Beautiful Condo #5206 with some of the best views of the Smoky Mountains.

We had a great time staying in this charming condo, a short drive outside the village of Gatlinburg! Get ready for steep roads to get there though! The view from the condo is gorgeous! From there, you can get down to Gatlinburg at street light #10 and it’s less than 1/2 mile from the entrance of the Park.

It was ok my kids enjoyed it I just wish I had a iron I had to go buy one and I reached out to the owner serval time but he never got back with me. I saw rules and regulations for me to abide by when it was time to leave but I had to check out an hour before that time upon the owner request my over all stay was ok I just didn’t want to give them a bad review because it was nice property. If I had a chance to visit again I would I would just like to have some things cleared up so I can understand what we should or should not do when it comes to the time. My kids also loved the pool it was an overall nice stay.

Layout and sleeping arrangements are exactly as described. View off the back porch is great.

The building appears to have WiFi, but was so slow most of the time it all but didn't work. (Since its the building WiFi, probably not the owner's fault.) Cell service on Verizon for us also was on and off - its at the very edge of the range. So you should plan on printing out whatever you need for directions, phone numbers/addresses of attractions, etc. before you arrive. Once you get going on the roads back down, coverage will pick up again. We loved forced family communication and game playing instead of screen time! :)

Location is about 8-10 minutes from Gatlinburg, and about 25 minutes from Pigeon Forge. Very convenient to everything. Would highly recommend this property. The last 2 miles of roads are steep, so if you aren't a confident driver on curvy mountain roads, you will want to avoid the night or inclement weather. But they are very well paved roads in good condition.

This is a terrific value for the price we paid! The best thing about this condo is hands down, the view from the balcony which is spectacular. The condo was clean and had plenty of towels and a bar of soap in each bathroom. In the future, I would suggest having a couple more rolls of toilet paper available to guests. The kitchen is tiny but efficient. There are enough cooking utensils to do simple cooking, though there is nothing in the cupboard except salt and pepper; so plan accordingly. There was dish washing liquid. The drive up the mountain for the first time is quite harrowing; so I highly recommend arriving before nightfall! The indoor pool was very close by and my kids (11, 9, and 6) were thrilled to be able to swim. It's plenty warm inside the pool house, but the chlorine was pretty strong in the air the first day we were there. The clothes dryer is old school and previous guests were not aware that the lint must be cleaned from the round disk located in the door. Make sure to check that when doing laundry. I would return to this property again.

We enjoyed our stay at The Summit. It was pretty, clean, and gave us a place to hang out between adventures.

There were 2 small problems, however. We had 3 adults and 2 children and there wasn’t a blanket for the roll-out bed. Fortunately, we had a very warm sleeping bag with us. If we hadn’t, it would have been an uncomfortable 2 nights for at least one of us.

The second problem occurred when we went to wash our dishes. The unit has a policy that you wash your own dishes or be charged an extra $25. That was not a problem at all, except no dish washing liquid was provided. We did cook extensively, and so needed to be able to wash up in the sink, as well as use the dishwasher. We were able to borrow some dish washing liquid, but it was inconvenient.

We love this area! The drive up to the Summit could be challenging if you’re not used to mountain roads, however it snowed and the roads were kept clear the whole time we were there. I think the drive up is more than worth it, for the fabulous view you get from the deck and from every window!

All in all, had a good time and the condo was a very comfortable place for our little reunion!
