I booked the Hive Lodge with hopes of our family being able to spend quality time together with plenty to do and not be crowded. This place did not disappoint. We all had plenty of bedrooms and space to lounge, eat and play. We had a ping pong tournament! It was so much fun. Prison city is nearby and we enjoyed ice cream and shopping in the quaint city. The grounds were nice with a fire-it that we used nightly. I would recommend The Hive Lodge for large families to come together. ##### Cathy H.

We could all get in the great room with our being in each others way. The drive up to the property was a little scary but thankfully I didnโ€™t have to drive. The young folks thought nothing of it as they ventured out each day sometime several times. Iโ€™m 85 and could have done it but I didnโ€™t thanks to my children. ##### Julia V.

My daughter had a gymnastics meet just 2 hours south of here and we wanted to spend some family time while we were all close. We finally landed on this wonderful place. We arrived late at night and we were slightly intimidated by the steep drive up however we all made it uo without 4x4 which was great. We were impressed by the size of the property and unique layout we had a great time exploring. We had a fire and thanks to the information provided by the host we had grabbed firewood before hand to make sure we didnt have to go searching around the property. We roasted smoars and the next day had a long awaited and needed resting day we got to take in the beauty of the land and enjoy each others company. We were expecting snow the next day the host contacted us that evening and explained the procedure and important information we were so happy to have a host that was helpful and kind. We had the best time building snowman and playing in the snow overall i would highly recommend this place we never left and had one of the best times 5 stars ##### Temperance R.

The first time was a few years ago and only a section of the upstairs was available. This time the entire lodge was open and it was great. We had 14 in our party and still had 2 rooms we did not use. There is plenty of room in the lodge as well as convenient parking. The lodge is very clean and plenty of amenities and supplies included. Having a nice yard area is defiantly a plus since most cabins don't have yard space. We enjoyed our stay and will defiantly be back. ##### Ben D.

Huge cabin both lower and upper floors-great for everyone to enjoy playing pool, ping pong, huge Jenga blocks, checkers, Cd player, TV with sports, etc. Quiet and plenty of rooms and bathrooms for all of us. Huge kitchen and eating tables. We really enjoyed our stay. ##### Bill M.

There's a ping pong table, pool table and corn hole boards to keep you entertained while hanging out. The kitchen is well stocked with whatever you need and there's plenty of places to sit and hangout for the whole crowd. We really enjoyed it and had a great time. Only drawback (very minor one) was that the wi-fi was a bit spotty but that's not surprising given the location. All in all I definitely recommend and would go back in a heart beat ##### Benjamin L.

Brian was great and very responsive. Would recommend ##### scott m. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Pradeep M. 21 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Cabin - perfect for a big group The only reason we rated it a 4 stars is because the upstairs and downstairs are like different units and no connectivity from inside downstairs to upstairs. The other thing is the WiFi a couple of us needed to work a day on the trip and WiFi didn't help. Other than the above it is a wonderful cabin for large group of people and the view in the morning is amazing. Plenty of space both inside and outside. A couple of recommendations would be Fix the WiFi if possible and also have a few additional blankets both downstairs and upstairs. Overall we are very happy, Brian was very helpful and we will rent it again in future. ##### Pradeep M.

Amazing!! ##### Gabriela D. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Peggy B. 4 Jul 2021 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Disappointed.... I have rented places in this area for the last 10 years and I will say this has been the most negative. ..Two of the bedrooms had no privacy because you had to go through an upstairs and downstairs bedroom to get to the exterior stairs. Either you do not have two of the bedrooms or you have no stairway connection between the floors. Guests cannot be expected to allow traffic through their private bedrooms. Therefore, to go from one floor to the other, guests have to go outside down to parking area, up a steep drive way and across another parking area. With the two exit door rooms occupied, there is only one means of egress from each floor. This needs to be disclosed on the listing. It would have been a deal breaker for us. ..The screened porch upstairs is lovely, but there is no interior access to it. The downstairs porch had no furniture, so could not be used, although listing said it did. ..The ceiling fan in one room was so noisy it could not be used. ..The linens provided were just sheets and a coverlet the weight of the sheets. There were no blankets anywhere in the house for the cold natured guests. ..The kitchen and refrigerator were very small for the advertised 20 guests. We had to use our coolers for extra items. ...House is very dated and has stained carpet. ..Did love the dining room tables. Great for a large group. . ##### Peggy B.

Clean, spacious, excellent area. We had 2 dogs with us, plenty of yard to walk them. The owners are super helpful, nice. We went golfing at Smoky Mountain Country Club, just a short drive. Excellent! The casino was an easy drive, fun. The road up to the cabin was not bad, we had a cargo van. No problems. We have nothing negative to write, all positive. Hope we can return someday. ##### Michelle D.
