What an amazing place! Out of the way of traffic but easy to get to everything. The house was decorated for Christmas! Plenty of room for everyone. Can’t wait to come back. The owners went above and beyond to make this a great birthday celebration.

We had an amazing stay at Shambala! At first I was nervous—how could there be so many amazing reviews? I understand why now. The hosts are incredibly kind people. They went out of their way to make sure we were well cared for. The home was immaculate (and I’m kind of a neat freak!). Extremely well maintained—and decorated with care. This property has it all, amenities and location. Being right on the river (and just of the strip) was perfect! Don’t hesitate to book Shambala should you have the opportunity.

Bobby and Linda were excellent hosts, and were very helpful before and during our stay. Their home was very welcoming and clean, excellent for our multi family stay with many kids. The location was excellent, short distance to dinner shows, restaurants, attractions, and a short drive to the national park. Christmas is an excellent time to visit. Southern cuisine, Dollywood, and the trails in National Park, and the general hospitality were some of the highlights. The floor plan for the home was excellent offering both multi family together time as well as rest time. There is also space for children to hang out and adults to chat. The dining area was excellent in accommodating everyone. Kitchen is conducive to multi family cooking.

We loved our stay at your beautiful cabin. Host was easy to communicate with. Cabin was clean and well stocked. We loved the bamboo sheets on the beds, so comfy! My grand children loved getting in the river across road, fishing and exploring. They also enjoyed the fire pit a couple of nights we were there. There is construction next door but didn’t bother us much at all. Look forward to staying again !

Absolutely gorgeous cabin and wonderfully stocked for a family! Only draw back (that would be temporary) was construction noise on cabin next door that was 30 feet away, and started at 8am on Saturday morning which wrecked coffee quiet time, nature, sleep. Best things - location is perfect, walkable, firepit on the river, game room/pool table for all ages, front porch sittin'!
