We loved this cabin. The host has really thought this house out and what guests would like to have in their rental. We've staying in a lot of rental places and this is by far the most thought out rental we have been at. Things that aren't mentioned in the description that are available spices in the kitchen, aluminum foil, zip lock bags to use, high chair, stroller, extra towels for the hot tub, and card/board games to play. The furnishings are top notch and stuff you would purchase if it were your own home such as nice pots and pans, commercial washer and dryer, and high quality appliances. The beds are really comfortable with high quality linens. The towels are not cheap hotel quality towels. The hot tub is brand new, and they change out the water in the hot tub between guests. We can't recommend this place highly enough. Our only recommendations for the owner would be to get a few new pool cues as there were only 2 that had the felt tips still on them and add some 2 extra pillows to the king size bed. That's it. Everything else is perfect.
A few things about the location and property:
*The master shower upstairs is cramped due to its placement in the house where the roof slopes down. So if you're tall (6ft or more), you may need to use the shower/bathroom downstairs which is much roomier and has no height issue.
*The location is perfect. It's only a few minutes from the start of Gatlinburg Parkway but in a location that you can access the Pigeon Forge bypass easily to get to the national park or Pigeon Forge without having to go through the nightmare traffic of Gatlinburg. You can also use the bypass to get to the western side of Gatlinburg shopping which tends to be less crowded and easier to get parking.
*It is up the mountain, so the views are spectacular. It does make for an uphill, curvy at times drive to the cabin. If you're coming first at night, be real careful as there are some hairpin turns that are hard to see where the road is while coming around the corner. It makes for a little excitement while traveling. During the day, it's no issue, and once you know how the road turns, at night, it's not as big of a deal. The owner has placed reflectors on the steep driveway, so getting in and out of the driveway is no issue at all."
