If you are looking for a larger place your whole family can stay in that is both isolated but convenient to downtown Gatlinburg look no further! When you are in the cabin you think you are in the middle of nowhere but a quick 3 minute car ride and you are in Gatlinburg. The cabin was clean, spacious, well decorated and relaxing. We are hoping to return.

The cabin was excellent. Location is great, close to town but far enough away to allow for a secluded vacation experience. The cabin was clean upon arrival. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware/dishware. Having a full size washer and dryer was a huge plus. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

Cabin was clean and appearance was as described. Would stay here again. Beds were comfortable, Internet was stable and fast enough to work remotely during our stay while also allowing the kids to smoothly play online games. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes and pots/pans. We even had a bear come right up to the deck one evening. Only difficulty we had was the driveway is a bit steep and difficult to maneuver the first turn.

We very much enjoyed our stay. There was construction on the cabin next door that unexpectedly caused a brief power outage and a truck to be blocking the driveway trapping us in... however, the host was also unaware this was being done and quickly responded to my messages about it and luckily, it was a short-lived problem. We had some issues with the fridge not getting cold the first day, but that also resolved on its own by day 2. However the thermostat reflected that the cabin was at 74 degrees in the main portion of the house our entire stay. Adjusting the thermostat did not cool anything off. It was very hot outside the weekend we stayed (Aug 13-16) so a few of the bedrooms also got very warm. Overall though, the stay was great, the cabin is beautiful, and the host is very responsive. We would absolutely stay here again!

Hi Rachel, Thank you for your positive review and for desiring to stay with us again. We are grateful your two issues were resolved right away. There is a build underway as the location is a very desirable area. The contractor has assured us he will do everything to keep our driveway clear. We did have extremely hot temps during your stay, along with guests checking out (doors open loading luggage) and this is why it took our units longer to cool down when you first arrived. We welcome you again, Toby.

Our family had a great time staying here for 5 days and 4 nights. Cabin was very spacious for our family to enjoy along with the outdoor amenities of having a hot tub, fire pit and grill.Would definitely consider staying here next year if we decide to vacation again in the Gatlinburg area.
