Folks, I'd like to tell you about our stay at the cabin. At first I was let down by the view. We usually stay higher up. After the first sunset and sunrise I was in love with the view. The cabin is very easy to find. I did not like one of the hills, but got over it. We had plenty of room for all of us. The price cannot be beaten. We had plenty of towels and bedding. I would be glad to answer any questions that you might have about this cabin. Thanks Val and Ranea for allowing us to stay in your cabin. LInda Hester

We had a very relaxing weekend. I was impressed with all the room. We had a large family of 14 and had plenty of room. Cabin was well stocked and we enjoyed cooking homemade meals and enjoyed saving the cost of eating out. Photos were very accurate and the place was very clean. Val and Renee were very nice to deal with and answered me were promptly. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and relatives. We took the recommendation of eating at Calhouns and really enjoyed it.

My family and I enjoyed staying at Halfway to Heaven cabin. We were close to everything. 5min from downtown Gatlinburg and a 45 min drive over the mountain to Cherokee and Harrahs. The cabin was very nice and had plenty of room for all 8 of us. We saw bears during the day and racoons at night. I would recomend this cabin to anyone wanting to enjoy nature but still close to town.

A Perfect Getaway

We've now had the opportunity to stay at both of your Gatlinburg homes, and we were extremely pleased with both. I honestly don't know how hotels stay in business competing with rentals like yours. It was both spacious and homey, which is the perfect combination. Everything was clean, and the kitchen provided all of the dishes and utensils we needed. I would also like to thank you for allowing us to bring our miniature dachshund on vacations with us, as she has been family for 15 years now. We travel in peace knowing that she's safe and happy, and are grateful that homeowners such as yourself understand that. The location is very convenient to downtown, but is just far enough away to enjoy the lovely view in peace. Thank you for everything; we will most certainly be back!

Cabin was high on mountain, beautiful view, lots of space, well-kept, clean. Roads were a bit narrow, but when we got there, it was a fantastic place for the family to gather. With 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, it had space to be together as well as alone. Everything worked properly. Couches were very comfortable. The cabin had lots and lots of little touches to make it feel like home. Our whole family convened from our homes to spend Thanksgiving together at our home away from home. It just felt comfortable. The owners were very careful to provide instructions on getting there, what to do and not do, where stores, restaurants, and even doctors were located in town. The personal touch was greatly appreciated. I loved to get up in morning and look out at the mountain tops. Plus we had a great time in Gatlinburg. It was truly a mini-vacation that we will long remember. We ate Thanksgiving dinner at Partridge and Pear. We loved the Aquarium. And it was fun just to walk through town looking at all the little shops. Excellent experience

Nice living room and kitchen area. Beautiful view of the mountains. Nice quiet location. The property was clean and well-maintained. The owner was very nice to work with. This was a family reunion and we just had fun being together and visiting and eating and laughing. We enjoyed the Craftsman Fair and playing Hillbilly Golf. We enjoyed eating at Best Italian and Old Mill Sandwich Shop. Also enjoyed eating our home cooked meals.

Very nice cabin with a great price. Val was very easy to work with and responded quickly to all my questions. We have a "sibling weekend" approximately twice a year. This cabin suited our purpose very well. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The kitchen was well equipped with cooking and eating utensils. And the yes, we did see the Mama bear and her two cubs.
