My children decided to surprised me for my birthday by going on vacation. They decided that renting a vacation home is the best option. They found in the internet this house, looks very clean and good location on top of the hill. All our children where there including our youngest who come all the way from Tampa, Florida. The house was in very excellent condition, all the amenities as advertised was there, very clean and one thing for a whole family with privacy is very affordable. The view of the mountain from the balcony is unbelievable specially early in the morning. Next time I go on vacation I will never stay in hotel again. I highly recommend to my friends. It is very close to all attractions and restaurant. If you are golfer, nothing can beat the accommodation and the golf club is right by close.

I am very picky, but there is nothing I have to complain about with this cabin. I stayed in this cabin with my husband, son, and parents. It was large enough to accomodate two familites. We were able to watch a football game on the big screen downstairs after a great day at Dollywood. The view from the deck is so beautiful. Watching shooting stars from the hot tub was just one of the highlights of our trip. Every little detail was perfect. I hope we will be back soon!

Thank you Delmar and Audrey for letting us stay at your cabin. We celebrated our 17th anniversary in this lovely cabin. It looks as good or better in person. We loved the privacy of a cabin compared to our usual hotel stays. Although there are no window coverings on the floor-to-ceiling windows it is not a concern because the cabin is situated such that no one can see in. It's close to the Parkway so you can head down for shopping, food, etc. Everything was perfect from the no hassle booking to the keyless entry. You won't be disappointed if you're looking for a nice, romantic getaway for you and that special someone. We also have 3 kids and it would be well suited for bringing a small family as well. We will certainly be returning in the future and hopefully we'll be able to stay at Absolute High again!

Absolute High is Absolutely Perfect

My husband, 5 year old daughter and I loved your cabin. The cabin is complete luxury. We didn't want to leave the cabin to go anywhere else. I can't count how many games of pool we played during our stay. One of our favorite things about the cabin was the sound system upstairs in the game room that went outside to the hot tub also. Delmar and Audrey were fabulous anytime we had a question they were available immediately and very easy to deal with. I would recommend this cabin to anybody looking to stay in luxury for an affordable price!! We had concerns about the neighborhood due to the fact that we have never stayed here before but there are absolutely no complaints. This cabin is in a neighborhood with other luxury cabins only -- you will not be disappointed-- very nice atmosphere. The cabin is located in close proximity to anything you would like to do but is not on the main strip so you have plenty of privacy. I can honestly say I can not think of one negative thing to say about the owners, cabin, or our trip.

One Night Stay left us wanting more

We visited Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge for the first time for 3 nights in April. Our first two nights were in a hotel and we decided to check into staying into a cabin for our last night at the last minute. THe owners worked with us to get us in at the last minute and everything was perfect with our check in. We were extremely pleased as we walked thru the cabin to see that it looked exactly as it did on the website and that everything was in order and extremely clean. The views are incredible and the cabin is set up for a family to enjoy their time "at home" as much as the time spent in the wonderful mountains. We were so thrilled with the cabin (and so disappointed that we didn't have more time to stay) that we know that we will never look anywhere else on return trips to the area. The location was great for getting around and was private enough without feeling isolated. Being located on the bottom of a cul de sac, allowed room for our kids to play and ride their scooters around as well. Kudos to Delmar and Audrey for providing a beautiful cabin and a great experience. We can't wait to return!

Best Vacation Ever!!!!

Our stay at the cabin was the best vacation we ever had and we've been to 17 different countries not including the US and Canada.. The cabin and and view from the decks were awsome to say the least.. We did not like Dollywood but Splash Country was great.. All that the area has to offer is very close but the cabin seems secluded. We really enjoyed having the gameroom and multiple TV's,DVD's and the Play Station. It was nice to have a "Home" to stay in and the only thing you need to bring is food and coffee, everything was there including a grill outside. The pool was great after along day of entertainment. You must also go to the Smokey Mountain National Park it was remarkable and the Elk came right out to the road for pictures.. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but the main thing is that the cabin was excellent and made our vacation all the better. I may have found a new place to retire... Thank You Delmar and Audrey for allowing us to stay at your cabin. Randy,Brenda and Alexus....Saginaw, Michigan.

Ive stayed in over 50 different cabins in Pigeon Forge and this one definitely was one of, if no the best. Great location, easy access and a wonderful view. Can't wait to return. Thanks for the stay.

Nice cabin with a few disappointments.

We stayed here at the end of May 2011. Overall it was a good stay. The view is absolutely breathtaking. However, there were a few disappointments along the way. We drove nine hours to get to the cabin and we finally arrived only to find that our code did not work in the door. We made multiple calls to the owner and to maintenance to come and let us in. After about 20 min they came and let us in only to find that our reservations got messed up and the cabin did not get cleaned from the people before us. The cleaning lady couldn't make it there for another hour, so we had to leave. We came back a few hours later and she was still cleaning, so we basically lost half a day of our vacation. We also never got our welcome basket that was stated on the website. The upstairs bedroom is also a bit deceiving. It is all in with the game room, etc. There is no door. We booked this place because it said two bedrooms. I'm pregnant, so if I wanted to go to bed early no one could play any games, etc. Other than that the cabin was clean and had beautiful views. We ended up having a very nice vacation once we got through the disappointments. I think that we should have been compensated for the day we lost, but life goes on. Just know what you are booking, this is not exactly 2 bedrooms.

Owner response:This is the first I've heard of any issue with your stay. I didn't get any calls or voice mails on your arrival day, but sounds like you did get through to Cabin Services. Sounds like you arrived before they got the cabin cleaned, which would explain why the door code didn't work. However, check-in time is 3:00PM and if you arrived after that time the cabin should have been ready for you. In the rare occasion, the cabin is not yet ready when a guest arrives, we usually pay for the guests dinner at a local restaurant while they wait. As action items to your comments, I will be contacting Cabin Services to find out why the cabin wasn't cleaned on time for your arrival, and find out if they offered you the free dinner. I have updated my listing to include stating the upstairs bedroom is open to the game room, and I have removed the welcome basket from the amenities. The "welcome basket" isn't elaborate, so likely you didn't even realize it was the "welcome basket". It's just a small basket on the kitchen counter with coffee and tea packets. We do have elaborate baskets available for purchase provided by In Cabin Services.

We had such a wonderful time this weekend staying at your beautiful cabin! We played Jenga for hours on Saturday and played air hockey all night Friday. Being here made us all feel like kids again. We have already referred your home to our friends and we can assure you that we will be back alot! This weekend was just what we needed, rest, relaxation, and plenty of laughs.
