The location was great. Curvy roads to get there but not too difficult. The views were beautiful and we got to see lots of bears around the property. We loved sitting out on the deck and enjoying the hot tub at night. Our host was very friendly and was very quick to respond with any questions we had.

The pictures of the property does no justice. It's beautiful and so cozy. The location is prim, three minutes from the Gatlinburg welcoming center where you can park and catch the trolley all around town to all the attractions!!! Must try at least one coster while you're here lol. But the best part, there are miles and miles of hiking trails just a short drive away!!! Lastly the host was very helpful and responded to our questions quickly!!! 10 stars and we will be back

Place was clean but the floor has multiple places with big gaps in the hardwood and the microwave handle is almost ripped off and the shower lights and heads are about to literally fall out, the back porch is slanted like it’s about to fall off the hill which ain’t to bad till you get in the hot tub and the water is 4 inches deeper on one side I messaged the host as soon as I got there and never 1 time got a reply luckily we didn’t have any major issues

Overall very lovely stay. We enjoyed the hot tub on the balcony, the shower makes you feel like you’re in a cave, super cool! The cabin didn’t seem 100% ready for us before we got there, small things like some light bulbs being out which, 2/4 were fixed during our stay but according to past reviews they’ve been out a while. The blinds in the bedroom do not close properly which made us feel we didn’t have the most privacy but sierra was very nice and helpful for the most part. A few messages got missed but other than that, great communication.
