Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time enjoying this cabin as there was quite a bit of snowfall during our stay. Plenty of movies to watch, games to play that allowed us to never have a dull moment. Will look to rent this cabin again or another a bit higher on the hill for a better view of the mountains.

Beautiful home and Location

We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful house. We had plenty of room and loved that every bedroom had a king bed with a private bathroom. It was in a great location and made going to everything a breeze. The game room and hot tub was a big bonus for us to enjoy in the evenings. I would definitely recommend this rental. We even saw a bear when we were leaving one day. Thanks again for everything! We really enjoyed our time in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge ❤️

Dream Family cabin with kids but zero outdoor space

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awesome family cabin. The arcade,movie room and hot tub are terrific for kids and adults. Rooms are spacious and having a bathroom in each bedroom is amazing. If you're looking for outdoor space, this isn't the cabin for also offers little for view however, it's spacious, clean and has large beautiful balconies which offer space for lounging outside. Super close to Gatlinburg, another bonus!Overall,for a kids vacation, it was perfect. I wouldn't rent again due to zero outdoor space and lack of privacy. For this trip, it worked out very well.

Great for kids

The cabin was perfect for families with kids. They got to play all day in the arcade and movie theater. The cabin itself was dated and there are no views and is surrounded by other cabins, so we probably wouldn’t go back, but the kids really enjoyed it. There were a couple of issues with the toilet and bathroom, but management was very responsive and they took care of it right away. Overall the cabin was fine and served its purpose but we likely would want to stay in one that is newer, a little more privacy and something with a view of the mountains.

Great location and lots of room

The location was terrific. Our kids loved the game room. The movie room was nice. It was very nice having so many bathrooms for 9 of us. The bedding and pillows were lacking and in need of refreshing. The Wi-Fi was not very strong. Most of us were not able to use it. We also were unable to stream or mirror our Netflix/YouTube TV because the Wi-Fi was so poor.

Gatlinburg

We were 11 people. We had plenty of space for all. The kids were going to use the bunk beds, but the upper bunk does not have a guard rail, so I would not advise using it. All bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. The kids loved the downstairs movie and game room. This house does not have any outdoor space for kids except to walk up to the pool area. It is really close to town and the local supermarket.

November 2024 Stay

The cabin was large enough that we had plenty of room. We really enjoyed the large table. However, some of the beds were uncomfortable, there was a very foul order in the kitchen area and we finally decided it was from the garbage disposal, the dishes in the dishwasher did not look clean. There was food residue on the inside door of the dishwasher. The baseboards were in bad need of dusting. The bathroom sinks were sluggish in draining the water. The location is excellent, but not sure about staying again.

So much fun!!

We loved the cabin. The arcade and movie theatre were a great space for the kids. Communication with the management team about a dryer malfunction was very quick and efficient. I only gave it 4 stars because of a few minor issues that added up… lots of different methods of receiving information made it somewhat confusing—text email VRBO and an app. The dryer was glitchy and didn’t really work. The cabin itself was great but the floors were noisy between stories and the basement was hard to sleep in because of this. The kitchen was a bit small but appliances and dishes were nice. The tv downstairs was non functional and the theatre wasn’t user friendly. Overall very happy and glad we stayed there!

Family Christmas

Everything was wonderful. The Rooms were large and comfortable for everyone. Kitchen was roomy for me to cook breakfast. Had all you needed but food. Christmas Tree was still up and made it amazing to look at. The Table of my dreams. Would love to have one just like it. Plenty of room for everyone to sit comfortable. They had a highchair already there as well. The only complant I even heard was the Dryer wouldn't dry. I'm not sure if they even knew how to run it because I alway wash before I go and when I get home. Really wasn't a big deal for the rest of us. I would have given a five star all the way through but that one thing. I look forward to maybe renting again in the summer.

Extremely Poor Management

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’ll start by saying the cabin is nice. Spending over $9,000 for a week rental. On Monday pm we noticed the dryer didn’t dry our towels and suits from the pool day we had. We called Monday pm to report it. Tuesday pm a man comes out and cleans lent out of the vent on the outside of the cabin and says it’s good without trying to run the dryer to test it. It didn’t work. We called Tuesday to report it. Wednesday am they said an appliance man would be out, at 530 Wednesday afternoon he shows up. Says he has been here before for similar issues. He stated the owner is too cheap to pay him to fix it properly so his fix was to unhook the dryer vent pipe and leave it unattached until the cabin maintenance can come fix it. The dryer was working after he left, except when you ran it, all of the steam from the dryer filled the basement and sent the house’s smoke alarms off. We have videos. So we call Wednesday pm to report it and Thursday am. Thursday around 2pm the maintenance team comes out to replace vent pipe, making the dryer usable. I know it’s a dryer, but we packed knowing we could do laundry. The owner called to speak with my father Thursday, simply stating things happen and he’s sorry. After we spent $9,000 for the week we get an I’m sorry. It took 3 days for the easy fix. 14 of us stayed in the cabin, forced to wear dirty clothes and use dirty towels, had to go to the store to buy towels, spent an abundant amount of time on the phone dealing with this issue. After reading 2 other reviews, the owner has know about this dryer issue since January and failed to fix it, causing our family a magnitude of stress on vacation. I’ve called twice asking for Matt, the owner, to call me so we could discuss this and what he can do to justify his lack of ownership and accountability. He refuses to call me back. They say there are two sides to every story, I assure you this $9,000 story does not have another side. N

We got names of other properties at this location and will try and stay over the hill next time. Maintenance was excellent as there were a couple of things we called on. We enjoyed our stay at this cabin and would stay there again. The perks were extra bonus, just couldn’t take advantage of all of them—no one has control of the weather!

Great friends' reunion

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Twenty years after seeing everyone, our group decided to reunite in Gatlinburg. We had a great time and Spark of Life was the perfect lodging for the five couples. Some of us own vacation homes and we all commented on how well appointed the property is. The layout was great and there was plenty of public space for us to all be together. The location is really nice, as it's just on the Pigeon Forge edge of Gatlinburg. It made it easy to get to both towns. With a grocery store at the bottom of the hill, getting provisions was easy and our pizza order made it to us in less than 20 minutes. We all agree we would stay here again!

Cabin is exactly as pictured and represented. We were married in Pigeon Forge and had family come in from Illinois and South Carolina to stay the weekend and everything was perfect!
