Thank you so much for the 10/10 review, James! So happy your family had a wonderful getaway! The game room is such a favorite with little ones, and we love hearing the kids didn't want to leave! Come back and stay any time!
Had a really good time. We didn’t get to enjoy the hot tub or fire pit because we were so busy with activities.

We stayed here with our family of 4 and a friends family with three kids all ages 9 and under. It was perfect! Super kid friendly and so much fun. Perfect amount of space for sleeping comfortably. Kitchen was fully stocked and lots of fun outdoor play areas!

Thank you for your kind words, Charlotte! Please come back and stay at the cabin again!
The cabin was perfect for what we were looking for, and it made me and my wife's big day better! This cabin is great if you're looking for the Smoky mountains, feel and views without the chaos of staying around pigeon forge! Townsend is a very beautiful area with lots of great restaurants.

Thank you for your 5-star review, Evan! We enjoyed having you during such a special time. I'm so glad you enjoyed the great restaurants we have in Townsend!
I had a lovely stay with my family before my wedding. Beautiful retreat into nature, the house was accommodating & comfortable & clean. The kids had so much fun in the game room and running around the property. I hope to come back soon. We came from 3 states and to all stay together was such a gift. Thanks Jess!

Thank you for your 5-star review, Joanna! It was a pleasure hosting you for Christmas. Thank you for recommending us!
We had no problem what so ever. The location was just the right mix of being near tourist attractions in pigeon forge but also being away in the middle of the woods. We loved our campfire in the backyard and will definitely plan a trip back!

We stayed for a week for a family vacation. The location is great for Townsend, Cades Cove, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. The kitchen is very well stocked with plenty of dishes, silverware, glasses, pots, and pans. Jess is a fantastic host.

Thank you for your kind words, Bonnie! You and your husband were an absolute pleasure to host and I'm so glad you felt the location to be great and the kitchen well stocked!
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.

Beautiful home, perfect location, short drive to everything!! Plenty of room and plenty of bears!! I was amazing to see a mama black bear and her 3 cubs multiple times during our stay! We loved the firepit area and had a blast playing pool! Definitely recommend this location for a wonderful Tennessee experience!

Thank you for your amazing 5-star review, Christina! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the cabin and the wildlife, including the mama black bear and her adorable cubs. It was a pleasure hosting you and thank you for recommending us!
My family and I have visited several National Parks over the years, and this house by far has been the best. 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.
Could not have had a more perfect vacation. Thanks to Greg for his friendly and accommodating personality. You won't regret renting this property. We'll plan on renting this place again when we return in a year or two.

Thanks Brian for the great review. Glad everyone had an excellent time. Come back to the Smokies soon!
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.

Thank you for your kind words, Ralph! You are welcome back any time!
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!
