Guests will not have access to one closet located within the home containing cleaning supplies. Guests will also not have access to the detached garage. Other things to note: It is a 25-yard gravel driveway from the paved road to the top of the drive. For about 10 yards, there is about a 6% grade before it flattens at the top. There is additional parking in front of the garage just off the paved street if you prefer not to drive up the small hill. This property has no neighbors directly behind it (only to one side) which means we see a lot of bear activity. Do NOT leave any food in your car or outside of the home. All trash is to be placed in the secure bear bins at the end of the driveway. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -

It was myself (42/f) with my 2 sons and their girlfriends (23, 20, 19, 18) and our 2 puppies. We are local in Knoxville but stay a weekend every fall in a cabin in Gatlinburg. There is not a single thing we would change about this place. There was someone for everyone, plenty of space, and comfortable. I have stayed in MANY rentals and as someone that loves to cook for my family, I can honestly say, this cabin has the best stocked kitchen we have ever stayed at!!! From the small things to the big things. Things you wouldn't think you may need while away. We loved this cabin and plan to visit again soon.We also saw a beautiful owl lastinight. ##### Samantha B.

While not a new property it is very clean and maintained. Comfortable and easy to make yourself at home in. The Hostess Brit was attentive and responsive when we needed anything. The only thing is the narrow stairs - but you get used to them. Well stocked with the items you need to cook and clean. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Gretchen K.
