This is extremely disappointing. After we gave this guest a discount for the inconvenience of a road closure that wasn't under our control, he proceeded to raise his voice on the phone to my wife. We bent over backwards to ensure his family had a good time. This review is outrageous and I would never rent to this guest again.
Cabin was great, location is good. It is in the mountains which we liked (yes you've gotta go up). Would book again if we visit pigeon forge again. Thanks!

Thank you for staying with us! We are glad you enjoyed our home.
We loved our stay here! The owner was very quick to reply anytime we had questions. The cabin was perfectly stocked and the kids loved the game room! It was great to be a short drive from all the attractions but secluded and peaceful for relaxing at night after a busy day. We would gladly stay here again if we find ourselves back in the area again.
We liked the cabin overallThe kitchen was stocked with everything to cook with . Just no room for things if you bring snacks or anything that doesn't need refrigerated...Everything in the pictures was as they are.. The only thing we really didnt like was parking on the hillside and the uphill driveways. Wasn't pictured
From the moment I booked the cabin the owner was so wonderful, answering my questions about various things. He truly could not have been more friendly! We loved everything about the cabin. There were six of us (ages 12-75) and it was the perfect size. Check in was super easy, as was check out, and Andrew was extra gracious to let us check out a little late. We will definitely stay here again next year! THANK YOU!!
Beautiful cabin tucked up on the mountain. Short walk to a pond with beautiful views. Porch swing, Rockin chairs, hot tub, pool table! You could stay here an go no where or your just a short drive to Pigeon Forge. Only issue we had was the driveway and parking. Very sharp curve and narrow driveway to park. Luckily the neighbors weren’t there until the end of our stay or we would have had to walk up the hill to the house. I would recommend driving a small vehicle.

Beds were awful
The cabin is beautiful. The problems we had were the beds were very uncomfortable and it needed a good cleaning. Cob webs everywhere, even someone’s swim trunks were left on the hook of the door in the bathroom. The downstairs toilet is in desperate need of repair. The floors were also dirty.
The cabin was very well stocked with anything we needed to cook with.
We enjoyed our stay with 8 of us; which includes an 18 month old, 5 yo and 8 yo. It was great to have two levels to spread out. We did Thanksgiving here; mostly catered from The Honey Ham Co but did use the kitchen for a couple sides and breakfast. The hot tub was great from what my dad and sister said. The neon room was an extra fun touch with our boys. Bathrooms were clean and spacious. They had a pack in play we used and did some quick baby proofing with bungie cords so he did not get into the kitchen utensils and knives. We do have 2 large vehicles; an Expedition Max and Tundra. The driveway is very steep with a tight turn and we were thankful for an open parking lot at the bottom of the hill to be able to park one of the vehicles. Thanks for the hospitality!

Laura we are so glad you had a great Thanksgiving holiday with the family! And thank you so much for the glowing review. We put a lot of work into the cabin just for wonderful guests like you!
I highly recommend this place to rent for holiday vacations or really any vacation, it's very kid friendly, I like how when I walked in there was a Christmas tree lit up. Our first night there I noticed everything was great except the hot tub wasn't running but the host was very responsive about getting it fixed, he actually made sure it was fixed before the next day was over and was in constant contact with me till it got fixed. Other than that no complaints although I do recommend not driving a very long vehicle due to parking space, fortunately the neighbors on the hill wasn't home so we was able to turn around up there, if it wasn't for that it would be a tight turnaround area but I know that's not the host fault. Once again. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your kinds words! Please come back anytime, we are so happy you enjoyed your time at the cabin.
This cabin was exactly as described, close to the main parkway but far enough away to relax. The host communicated well. The cabin was well stocked with needed kitchen items and extra unexpected perks were a basket of snacks that I my kids loved when we arrived and a bottle of wine for the adults. The decks were peaceful, especially the porch swing. We enjoyed the stay and it was exactly what we needed....a quick peaceful family getaway. We would recommend this cabin and host!
The parking is small but we drove a full size Truck and was able to turn around and park easily.
We all enjoyed the hot tub on the cooler evenings and nights.
My daughters ages 11 and 14 enjoyed the neon black light room. It was like having a space for just them to hang out in. They tried playing pool and a few other games. But mostly they played music and had the led lights on.
Very cozy, quiet location with lots of privacy. Close to amenities and attractions.

The checkin process was flawless and the property manager was fantastic. The cabin was very dirty.
Everything would have been fine if the cabin wasnt dirty (which we let the host know). The hot-tub had a brown film around the entire inside, the shower was covered in mold, the water smelled like stagnant water or sulpher water which was very unpleasant when showering, and the dishes were dirty so we had to wash before use. It really was unfortunate paying all the money we did to stay there and our experience was not great. The host was communicative. The very short drive to Pigeon Forge was fantastic for us. Parking at the cabin was a bit dangerous with eroding asphalt and very limited space. Would not recommend traveling there with 2 vehicles.

The Calandria is a well-maintained, charming cabin with plenty of space for the kids to roam free. It can also be a very romantic spot for a getaway with a hot tub, Jacuzzi, and private master bedroom. The seclusion in the tall pines and the mountain views add to the allure of the cabin. It is easy for our family and yours to recharge by relaxing by the pond, playing on the playground down the street, enjoying the National Park nearby, and walking down main street during Christmas time with all the lights hung up!
