Thank you so much! So pleased that you had such a wonderful time. Hope to host you again soon.
Had issues with the wifi at first and the host immediately sent maintenance over to work on it. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Aside from the wifi which was fixed in just a couple hours, our trip was as smooth as can be and so nice. So roomy and perfect for a family or friend vacation. Book this place! You won’t regret it!!
We had a wonderful time with family. There are three floors which kept everyone separated once it was time to wind down but also brought everyone together with different amenities found on each (the theater was obviously a hit)! The cabin had multiple entrances so those of us with trouble climbing up and down stairs were able to access our rooms without issue - that was an unexpected plus! Sean was incredibly responsive before, during and after our trip and I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking.
We had a wonderful time! The house was just the right size for our annual family vacation. We loved the location, and the house was clean, beautiful, and equipped with everything we needed.
The property was clean and very roomy! Great place for a multi-family stay. Plenty of things to keep the kids busy at the house, and close to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

Thank you so much. We are so happy you enjoyed the cabin!
The cabin was amazing! The kids loved the movie theater. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond. We go down to the Smokies every year and rent a cabin. This was the nicest and cleanest one we’ve stayed at this far!
The house was in a great location with the level grounds. Plenty of space for the whole famiily. The theater room was amazing had family time in the evenings. Spent most of our time boosting the local economy lol. The house was very clean. Everything we needed was available on site. I couldn't be happier with Autumnrose.

Lol. One of the best parts of vacation is a great night sleep. Glad our beds exceeded your expectation and the rest of the house was perfect for you.
We were very impressed with the property. The pictures and description of the property match perfectly with what you see. Sean was very attentive and easy to access when any problems arose. I highly recommend this property!!!

Thanks NaToya. We really enjoyed having you as our guests. Hope to see you again soon!
Overall we just loved our stay at Autumn Rose! The house met all of our needs and more. It was so comfortable for our large group! The porch was amazing and the furniture was comfortable. We were close to everything we wanted to do. The only complaint we had was that the floors could have been cleaner when we arrived, but everything else was clean. We would stay here again!!
Fabulous week at Autumn Rose!! This is a great property and cabin for a big family like ours to gather! Porch rockers and swing were so relaxing while the kids could play in the yard. Had a large dining table for us to gether and short drive to Gatlinburg as well as Pigron forge- location was great! Theater room and hot tub were awesome!! Host was very reachable for questions or problems which was nice. Will definitely book again!
Our family gathered here to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We had 14 people ranging in age from 2 to 76. We were able to each have our own spot to rest and relax, but also multiple places to gather for meals or other activities - the movie room and corn hole were well used! The location is exactly what we were looking for – away from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg– but it was close enough if we wanted to go into town to do any tourist type things or eat, it was an easy drive. There were also multiple places to hike, go tubing, or just sightsee. The host was amazing and responsive when we had questions or concerns, and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Sean Pressman
Ashley has been travelling to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg since she was a small child with her family. After getting married, she and Sean began visiting first as a couple, and then as a growing family. With children aged 2 to 17, we've experienced every version of the Smokies experience. From moonshine tasting and barhopping as young adults, to fine dining as a "mature" couple, to zipline and horseback adventures, to the full-on family Dollywood experience! The Great Smoky Mountain National Park has been an anchor of every trip, and should be visited by every guest at Autumn Rose.
