Thanks Tammie! We were happy to have you and welcome you back anytime. We are here now adding several new things like fire pit, more outdoor seating, rocking chairs on porch, etc. Hope you stay again soon!
We loved the house and it was so close to everything!
We will definitely stay here again! The pool table and foosball table was a hit for my 4 year old! And we were close to all the places we went for the week for my sons baseball tournament! We enjoyed our trip so much! Everything was just as described at the house!
This home was in a great location and was very spacious. I loved the small things that made us feel at home. There is great yard space for our boys to run and play ball. We would definitely stay here again!

Mariah and her family were great guests! Left the home as they found it. We’d love to have them back!!
Everything was great. It was just as described. The location allowed us acces to the Smokey mountain National Park as well as Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We all enjoyed the pool table and board games. It was clean and comfortable.
The kids
We had a great time, this was the second time we have stayed here. We visited 2 different flea markets. We mostly just hung out at the house. I love sitting on the back porch, it was so peaceful. We will be back on our next trip.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We hope to see you again soon!!
I rented this property for my mother to visit her grandkids who live nearby. Sleeping accommodations were perfect for kids. Board games at the property were a nice addition. Large yard. Very clean. Right off the interstate for easy traveling to tourist destinations.
House was very clean and was very accessible to gas, groceries and restaurants along with entertainment. There is some noise at night from freeway traffic. I would recommend bringing your own bar of soap for showering. It was nice to unwind with a few games of pool. Overall stay met our requirements.
This property is in an awful location. We booked 6 nights but had to leave after two due to loss of electricity and water (frozen pipes). We were then personally blamed for those issues and told we should’ve stayed anyway. It was suggested we try to thaw the pipes under the home ourselves before a plumber was contacted to fix the problem. Considering the temps outside were well below freezing, we felt cutting our trip short was the best idea.

This “guest” is our cousin. They wanted to stay for free during Christmas week. Upset that we wouldn’t do that and had them book through VRBO because we had a feeling they would destroy something. After being asked 4 times to leave water dripping in freezing temps, they did not and froze pipes. They offered to try to fix what they had done, but I called a plumber and paid over $1200 to make repairs. They were asked to stay since it was being repaired and they refused. They said they already paid for a hotel and couldn’t get a refund. Then had the audacity to ask for a refund from us after doing major damage and staying for half the trip. Been like this his whole life. Beware. If he’d do it to family, he’ll do it to you.
For the most part the property was an ok stay. Communication with the owners was easy, as they responded quickly. Location was decent, it is on a little backroad so if you are coming in at night it is dark and hard to see. The stairs leading up to the porch are needing to be redone, we all had issues with them during the stay. There is a ramp on the back of the property but it's hard when you have someone with you who does have mobility issues. The house inside was nice, but does need a few things taken care of. There were ants in the main bathroom. The third bedrooms twin bed was noisy and the bunkbed/futon wasn't very secure. The other two bedrooms were nice, and clean. The shower in the master suite is very small and hard to turn around in. It was nice having a pool table for some entertainment other than watching TV. The setups of the two bedrooms were nice and there was plenty of places to put our items. Overall it wasn't a bad stay.

Seems like you had a great stay. You stated that you loved the place in your texts to me. Not one other guest has had a problem with the 4 steps in the front, and we have hosted several people in wheelchairs that love the wheelchair ramp in the back. I’m not sure how we could possibly be more accommodating than that? Well, as they say, I guess you can’t please everyone.
There were plenty of towels. Plus, dishwashing soap, sponge, and hand soap were also provided. The beds were comfortable. I had several questions because I had not used VBRO before. The owner was kind enough to answer all my questions before we got there.
I was surprised the house was in such a country type neighborhood setting, but it was close to the interstate yet still easy to get to Gatlinburg.
We had to be careful going up to the porch because bottom step is angled down.
One day after it rained, ducks from a neighbor come into the yard to feast. It was very cute! My family really enjoyed playing pool. The yard is huge if you want to throw a ball around. There aren’t any local channels on TV, but we were too busy spending time together to worry about TV. I’m sure there were channels to watch, but we didn’t care to watch anything.
Thanks for the great stay! We will be back if it’s available on our next trip!

Thank you for your review! We welcome you back anytime!
We are a family of four from Louisiana. We love the Smoky Mountain area and visit as often as possible. We enjoy the dinner shows, museums, snow, and of course, the mountains!
Why they chose this property
We love this property for its central location, and safety. Its close enough to get to the action and close to the interstate when its time to get back home. No worries about driving up or down the steep and winding roads of the mountains when leaving or returning for the day.
