This was a great place to stay as a family of six. The heated indoor pool was a big hit with our kids and the additional roll away beds were great for sleeping everyone comfortably. The location is also excellent, within walking distance to all our favorite places in Gatlinburg and a short drive to the park. We hope to stay here again in the future.

The host was extremely nice and helpful when I had questions. We had no trouble getting into the room and it’s in a great location! It was a comfortable condo. Our only issues were the carpet needed cleaning and the water didn’t drain out of the shower very well.
We had a cute little Christmas tree in our den!
Plenty of towels in the bathroom!

The location was wonderful. The price for that location was so worth it. This specific room was clean but there were scuffs on walls and such from previous visitors. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. You can easily and safely walk to anything on the Gatlinburg strip. If we return to Gatlinburg, i will look to see if this specific room is available before looking elsewhere.

Wonderful place to stay!

We spent 3 nights here and it was amazing! Everything from communication with the owner to the unit itself could not have been better. Unit was super clean, very spacious, and just downright cozy! It is in close proximity to the main drag which was awesome for us. I highly recommend staying here!
