Relaxing and Luxurious!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic time in the two penthouse condos at Highlands of the Smokies. The views are breathtaking! Accommodations were extremely comfortable. Kids loved spending time in the pool. Temperatures of pool and hot tub very comfortable. We did the Pink Jeep tours to Newfound Gap- only thing we would change would be doing a private tour and having them pick us up at Highlands so we wouldn't have to drive to and from Pigeon Forge. Can't wait to return!

We truly appreciate your feedback and can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: An Unforgettable Getaway in the Heart of the Smokies!Our stay at Highlands of the Smokies was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains that instantly set the tone for a relaxing and unforgettable vacation. The condo itself was immaculate—beautifully decorated, spacious, and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. It felt like a home away from home, only with better scenery!Waking up to the mist rising over the mountains and ending each day with a sunset from the balcony was pure magic. The location is perfect—secluded enough to enjoy peace and quiet, yet close enough to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and all the best hiking trails in the national park.The amenities were top-notch as well. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen had all the essentials, and the living area was cozy and inviting—perfect for family game nights or just unwinding after a day of adventure.The hosts clearly care about the guest experience; everything was well thought out and perfectly maintained. Communication was easy and helpful from booking through checkout.We’ve stayed in a lot of vacation rentals, but Highlands of the Smokies truly stands out. If you’re looking for the perfect place to relax, reconnect with nature, and make lasting memories, look no further. We’re already planning our return trip!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
