The cabin was clean, cozy and perfect for a couple. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. The only con was the stairway leading down to the lake/dock, there are A LOT of stairs. I have bad knees so I didn’t venture down but I was looking forward to drinking morning coffee on the lakefront. Still, the views were lovely from the back deck and we very much enjoyed our stay.
This was one of the best I been to! The hosts were amazing and clear with all instructions. We will definitely book again on our next visit! Thank you!
We loved our weekend stay at Sunset Ridge! The location is great. We were on the strip in Pigeon Forge within 15 minutes. The cabin was perfect for my husband and I. We would definitely stay here again!

We're so glad to hear you all had a great time at the cabin! We love the location of the cabin for that reason; so close to the strip while also feeling cozy and secluded. Thank you for your review!
We enjoyed staying at this cabin. The process of booking and communication with the management company was great. Everything in the cabin was as described. Enjoyed the location.

The cabin was great. There’s a lot of steps to the fishing pier, definitely got our exercise. Very peaceful surroundings with all the comforts of home.

My husband and I were thoroughly impressed with this stay. We enjoyed the quiet and clean atmosphere and it was perfect for a small getaway. We did have a wake up call from a woodpecker and that brought lots of laughs. It was great!

We're so glad to hear you had such a good time! You never know what wildlife you might come across in the Smokies, we're glad the woodpecker was a fun memory for you all!
Pretty cabin, interior decor was appealing. Clean. Big shower. Close to town but far enough to only hear the wind through the trees.

We're so glad you had a wonderful experience! We also love how the cabin is far enough away to feel secluded while being close enough to enjoy the cities and attractions nearby!
We had a great time staying in the wilderness.
It was quiet , peacefully, and relaxing...just what our souls needed.
The fishing was good, the steps are tough.
The only thing we were missing was a campfire to sit around everything worked as it should.
We will come again.

We're so glad to hear you had a great time! So many cool nature spots around the cabin, happy you found a good fishing spot!
Everything was nice and clean. Just as pictured and great communication. The bed is very firm. Sofa bed could use a new foam pad for extra comfort.

We're so glad that you had a nice time! We'll talk to our cleaning staff about the bed to see if there's something we can do! Thank you for the comment!
It's great to hear you made some memories during your stay! We do strive for 5-Star experiences for our guests, so if there's anything we can do to better our cabin, feel free to let us know! Thank you for reviewing!
My husband and I loved every second and would love to have stayed longer! Great place, very private, beautiful scenery, and lots of things to do in the area!
The only issue was the mattress. It was uncomfortable and way overdue for replacement. This made for unrestful sleep and a sore back.

We're so glad to hear your stay was so great overall! The cabin and area are simply so beautiful! We'll discuss the mattress with the owner to talk about upgrading. Thank you so much!
We came down to the area from Wisconsin to get married on Halloween. We thought renting this cabin would be perfect for our honeymoon and give us the chance to experience The Smokey Mountains. The property was beautiful and the location was great! The cabin was clean and all ready for us when we checked in. Everything was perfect! The scenery where the cabin is was breathtaking. We had all the essentials we needed and really only needed to buy food. I highly recommend renting this cabin and we will definitely be back. There were no problems and the check in and check out were very easy. Thank you for a wonderful stay!?

Disappointment
I have pictures to back up what I mention. The steps down to deck are so overgrown with brush they were creepy. The front side walk lined with rose bushes over grown. The kuerig didnt work because of a descale error, which means dirty. Shower door doesnt close and sink in bathroom, the cold side feels like ots about to fall off at any moment.Recliner was broken, and lint filter hadn't been cleaned in several loads.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that several aspects of your stay didn’t meet expectations. I take all guest input seriously, and I appreciate you pointing out these maintenance and cleanliness concerns — especially with the deck, rose bushes, coffee maker, and indoor amenities.
This is not the experience I aim to provide, and I will be addressing each of these issues with my team immediately to ensure they’re resolved for future guests. I genuinely value your honesty, and I hope to have the opportunity to provide a much better stay in the future.
It was a nicely finished cabin on a lake. The road to get to it were steep and windy, but doable with just a regular car. We could even get door dash there. It was quiet and peaceful, but there seemed to be something I was allergic to in the bedroom. Every night when in bed my throat would start to close. It was rather uncomfortable. I couldn't ever figure out what it was. Also had an issue with the lock at one point. Having written instructions for the lock and tv (which we never got working) would have been nice. Not that we ever had time to want to sit and watch tv. Great location and the bed was incredibly comfortable!

We're glad that you had such a great stay overall! We're sorry there was something you were allergic to, I'll mention it to the cleaning team to see if there's anything out of the ordinary. We do have a lot of instructions in our guidebook including troubleshooting for the TV! We'll also take a look at that just to make sure it's working. Thank you for your review!
