This cabin was beautiful, the pictures are exact but do not showcase all the beauty. We loved this cabin and the peaceful surroundings. The kids loved the loft and the adults loved having the down stairs area. We would definately rent it again! Gary and Sue were excellent to work with. We would highly recommend to stay here!

we had a great time, it was very relaxing and had great views, We would stay there again, it was nice to have the indoor pool, mini putt course and out door pool even though we didn't have time to use them. we were only there 2 1/2 days.

Owner response:We are so happy you had such a good time at the cabin. Please let us know when you are ready to return - the pools and mini golf will be even nicer in the spring and summer. Have a Happy New Year in 2012! Thanks for visiting... Gary & Sue Katacinski

I wanted to thank you for letting my family and I use Mountain Memories for our family vacation, it was absolutely wonderful! The pictures don’t do it justice. The wife and I loved the wrap around porch and the kids thought the arcade machine was the coolest. It was so relaxing and comfortable and had such a "homey" feel to it. Once again thank you for allowing us to have a lovely time in Pigeon Forge. I have recommended your place to a few people already and look forward to visiting again.

Owner response:We are glad you and your family had such a wonderful time and we look forward to your return! Thanks so much for the referrals! Take care - Gary & Sue

Even better than the pictures! We had such a wonderful time in your cabin and plan to come back for a longer visit so we can take full advantage of everything there is to do!! Great location, close to everything, yet private and beautiful resort. The owners were so very helpful and a delight to work with, and we would HIGHLY recommend this cabin to others. Thank you for sharing your cabin with our family!

Owner response:We are so happy that you had such a wonderful time and we hope you can return for another visit in the future! Take care and enjoy the rest of your summer! Gary & Sue Katacinski Mountain Memories

My family truly enjoyed our visit to the Smoky Mountains. Upon arrival to your cabin, my kids were immediately challanging each other to a game of pool. We felt very much at home and enjoyed all the ammenities. The cabin is very close to shopping, eating places, and only a 20 minute drive to the mountains. My mother and father-in-law made many Mountain Memories with their grandchildren. On a trip to Laurel Falls we saw a black bear. That was the icing on the cake. We are already making plans to come back in the fall (money permitting) for our anniversary. Thanks for sharing your mountain home with us. We had a great time.

Owner response:We are so happy to hear that you and your family had such a great time at our cabin! That is what Mountain Memories is all about and we love it when others are able to enjoy it as much as we do! We certainly hope your plans work out for a return visit in the fall - we look forward to hearing back from you. Take care and have a wonderful summer! Gary & Sue Katacinski Mountain Memories

We had one of our best vacations ever in your beautiful cabin! It was so warm and comfortable and the views were spectacular. Our kids had never been to the mountains before and they loved it! They have already said they want to go back again. We'd love to plan another vacation there next year. Thanks for letting us stay in your cabin!

Owner response:You are quite welcome - we were happy to share our cabin home with you. Let us know when you would like to return for another visit. Take care - Gary & Sue Katacinski, Mountain Memories

Gary, I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your lovely log home in TN. As you know, we had so much fun that we even asked to stay an extra night and fortunately we were able to work that out. Your place is awesome, the view wonderful and we will most certainly stay again when in TN. We left a little gift to remember us by. thanks again, Alicia Ondo

Owner response:That is great, Alicia! We are so happy everything worked out for you. Thank you for visiting - we look forward to your return. Gary & Sue

If you are looking to rent an AWESOME cabin, then look no further! This cabin has EVERYTHING you could possibly want and more. It has quickly become our home away from home. My favorite part of the cabin was the loft with the wide screen tv, pool table, and arcade game. My wife's was the hot tub on the back porch. Talk about a view! It was fun to sit in the hot tub and watch the 4th of July fireworks off in the distance. We are already looking forward to going back again in the future. You just won't find better people to work with than Gary and Sue. You will LOVE your stay here. I guarantee it.

Owner response:We were honored to share our home on Independence Day with a wonderful family dedicated to preserving our country's freedoms, and we are thrilled that you all had such a great time. Please give us a call anytime you can return to Mountain Memories - we look forward to hearing from you again. Sincerely - Gary & Sue

We had a great time at your cabin. Everything was exactly as stated and more. Our 4 and 6 year old had a great time exploring everything in the cabin. The porch hot tub was a favorite! My son and his grandmother could only find 164 bears in the cabin. Another family found 176, I think. How many are there really? Gary was helpful and precise with all information. The directions were great! No problems! We will remember this again!

Owner response:It is so awesome that you enjoyed our "home away from home" as much as we do and we'd love to see your son while he was on the bear hunt with his grandmother - that is priceless! The number of bears in the cabin fluctuates from season to season - it really depends upon how many are home at the time. We're sure they must have found them all - it's pretty tough to miss a bear! Have a great spring time and please let us know when you can return to Mountain Memories! Thank you - Gary & Sue

We truly loved staying at the Mountain Memories log cabin. We felt right at home from the first time we stepped in the door. It is so well furnished with everything you need to make "memories" with family and friends. Thanks so much for the Christmas tray of "Goodies".

Thanks Gary and Sue,My family was so pleased with Mountain Memories. It had all the amenities we could possibly need and want. My son and niece enjoyed the many games that were offered. The scenery was great. We couldn’t have asked for a better cabin. Thanks for the goodies(cookies, candy). The discount card came in handy as week. Thanks so much for your hospitality and generosity. As far as the distance I couldn’t have asked for a cabin to be closer into town, not too far, yet not to close, just right. We were away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, but close enough to enjoy the attractions.Please rent Mountain Melodies. You won’t be disappointed.

Owner response:We are so happy you and your family had such a wonderful time at Mountain Memories. It was our pleasure, and we do look forward to your return. Thanks for visiting! Gary & Sue

Thank you guys so much for such a wonderful first trip to the mountains. Your cabin is fantastic, in and out, view was so pretty. You guys have thought of everything....that's all we had to supply was food. Our 3 boys had such a fun time with the loft, pool table, big screen tv, games, slummber parties up there. Any one who is thinking twice about staying in Gary and Susan's cabin....DON'T....you won't regret it!!!! Not to mention the location is very close to everything!!! Thanks again....I WILL be calling again to reserve another week.

Owner response:You are welcome back anytime! Thanks so much for the kind words - it is nice to hear that you had such a wonderful time in Mountain Memories. Hope you can return soon. Take care - Gary & Sue

Dear Gary & Sue, Thank you so much for renting out your cabin, "Mountain Memories". Your cabin is truly beautiful. The veiws were quite nice and relaxing. We enjoyed coffee every morning out on the deck. My boys really enjoyed the pool table and big screen t.v. for playing their xbox 360. My husband and I made good use of the hot tub after a full day of site seeing and hiking. We also made use of the gas grill a couple of evenings during our stay. It was also very useful having a washer and dryer available to use. Your cabin was well equiped with everything we could possibly need. The resort area is beautiful and clean. The swimming pool and putt putt golf were another added feature. The swimming pool was so beautiful with the stone water fall in the background along the mountain slope. We hated to come back home. We are now planning a return trip with other members of our family. Once again thank you for opening up your cabin for rent so that families like mine can have and experience such a great vacation. Sincerely, The Savoie Family Luling, Louisiana

Owner response:You are quite welcome - we are so pleased that you and your family had such a great time. Thanks for sharing your enjoyment with us - we look forward to your next visit to Mountain Memories. Take care - Gary & Sue
