Fantastic Mountain Getaway

We really enjoyed our vacation at this Gatlinburg Getaway. The pictures on the website really do it justice. The house is located right inside the city of Gatlinburg, so it is literally 2 minutes from everything. We have a family of 4, so our kids were thrilled to have a room of their own and not have to share. There is so much to do in the surrounding area, but the house was so nice we spent a lot of time just hanging out and relaxing. I would highly recommend this place for your stay!

Perfect Family Christmas !

Couldn't have been more perfect! Mountain brook was the ideal setting for our family Christmas. I've rented many condos/homes along the way and this one far exceeded our expectations! Very very clean - had everything we needed, and the location was close to town but tucked in right on the creek surrounded by beautiful trees. Privacy was high on our must have list and this was private and serene. We would sit out in the rocking chairs and all you would hear was the babbling brook..so peaceful.. We had so much fun playing pool... my son thinks he will be a pool shark now lol. The game room with XBox, PS3, checkers, chess, and more gave the whole family something to do during our stay. We also watched a few movies from the video library... including the Christmas Story on the big screen TV. That movie is a tradition on Christmas Eve in our family. We all cozied up on the couch with a comfy blanket by the fireplace. It was like the feeling of a Norman Rockwell picture..just so homey and relaxing. Also the dining table was big enough for the whole family and it sits right by the window so you can see the creek..so enjoyable ! Kids got the upstairs bedrooms, so I snuck up to check on them late one night and they were reading a scary story from the bookshelf of books tucked in a little reading nook at the top of the stairs. The owners are wonderful people..so sweet and a pleasure to talk with..couldn’t have been better . Don’t hesitate...grab this place while you can...it really is a Magical place ! Mary and Jim

I have been coming to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg for 23 years and have never stayed at a nicer place than this cabin! Very close to downtown for convenience but because it is located in a grove/hollow by the creek it feels miles away. The accommodations were superb and felt like a home away from home. Also, the furnishings were beautiful. Its many windows along the creek had me gazing into the beauty of the forrest often. We did not want to leave! A MUST stay.....

Owner response:Thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We feel very blessed to own Mountainbrook and to be able to share it with others. Hope you can stay with us again in the future. Frank and Cindy

My family, wife and two kids along with my parent in-laws stayed for a week and had a most wonderful time. The location was so close to Gatlinburg but at the same time secluded in it's own little area with the stream running by that it made you feel miles away from anything. We enjoyed horseback riding, hiking, the spring flowers which were amazing and just relaxing at this beautiful rental. Really looking forward to another visit in such a lovely home. Thank you for making our visit one the whole family will remember.

Owner response:Thank you so much David for your review! We enjoyed having you as our guests. We hope we met your expectations and that you felt right at home. Please come stay with us again soon!

Magical Location Beautiful Property

We came to Mountainbrook for a very short (2 night) stay on what turned out to be a rainy weekend. But, it didn't matter...we "camped-out" at Mountainbrook and only left for a meal-out and a stroll around town. It is a special place. My family of 5 (me, my wife & our 8, 6, and almost 2 year-old), my Dad, and my Sister's family (including her, her husband, and 9 and 7 year old boys) all met inGatlinburg for a short stay and fell in love with this property. The kids actually tubed in the creek running by the property after a rain. You come down the driveway and it feels like you've been transported a thousand miles from anything stressful. We even opened the windows at night in our bedroom and let the running water put us to sleep. We'll be back!

Owner response:Thank you KC for your kind review, makes me want to go there today! Sounds like the kids had a blast! We are so glad you were able to make the best of your rainy weekend. We enjoyed having you as our guests and would love to have you visit us again in the future. Maybe next time the kids will see a bear in the creek! Thank you again for choosing Mountainbrook. Kelly

50th Anniversary

We enjoyed the house. It was comfortable and pleasant for 9 of us. Good sleeping and good views. All of the family loved all the activities of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I definitely would recommend your home to my friends and I would definitely stay there again myself if the occasion arose. We celebrated our 50th and had a beautiful Old Time Photo taken of us and our wedding with our family. A wonderful way to commemorate our special day. A lovely memory!

Owner response:Thank you Polly for your review. It was our pleasure having you! Congratulations on 50 years! Thank you for choosing Mountainbrook to celebrate your special occasion. We would love to have you and your family as our guests in the future. Please give me a call if I can ever help in anyway. Kindest regards, Kelly

Perfect Location

Our group has been staying at the Mountainbrook for eight years now. We love the location because it is very close to down town Gatlinburg and has every convenience. The stream is a plus. It is spacious enough and love the fact that there is a TV in every bedroom. Have not seen any bear yet, but have seen paw prints all around the Chalet. We will be staying here as long as it is available.

Owner response:Thanks so much for the review! Reviews are very helpful since we just started renting exclusively by owner. We have certainly enjoyed having you as a repeat guest and are glad you continue to enjoy your stay at Mountainbrook. I am sorry you haven't gotten to see the bears yet. They usually come through a couple of times a week at dusk. It is quite amazing to see them in the wild. The guest who just checked out yesterday reported seeing one on Saturday. Hopefully you will get to see them next time. Thanks again! Cindy

We had a wonderful time staying in the chalet. The rooms were very cozy and comfortable. The living room area had plenty of room and the fire place made it very warm when the weather was cold outside. The kids had plenty of entertainment with all the board games, pool table and X box. The creek that runs beside the chalet was absolutely beautiful. Chalet was close to town and we could have walked if we had wanted to. Our stay was a great experience thanks to all the help the owner and staff helped us with. Thanks to all.
