    Everything we expected and more
    The property was exactly as advertised! It was the perfect amount of space for our family: four adults, teen/tween daughters and a small dog. The mattresses were the most comfortable thing ever! Everything was very clean and I felt very safe letting our dog roam and sniff (inside) while we were home without worrying she’d find something dangerous. There was even plenty of good places for her crate to fit out of the way. They obviously do a thorough job cleaning because even though it’s pet friendly it never seemed like our pup found any “suspicious” spots to sniff at or anything. If you bring a pup along there is not much of a “yard” for them to use for going potty but we made it work without any problems! There is an incredible view just a short walk down the road and the house itself is very peaceful and quiet. The kitchen had most of the utensils and things you’d need and some salt and pepper but you’ll want to bring along any extra spices you’d want for cooking and thingsv like ziplock baggies. The hot tub was so relaxing after a long hike and the family loved playing pool with each other. We loved having Roku tv and were able to watch anything we wanted in the evenings. I can’t say enough great things about this place … we hope to get to come back some day!!

    Beautiful cabin in the mountains!
    This home was such a treat. Really, the perfect getaway with my family. How often do you get a rental with 4 king sized bedrooms? It was plenty of space and the hot tub on the back deck overlooking the woods was a bonus! Host was really great with communication and the check in and check out process was easy. We liked how it felt like a true log cabin but with modern touches (nice tvs and keyless entry, etc). Thanks so much for the visit!

    Anniversary Trip
    We brought our elderly parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. The cabin was perfect with flat parking and a master on the main. It was also very close to the Gatlinburg strip. The roads are very curvy and mountainous getting there, but the cabin was perfect for us! The owners were very responsive when we had an issue with the oven, but it was definitely not a dealbreaker. Lovely stay and great accommodations!

    Great family getaway.
    Very nice cabin, with plenty of room to congregate or have your own space. Nice up to date appliances, and the hot tub and pool table were great. Easy access from the road, and a short drive to downtown Gatlinburg. Super easy check in and check out, and great communication with the owners.

    Family getaway
    We loved the cabin. Had plenty of room for everyone. Played pool, watched the bears, they even came right across the front porch!! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals for the whole family each night. The huge walk In shower in the master bedroom with the chair in it was great for my 80 year old parents and everyone loved the mattresses. Couldn’t have ask for better owners to rent from either. Any questions we might have had they were very quick to respond. Am overall great experience.
