  Perfect location for our spring break vacation. Our vacation was about being in the mountains, hiking and not spending a lot of money in the touristy locations of Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. This cabin fit the bill. The location was SO CLOSE to the Metcalf bottoms entrance! Within minutes, we were in the park. It was nice not to fight the traffic on the main strip of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The accomodations were nice too. New appliances, even washer/dryer, new couches upstairs and down, plenty of dishes, silverware and drinkware. The new owners are truly making this a great cabin. The view was spectacular.

  Recommended for: Families with young children, adventure seekers.

  Owner response: We're so pleased you enjoyed your vacation!! We hope you will visit us again in the future!!!

  Amazing location and view!!! We really enjoyed our trip!! So many amazing things to see and a perfect cabin for our family!!! We all loved the game room and the hot tub!! New owners are doing an amazing jobs with improvements!!! Only complaints were the showers in the loft and hall bath needed to be updated (faucets and broken door) and the kitchen pots and pans, and silverware could be replaced, but still very useable!!! Also there were lots of dead ladybugs in the window sills and things up high needed to be dusted. Other than those picky things it was an amazing cabin!!!!

  Owner response: We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Since we are new owners, we are continually updating and improving the cabin. There is a brand new set of stainless steel cookware in the kitchen. The showers will be updated this Spring. It can be a challenge to schedule contractors when we are booked so solidly. We will report the need for dusting to our cabin cleaning company. Unfortunately, being in the mountains, the ladybugs are a constant battle. We will ask the cleaning company if there are some traps available for use in the windowsills. The fact that we are not local, we do rely on feedback from our guests on how to improve the cabin. So, we very much appreciate your feedback!

  This our second stay @ Next Step Heaven. We will continue to stay here because this cabin has everything you could possibly need to have a perfect vacation. The cabin is beautiful, is very well equipped, has games for the kids, a fabulous view, and close proximity to the national park.

  We had a fantastic experience at this cabin. It suited our needs perfectly. We were able to do some hiking at nearby trails in the Smokey's. The cabin has a well stocked kitchen, cozy decor, comfortable beds and stunning views. The owner, Michelle is a pleasure to work with and everything was as promised. The Christmas decorations really added to the charm of the cabin. We didn't want to leave!

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in early April. The mountain & valley views are "heavenly" and the sunsets were just breathtaking. Our family, with kids ages 6 and 4, enjoyed the layout of the house & rec room. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well-stocked with pots/pans and all you need for cooking in. We enjoyed the location & privacy of being perched on the side of a mountain and found it easy & convenient to get to the area's sites & attractions. We saw lots of birds, rabbits and wild turkeys while we were there too. Communication with the owner was very helpful and there were no disappointments. Thanks so much!

  My husband and I stayed at the cabin the first week of June 2009 to celebrate my daughter's 15th b-day. We took along 5 of her friends and they had a blast. They loved to hang out at the cabin, either in the spa, playing pool and video games or just lounging on the porch admiring the beautiful view. It's amazing how wonderful it was to have 7 kids entertained all the time without any conflicts. Guitar hero was the best!!!! The cabin is very well located, close to many attractions: we went horseback riding, water rafting, go-karting, river tubing, Dollywood, and visited the Apple Barn. I even had time to read a book!! Thanks Tim, we'll be back some time soon!!!

  My husband & I planned a very last minute getaway and this was the PERFECT place! Peaceful, beautiful, relaxing, well stocked with just about everything you might need! Tim was so easy to work with and was accomodating beyond what you find in any hotel or rental agency. Our trip was wonderful and we hope to return soon - we just can't decide if we'll bring the kids or keep this little peace of heaven on earth for ourselves! THanks again Tim :)
