Wonderful cabin!

Date of Stay: 02/18/12 Review Submitted: 02/24/12

This was a beautiful cabin in a wonderful location right in between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It was convenient to both towns but a bit closer to downtown Gatlinburg. The road up to the cabin is very windy and was a bit scary at first, but we adjusted to it quickly. The cabin had a beautiful view and we enjoyed a few inches of snow during our stay which was an added bonus. The snow was just enough to enjoy but did not cause any travel problems coming down the mountain road. I greatly recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the towns and wants a genuine mountain cabin experience. It was a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was what we expected, and hoping for, ideally located, clean with a great view. All instructions we were given were accurate and easy to follow to help make our stay so enjoyable. I would recommend this cabin to any of our friends as well as book another stay ourselves.

The cabin was beautiful and was portrayed accurately. We were able to see 3 bears walking down the road our first morning there! We had a minor problem with the shower, but the owners fixed it the same day. The view was gorgeous, the hot tub great and the fireplace was wonderful!

Great Getaway

Our requirements for a cabin were met in this property: stunning view, stepless entry, and pet friendly. The view is breathtaking and visible from two decks, entry into the cabin couldn't be easier, and we were allowed to bring our little dog. The cabin was clean and well maintained, the owners were very easy to work with--all policies and rules were clearly stated and followed. This would be a great place to bring a family group as there is so much space to spread out with the large space downstairs. Convenient to Gatlinburg, but removed from the hustle and bustle.

The cabin was clean very roomy and the views are better than any picture can show!! We came with 2 teenage girls, they each had their own room and we had the master bedroom. Woke up every morning to some of the most awesome nature views you will ever see. The drive up the mountain was great. I recommend a vehicle with some power though. This cabin is right up from the welcome center and we took the trolley to everywhere, which was so nice. Very clean, very well maintained. Had everything we needed except the food, haha. Relaxed in the hot tub every night. Would highly recommend this cabin to anyone. Great feedback and response from the owners. We loved the aquarium, the best we have seen. The titanic museum was outstanding and so was wonderworks! Bennetts bar-b-q was fantastic. Looking to come back this fall!!

Lovely Cabin

We loved the cabin. Beautiful views from the decks. Very clean home. The family room was so nice with the pool table and game table. Lots of board games and movies were also available to use. We especially loved the jacuzzi at the end of the day. Chuck was great to work with. We hope to get back there again. The cabin is in close proximity to The Smoky Mtn National Park and Dollywood.

We loved A Change of Pace! We enjoyed all of the amenities the cabin had to offer, including the hot tub, jacuzzi, DVDs, and pool table. We are a family of 5, with kids ages 9, 8, and 5. The cabin gave us plenty of space to spread out and truly enjoy ourselves. The kitchen was well-stocked and functional, although I would imagine a bit tight with several people cooking. There is plenty of seating and the cabin is well-maintained. Our only minor complaint was the smell. The cabin was a bit musty and had a mildewy smell. The towels had an odor, but I rewashed them with the supplied detergent and solved the problem. We aired out the cabin by lifting the windows while we were there, but had to be careful about bugs, since there were no screens. The view was gorgeous and the location was perfect, between the main strips in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The road to the cabin was steep and windy, but we got used to it quickly and did not have any problems. We have shared our experiences with our friends and family and wouldn't hesitate to refer others.

The cabin was clean and well maintained. Loved the fact that while on vacation we didnt have to eat out we could cook our own food. My kids loved the jacuzzi tub and my husband and mom really enjoyed the hot tub. The only thing I didnt like was the drive way, it was a little difficult to get in and out of, but once we figured out how to back in and drive straight out it was fine. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Wow this place if gorgeous!!! I went to get away from the stress of daily life and I cant tell you how impressed I was with the cabin! It had everything I could imagine! I went by myself yes just me to relax and I did the one bedroom special and it was cool to have such a huge place to use and such a resonable rate I mean it was less than renting a tiny hotel and the view breath taking!!! What i really liked about it was the fact that I was renting from the owner not thru some agency that really didnt care weather I was happy with my stay or not. I could tell that the Blessings care about their Cabin. I want to go back again with my husband :) yay!!!

Christmas 2010 at A Change Of Pace Cabin

The cabin was roomy and well stocked with all the comforts of home. The view was beautiful. The area was quite and clean and everyone we meet was very friendly. If you go in the winter, just know that there is a chance of being snowed in until you shovel out the driveway and the road plows clear the road that the cabin sits on.

What a beautiful, clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, reasonably priced cabin!! We loved everything about it! The check in was easy. The views were gorgeous (only one other house visible from the deck). We were able to have a very quiet, relaxing vacation, but then only a 5 min. drive to LOTS of activites (restaurants, mini golf, music, shopping, sky lift, hiking, swimming). By far, our BEST family vacation! THank you so much for sharing your cabin with us!

