Gorgeous cabin! It was very quiet, in spite of the activity going on in Pigeon Forge while we were there! Loved the place and definitely will come back!
Everything was great. We loved the whole set up of the place. We both agreed this place is exactly what we would want when we buy a mountain house. Everything worked as it should. It was clean.
The cabin was amazing. The listing was thorough & accurate, I got exactly what I was expecting. The location was also great, directly between gatlinburg & pigeon forge, so everything was around 20 minutes away.
We loved the cabin. Kids had fun, wish the pool table was there like stated but still lots of fun, kids loved the hot tub and games. Definitely stay again.
Clean, rustic, and comfortable cabin in the woods. Excellent communication with the host. Lovely place to relax and see the sights over a long weekend!
This is absolutely the best cabin we have ever stayed in. We come down 3-5 times a year and this is the cleanest, most well stocked cabin we have ever stayed in. Perfect for a couples weekend or a small family.
Great secluded location, very quiet, beautiful views. Cabin is beautiful and well appointed. We had a couple minor issues and the owners was very responsive. I would highly recommend.
The cabin was perfect for what we needed and it is located right between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The host answered my call right away when needed. The cabin was clean except for a couple of dishes. Otherwise was perfect and there was plenty to do!
Perfect cabin for a weekend getaway with family! We had an issue the first night that could have turned out bad but the owners responded and sent someone out that night to assess the issue! I would definitely recommend the owners and this location to anyone! Clean, nicely decorated, and amenities that most locations don’t have.
This cabin was perfect for our family. The kids enjoyed the basement as their own space. We played pool, warmed up in the hot tub and even played the arcade. The owner thought of everything. The area was quiet and peaceful. We loved having the fireplace at night. Great cabin for families! Hope to book again.
We really loved this cabin. The cabin was beautifully decorated and clean. The beds were comfortable and there were lots of things to keep us busy. We especially enjoyed the pool table and arcade table. The hot tub was nice too, although it could use a deep cleaning. The drive to the cabin is a little steep once inside the gate but we have been on worse roads in the area. In my opinion, it is not a bad drive at all. Our only complaint was that we were not provided hand soap or trash bags, but we figured that was a housekeeping oversight and wasn't a big enough deal to call anyone. We just got our own in town. We loved this cabin and we would definitely visit again.
The cabin was great but there were dead ants all over the window sill and part of the dining table. I wish that would’ve been cleaned up but otherwise everything else about the cabin was great! I liked that they provided shampoo, conditioner and body wash; most places don’t offer that. While we only ate breakfast there, they did have everything you could want to cook there plus a grill. I really liked their cabin guestbook, I wish more places did that. People can put their recommendations for places in there which is a big help if you’ve never been to the area. The only thing that was a little bit of a pain was the gate. Every time we would have to punch in the code multiple times. Maybe if you could recommend something with the HOA to improve that keypad, that would be great! I would recommend this cabin for your next vacation.
We had a great stay! Cabin was clean, spacious, and comfortable . I loved that all the rooms and open areas had hooks to hang things . So often we run out of space trying to air dry towels, bathing suits etc but this cabin had plenty of places to hang everything ! Lighting in the bathrooms was very well (ie: to put on makeup, to see in the shower ) my teens slept on the futons and the only complaint was that they weren’t very comfortable but what futon really is anyway. The beds were comfortable and so was the couch . The cabin is IN the mountains so prepare yourself mentally for the drive up ( we are use to it but I could see how some people who aren’t might see this as a con) everyone enjoyed having the hot tub especially after our seven mile hike. All the kids enjoyed playing pool while my husband and I could relax upstairs. The WiFi was spotty as was our own cell service but that’s expected for the area ! We are definitely coming back and if our party size stays the same we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!
