We absolutely loved our stay! We loved it so much that we spent more time in the cabin than any other vacation. Pictures don’t do it justice. There is a beautiful view from the patio. It is close to the strip, yet tucked away in a perfect spot for a mountain getaway. Jackie has thought of every detail and she is a gracious host.

We found this home very welcoming. It was perfectly decorated for Christmas. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked going above and beyond anything I’ve experienced. It was very convenient to not have to run to the store for the small things. Everything we needed was right there. Our host was great. She answered all of my questions promptly. I highly recommend this beautiful home.

This cozy little house is just wonderful. This was our second time staying and it’s just as lovely now as it was in May. We take our fur babies along with us and they feel right at home here and it does NOT smell like a “pet friendly” house, very clean and tidy. The beds are so comfy and even more comfy than my very own bed at home. This house is stocked full of anything you’d need and even more than you could ever think of. During our stay we were in a severe storm threat and the owner Jackie sent us a message to let us know to be aware. She’s such a kind soul and great to work with. If you’re looking for a nice little get away, stay with Jackie. You won’t regret it.

Location, location, location! The house itself is wonderful, cozy, peaceful, and well stocked for families with kids of all ages. It’s a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home (2 kings, 1 queen, plus a pull‑out in the living room) right above the Little Pigeon Forge River—adds a serene, private vibe even though you’re within a short distance to Gatlinburg attractions.You’re also just a hop and skip away from Hillbilly Golf and the Moonshine Mountain Coaster, plus Ripley’s Aquarium, Anakeesta, Ober Gatlinburg, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park nearby!Jackie was a pleasure to work with, friendly, responsive, and accessible.

Super Cozy/Cute Cottage feel

This little place was so cute and cozy. It has more of a three bedroom/house feel and is very close to the Gatlinburg strip and across the street from a mountain coaster so very convenient for those looking to stay close to all of the festivities. Accuracy of the place vs what was online was very close, however for the price and what the photos showed it was a much smaller place than I anticipated. I somehow missed how it’s only 1400sqft -which would have easily told me it was a bit cramped for the 7 of us. But that’s not their fault, I will be sure to check that first next time. We had the absolute best time playing shuffleboard. The game room had a super cute connect four on the wall which kept us entertained. All three teens -17 and 19 plus some adults all thoroughly enjoyed it-we will be buying one asap! Absolutely zero complaints about cleanliness-it was extremely clean, decorated just beautifully for Christmas and had plenty of towels and amenities in the kitchen pretty much anything you need they have and all is labeled everywhere so there is no question where to find it. The hot tub was perfect along with the outdoor area. It’s a very large side area with a fire pit and plenty of chairs. Grocery store was about 10-12 minutes away and downtown Gatlinburg was right around the corner from the bottom of the mountain and took us around 5 minutes to get there. It would be perfect for a family with younger children if you’re going with the max number of guests..

Quick getaway

Stay was amazing, the property was very clean and even provided moon pies and granola bars to snack on. Property is so close to downtown Gaitlinburg and it made it very easy to go enjoy our days downtown without a long drive back to our stay. Communicating with property manager was super easy and quick and Jackie was very nice and understanding with any question or problem I brought up. I loved how spacious the property was along with the game room which was a big hit for my friends and I. TV’s were hard to figure out, thankfully one of my friends was tech savvy and was able to figure things out! Overall the stay was amazing and Jackie was an awesome host. Thank you Jackie again!
