wonderful cabin! Super nice host! The only thing is the cabin was not as clean as expected. Its ok though, not the host fault! They even had the cleaners come back out to re mop the floors! Would definitely stay here again. We lovesd it.

On top of the mountain

The house was perfectly set up for our group with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms downstairs with a living area and of course, the pool table. The kids had their own space. It was nice to have bathrooms next to each bedroom. The sunsets were amazing! The location was very convenient to the places we visited. We enjoyed Dollywood and Anakeesta, but don't go during spring break! It was totally crowded with very long wait lines. Communications with the owners were easy and timely. My only recommendation would be to increase the lighting in the kitchen/living area upstairs.

Nice cabin

The cabin was nice and clean, the view was amazing. I am not giving 5 star for couple of reasons 1. The amenities has “Grilled” mentioned but they should clearly mention it as charcoal grill not propane/gas. We took the charcoal as they didn’t provide it (usually properly owner provides propane/gas) but our attempt to grill on charcoal failed as the grill was outside the cabin and little cold, we lost 2 hours in burning charcoal and couldn’t cook as well. 2. The standing shower was very tiny in 2 bedrooms which has queen beds, it was very hard to stand and took shower.

Just wanted to let people know, this property is great for a family,even with small children. There were 14 of usWith children ranging from age six months to 9. The game room was a big hit with the kids which was nice for the adults. While they played, we could relax. I would recommend if stairs are an issue with.I would bring a baby gate as they are not furnished.We even got to see a bear strolling around, we kept our doors locked in our cars. I can't say enough good things about the host and the property. I highly recommended.

Was a great cabin it fit our needs very well. Only issue was the dryer was really slow 2 hours for a load. Other than that great location, great size, plenty of kitchen items for our large group. Would definitely rent again
