Family trip

The property is in a excellent location to the Smokie's. Easy to access Gatlinburg for anyone that likes the activities of town. Also very convenient to Wears valley Smokies entrance or Townsend Smokies entrance. Overall all the family said this was the best cabin we stayed at to fit everyone's interest. There are bears that are active so make sure you lock your doors on your vehicles because they can open them.

The cabin is perfect, complete with hot tub, dart board, pool table, and incredible scenery to boot! Kitchen is FULLY stocked and the bedrooms were very comfortable.

Nice Relaxing Stay Away From the Crowds

Nice property near Wears Valley and Townsend. Steep roads to get up to the cabin, but it would only be an issue in the winter snow or ice. Beds were comfortable, Roku TV in every room except the bunk room. Wifi kept going out for a few minutes every hour or so, but we had some cell service too, so it was not a big deal. Didn't see any bears this trip, but lots of people that signed the guest book had seen a mama bear and cubs.

Amazing Cabin in a Great Location

We brought down three families with 6 very active kids! The cabin fit us all perfectly. It had everything we needed for a fantastic time. We did not need to bring anything for cooking and the house was well stocked with fun from outdoor yard games to board games. Our crew really enjoyed the arcade game. The location was perfect! We could get to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg quickly and it also introduced us to new adventures in Townsend! The owners were great with communication and also offered plenty of recommendations! I would rent this cabin again in a heartbeat!
