  My family and I enjoyed the stay at the journey in Gatlingurg TN. Everything was very clean and organized I was going to use the internet but our cabin did not have the connection for it.

  Recommended for: Families with young children.

  Owner response: I am sorry that the guests from Greenfield SC did not have the information to access the internet. The cabin is equipped with fast access internet and the network and password information is included in my information material that I send to all guests.

  First, working with Jack was a pleasure. He quickly responded to any questions before the stay, and even assisted us promptly while at the cabin. He was helpful and did anything he could to make the stay amazing. Second, the place was perfect for our group. The living room and basement had ample room for everyone to hang out. The TVs were perfect for watching March Madness, and the hot tub fit at least 6 people. Overall, the place was a clean, great place to stay. Finally, the location worked. It was a 5 minute drive to Pigeon forge and 15 to downtown Gatlinburg.

  My friends and I just spent an extended weekend at The Journey and had a very positive experience. Jack was friendly, thorough, and dependable, and the cabin was clean, spacious, and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it to others!

  Ten of my sweet girlfriends threw a baby shower weekend for me & another friend at this cabin. The cabin itself, price, & location were great, but some of the basics gave us grief. The cabin is advertised as sleeping 12, which means we brought enough food for 12 people, expected enough toilet paper for 12 people, & hot showers for at least 1/2 of us. The older model refrigerator didn't keep our food cold even after giving it 12 hours to catch up. Since I was one of the guests of honor, I did not have direct contact with the owner, but I was disappointed that he gave my friends who were worried about food temperature for their 2 pregnant friends a hard time. Although there was a note on the fridge directing us to put the shower liner on the inside of the tub to avoid a mess, there was no note telling us that we should not turn the fridge to the 'colder' setting to try to keep our food cold. Each morning only 2-3 of us got hot/warm showers, the rest were cold (we had not run the dishwasher or washing machine). The dryer made a horrendous loud noise that could be heard throughout the cabin & outside - it likely just needs a belt. All-in-all, a nice cabin & no problems that were deal breakers given the great price - however, with a few basic improvements, it could have been better. Listening to my friends' frustrating phone calls to the owner was the most disappointing part. I own property & am a landlord. When my renter calls me with a question about something, my first priority is to be pleasant & try to fix the problem, not find ways to say it's their fault - they are paying for the space after all.

  Owner response: I sincerely regret that the guest had any problems. The only complaint I was notified about was they thought the refrigerator would not cool. My maintenance personnel was up there in forty five minutes from the time the guest called me. The only complaint that was told to maintenance was about the refrigerator. When my maintenance man checked the refrigerator he found no problem with it at all but the fact the guest had turned the thermostat all the way up on the unit [which they admitted to him as doing]. When you do that all the cooling goes to the freezer and not the main refrigerator. The maintenance man turned it to the correct position and waited and checked the cooling capacity and found it to be operating correctly. The guest were informed and no other issues were mentioned. Since I read this review my maintenance man checked the hot water system and found no problem whatsoever. We have a huge water heater and we have had no complaints from other guests.

  This was everything we hoped for and more! It is a great location. The cabin was wonderful! Clean, beautiful and spacious. We had six adults, 1 teeneger and 2 children. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and still enjoy each others company. Everyone enjoyed the pool, hot tub, pool table, video games and air hockey.The hot tub is much bigger than it looks in the picture. Plenty of room for 6. I would definately recommend this cabin and hope to be able to stay here again! The Old Mill and Apple Barn were wonderful places to eat. The only down side to the trip was Captain Jim's Seafood buffet. It was overpriced and terrible. Barely any selection, most everything was fried and crab legs were extra. Back to the Journey- once again it was everything we hoped it would be. Thanks Jack!

  4 couples from our Sunday School class rented the journey for 3 days. It was great since all the bedrooms had a king bed. The location is good and the cabin was in great shape, very clean. There was not enough seating in the upstairs living room area for all of us but the owner said he is addressing the seating situation very soon. Ample parking for 4 cars. This place would be great for families, reunions, church groups, etc. We definitely will look at renting this cabin again in the future.

  My Wife has 3 sisters and every 3 years we plan an adult get-a-way, with spouses, this year we selected the Gatlinburg area. This cabin fit our needs with 4 king beds and ample room to fit everyone's needs. It was great location with easy access to everything you would want to do in this area. Relaxation and bonding was at the top of our agenda for this Journey. In this stressful world it was great to just kick back and relax in private quiet area while spending quality time with family members. We all took away memories that will last a lifetime. It was agreed by all that we would recommend the Journey and was one of our better get-a-ways. Working with Jack was a pleasure.

  After years of annual visits to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area with our family, three years ago we rented The Journey. There's no more looking around now! Our family of nine (seven adults, two children and another grand-daughter on the way) looks forward to our annual get-away to The Journey. Jack has always been a pleasure to work with and, even though we've never met, I feel I know him. His spacious cabin is comfortably tucked away in the mountains and is well-maintained and livable. Our family recommends The Journey to anyone and everyone looking for a mountain get-away hidden treasure.

  11 of my family members congregated at this wonderful cabin for four days over the 4th of July and found it a wonderful place to spend down time and make our base of operation. The house is gorgeous, the location great! It is just minutes away from Dollywood but felt away from the busyness of the town, even though there are lots of cabins in the area We were right up in the woods and the mornings were great for coffee out on the deck until the weather got hot! :-) The cabin is within about ten minutes of the Great Smoky Mt. National Park and the Sugarlands Visitor Center, as well as great shopping and all the fun activities in Pigeon Forge. The owner was prompt in his responses and returning receipts to us upon payment. The pictures did not really do the cabin justice....it was really beautiful and that is hard to capture on camera. It was everything we hoped for! The kitchen/greatroom floor looked well swept but not really mopped clean but with kids , it got dirty pretty quickly anyway so that was really not an issue for us. One of the controls for the XBox 360 was broken so our four kids were unable to use it the way that they had hoped and planned but they found other things to do. The two outside decks were wonderful (the chairs a bit old and rickety) and the hot tub was GREAT! We had a wonderful time and will rent this cabin again in the future!

  our family had a great week at the journey , there is plenty of room and fun things to do , we enjoyed the game room and hot tub , the cabin was clean and beautiful this was our second year at the journey and we have decided to make it a family tradition to stay every year , jack and his wife are great and make it so easy for you our 16 year old loved that we had internet access and games to play and you are so close to the strip but far enough away to enjoy the peace and beauty that GOD has created , if you want a great place to make family memories the journey is the place for you . we love the journey .
