Excellent responsiveness from the host to answer my questions. The inside of the condo was decorated beautifully with mountain decor. The balcony was a wonderful place to unwind while listening to the creek. The unit was well stocked and the bed and couch were very comfortable. We wish we could have stayed longer.
Hello Travelers! We’ll tell you just how much we have enjoyed our stay…. This is our second stay here in 6 months! We’ll probably stay here every time! Now that’s a review for you! Laurie(the host) is great and communication is A1! All needs were met in this cozy space!
It was what we expected for the area. Unfortunately, there had recently been a mudslide which closed the pool and left a lot of dirt on the walkways. The place had nice details (even extra batteries in a kitchen drawer) and the creek outside was lovely.
The condo was perfect and exactly what we needed! The space was well equipped, clean, and cozy. The mountain and stream made the venue picturesque. We would 100% stay here again.

Hi Helen we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at our place and we hope to see you back in the future!
This was the perfect getaway for us! My nephew was able to sleep on the pull out couch and I slept in the bedroom. We loved the creek nearby and the soothing sounds as we sat out on the balcony.
We had a wonderful time!!! The property was well kept, and the fireplace was our favorite part. Host had quick response to any questions we had. It was a great stay for us. Looking forward to next year.
We enjoyed our stay! Condo has everything that we needed and more! We were very pleased with the condo overall! Air hockey machine is not there but the arcade machine made up for it! The host responded back almost immediately lol ….. no complaints from us! We’ll be back very soon for another stay here!

Glad you enjoyed your stay, we pride ourselves on great communication! Look forward to hosting you again.
Best location for what we had planned. Only about 10 min drive to smoky mountain national park, about 15 mins to Pigeon Forge, and only an hour and 10mins from Knoxville airport (TYS).We have already talked about coming back to this exact location in the future! And to top it off the back porch is perfect for sipping coffee and watching/listening to the creek during breakfast. It’s so great. Quit searching. This is the place for you!

Hi Joel we are thrilled you enjoyed your stay at our place and we look forward to seeing you back in the future!
The owners we’re great to communicate with, the place was nice, clean, the pool was awesome, and the view from the balcony was so peaceful. We loved it here and would stay again!
The condo is perfect for my husband and myself, though we were disappointed the air hockey was not in the condo. We’re competitive like that. We’ll definitely be back.
This is a lovely accommodation for a small family. My husband, son and I were very comfortable with room to spread out and relax, especially after a busy day in the National Park or Gatlinburg. The condo was very clean and well maintained. It was nice to sit out on the balcony and listen to the stream and sounds of nature. The owner was very responsive, helpful and cordial. If we make it to thay area again, we would definitely consider staying again.
We enjoyed our stay here in this rustic feeling condo! The air hockey and arcade machine as well as fireplace were a nice touch but even more so loved the signs about hiking as that is one of our favorites and the cozy table. Great location but be careful going up that road when icy (and down). Also it was a bit drafty near the outside well of the bedroom but the furnace heats it up quickly.
Our family really enjoyed this property. Don't be fooled by the outside appearance, it does need some work and updates. The condo itself is very nice. We could've used some oven gloves and a pizza cutter. The games were a hit with my boys and the sound of the stream running through the property was very relaxing. The condo was clean,easy to find and a great place to get some rest.
We really enjoyed our stay here. We were visiting Gatlinburg with our 4 year old for a few days. The property was very clean and comfortable with good amenities. The pool was very welcome after hot days out visiting the local area. We saw some bears in the area outside the balcony which was a great experience.
It’s a short drive into Gatlinburg / pidgeon forge and up into the mountains. There was lots to see and do to occupy us during our 5 day stay.
The owner responded to any queries quickly.
Overall would recommend.
The decor was my style - loved the bears and cabin decorations! A couple minor cleaning details: The top of the frig needed cleaning before I could put things up there for a place to keep them until needed. Most people probably would not look under the bed, but I had a tennis ball roll under there when I was exercising my feet, and it was pretty dusty. We also were a little worried we would run out of bathroom tissue, but we didn't. An extra roll would have been nice to alleviate the concern. A couple of new kitchen towels would also be nice. We appreciated the Folger's coffee grounds that were provided. We enjoyed our stay there, and the surrounding area. We saw 59 bears during the week - mostly in Cades Cove! We went to Cades Cove every day of the week. We even saw a mama bear and three babies. They were fun to watch! We also saw lots of turkeys, a few squirrels, some deer, a bunch of crows, and a pretty falcon. Thanks so much for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountains!!
We enjoyed our little getaway at Rustic River condo. The host Laurie could not have been more responsive or kind. The outside was a little underwhelming but the unit itself was clean and nicely furnished the kitchen was well equipped the bed was nice and comfortable. Overall it was quite a cozy spot. The balcony with a view of the creek was relaxing and the unit was close to the nat. park and all the Gatlinburg attractions. We were quite please with our stay at this unit and would definitely stay here again.
Clean with amazing view from patio. A bear visited us on the first morning. We were up one floor so he could not get up on patio. Do lock cars because he checked every car in the parking lot. He got into one car.
The property was great- very clean and had everything we needed! Keep your doors locked! Not because it's a dangerous area, but because we saw a bear get into a car! The bear seemed harmless and gentle, just wanted some cheesy poofs!
