Perfect Getaway!

This was exactly what we needed. The cabin location was off the beaten path, but still not a far drive to the main parkway. I would hate to drive up the hill to the cabin in bad weather, but it was lovely spring/summer weather for us :) The cabin was beautiful! The pools were too cold for the kids to get into but the private hot tub was perfect for us to relax for a few. There are a ton of cabins in the resort, but from the back porch although you could see some cabins they were across some woods so it was still nice and peaceful, I think the back porch swing was my fav. place, just loved the birds in the am! The kids loved the upstairs loft, it was a place they could play and I felt they were safe. My inlaws travel a lot, and they said it was the best they’ve ever slept away from home. Loved it and would love to come back. Thank you for such a clean, restful, beautiful stay away from home!

Oh Wow. I mean…OH WOW!! Everything was perfect. To begin with, the cabin was impeccably clean. BRAVO to the firm that is performing that task! A great start to our stay in the Smokies. You wouldn’t know that all the Pigeon Forge action is just a couple of miles down the road. Yet the cabin was totally quiet and peaceful, like it was a million miles away from anything. We’ve never felt more relaxed. This cabin and surrounding resort area is absolutely gorgeous! A five star rating would not be enough to describe it. Impeccable furnishings, a plus in comfort and yet design wise, more than ample entertainment and relaxation modes are available for all. Take an evening break after a long day of touring in the squeaky clean hot tub and enjoy an incredible sunset from the expansive deck of this wonderful cabin. We highly recommend Blue Skies and look forward to coming back over and over again. Thank you for our wonderful experience!!!

Owner response:Thank you David & Sonia! Your kind words are greatly appreciated. Hope to see you again soon. -Best regards, Kathy

We just returned from staying in this cabin for two nights. It was a wonderful experience!! Everything was extremely clean and private! The hot tub was wonderful on a chilly evening and no one was near. We truly enjoyed staying here and would definitely rent this cabin again in the future!

My family stayed in Kathy's cabin for eight nights....sure wish it would have been longer!! I am very picky to where I allow my family to lay their heads! Believe you me we slept very comfortably in this clean cabin! The beds were not too hard and not too soft...they were JUST RIGHT!!! We vacation in PF every year and stay in cabins. I wanted to find one with a better location and I did just that! I never cook of Vacation because it is VACATION!! Well we cooked here...lol although it was my husband that done the cooking it was great! The cabin has everything that you (or your husband) need. It rained alot out of the eight days that we were there but it didn't bother us. We had a pool table to use! The covered wrap around porch was also great on the rainy days. I am planning a winter trip to PF and can't wait. We are so ready to visit our new home away from home! Thank you Kathy for sharing it with my family!

Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind review! Hope to see you again soon...

This is the 3rd cabin we've stayed at in the smokies. Liked the location and the roads were easy to travel unlike some of the others. Last nite there, we actually saw a large black bear just up from our cabin, exciting for the kids, but wouldn't stop us from staying there again. After all it is their domain. Our kids loved the foosball table as did my wife and I. Kathy is very good to work with as everything went smoothly. Thanks for the use of your cabin, one small thing the guest bathroom door will not close, but not a complaint. Thanks again.

Owner response:Thanks Jeff! Glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the heads up on the door. We'll get that taken care of. Hope to see you again. Regards, Kathy

My family and I stayed here just recently and had a wonderful time...the cabin was everything it was promised to be! My children loved the pool the most...I personally enjoyed waking up every morning and sitting in the hot tub looking out at the pretty scenery! We loved the fact that you could drive 15 mins and be right in the middle of the action and then leave it all there...having some privacy is wonderful and you get that sense of feel there even though it is a resort. Thank you again for sharing your home with us!

Enjoyed our visit. The front door code using 4 key was very difficult to get to function. One closet was locked and the other was being used for storage. The cabin was clean and very close to parkway. We will stay here again.

Owner response:Thank you for your helpful feedback! We have taken care of the keypad issue and both closets are available for guest use. Glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise hope to see you again! Sincerely, Kathy Blue Blue Skies Owner

We stayed at this cabin the end of April and found it to be very nice and spacious. We had only a small problem upon arrival. The cabin had not been cleaned and restocked from the after the previous guest but after one call was immediately resolved. We would definitely stay here again!

Our family had a great time in the Mountains this year. We have never stayed in a cabin before, so this was great for us. The kids loved the loft area as well as the games. It was also a short drive to all the entertainment in Pigeon Forge. Thanks so much for sharing your cabin. We had a great time.

Our family had a wonderful time. Been to TN the past 3 years and this was the best. We couldn't get into the door with our code and Kathy called us back in 5 minutes and got us right in. It was the first time that we stayed in a cabin, we will never stay in a hotel again. Thanks so much for sharing your cabin had a great time.

This cabin was great. We were 4 adults and 2 boys (8 & 6) We all loved the cabin and resort. Very clean and homey. Would not hesitate to rebook this cabin on another trip to Tennesse. The men and boys really enjoyed the game room (pool table) and we ladies liked the hot tub. Very relaxing and close to the strip. Thanks very much .

The Perfect Choice

Date of Stay: 06/18/10 Review Submitted: 06/28/10

This was our first trip to Tennessee and we couldn't have been happier with our cabin choice. It exceeded our expectations. The cabin was conveniently located, beautiful, accommodating, and very clean. We spent many relaxing hours on the balcony enjoying the peaceful nature surrounding us. We also took advantage of the many amenities including the pool table, swimming pools, and miniture golf. A perfect place for some family bonding! We would definitely recommend this cabin and look forward to future visits.

On a scale of 1 to 10, this was a 10 plus! The cabin was exceptionally clean and spacious. While the kids played pool, we grilled steak, relaxed in the hot tub and enjoyed the beautiful mountain view off the deck. Our family also enjoyed going swimming at the pool and playing miniature golf. This resort was very family oriented and was close to all of the attractions. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This cabin is BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN and VERY PRIVATE. We stayed for five nights and would of liked to stayed longer. We were traveling with two children and this was perfect. My daughter enjoyed sleeping upstairs while my son enjoyed having his own bedroom as well. We used the hot tub everynight. Directions were perfect and we enjoyed being away from the strip and all the traffic, very queit in the evenings. I would not hesitate to rent this cabing again. Thank you for a beautiful stay.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful cabin. I have 3 young daughters and it was perfect for us. We enjoyed playing pool and sitting in the hot tub. I love the fact that it is off the main parkway so you can really enjoy the wonderful outdoors. When we walked in the cabin on the first day we were surprised how nice and clean it was. The internet pictures do not do the cabin justice. We were so pleased with our experience that we plan on doing it again next year.

We have stayed in the pigeon forge area about four times a year for the past four years. Each time we have stayed in a different cabin and have always noticed the cabin doesn't look as good as it does on the internet. For the first time the web photos do not do the cabin justice! There is a great balance between tasteful decorating and comfort. Until we own a cabin, this will be our "vacation home" in Pigeon Forge. I cannot imagine a nicer place.
