We loved staying at the cabin as my kids would say! Check-in was easy once I really read the directions lol. We loved the location and it was close to lots of things. We even saw two bears right outside the windows in the kitchen during our stay! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it!

Perfect family cabin

Really enjoyed staying here. Very close to Gatlinburg but still quiet and peaceful. We were in a car accident the week before our stay and then i really hurt my shoulder so the hot tub was literally what i needed after a long day. The master bed was super comfortable. My kids loved having their own rooms and with a bathroom of their own. My favorite thing was was relaxing in the living room at the end of the day. It was very cozy and relaxing. Plenty of dinnerware, silverware, and cups and having a high chair was perfect. Overall great place to stay.

Gatlinburg

Everything was clean. It was nice, location was good, plenty of parking and comfortable beds. I wish there was a way to access the back porch without having to go through the master bedroom the single cup coffee maker would not work however the pot worked fine. There needs to be a few hooks in the upstairs bathroom. And the roosters on the other side of the road were nonstop even at night.

Great Family Getaway

We had a wonderful time at Happy Days!! The location could not have been more convenient. My husband, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and myself stayed. The cabin was very comfortable and had plenty of room for us. We stayed at Happy Days for 8 nights. The only thing we found lacking were the towels. There was one small bath towel and one wash cloth per person so there was not a cloth to wash your face and a separate cloth to bathe with. We did end up going to Walmart and purchasing towels. I say this to say bring towels and wash cloths from home. Otherwise the house had everything we needed. The host, Justin, was very pleasant to deal with and very responsive. We all agreed that we would not have a problem renting this house again should we go back to Gatlinburg in the future.

Great stay, ideal location

Exactly per online listing. Hot tub very clean and reportedly emptied and cleaned after every guest stay. Very relaxing and private on the covered deck with 2 rocking chairs and separate table with 4 seats. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. It rained very hard repeatedly when we stayed and there were several minor leaks in the cabin. We reported to property manager. Tips for future guests: Ideal location a short distance from the tourist strip, but driving the main road through Gatlinburg is very congested at all times and parking fills up. Best to arrive early if planning to hang out along the main drag. Amenities: There is both a Keurig and 12-cup standard coffee maker. There were filters provided (or a previous guest left). Two Keurig pods were provided but you’ll need to bring your own coffee for the machine. There was one roll of TP in each bathroom with no spares, so depending on the length of your stay, you may want to bring extra. There’s a mini-mart nearby but the prices are high and traveling to a grocery store requires navigating through congested traffic in either direction.

Awesome house! Perfect Location!

This was our favorite place we've ever stayed in Gatlinburg! The layout was perfect for our family. There was a dining room, full kitchen, living room on the first floor and a hallway that had a closet with washer/dryer. Then the hallway led to a full bathroom, bedroom with a king sized bed and the balcony with the hot tub off the first floor bedroom. Bedroom has a huge jacuzzi tub also. Off the living room were stairs that went up to the 2nd floor. On the 2nd floor there was a roomy loft that had bunkbeds with a very cool game console that ours kids had an amazing time playing. 2nd floor also had a bedroom with a queen sized bed. There was a full bathroom upstairs as well. There were no exits or balconies upstairs which was very important to us since that's where our children slept. Everything was really clean! Beds were super comfy! We have 4 children (ages 3-11) and 2 adults and there was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. There is a dining room table that fits 4 people and 4 bar stools at the kitchen counter. There is a smart tv in the living room, 1st floor bedroom, 2nd floor bedroom and in the loft. One of our favorite things about this house was the location. You dont have to drive up a gaint mountain to get to the house. It's close to everything; less than 10 minutes to the main strip in Gatlinburg.

We had a great stay! Communication before and during our stay with the host was great. Cabin was tidy and smelled very clean upon entering. Furniture was quite comfortable and had enough space for our family of 5 in the living room and dining/kitchen areas. Our kids loved the room with bunk beds, play tent and video game. We all enjoyed the hot tub and the peacefulness and quiet out there to start our days and after long days of hikes and activities! It feels so remote but is not far at all from all the Gatlinburg fun. We never saw a bear near the cabin like the kids were hoping for, but we did hear coyotes and the neighboring rooster quite often!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at the cabin this past week. It was very clean and spacious for our family of four. Our kids loved the upstairs with the bunk beds and adjoining rooms and of course the hot tub. It was close to downtown, the grocery store, and several attractions. We kept busy all day and enjoyed coming back to the quiet cabin to relax at night.

Great location and good for families. The cabin is about 15 mins from pigeon forge and less than 10 mins to Gatlinburg. The cabin was clean and just the right amount of space for 2 kids, 2 adults and 2 grandparents. We also saw a bear just a few feet from the front door! The property management folks were super responsive and helpful! They went above and beyond.

Cabin not far from town

We really enjoyed our stay and rhe shape the property is in. Plenry of utensils, plates and glasses for all. The cabin was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The location is great for getting downtown and over to pigeon forge quickly. The only real down sides were the shower downstairs was very small with nowhere to place soap or shampoo. And not the fault of the owner and if you are a morning person this shouldn't bother you but there is a property down the way that has a rooster who loves 5 to 530am...lol. Not a deal breaker but definitely woke us up every day. All in all we would definitely stay again and enjoyed our vacation very much.

Perfect home away from home

Highly recommend for a perfect mix of smoky mountain seclusion and town of Gatlinburg fun. Everything we wanted to do was within a 5-10minute drive. This also made it more cost effective to go out and do an activity and stop back “home” for lunch and dinner. Our kids loved the bunk beds and arcade. We had a few rainy days so the variety of streaming channels came in handy. Highly recommend and kids are already asking when we can go back.

Cute cabin close to downtown Gatlinburg

We recently stayed with our young family. Everything was very clean and in good working order--very thankful for that! They had plenty of bed linens available, fully stocked kitchen so we could cook and the primary bed was so comfortable! It's a quick, easy drive to downtown Gatlinburg and there's a nice grocery store less than 10 minutes away. We had a great stay! Thank you!
