We loved it. Walking distance to town. Loved the fireplace. The bed was comfortable. Heat in the bathroom ceiling was a nice touch. Very clean. Great communication with the owner. We will definitely be using this location again.

Love this—thank you so much! We’re so glad you enjoyed the walkable location, cozy fireplace, and that bathroom ceiling heat (such an underrated feature 😊).
It’s great to hear everything was clean and comfortable, and that communication was easy—that’s exactly what we aim for at Dream in the Smokies.
We’d absolutely love to have you back again next time!
Our stay was absolutely amazing. Location was great, condo was super clean bed was comfortable. Overall the best experience I've had. Can't wait to come back.

So glad we found this place. It’s right off the strip and we were ale to walk everywhere. Will be back.
The lighting in the bathroom could use some work, upgraded shower, and toilet barely flushes. The living room furniture was not comfortable. The top outlet on the bedroom on the ledt hand side, closet to the closet doesn't work. Over all we had a great stay and it's a great location for touring the town. Would recommend
We visited at the end of March. Pool and hot tub are not in season yet so I can’t speak to those details, but I loved that this condo was close enough to easily walk to Parkway, but far enough away that we had some peace and quiet and could relax. We were also very close to quite a few of the hiking trails and I loved the ease of accessibility. We enjoyed the porch on the evenings looking out at the skybridge and surrounding mountains. The condo was very clean and cozy for my husband and I. Check in was a breeze. The host has streamlined this process and made it very simple and user friendly. I would definitely recommend this rental and this host.

Thank you so much for this! You described exactly what we love about this location—close to everything on Parkway, but still peaceful and relaxing.
So glad you enjoyed the porch views of the SkyBridge and mountains—that’s one of our favorite parts too 😊 And it’s great to hear the check-in process was smooth and easy—that’s something we really try to make simple for our guests at Dream in the Smokies.
We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to have you back again!
The property is nice and located close to the main strip. The hot tub is broken and they have no plans on fixing it, according to staff. We had some issues with our room, safety and cleaning, and when I brought them to our host attention I was ghosted, but other than that we had a pleasant stay.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The place was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we needed to feel right at home with the exception of the hot tub which was out of order for the entire property. These things happen. The location was ideal, making it easy to explore nearby attractions while still offering a peaceful retreat. The host was incredibly responsive, providing clear communication and helpful tips that made our trip even better. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re already looking forward to coming back! Highly recommend!
