We absolutely loved our cabin. It was perfect for our kids with so much extra space. The location was amazing as our main thing being from Michigan. We wanted to see bears we saw plenty of bears right around the corner from a really nice swimming and fishing hole, the cabin was clean and stocked perfectly with all appliances, fresh coffee, and cream. Anything you would need to cook in the kitchen they even had fans and a pack and play for my toddler. I think we will be back for years to come.

Great spot fo

The property was perfect for our family of four. It was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the game area in the upstairs loft and the kids loved that they had their own space up there.The location was great for all activities, it’s just a short drive to downtown gatlinburg.The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Enjoyable Stay

We had such a great time staying in this cabin. The only situation we found was the dog having no grass right outside the house. We just went down the road to a small patch of grass. Cabin was so well stocked and clean.

Wonderful cozy cabin!

Everything was wonderful from the cabin itself to the communication with owners! Cabin was very clean with all the details included.. dish tabs, toilet paper, laundry detergent, plenty of pillows and clean linens, pots and pans, cooking spray, k cups/creamer, trash bags, shampoo/body wash and even q tips! Cabin was so nicely decorated. Kids enjoyed the upstairs immensely! Wonderful location just a 5 minute drive to downtown Gatlinburg!

We thoroughly enjoyed the place! It was just what we were expecting. No bad surprises here. As close to Gatlinburg as you really want to be. Saw a couple wild Bears too! Very exciting! Also so close to the Smoky Mountain National park! Awesome experience for us city folk!

Christmas 2024

The cabin was perfect for our family of four. I will say gatlinburg is a very busy town. The nice part about the cabin is that there was plenty to do when we wanted to get away from the crowds in town and relax as a family. The host communicated quickly and the arrival process was easy.

The Best

The cabin was one of the best parts of our stay in Gatlinburg! We were there for a week for my daughters national dance competition and the cabin was in a great location, close drive to town but still secluded enough we saw bears regularly (they never bothered us). The cabin was beautiful and my kids loved having the upstairs game room as their own hangout. Communication with the owners was seamless, quick response and very accommodating, they truly want you have the best experience. Will definitely book again if we’re back in Gatlinburg!

Amazing SUMMER Get Away 🗻

My family went to Gatlinburg for my daughter and husband birthday week. This place was amazing and dog friendly, we were super close to downtown and the Alamo Steakhouse was amazing, Anakeesta was beautiful and ALL the wineries were cool. And somewhere to come back to and unwind. The game room was the star and the hot tub to follow. The laundry was a genius idea. This trip was a 10/10 my family would recommend. We will be back next Year.

Home away from home!

Gatlin Cove was a wonderful home away from home while in Gatlinburg! We came for a lacrosse tournament and stayed a couple days to take in what the area had to offer. The location is perfect! Minutes to downtown Gatlinburg, close to Pigeon Forge, lots of options for attractions and food nearby. We needed to contact the host a couple times with something for the cabin and their response time and urgency to the matters was unbelievable. Our kids LOVED the game area upstairs and it provided fantastic entertainment when we were at the cabin. The property is also pet friendly which allowed us to enjoy our vacation with our furbaby right there with us. Definitely book your stay here - it’s fully stocked, warm welcome, cozy in the mountains cabin, that you won’t regret!

We enjoyed our stay immensely- we had a lot of fun activities planned but could have spent the entire trip in the house. Everything was immaculate from the moment you walked in the door you could see extra touches showing just how much thought they had put into hosting. A guest book on the entry table, labeled light switches, a kitchen with a coffee pot and Keurig, clean dishes and glassware. The bedroom was cozy and we loved the fire places. The hot tub was relaxing after a day filled with hiking and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool table. The review required me to rate the pool but we did not use it so I can’t speak to that. Beyond that they left us a nice bottle of wine, had a custom welcome sign, snacks, etc. anything you could need was there.

This place was absolutely beautiful. It had enough for my family of 7. The house has a cozy atmosphere with log everything, our own personal hot tub on the deck, lots of space, clean bathrooms and rooms. Kitchen had all the utensils and dishes you need. Everything was stocked we didn’t have to bring anything for the house. Hot tub comes with beach towels. Only problem we had was the upstairs beds were dusty with what looked like dog hair and did not smell clean (detergent) like everything else. However, when we reached out to the host she helped us fix this problem IMMEDIATELY and was very cooperative.

Everything you need! Pick this one!

This was by far the best place I have stayed with my kids. Easy to find. Location was perfect to the distant to town, but still felt secluded enough. My kids range from 8 to 14 and they were already talking about coming back and staying more at the cabin next time than going out so much. We will definitely be booking this one again. Communication was great! Another thing is I always bring my own makeup towels to remove my makeup so I don’t mess up the owner’s towels, but they already had them there. That was a nice little touch. It also had everything for a family with smaller children, which was amazing to see. Thank you again for such a great experience.
