BEAUTIFUL CABIN

This was a beautiful cabin, and a beautiful location! My wife and I enjoyed the amazing view from our balcony every day. The steep driveway was certainly a bit challenging at first, but got easier as the week went on. Would highly recommend!

Great Mountain Experience!

Was accommodating for infants and children. Great location to the National park. We used the grill and the grill scent does bring our bears! Saw one checking out the grill afterwards in the evening!

Amazing house in the mountains

We would definitely stay here again. The driveway is something. I am surprised there isn’t a rail on the one side and the electrical box being at the top. Beautiful views that high up. Gorgeous home and loved the size of the kitchen. It was so handy having the grill on the deck right off the kitchen. Thanks for letting us stay and being able to use your property!!

Absolutely Beautiful Cabin

This cabin looks just like the pictures, it’s truly gorgeous! The views are breathtaking! The kitchen is well stocked, and the owners paid close attention to details downs to the beautiful light fixtures throughout. Beds are comfortable! We never waited long for a response to our many questions while planning our trip. We would most definitely rent from these owners again and look forward to visiting real soon in the future ! Thank you Gary for everything you did to make our vacation enjoyable.

Spectacular Vacation Home

“The Views” and the home itself… everything was perfect! Our family fit comfortably with so much space to spread out and relax or play games. The Kitchen is so fabulous we never even went out to eat. Our minivan did not make it up the driveway which we were completely aware was a possibility prior to arrival so we parked on the pad at the bottom and my son in laws Nissan did make it up, so he was our shuttle all week! All in all amazing house, hope we can rent it again!!

Anniversary trip

Had a great time! The cabin was amazing, there was everything and more in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Views were outstanding. We did not take the steep driveway warning seriously, we did not have problems with my All Wheel drive Edge but it is very steep. Not a lot of room for a truck to park at the top. We were packing the car and left the back hatch open, we lost a 5 pound bag of lifesavers to a bear. Only left the car for less than 2 minutes. Nice location to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Would definitely stay here again

Spacious and Beautiful!

Such an easy, true mountain experience. We even saw a small bear while making s‘mores (and quickly went upstairs to watch from the balcony). My husband, myself, our 3 kids, and our parents (8 total) slept comfortably with enough private bedrooms for all adults. The view was breathtaking and the property was gorgeous. Instructions were accurate and easy. The driveway was pretty scary for us not used to mountains city folk but my husband and father in law handled the steep drive beautifully while I put a sweater on my head 😅. Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful cabin and view!!

Absolutely loved the cabin and the view!! The cabin itself was very clean and was well stocked with everything you would need for your stay. My family also loved eating at Elvira’s cafe which is located at the end of the road. The driveway, however, is a different story. It is it for the faint of heart lol. An AWD or 4x4 vehicle is a definite must!! It will make navigating the driveway easier. Once I figured out how to navigate the driveway, it definitely became easier. I will definitely rent this cabin again!!

Nice location

The location was great. Beautiful cabin. Property was clean except for the floors. Walking barefoot from the shower to the bed, feet were black. TV in the bedroom with the white farmhouse furniture would not stay connected to the WiFi so my husband and I could not watch it for the first several days. Finally on the 3rd and 4th day it decided to stay connected. Overall our stay was enjoyable and the price was great. No major issues that would prevent us from returning in the future.

Breathtaking View

We had a wonderful week at this cabin. Most of the reviews mention the driveway. Yes...it is a hard one to get up. That is the price you pay for the beautiful view. I drive a Kia Sportage and I would put it in sports mode and all wheel drive. Get as big of a run as I could and floor it. Right before I got to the top it would feel like I wasn't going to make it, but always did. We did see a bear our first day which was cool, but made going outside a little scarier. We finally decided to make a fire our last day. The bear was back, but as soon as he heard our voice he went back up into the woods. I believe he was more scared of us, then we were of him. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything that you need. This cabin and the view is beautiful!

Great Family Vacation!

Would highly recommend! This is an extremely nice house with amazing views! I have to say the driveway is as bad as everyone says! we have a front wheel drive Chevy Traverse and it Would Not go up the driveway! I lived in TN for many years and I'm telling you unless you have 4 wheel drive you're not getting up this drive way! Luckily we took 2 vehicles and the other vehicle is 4 wheel drive so we parked at the bottom and had to take the 4 wheel drive 2 trips up and down the driveway every time we went somewhere. With that being said, we really enjoyed our visit! Communication was always great. They always got back to me asap no matter what kind of questions I was asking. The house is very child friendly. We even saw a bear in front of the house one morning. Would definitely recommend and I'd go back again.

