Our 3 generation stay was fantastic! The house was immaculate with not only everything we needed, accessory wise, to cook dinners and make lunches, but it also had little nuances that made it special, like doormat size rugs on the sides of the beds when you get out, so you don't slip on the hardwood floor. Nice touch for my old bones! Lol. Great location for Gatlinburg activities. We walked into town one of the days. Excellent value with exceptional features. We even saw a bear (up on the hill at another house) on our first night there. Would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Gatlinburg.
