Great Views, Lots of Room!
We loved this cabin on the mountain just above downtown Gatlinburg! The views off the decks were just breathtaking! The drive up the mountain is a little tricky, but well worth it for this cabin. We had 8 adults and an infant and there was plenty of room for everyone to hangout and have their own space too! Our teenagers loved the game room downstairs and made the most of the pool table for sure. It was clean, had great views, and tons of space. Definitely recommend!

Cozy Retreat
When we arrived, I was disappointed due to rain outside and coolness and darkness inside. While the cabin stayed on the dark side (a few cozy lamps would have been nice), it warmed up quickly to a very comfortable temperature. I would suggest a quick improvement for the owners: Rip off the pealing wallpaper and just paint the walls. The morning and night views were fantastic however. The fireplace is lovely. As other reviews stated, the long curvy road up the mountain required concentration on the part of the driver. A young bear even came up to the cabin! We were all very excited about that and watched him from the deck.

Great family cabin!
We loved the cabin! It was perfect for our family of 8. Location to Gatlinburg was good, not too far. We spent most days visiting Gatlinburg. Bears visited the cabin daily and we watched them from the upper deck. The view is very pretty. Drive up and down the mountain was steep.

Breathtaking Views
Quintessential cabin to enjoy the high altitudes of the Appalachian. Due to the snowy weather we ended up staying in all weekend with a roaring fire, hot cocoa, and board games. Had some minor issues with a kitchen appliance but the property owner and Evolve Rental were quick to respond. Would definitely return again!

Needs updating, but great location
This cabin is at the highest point of this area and the views were amazing. From the listing of 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, I assumed each bedroom had access to a bathroom, but upstairs there are 2 bedrooms and one bathroom, and there is a full bathroom in the basement away from all bedrooms. I found this out right before our stay only because I asked for the lay out. I probably wouldn't have booked this cabin if I had known the layout at the time of booking. Guest contact was very attentive even though it was a holiday weekend. For the cabin itself, we found several minor issues and many parts were outdated and just didn't look nice (hot tub cover was shredding in the inside and there were no head rests in it, cabinet knobs and door knobs were loose). The washer wasn't working and the dryer stopped working as well, but the guest contact told us he would issue us a credit for that inconvenience since he was unable to get anyone to come out to repair it. The pool table was not in good shape and only one pool stick was usable. The basement (game room) was so cold compared to the rest of the house that we hardly stayed down there. The walls between the bedrooms upstairs were so thin, we had very little privacy. We saw mice multiple times, and although that's to be expected in the mountains, we had to clean out the entire silverware tray multiple times after finding droppings in it. Overall, we had a great time with our family but I wouldn't book this cabin again, simply because there are so many options out there in better condition.

Great cabin with great view!
We enjoyed our stay- very roomy and nice to have 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms as we had 9 people. Also loved the game room area and hot tub and views from the decks. As noted in other reviews- we did see bears...maybe a little too close but that was part of the adventure. Also this is at the top of the mountain so with all the twists and turns to get there we never did that drive in the dark. Some suggestions for owners- need more kitchen towels and dishcloths as well as dishwasher pods. Smaller plates would be nice for breakfast/lunch items. The two upstairs rooms without fans get warm so maybe a standing floor fan would help. Also, the upper deck was very dusty so maybe hadn't been cleaned/swept and there are some floor boards with wide holes the chair legs often got stuck. Very enjoyable trip!

Great Views
Gorgeous views from the porch - the drive up is terrifying, but after a few times it's not so bad. Our biggest complaint was the kitchen could be better stocked - there were no dry measuring cups, only a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon. A mixing bowl had a hole in the bottom, pots were very old/worn. Things above plus a few "nice to haves" salt & pepper, maybe a crock pot, would have gone a long way. A few other issues were cob webs in easy to reach places, a flickering light by the kitchen. We had a really nice time though.

I really enjoyed staying at this particular cabin. He had more than enough materials to accommodate all 8 of us that stayed. The Cabin a lot of space to do fun things. The cabin is located at the mountain top with a beautiful view of the city at night and a beautiful morning view on the balcony. The cabin has three levels but two of them have a patio. The jacuzzi was very relaxing and enjoyable. I overall enjoyed the beautifulness of the cabin and location.

No gas grill as shown on website. Master bedroom bathroom light switch knob is broken. Master bedroom window glass is broken. Master bedroom sink has very low cold water pressure. Upstairs bathroom light switch above the stool does not work properly. One of the dining table captain's chair has a loose arm. Kitchen could be a little better stocked with paper goods and dish soap. One wine glass was found cracked. Great views but a bit difficult to get to after dark if one is not familiar with the area.

Lovely mountain cabin
A wonderful cozy property with four private queen bed rooms really helped sleeping arrangements work well. Nestled at the very top of the mountain cabin areas, be prepared for an steep uphill windy drive up where you will be rewarded from the deck with a beautiful view of the mountains and Pidgeon Forge off in the distance lighted up at night. Basement has a pool table and video console with old school video games we all really enjoyed, even our 11 and 14 year olds. All bedrooms had plenty of bathroom space - extra large bathroom and shower on lower floor makes up for on very small shower in one main floor bedroom. The bathroom upstairs and other areas of the house have sky lights that created nice lighting and enabled us to see a rare sighting of a large luna moth. Bears are beautiful to see but prevalent. We heard that since the 2016 fire they have been more present. We had at least 25 bear sightings on trails in town and around the cabin. Just need to remain aware and keep your distance. Since the fire grill use in the area needs to be charcoal in the front of the house and not on the deck so be prepared for this. We were able to enjoy it. This cabin enabled us close access to great trails and rafting which was our goal and was a great place to stay for this purpose.

We had a wonderful time. It was a 3 generation family vacation. We all, but especially our little grandchildren, loved the cabin and the bear family that was usually in the back every morning however once greeted us sitting in front of our front door when we returned. We all moaned when it was time for us to leave. We would recommend the cabin and area we stayed in to anyone. Thank you for a great experience!

A little R &R in the Smokey Mountains
The cabin was just like the photos. It sits at the top of the mountain and had a great view from the back porch. We had plenty of linens and paper products. We saw bear on 4 days of our stay. The only reason I gave the cleanliness a 4 star was because there were cobwebs on the light fixtures and most of the woodwork.
