Tara is a true gem. The cabin is absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, and has all the amenities. The gated community is such a plus. We felt safe and secure our entire trip. Roads are very curvy and steep as you reach the cabin, so we were thankful for beautiful weather. The cleaning service is top notch. This is by far the cleanest VRBO residence we’ve stayed in. If you want a beautiful stay, great host, and fun for all ages, pick the Walden’s cabin getaway.

It looked and functioned as advertised. Great secluded spot with good views. Great for privacy and quiet times. Close enough to attractions to enjoy them but we chose it for the privacy and game room to keep kids entertained without having to go out too often. Clean and stocked with what we needed. Hot tub worked well. New Blackstone Grill worked well.

Property was well maintained and family, pet friendly if this is what you are looking for. Grill needed some attention, location was less scenic than we had hoped and the fire pit was further away from a usable space in our opinion. Overall a nice, comfortable stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Nov, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. The Sevier County fire department requires that the fire pit cannot be within 15 feet of the structure, which is why it is located where it is. We will have a look at the grill as well.

The cabin was in a great location, away from town, so nice & quiet. It was super close to everything though. We loved the drive to town & back. We used the hot tub every day, really enjoyed it!We saw a mama bear and 2 cubs one evening, near the outdoor fireplace! That was really cool! We made a great choice, picking this cabin!

This cabin was so cute & cozy! The beds were amazing to sleep on, the hot tub was clean, and the vibe was immaculate! My son (7) claimed the loft bedroom with all the games! We enjoyed playing pool in the evenings before getting in the hot tub after spending the day out & about! Perfect little tucked away cabin in a secure location, just far enough away to be secluded & close enough to get to everything!

The Walden was an amazing place to unplug and get away from daily life. Very secluded and cozy. A “tree top” getaway! Our host was very responsive to any questions we had and accommodated our pets as well. We arrived to the cabin with 2 watering bowls provided for our pups. Even though the dog park was at the bottom of the mountain and a little further from the cabin than expected, it was still very well kept and the pups loved it! Overall a great place and we enjoyed our little family vacation!

Overall we had a great time. The scenery was beautiful, and we saw lots of bears. The kids loved the pool table and arcade games. My only gripe was that the cleaning appeared to be quickly done, could definitely use a good deep cleaning.

We enjoyed our week stay. This was our first time visiting the Smoky Mountains and the cabin was in a perfect location for visiting both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The setting was so quiet and peaceful and we even got to see a bear walking down the road while sitting on the deck drinking coffee. The cabin was very clean, especially for being pet friendly. There was no pet smell or damage. Highly recommend.