My wife and myself would like to thank the owners for allowing us to stay last week on short notice. It was our first time to Gatlinburg and we loved both the Cabin and the area. The Pictures don't do it justice, it is nicer than we expected, gorgeous views and the cabin was very very nice, and very spacious. We will definitely be back to the area soon. And the Cabin and the views are so nice you really don't need to leave. I highly reccomend this cabin to anyone we know, you won't be disappointed. The owners are prompt and courteous unlike some other rentals we have experienced and I thank them for that. The area and the Cabin would be great for families or romantic getaway. We really appreciate being able to bring our dog squeakers too, he enjoyed it as well, and the unit is kept very clean. The ammenities are first rate and we wouldn't hesistate to stay there again. We always read reviews before booking so I hope this is helpful to someone considering it. The owners truly have a lovely home they share, thanks again. Michael & Danielle Akron Ohio

A Change of PaceMy friends and I really enjoyed the cabin. It was way more impressive then I thought it would be. From the kitchen to the bedrooms everything was just managed well and worked out really good. The bed I slept on was even comfortable for me and I fall asleep real fast. I will recommend that anyone who is looking for a good place to stay in that area to go to “A Change of Pace”. The views were great too. Thanks again for having the place ready. The place was very clean and no problems.Brian from Chicago, Illinois

We really enjoyed our stay at A Change of Pace! We've stayed in many different cabins (this was probably our 6th trip to the area) and this one really met our needs so well--the kitchen especially was the best-stocked one we've ever had. The mountains, when viewed from either of the decks out back, were just gorgeous, and we got a kick out of sharing the same view with the fancy-dancy (and ultra-expensive) cabin next door. I also especially liked the security lock, a feature we hadn't had in our other cabins, as it allowed us to check in late in the day without having to swing by a rental place for the keys. Our neighbors from home, who were also visiting at the time we were and stayed in a chalet up the hill, were really envious of the comfy, cabiny feel of ACOP. Plus, the whole rental process was just really smooth and easy. We would definitely recommend your cabin to anyone looking for a convenient, comfortable rental in the Gatlinburg area!

Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin with my family. The house was perfect for all eight of us, the kids especially loved the big game room with the pool table. Everything we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms was already there for us, we didn't have to worry about anything. The view from the two decks was breath taking. We really enjoyed our stay.

My husband was home from Iraq for his R&R. We could have not chosen a better place. The cabin is great! I felt that it could be our home. Everything you need is their. The location was also great. You come down the mountain take a right for Gatlinburg or a left for Pigion Forge. We had a great time and will rent this cabin on our next trip. Thanks

We had a very nice & relaxing family vacation in "A Change of Pace". We would recommend it to anyone it has a breathtaking view from both decks. We had really nice weather and used the trolley at the bottom of the mountain to go into Gatlinburg. We really enjoyed the pool table and the hot tub. We have a family of four and there was plenty of room for everyone. There were a lot of little extras and the kitchen was well stocked. Thanks so much for letting us bring our Dachshunds they loved lying in front of the fireplace.

The cabin was simply an awesome experience. The view of the mountains was breathtaking. Important to note is just how well EQUIPPED the cabin was. If you needed something, you could count on it being there for your. We loved being able to cook at the cabin and really feel at home. Extras that we weren't expecting included but were not limited to: Spice rack, dog biscuits and pet bowls, shampoo, more silverware and cookware than we could have ever imagined, and much more. My family found it very easy to immediately fall into a comfortable routine there being so close to great attractions, coming home to the cabin, cooking, relaxing in the outdoor jacuzzi, before spending an enjoying time in the downstairs game room playing pool, and a game of monopoly or Yahtzee, which (the games) were also provided. This cabin was as advertised and then some. Can't wait to come back and we will be back! Thanks again.

The evenings at your cabin with the hot tub, and comfortable furnishings and beds, got us ready for another day.

My husband and I made a last minute reservation at "A Change of Pace" for the weekend of 5/9 - 5/12. The cabin was a perfect place to stay and the view was georgous. The cabin was fully stocked and the beds were very comfortable. Not only was the cabin open and spaceous it was also clean and beautifully decorated. It offered a very comfortable and homey atmosphere. The pictures of cabin do not justify how beautiful it really is. We loved the two large decks and the mountain views from the bedrooms. The hot tub offered us much relaxation after a long trip. The location was perfect because it it is located so close to the trolley stop and just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and another 5 minutes from Pigeon Forge. The owners of the cabin are great people and went out of their way to accomodate us by making sure the cabin was ready for our stay even with such short notice. Our two pekingnese dogs loved the treats left for them and thank you too. We look forward to another stay at A Change of Pace and we highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a vacation in Smoky Mountains.

We had a wonderful weekend at your cabin in Gatlinburg, and I just wanted to say thank you for making our stay warm and inviting. Your cabin was so neat and nicely decorated, and had everything we needed. As someone stated in your guest book, you provide a lot of little "extras" from the coffee filters to the grill tools to even a colander and measuring cup. We did a lot of cooking in the cabin, and the kitchen was so well equipped! We enjoyed the gorgeous views, and privacy on the mountain, and hope to visit again one day.
