Short version: Would recommend, but pack accordingly as it does not come with many starter supplies. Could easily accommodate 6-8 people if there were some air mattresses.Long version: My husband and I, along with another couple, stayed here for a 2-night anniversary getaway. We’re local and have stayed in the area often. The location was fantastic—secluded with incredible mountain views, just up a steep, narrow drive and about 20 minutes from Gatlinburg (which we usually avoid unless we’re craving The Pancake House). We tried The Greenbrier nearby and highly recommend it for a nice dinner.The cabin was much larger than expected, with 3 levels and 2 spacious master suites (top and bottom floors). Beds were comfy, water pressure was great, and there was plenty of hot water and storage.We cooked two meals and used the grill. The kitchen layout felt a little chaotic, mostly due to the number of lower cabinets, but we had no trouble finding cookware or utensils. The commercial fridge/freezer was a nice touch—just note it doesn’t have filtered water or an ice maker. The kitchen is very minimal when it comes to basics—just salt and pepper. There was a blender and an old-school coffee maker, but no Keurig, so we had to go out and buy coffee after bringing pods.A few suggestions: the upstairs bedroom was warmer than the rest of the house, so we had to sleep with the door open and use a fan. There were no starter shampoos, conditioner, or hairdryer—just plenty of bar soap. Hooks near sinks and by the hot tub would be helpful, along with luggage racks. It’d also be nice if the pool table (middle level) and hot tub (lower level) were on the same floor. I don't recall seeing any extra pillows, but plenty of extra blankets.The communication prior to checking in and out was excellent. We had no issues finding the cabin. It was clean, no odors. I appreciated the labels through
