Amazing views property manager was always in contact. Property was clean and everything that you could forget was right there. All dishes for anything you would like to cook. Hot tub was perfect temperature. Love the Bear sightings cubs and everything. Hopefully will be back soon..
Everything was perfect! The cottage had a beautiful view, the host was incredibly communicative and helpful. The home was clean, the bed was super comfy, great hot tub. Couldn't have asked for anything more!
We really enjoyed our stay!!! The house was very clean, and it was a convenient location to town and Pigeon Forge. The hot tub was a nice added bonus to the stay also. Thorpe was very accommodating and communicated everything about our stay very well. Would recommend staying here to anyone looking for the perfect combination of seclusion and convenience
The chalet is nestled on the mountain, where it is quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the warmth of the hot tub on the cool fall nights. The host provided a space that included all the amenities needed for an enjoyable stay.
We had a nice couple nights way up in the mountains away from everyone and the house was everything we wanted it to be.

It was great, the chalet was very big and romantic. I had a great time. The only thing I will say is the driveway is a bit intimidating. I would recommend
This chalet was perfect for me and my husband. Very comfortable seating and bed. The drive up is steep and narrow, I'd recommend making the trip in daylight the first time. Well stocked kitchen area, and we enjoyed playing pool.
This property was just what my husband an i were looking for to spend our anniversary. Everything was as described and the bed is SO COMFORTABLE! Cute little touches throughout. Hot tub was very relaxing and private which I really appreciate. We also saw multiple bears everyday, it was awesome! The drive up the mountain does have some sharper bends but that’s to be expected! Would stay again for sure!
This place was so great. Good view, very clean, and just like the photos. The drive up was much steeper than expected but we made it work! Would definitely stay again!
Overall excellent stay. Very clean, very well kept, excellent communication from the host. Easy to follow instructions for check in check out. Great summery for drive to and from there is some steep mountain roads. All very well taken care of amenities. Highly recommended for a getaway to the mountains with privacy.
Great communication with owner. Place was super clean and very cute. Will definitely stay here again.
