The chalet is maintained by Mountaineer Cleaning Company which does an excellent job at making sure the cabin is in exceptional condition for each arriving guest.

Overall house was excellent. Close to restaurants, shops and stores. House was clean and check in process was easy. Nice views and porch was great. Hot tub was a bit dirty. The filter looked to be the wrong size so there were quite a bit of floating debris. The driveway was very very steep. Felt bad for my car every time

Glad your enjoyed the cabin and hope your travels brings you back to Gatlinburg in the future.

This is the first time we've used VRBO to rent a cabin in Gatlinburg. We usually use APG. But we took the chance with VRBO, and I'm glad we did! Above the Glades turned out to be a wonderful place to spend our week in Gatlinburg. Deborah was awesome to work with and very responsive to questions. The cabin was very clean, great furniture and beds. The kitchen is pretty well equipped (one suggestion, add a pizza pan or two) with everything you need, including a slow cooker. Upscale linen and towels. Lots of soap, shampoo, etc. Highly recommend this cabin!

Debbie was amazing from the start! Her response time on questions was fast. You could tell she genuinely cares not only about your stay but your safety. The cabin is super clean and pictures do no justice to how beautiful it is. Plenty of towels and toiletries. We couldn’t have asked for a better cabin to stay for the weekend.

Thank you Julie for your very kind review. I am glad that we were able to reschedule your trip due the snow storm. During those heavy snow storms it is not safe to travel. Glad I was able to accommodate you and that you got to enjoy your time at the cabin and In Gatlinburg. You are most kind. Thank you again and hope your travels brings you back again.

Stunning view! You can watch the sunrise over the mountains from the master suite! The cabin was clean, the host very helpful and friendly, and the pool table was a hit with our adult children. The driveway was a little tricky, not enough to be a problem though. We had a wonderful stay and are looking forward to our next visit!
Beautiful 2 story windows frame the sunrise and a view of a starlit night.

The cabin is phenomenal and views are even better. All the amenities worked great and fully functional. The host was very responsive and stayed in communication throughout the stay. She ensured you were aware of weather and close attractions/activities. The driveway is extremely steep and uncomfortable for inexperienced drivers. We had a small truck 4WD and a large SUV AWD. The truck had no issues because of the size, but the large SUV struggled with scraping. The only issue we ever had throughout the stay was lack of blankets. Everything else was great and would definitely return especially with how great the host is.

Thank you Collin for your reservation. It was a pleasure to host you and your guests. I know the blizzard made the driveway more difficult to manage. Also, housekeeping took 2 of the blankets to wash and was unable to return them in time for your arrival due to poor driving condition due to the winter storm. Therefore, there were only 2 blankets and throws. I appreciate your feedback and hope that your travels brings you back again.

This cabin was perfect for our fall break with two teenage girls. Plenty of room to spread out, the view was awesome (!) and the location was perfectly between Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. There was even a cute little community of shops and daytime restaurants at the base of the road that was a bonus and unexpected surprise! We will be back!
