Great getaway
This property is just as described! It was perfect for our family vacation. The home had plenty of space and was laid out perfect to fit our group of 6 adults and a 3 month old. The community pool is directly behind the house(maybe a 1-2 minute walk). The porches (one that includes a very nice hot tub) were the perfect spots to sit and reminisce and visit. The host were very responsive to questions and gave suggestions when ask about the local attractions and dinning. We will definitely be booking again if in the area on the future.

Impressive cabin in quiet wooded setting
Cabin was tastefully decorated, well maintained, and extremely clean. There was an extremely wide assortment of amenities included that we never had in previous homes we have rented, like paper towels, toilet tissue, and trash bags to name a few. The hosts were very gracious in answering any questions we had about the property. We definately would recommend the property and would also not hesitate to rent the property again.

Beautifully designed home for visitors
Loved the house design which was essentially two wings joined by eating and living areas. Spotlessly clean, including the cleanest hot tub ever!, convenient to the Park and Dollywood, in the trees and serenaded at night by the wood thrush. A wonderful place to be!

The house and area were very nice. The hosts checked i. On us during our stay. We have never had that happen before and appreciated it. We left a few things, and our host was nice enough to mail them to us. I can't say enough nice things about how these hosts treat their guests. We will definitely stay with them again.

Great Mountain Hide Away
Wonderful location with loads of privacy! Our family included 4 adults and 4 teens who loved the loft game room and bedroom along with easy access to the clubhouse pool just a short walk from our cabin. The cabin was clean, and beds are comfortable. WIFI was great. The owner Kim always responded quickly to any questions prior to arrival and was super nice to allow us to use the pool since we got to the cabin a bit earlier then check-in after 9 long drive hours and on a very hot day it was a blessing for sure. The local grocery store IGA and Dollar General nearby was adequate but pricey. Take some time to drive to Kroger or Walmart if you have a large group to feed as we did for a week. I highly recommend a day of tubing at River Rats which was a mere 6 min from the cabin. We even got to see a young bear on the roadway out! The location is also perfect to enjoy the scenic drive to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg for more fun and attractions. Overall, the experience was wonderful and felt like a home away from home.

Great cabin
This house was perfect for us. We like to spend more time in the park itself rather all the things in pigeon forge. This location, however, was close enough to the park but not too far from the other attractions either. Our teens loved being close to the pool too!

Nice family vacation. It was clean though the furniture is a little outdated and mattresses were not super comfortable. Some family members did get spider bites inside but I mentioned it to the owner and I think they’ll take care of it. The owners are very nice. The location has great porches and great atmosphere. Nice pool nearby. Pool table was lots of fun for everyone. The craft brewery was amazing!! Great food!!

Great time in the mountains!
Loved the cabin - homey but with a woodsy feel! It came with toilet paper, shower and hand soap, garbage bags and dishwasher detergent. Favorite part was sitting under the covered porch at night - there were enough sitting places for all of us! Wse also had fun playing pool one night and our daughter enjoyed the community pool as well. We didn't use the hot tub but loved the set up. It was a good drive time-wise to the various trails we wanted to hit in the Smokies but no one complained because of the great scenery to enjoy on the way. Small grocery store and a couple of cute eating establishments are super close by (along with a Pizza Hut for those that miss chain food). If I had to point out the only downside... I really missed was our easy-to-wash frying pan - the one in the cabin required a lot of scrubbing. Overall - a great experience and we would definitely choose to stay here again.
