                By far one of the best cabins we have stayed in. The hot tub looks brand new. Everything very clean. Loved the kitchen and granite counter tops. Not too far from the shopping. Flat parking. Cannot say enough good things.

                Owner response: Thank you for your kind words. We hope you will return to Ren's Nest soon. Steve and Renee

                A very nice cabin that was perfect for us with ages 12 to 82....the two beds on the main floor with easy entrance accomodated one member that walked with a walking stick and others in our party that couldn't do steps. We didn't need it but there was also walker at the cabin. The downstairs with two bedrooms, sofa accomodated our teenage son and his friend along with another couple. We all enjoyed the pool table even had a pool tournament. The small open space outside the bedroom upstairs was also perfect for my 12 year old nephew...he felt he had his own bedroom. We only had 11 in our party but would've accomodated more. Also enjoyed the main floor screened in deck with swing, table and rocking chairs. The owner was also a pleasure to work with and meet any needs! Thanks for allowing us to rent your cabin!

                Our group really enjoyed our stay. The place was completely accommodating for three families. It was also nice to be out in nature but also close to the parkway.

                My family has been vacationing in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area for over 10 years. Ren's Nest has become our favorite place to stay. Owner is great and always available for questions. Cabin is wonderful, the screened porch is my favorite place. I highly recommend Ren's Nest!!

                Other than a small to medium sized area of mold on the one shower curtain, main level; and having the clothes dryer checked out and the filter changed in AC unit, we were very satisfied with renting the Ren's Nest in Pigeon Forge. The maintenance staff was quick to come, other than the shower curtain, the cabin was clean, beds were comfortable, well supplied kitchen, liked having two refrigetators and an ice maker and the gas grill. Our son-in-law bought some cleaning disinfectant and cleaned the shower curtain for us. Also liked the screened in porch and lots of seating around the table. The owner, Steve,was very helpful and quick in answering our questions and concerns. Really enjoyed our time there and would consider renting there again. Kenny and Diana from Ohio.

                Owner response: Thank you for passing along your comments. This is the first review that was not a 5 out of 5, which is our continued goal. I am going to pass along your comments to the resort maintenance staff so that the few problems you identified will be avoided in the future. Steve

                What a great time we had at "Ren's Nest". Cabin was clean and inviting, and Steve and Renee' were wonderful to work with. With 10 people in our group, we had plenty of room in this cabin. We loved the layout of the rooms and baths. Another plus was that we were only a couple of minutes from everything! We would definately stay here again. Thanks Steve and Renee' :)

                We were very impressed with the location of this cabin in comparison to others at this loction. This cabin set in the tree tops and had a drop off on the oppisite of the side viewed in the picture on your ad. The drop off was a gentle slop of ground that allowed the hugh screened in porch to be nestled in the tree tops which is a beautiful site and allowed us to see the birds and squirrels play and sing. We enjoyed all the room this cabin allowed. We appreciated all the extra personal touches that we don't see in other rentals. We also appreciated the fact that it was very clean and had a state of the art hot tub. Wow we were more than pleased. We enjoyed the beautiful kitchen and its granite counters as much as we enjoyed the huge game room and extra partial kitchen area in this game room. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all nice sized rooms. We loved the high ceilings in the main living area where the main kitchen offered a large sit down counter as well as a large dining room table with a hugh den all together. The windows were beautiful in this are. Lots of day light everywhere! Alsome cabin/palace. No kidding. Thank you so much for the perfect vacation spot. We are already planning our next visit.

                We loved this cabin! It was very spacious and very clean. Loved that it was close to town and how responsive the owner was to all my questions. Can't wait to go back and request this cabin for a couples trip. Only negative for us was that the pool wasn't open yet.

              Owner info

              Year Purchased: 1997

              About the owner: Steve and Renee Morrell designed and assisted the builder in creating "Ren's Nest", named after RENee. Steve enjoys woodworking and created some of the lamps and other furnishings to emphasize a bird house theme to the log-cabin. Renee displayed some of her artistic ability by creating the hand-stenciled curtains in the cabin. Steve is retired from the Department of Energy, but continues to work as a consultant. Renee works in a real estate office in Knoxville, TN

              Why the Owner Chose Pigeon Forge:
              Being native East Tennesseans, we have a love for the beauty of the Smoky Mountains. When we decided to create "Ren's Nest", we viewed it as an opportunity for a good investment, a chance to host our own family reunions and getaway's, and be able to share the property with others.

              The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
              We particularly enjoy relaxing on the screened-in porch, nestled high in the tree tops. Although Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg offer many attractions, restaurants, and outdoor activities, we particularly enjoy being nestled in to "Ren's Nest", enjoying our family and friends, through conversation and playing games.
