The cabin was so perfect for my family so much room! My kids loved the pool so much and I enjoyed the hot tub and we walked out on the back porch and was able to see bears! I loved how it was in a community but also you was operated and felt in the good outdoors! I would definitely rebook this cabin
3 broken toilet seats, towels for 10 and we had 26, upstairs ac unit hardly worked, the blender was broken, hot tub was not clean, movie room stunk. All these items were reported to the host on day 1. the towels were delivered day 1, hot tub was clean on day 3. Nothing else was completed after a 11 day stay. Book your stay somewhere else.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Before even entering, I was told that the kitchen faucet was broken, and they'll be back to fix it,never happened. Every shower liners was covered in scum from previous uses,I replaced two. Swimming pool was terrible, the pictures on the listing are extremely inaccurate, the entire pool is peeling. The hot tub, filthy, the bedroom jacuzzi, filthy. The comforters were torn and help the previous guests hair, pet hair, and who knows what else.Pots, pans, cookie sheets and knives were rusty. To add insult to injury, I was told that the pool was fine for swimming. This was by far my worst cabin experience thus far. This is the only time in 8 years that I've left a bad review for a cabin! I'm extremely disappointed!
The cabin was AWESOME! The kids didn't want to leave! It was nice having our own pool, the kids loved it! The host was very quick to get back to me! Thanks for great memories!
Our family of 17 loved the house and all it had to offer. The pool, theater, hot tub, and game areas were used daily. The only down side was the home could have benefited from a good cleaning. We bleached all the white towels and some mold in the bathroom. We also changed out the air filters. Some of the kitchen pots are usable, but some should be replaced. We could not find any spoons (soup or tea) so we contributed a set. The listing stated there were no spices in the house, and this was 100% true. We were prepared, so it really wasn't a problem. Overall we had a wonderful time and would recommend staying here. A bear crossed through the backyard almost daily, which was really cool to see!
Everything was wonderful. The cabin was spacious for our large family. The pool was a hit with the kids, the privacy and the quiet neighborhood was amazing. Definitely recommend this one.
Elisabeth was super sweet, and checked in often to make sure if we needed anything or everything was good with the property. My kids really enjoyed the pool and the theater room and the arcade games. There was enough room for everyone to spread out, and everything was clean. My kids said they would like to return in 5 days lol. Absolutely enjoyed our stay here more than previous stays in other properties/hosts. Very nice!
We traveled with 21 youth and 9badults for one night to go white water rafting. Cabin was very nice and offered lots of activities including the pool, video games, and a pool table. Overall, a great stay!
this was a family vacation for everybody get together and relax. We had an amazing time. We enjoyed the hot tub the pool. There was always plenty of room would stay here again thank you so much for hosting us. You guys answered any questions that we had and it was a pleasure working with you and hope to do it again soon.
The property is beautiful!!! It was everything we were looking for. I was hoping to see some bears, but we didn't. We had a blast, we will be back again.
We really enjoyed the place. Huge area for cooking, eating, playing cards, and board games.
The area felt secluded, but had a few stores nearby in case we needed to pick some stuff up.
It was about a 35 minute drive to Gatlinburg.

Plenty of space for all of us. The hot tub didn’t work and there were pollinating digger bees at the bottom of the back steps.
The house was perfect! Plenty of room and things to do. The property owner was easy to work with and communicated back quickly with any questions.
We will definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property
I love the mountains and the privacy of the cabin. The cabin is located in a secluded resort setting. It has a private heated swimming pool inside the cabin, a movie theater, and a game room. The ease of access from I-40 is also a huge benefit to guests driving in.
What makes this property unique
Imagine looking over your shoulder and into the swimming pool room! This cabin has its own private swimming pool with two glass walls looking out into the woods of the national park! A theater is located on the first floor, and a game room on the second floor and there is a private hot tub on the back deck. I love sitting on the large front porch and enjoying the quiet private front wooded yard. You can even hike down to a running stream behind the cabin. The cabin is just 14 miles to the Gatlinburg city limits, with easy access from I-40 or Gatlinburg with well maintained roads that are relatively flat and wide. There are no steep, winding, narrow roads here. There are lots of trails and hiking nearby too.
