  The kids and I went during spring break. We all LOVED the cabin. I was worried the trees would be in their winter state and the view wouldn't be as gorgeous as in the pictures. It was early April and very beautiful! There are enough pine trees around the house to make it pretty, green, and private. There are houses pretty close but it still felt private. We enjoyed the hot tub in the cold air, the fireplace that is not smokey, and the pool table. We liked the cabin so much, we didn't care so much about the sightseeing. We went to Gatlinburg which was crazy crowded (hard to drive through) and most things overpriced. Sevierville was closer. The cabin is clean and well equipped. I noticed it says you can park an RV there..I don't think that would be possible at the house. I'm not sure if they mean at a nearby location. The owner is very kind and helpful and checked in on us. We would love to go back sometime. My teenagers loved this vacation because of the cabin, the views, and all the things to do..rain or shine.

  Owner response: Charlene, Thank you for your kind and thorough review. I have clarified the detatils about RV parking on our listing - thank you for calling that to my attention! The cabin is a great place for the family to "connect." Please come again when you can! Sonya

We feel that it is the perfect location: away from all the noise & crowds, but a short drive to everything. The next time you come we will have a swing on the porch so you can enjoy the view while swinging with your loved one!

  I was happy with the cabin over all.It was just as the pictures portrayed it to be. It was extremely clean and had all of the comforts of home! I would love to see a Bible there the next time I visit. But it was no problem for me I just read it on my Kindle Fire.The owner was very helpful. We drove through Cades Cove down late in the evening and got to see some huge bucks and 3 bears!

  Owner response: Thank you. We hope you can come back again soon! A couple of Bibles and several other books will be there next week! We failed to bring them while there during the summer.

  We had a wonderful weekend with dear friends and family!! The cabin was beautiful, better than we could have expected. It was much larger than I expected as well, with two fold out couches as well as the two very good size bedrooms. Everything was so clean and nice and new!! You all were very helpful and great to work with. It was very easy to find and to get to. Not a far drive at all to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. Our kids had a blast in the loft with the pool table and it was such a beautiful view to have morning coffee on the porch! Thanks again for sharing your home with us!! I definetly recommend it to anyone!!

  My family and I had a wonderful experience staying at this cabin. It was very clean and well kept. Beautiful view from the balcony! All the comforts of home plus some added bonuses. We had everything we needed to cook or grill at the cabin, wash our clothes (if needed) or just relax before heading out to the areas attractions. The hot tub was very nice to relax in at the end of the day. The property owner was very helpful with everything we needed and they were not hard to get ahold of. The cabin is not far from local shops, attractions, pool, grocery store, etc. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone. I'm so thankful for the great time my family and I had. We were very blessed by all of God's scenery.

  We had a great time in your cabin. Beautiful location with great views. This cabin has so much to offer with a huge hot tub and a full size pool table. Was a perfect blend of seclusion yet close to Pigeon Forge. Douglas Lake is so beautiful and relaxing. The cabin was just as beautiful as described. We look forward to our next visit.

  My first experience with VROB and I would definately use it again. I liked being able to talk to the owner, it gave me that personal feeling that I was visiting friends. The cabin was very clean and "homey". The pictures of the view and cabin were as listed. The cleaning team had the lights on, the hot tub ready to go and it was so relaxing to sit on the porch and look at the mountains. It did not seem like a rental, I would recommend it!

  Owner response: Thank you for staying with us; you are always welcome to return to Once Upon A Dream! We, too, like making new friends through VRBO!
