We definitely only found this unit due to looking for dog-friendly mountain rentals that didn't charge an arm and a leg - Andrea's properties fit the bill, so we scheduled our trip to Gatlinburg to include staying here! That said, we have been NOTHING but impressed from start to finish.
Were we shocked to find the property at the back of a private mountain road? Yes. Did we also completely neglect to read the tailored instructions about getting to the property, which mention this very fact? Also yes - hell, just knowing how mountain roads work and looking at the map ahead of time would have given this away. And the road is absolutely beautiful - a stunning autumnal wonderland of changing leaves and gently winding curves. Every ride up to and down from the property was an absolute joy.
The property itself is massive - Andrea hosts multiple apartments on her property for tenants to stay in, and you are given the run of the entire family property while staying. This was excellent for our dog's morning walks, as well as for taking in the mountain air on hikes beyond those trails that permit dogs in Gatlinburg proper.
And most importantly, Andrea's hospitality. She made sure to be present to help us check-in despite having sent the entry code prior. She took time to get to know us, PERSONALLY, and even celebrated my partner's sobriety milestone with us. And she made every effort to ensure our stay was pleasant, both on and off her property. A++, WILL come back :)