Great cabin with beautiful views

My family enjoyed the cabin itself. It was clean, accommodating, and peaceful. Beautiful sunsets. Well equipped kitchen. The driveway is another matter. It is possible to drive up the driveway with a front wheel drive vehicle, at least on a dry day, if you have proper momentum. But the driveway texture in the middle (provided for traction) will eat your tires. On one of our trips up, we didn't have enough momentum, stopped at a weird angle and ended up needing a tow truck to correct the angle so we could back down the driveway safely. We ended up needing to buy new tires to drive home. When we rented a 4-wheel drive Jeep, it went up pretty easily in low gear. You also want something with some clearance otherwise you will scrape the bottom of your vehicle on some of the turns. Save yourself some heartache and follow the 4-wheel/all-wheel drive recommendation. If you do, I am sure you will enjoy this cabin as we did even with the mishaps.

Mountain Getaway

The property was amazIng. The views were breathtaking. The owner was very prompt in getting back with us about an issue we had. Overall a great stay EXCEPT for the driveway. The driveway was a NIGHTMARE!!!! IT IS STRAIGHT UP AND A 90 DEGREE TURN AT THE TOP!! You can not slow down once you start up the hill. You have to gun it at the bottom and dont let up. Coming down one day it was raining and we slid down part of the driveway. I drove a front wheel drive honda crv. My other family drove a Nissan rouge. We both had tons of issues getting up and down. My other family even had to buy new tires when they returned home because the tires slid so much going down and spun so much going up it wore down to the wires. Take the posting serious. 4 wheel drive is a MUST!!

4 WHEEL DRIVE REQUIRED

We booked this stay over a year ago and at the time there were no reviews regarding the driveway. HOWEVER, we failed to make it up to the house on TWO separate occasions, one of which required a tow truck. Most cabins in TN say 4 wheel drive, all wheel drive recommended, and every other stay our vehicles have made it just fine. This listing says it but means REQUIRED. We had two small SUVs that were not all wheel or 4 wheel that both failed to make it. If this happens to you, good luck because your mirrors are also worthless when you have to back down the side of a mountain with two decent curves in it. The house itself was wonderful. We are a family and our kids are grown with their own spouses. Each couple got their own floor essentially which worked very well for us. We loved the hot tub, the pool table and the big dining table for games. At the house it is an active bear area so we spent a lot of time watching for bears. They come right up into the fire pit and even came onto the lowest level of the porch. It was wonderful to be able to see the wildlife. We spent a lot of time on the second level deck in the outdoor living area and enjoyed the ring game. We found the indoor furniture to be not so comfortable however the beds were AMAZING. We all slept so well! Between the owner or previous guests the home was well stocked with detergent, pots/pans, mixing bowls, spices, etc. which was a nice surprise. Overall very enjoyable when you subtract the stress of the driveway.

The house and stay were amazing. Right in the heart of everything you would want to see in heart of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Also, tons of great spots to stop and hike in the Smokey's close to the area. The house is beautiful and the views from the balcony were amazing. Would definitely recommend the house and when we return to the area, this will be the first place I look for. A wonderful, relaxing vacation!!!

Its a beautiful cabin with everything you need. Very quite area with nice views. The driveway is steep, but it isn't bad with a 4x4 vehicle. I became an expert driving up it after a few times. We enjoyed watching the bears from the upper deck and we did see a mama bear with 3 cubs playing in the road. Highly recommend staying here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunset Lodge! The entire place is beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen is awesome. The views are absolutely gorgeous!!! My husband and I brought his Mother in celebration of her 90th birthday. The Smoky Mountain fall weather was “porch-sittin’ perfect”! We even discovered we could easily “spot” Sunset Lodge from the Foothills Parkway. The steep driveway was even steeper than we had imagined. But our Ram 2500 had NO PROBLEM conquering the driveway. Me? Well, I just closed my eyes and pretended I was on a steep roller coaster ride. No problem at all! Thanks for sharing your beautiful place.

Perfect family getaway

The cabin is beautiful, and just as pictured. The driveway is not for the faint of heart, but once you drive it a few times-it’s not so bad. Very quiet neighborhood, with beautiful views. We even saw a mama bear and her three cubs while there! The location of the cabin is close to everything. Communication with the owner was simple, easy, and effective. She responded to every message I had within a few hours. Truly a great experience.
