Great cabin close to park

Great location, close to the park, the hiking trail right out the front door was great for morning hikes, we did not see a lot of other hikers in the area. Lots of outside areas to sit and relax. Great views of wears valley. pool and hot tub areas are very clean and well maintained, fun areas for the family. House is clean, kitchen is stocked with all the basics. Bears do come near the cabin. Road and driveway are a little steep. Owner was easily reachable and responsive to our questions. We plan on staying at trailside again.

Awesome place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there! My kids, 8 and 12 absolutely loved the indoor pool and pool table. The cabin was very private and secluded and perfect! We also enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and being able to access the trail within the park was the icing on the cake. We did experience a problem while there, but the owners were fast with response and friendly to deal with. We will definitely be staying here in the future!

Perfect stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Trailside. The location, views and amenities can’t be beat. Having access to the Roundtop trial right by the cabin was an extra treat for us. We used the outdoor fireplace and hot tub every night. Amazing response and communication from owners when we had a few small hiccups.

Beautiful view from back porch. House was within 20 minutes of Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, & plenty other local attractions. Plenty of amenities at the house itself. Well equipped kitchen and an abundance of supplies. Had a great trip wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Great Mountain Stay

We had a great 3 day stay here and wished we'd booked longer. Beautiful, peaceful and quiet. You take some switchbacks into the mountain to get to the house. Very spacious, pictures are as advertised. The only downfall which wasn't a dealbreaker is the pool room smelled very musty - you can tell where water stays stagnant. We were lucky with weather and we could open it up to avoid the smell. Otherwise, we had a great stay!

Nice private cabin

Very nice cabin, with nice ammenities. Would suggest the thought of an arcade game for younger entertainment. Hosts were extremely helpful in check in process due to VRBO miscommunication. Location was very private and secluded. Would suggest a little better monitoring with the cleaning group, as the interior and exterior definitely had some not so clean areas throughout the cabin and property.

Secluded with amazing views

Everything area was clean. The kitchen fully stocked.The views were amazing! We loved the indoor pool. Very clean and had a big screen tv in pool area with bluetooth capability. Outdoor fireplace was wonderful. There is a trail you can walk beside the cabin. There was so much to entertain us that we only left out 1 day to go horseback riding. We have a disabled son and this worked great. We had an initial problem getting our doorcode to work but called the manager after getting a signal and she immediately fixed the issue! You will need an awd to get up steep road. We will book again!!

So much more than you think!

When you arrive you see the massive outdoor fireplace where we spent so much time. What’s not listed is the massive and beautiful waterfall beside the outdoor fireplace. This was an awesome surprise and feature we didn’t realize we were getting. The cabin is very cozy and equipped with everything needed to ensure an amazing stay. The views from the deck, look out deck, and atop the waterfall were all amazing. The cabin is secluded and off to itself making for a great private getaway. We had bears visit each day we were there which added to the excitement as well. The pool was also an amazing amenity and was used each day as well! Quick and easy access to and from town, but yet far enough out to enjoy quiet nature and relax made this trip so refreshing and worthwhile! This place is definitely a hidden gem and we will be booking again very soon

Secluded getaway in the mountains

We had a wonderful stay at Trailside! I would recommend it to anyone! The property was clean, comfortable, beautiful, special, and perfectly fun for our kids ages 8 and 10! Before arriving for our trip it seemed like nothing was close by shopping wise if we needed anything, that definitely was not the case. It was perfectly secluded while also being a short distance to necessities. A must stop for eating is Elvira’s Cafe, we didn’t get a chance to eat there till our last day but it was by far our favorite! The property was also nicely stocked with all the essentials. We very much enjoyed the trail right outside of the cabin, it was perfect for evening hikes before settling in for the night. The views were spectacular! There were endless amounts of things to do while staying as well! We focused on hiking, and bought tubes and found the best swimming holes where we could float down rapids and jump off rocks! We also did some day trips to places such as Anakeesta and some local shopping. I would also highly recommend driving the foothills parkway, it’s very close and very much worth it! So glad we found this gem to stay at. Thank you!
