We immediately respond and treat if anything comes up, and have found it is very rare to come across anything like this.

The cabin was clean and well equipped for family. The property was as described and located close the Rocky Top Sports World which is why we were in town. It had a lot of fun amenities that the kids enjoyed. A bear visited one afternoon which the kids enjoyed watching from the balcony.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear the cabin was a great fit for your family and that the location worked well for your visit to Rocky Top Sports World.

This cabin has so much to do. Basement is full of games. You can stay there, not needing to leave the cabin at all. The place is great for large families or group of friends. We also saw a bear walk up to the cabin - so that saved us time trying to go find them in the park. lol.

Our families loved the cabin and the location, everything was great, very clean, comfortable beds and bedding, lots of room to roam. We stayed in mostly, cooked meals everyday, glad there was a decent pot and pan selection! We made cookies, brownies, pancakes, soups, stews, there is only a charcoal grill and that was so tasty! Kids loved the fire-pit, tons of games, etc. Thank you, we appreciate your hospitality!!!

The cabin was absolutely perfect!!!!! We had such a wonderful week there and our hosts were the best. They were very attentive, quick to reply with any questions we had and gave us wonderful ideas for things to do. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed. All we had to do was make a short shopping trip to the local grocery store 5 minutes away and we were set. The home had so many fun things for us to enjoy on our evenings and days we spent indoors. It was exactly as it was pictured online when we booked it. We most definitely will be back. Thank you to our hosts for being so kind!

I have stayed at many cabins over the years in the area and this cabin was BY FAR the cleanest. The owners were wonderful to work with and answered all my questions prior to our stay. The check in process was super easy. The hot tub worked wonderfully. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals with ease. Plenty of restrooms all stocked with essentials. Every game on the lower floor had all of the pieces needed to play which is hard to come by. We enjoyed our stay here so much and I would definitely recommend others to stay here as I would stay here again in the future.

My family and I had the most wonderful Christmas at this absolutely beautiful mountain cabin! The cabin is huge with more than enough space for a big family or group. The host, Chris, was lovely and very responsive. The cabin is beautifully furnished and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and Chris even had a beautiful Christmas tree there for us to enjoy and load up with gifts! The kids, and adults alike, stayed in the game room and movie theater because there’s something for everyone to enjoy down there! There was always something to do. Even if you simply want to relax and watch TV, there’s a smart TV in every room. When we decided to venture out, we were close to everything downtown! The grocery store was right around the corner as well. We loved this cabin and will definitely rent it again! My only small suggestion is to add small wardrobes in each room for extra clothing storage. Thanks for everything, and for a perfect stay, Chris!

Why they chose this property

Located in the coveted Gatlinburg Falls Community, rated #1 Family Resort in the Smokies by Southern Living Magazine. They have two full sized pools, a small children’s splash pool, hot tub, community gym, waterfall, lawn chairs and lounge area. These facilities are included with your stay with seasonal swimming pools available from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Our close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park means there is wildlife in our area - black bears, deer, wild turkeys, raccoons, coyotes, fox, and more! Black bears visit the cabin in Spring, Summer and Fall. You may get lucky and catch a glimpse of one of these residents while enjoying the view from the deck. We also contract regular monthly pest services which treat for all pests from multiple types of bugs, mice, etc. Despite our regular treatments, given the proximity of the cabin to the park, it is possible these pests can temporarily enter the cabin. We immediately respond and treat if anything comes up and have found it is rare to come across anything like this.

Other local attractions can be found in downtown Gatlinburg, including delectable restaurants, intriguing shops, the always-entertaining alpine slides, and even a moonshine distillery!

We strongly recommend trip insurance, especially during the winter since there are no refunds for snow and ice. In difficult winter or storm related weather situations there can be delays in cleaning and check-in pending road conditions which can be outside of our control.
