It is very nice and clean, the owners are very nice, if you go during wintertime you should have a 4x 4 vehicle because the house is on the mountain climb and is very steep and too many turns.

Perfect Long Weekend Getaway

We loved our stay at this cottage. The location is perfect, short drive to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We were hoping to see bears and were not disappointed. We saw 4 bears on two separate occasions while sitting on the deck. The cottage is super cute and cozy. It has all the necessities, including kitchen equipment and bbq. My daughter loved spending time in the hot tub and having breakfast on the deck. The ice hockey table was a nice touch and kept my daughter entertained. The cottage is at the top of some very steep roads, but our car handled it fine in the clear conditions.

Spring Break Tennessee Trip

The house was beautiful and was set up for family fun. We enjoyed the open concept and the games area. The kitchen had the tools we needed. We really appreciated being able to have our dog with us, and she enjoyed the cozy blankets that were there for her. The only thing that was unexpected was the steep drive up to the house. It would be helpful to have known more about that in the listing.

Nature Getaway - Saw Bears

This cabin was a perfect spot nestled in the Smoky Mountains forest. We enjoyed the balcony with the hot tub after our hike to Mt Leconte (30 min away). You get to enjoy the beauty and quiet of nature while still being close to all the stuff in Gatlinburg (10 mins) Everything we needed was in the cabin, we cooked all breakfasts and one dinner at the cabin (used the grill). Showers are awesome! Bed was too soft for our tastes, like sinking into a marshmallow and master room is open loft… I missed that in the description. Best surprise, we saw 2 bears at breakfast time. What a thrill!!

Great Stay!

The property was just as listed. It worked great for my husband, me, our 8 month old, and cat. We saw bears most of the days (and our neighbors saw them everyday), so if you are looking for bear sightings, this is your cabin! We really enjoyed being able to walk out of the cabin and straight onto Cove Mountain Trail - there’s a nice view in less than a mile if you go right. Close proximity to town and many other hikes. Very clean and well kept. We all enjoyed our stay!

Long weekend family getaway

The cabin was spacious for our family of 4 plus 2 dogs. It was clean upon our arrival and comfortable. The host gave accurate directions that were very helpful getting up the mountain. The game room and hot tub were very enjoyable as well. We saw a family of bears and cyotes at the house as well. Overall, a very enjoyable long weekend. We would definitely return to this property.

Nice hidden on hills

It was creepy arriving at night since the house is up in the mountains, didnt even want to leave once we were up there. Got used to the drive up and down after a couple days. We brought our dogs along with us. Nice side patio for barbecue and hot tub. We seen 5 bears across the street coming down the hill from the big house on the top.nice parking spots for 2 to 3 cars.

Family trip to GSMNP

We had a wonderful stay. This cabin is beautiful and has all of the amenities you can think of and plenty to entertain the kids during downtime from hiking and Dollywood. We saw 2 bears in our yard! It is way up at the top of the mountain. I was not familiar with the roads and found the trek up in the dark a little scary. It was worth it though and we had a lovely week.

Great cabin

Beautiful interior, very clean. Druve to cabin is challenging with all the turns and curves. Be very careful at night driving up and down from location. Roads dont have any reflectors or lines. There are sharp drop offs at side of road. Although it is a great cabin we will try to find something not as high up next time

Fantastic pet friendly house + bears!

Just loved this house. In my family, we call this one a “do again”. A review I saw said the hills here were extreme… maybe a little more than the average on the other side of ski mountain rd, but it wasn’t any problem at all, and by the second day i knew the path in and out. It’s got a nice trail in the national park across the street. Remember to keep your car doors locked! Our third morning, we had a bear on the deck and then he opened our car door and got in. Thankfully, he just left behind some dirt and no damage after checking out the back and passenger seats… so a good story, but could have been bad. Comfortable beds, and good pressure in the showers and good internet if you need it.

Bear Experience

We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed seeing the bears; however because of bears would not walk in the area. The house was very nice but did contact property manager regarding bottom step of stairs as it needs to to highlighted with strip or paint for safety and the facing of front door which has safety chain attached is loose. We did not realize the drive up the mountain to house would be as bad as it was, but it was a beautiful view going up. The driveway is very trickey to get in and out of. Overall our stay was great.

The location of the cabin is not detailed enough.

IN the future understand that the cabin is at over 2900 foot elevation up the mountain. We called a Lyft to take us to the grocery store that night we arrived. Warn others to come prepared. Only one Lyft driver would come to us. She had never been that high up before. The cabin was wonderful and comfortable. The driveway scrubbed my SUV each time we went in and out. We are in our late 50s early 60s. This information would have been very helpful.

The hot tub was perfect after long days on our feet and the games were fun for enjoying the evenings. The driveway was tight for my F150. Getting in the driveway was fine. Backing out was more of a struggle. After a couple of days coming going I got the hang of a way that worked well for us.
