The property was great! Very clean and extra touches everywhere. Laundry soap was provided, we’ve never had that at a VRBO. Also, lots of extras in the bathroom, shampoo, conditioner, q-tips etc. Again, not expected but what a great personal touch. We played pool every night and it was easy to log into our accounts on the tv. The cabin brochure helped a lot, along with signs where things were. This is also something we haven’t seen at other properties. Marcel was easy to get a hold of and very responsive. He truly wants his visitors to have a wonderful stay. We went hiking and had a lot of fun. The hot tub was great! Highly recommend!!

Marcel was very helpful in making sure that we were able to check into the Cabin easily. He was very responsive with every question I asked. The cabin was very comfortable. It was like home! My almost 2 year old granddaughter took naps easily in the 1st floor space. It was nice and dark for her. Marcel had a playpen and highchair for her to use. Everything you could want or need was in the Cabin. It was very refreshing to rent a place that was fully equipped! The Island with the Smoky Mountain Sky Wheel was only a short ride away from the cabin. Ober Mountain was also a short ride away. We had a wonderful long weekend. By the way I played (the baby watched and tried to play) pool and Pac-Man while my daughter worked. The internet worked great for her to work. I will definitely refer my friends if they are looking for a place near Pigeon Forge.

About the host

Hosted by Marcel Barbus

Host profile image
★ My wife and I were both born in Romania and grew up surrounded by the gorgeous Carpathian Mountains which is home to one of the largest undisturbed forests in Europe, much like The Great Smoky Mountains are here. In 2005, we were blessed with an opportunity to move to the United States to offer our family a brighter future full of new possibilities, so we moved to Texas with our three children in tow. Throughout the years we traveled the US often, trying to find a place that reminded us of Romania, a place that made us feel closer to home.

Why they chose this property

★ We first visited Pigeon Forge in 2018 and were immediately drawn to the serene beauty of the Smokies which reminded us so much of what we had left behind when we moved here. We picked Pigeon Forge because of its close proximity to the national park, as well as its proximity to all the attractions and child-friendly activities that are offered within minutes of the area. Since that very first time we knew we wanted to find a place in the Smokies that we could call our own and that's how the Chestnut Cabin came about. Our dream is to eventually move to the area but in the meantime, we are content to be able to visit whenever we get a chance! We are glad that we get to share our cabin with you!
