The cabin was beautiful and very authentic. Super easy to get to downtown Gatlinburg and Bypass. There is no tv in the living room but that was on me for not paying attention so that was a little strange for us bc we are big tv watchers at night after a long day of hiking and riding in the mountains. Only other issue we had was the internet tv in upstairs bedroom. The internet connection kept dropping. Otherwise this was a very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay. The home was very clean. Our host was very responsive with any questions or concerns we had. Check in was very easy. The area in which the cabin sat wasn't as secluded as we originally thought but were extremely suprised at how quiet it still was. The teenager in our group loved the basement area and our children loved the treehouse. It was a great weekend.

Wonderful home away from home!

The cabin was clean and cozy. Check in was super easy. We did not experience any problems during our stay. Location is convenient to commercialized areas, but secluded enough to feel like you are really in the woods. We loved our stay!

Perfect Cabin for a GSMNP Adventure!

This cabin is wonderful - we enjoyed every minute there. So many positives: 1. The location is AMAZING for getting to GSMNP quickly, also for getting into Downtown Gatlinburg quickly. We also loved that the cabin wasn't hanging off the side of a cliff (even though some of those have great views) because we have 2 small girls that like to test limits and having a pretty level lot with no crazy drops was helpful for keeping us sane! 2. The cabin is very rustic and makes you feel like you are in a super remote area (which you are!) but it has all the modern conveniences that make it easy to be there (wifi, dishwasher!, great fridge, washer and dryer, theater area, great water pressure and hot water). 3. My 5 year old said she didn't want to go home because her bed was so comfy - and we all agreed that the beds were great - super comfortable and everyone slept well all week. We kept remarking that no one's backs hurt from bad mattresses! 44. The host is super responsive and helpful. The instructions are so easy to follow and check in was a breeze. The communication was great beforehand with information needed and especially communicating the importance of all the bear precautions beforehand. We had a huge black bear walking around the yard one evening which was a highlight but we felt so safe and secure and knew what to do to enjoy seeing it from a safe distance. Great cabin, loved every minute there!

Great Place to Stay - Close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge

The house was close to downtown Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and hiking. The amenities and pools were nice and the pools were very close to the house. There were a couple of instances where bears came onto the property and had cubs with them. They played around by the jungle gym and it was very neat for us all to watch!

Overall, the property is a nice place to stay and is very close to all the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge amenities. The only downside is there is no bathroom on the 2nd floor where the master bedroom is located. The community has a couple community pools and community amenities.

Bears Galore!

The listing stated Bears Galore! and it was not wrong. Bears at the cabin including mama and 3 cubs. The cabin itself was excellent, with plenty of space for us. And it was located a short drive from many family-friendly activities. We had no issues or problems with the cabin during our stay. We will certainly put this cabin on our list to re-visit Thank you for having us.
