Amazing views

The views from the porches were breathtaking and were much enjoyed while having coffee in the morning and ending the day watching the sun go down. The area was peaceful and easy to get to. The cabin was clean. We were sad to leave! Would definitely stay again.

Highly recommend!

The pictures online do not do this place justice! My family and I have been coming to Gatlinburg for years, and we have never stayed in a place with such a beautiful view. We were also excited to see that it was already decorated for Christmas! The area is beautiful, and it’s just down the road from downtown Gatlinburg. We also saw a few bears multiple times throughout our trip (make sure to lock your cars!!). Absolutely cannot recommend this cabin enough, and my family is already planning our next trip!

Best family vacation ever!

I will begin by saying the pictures of the cabin and view do not do it justice! What a beautiful cabin and breath taking views! The size was perfect for an extended stay with all the amenities of home. Location was equal distance from downtown Gatlingurg and Pigeon Forge

Beautiful cabin in the mountains

The cabin looks exactly like the photos. The view is stunning, more beautiful than the pictures. We loved that the cabin was out of the chaos and crowded streets of Gatlinburg but was just a quick drive to get back to all the fun activities. The game room/movie theater, hot tub, and amazing deck views were the highlights of the cabin. The fireplace was also an added bonus. The cabin was clean but there was a cloth couch that has seen better days. It had some stains. Some of the cushions had slip covers, yet some did not. Also, both main beds (downstairs and upstairs bedrooms) had piling on the mattresses that you could feel through the sheets and the pillows were very thin, which made for a poor quality of sleep. Phil was very responsive. He answered all questions and addressed any problems right away. Side note: There is not a way to get to the game room and movie theater from inside the cabin. You have to go outside and down the stairs. It wasn’t terrible, just not ideal as my 3 and 6 year olds wanted to be down there often and I didn’t feel comfortable leaving them down there by themselves.

Birthday Surprise

The trip was setup as a surprise birthday celebration. It was a great place to stay. The view was great and there was plenty to do at the cabin. It was close enough to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg so it didn’t take much time to get to either. Phil was a great host and prompt to respond to any questions I had. I would recommend the cabin, but if I did it again, I would definitely stay for longer. That was the only negative…which has nothing to do with the cabin.
