So good!

If you stay at enough rentals you have had the experience of the property not quite living up to the pictures and feeling a little disappointed. Not so at Melton's View. Beautiful property, beautifully maintained. I am happy to continue the long review tradition of 10 out of 10. You will not be disappointed!

This was a last minute trip while we had no kids! Whoo hoo Anyways the cabin is very cute and cozy. Overall was GREAT my only thing it is much smaller then what i took away from the pictures. We slept downstairs and the bed was great, upstairs if you love a firm mattress that will be your jam.

Worth every penny

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had a great time! The property was beautiful and there isn’t a thing we would change about our experience. The property manager is so sweet, very easy to talk to, and even checked in on us once to make sure everything was going well during our stay. I would definitely recommend this cabin and would be interested in renting in the future.

Melton's View

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Melton's View October 10-14. We particularly enjoyed the secluded location, which was still very conveniently located to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The lovely cabin, which has a wonderful history, has a very rustic appearance, but is thoroughly modern! Janice, our host, was very cordial, and we enjoyed talking with her. We would definitely consider staying there again!
