Cypress Lodge is simply the best short term rental we have ever had. Everything from the communication to location to the home itself was outstanding. The owners are simply the best. Great communication, plus an app that tells you everything you need. Owners were extremely responsive.
Location matters on vacation. Cypress is located just outside of downtown yet you feel like you are a million miles away. Access to Gatlinburg was easy. Overall, this is as good as it could get for location.
Finally, the house. Man, what a house! There were 9 of us between two families, yet, the house is so well set up, unless you wanted to be together, you never really felt like there was 9 people in the house. The beds were great, the great room on the second floor was great, and the game room, oh, the game room. We had so much fun playing games together, and all of us fit in the area. We loved the hot tub and movie theater. Yes, it is a real movie theater, not just some room with a big TV. We watched Raiders of the Lost Ark and it was like I was a kid again in a big movie theater, except the couches were way more comfortable than the old movie seats.
Overall, we loved Gatlinburg and Cypress Lodge was a huge part of it. This is simple one of, if not the best short term rental you can have. I can't recommend the owners or the home highly enough. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
