Loved the cabin, very convenient to Gatlinburg. Saw bears daily around the cabin, one came up just after we arrived checking door handles trying to get in the car.

Nice place for the price just need small updates. There wasn’t any pans big enough to cook on just small 4” in skillets. The pool cues were all bad so hard to play pool
The cabin was just as described in the listing. Very clean and spacious. There were a few things that could have been better. The beds are not very comfortable, the mattresses are super thin and hard in every room. The water pressure in the shower wasn’t great and the out door lighting could be better. While those things could use improvement it didn’t hinder our stay. We enjoyed the cabin feel and the convenience to downtown Gatlinburg.
Great property that is clean and has good sleeping spaces. The parking is very tight if you have more than one car, but parking on the road (it dead ends just past the house) is an option. It was convenient to downtown Gatlinburg, Smokey mountains national park, and pigeon forge. The area was also quiet, but during full summer foliage you will not have a view, but you will have lots of privacy.
