My wife found this property for our family vacation planned for September, 2019. Wow, what an amazing house. We had 11 people. Let me start with the views, they are simply amazing. We spent a lot of time during the week just sitting on the decks admiring the beautiful mountain views. There are 3 different decks and the top two have 9 chairs each to sit in. The bottom deck has two hot tubs.
We used the kitchen a lot and it is wonderful. There are two of everything; two ovens, two microwaves, two dishwashers, two sinks, two coffee makers, two refrigerators and plenty of dishes.
The bedrooms (1 on the middle floor, 2 on the bottom and 4 upstairs) were all used and there isn't a bad bedroom in the house. If noise bothers you when sleeping, consider brining a floor fan. We did and didn't hear anything.
The location is perfect. The views are amazing. The house sits at the top above all other homes and you see nothing but mountains. It's close to downtown Gatlinburg (5-10 minutes). It's close to a grocery store (Food City).
Overall, we loved this place. Our family loved this place. We were sad to leave.
The only slightly negative thing that I can say is that some of the dishes in the cabinets were dirty. But no big deal. We just washed them again.
I read other views and many people were complaining about bugs and noise from construction next door. There were lots of spiders in the corners of boards above each deck and around the deck posts. There were wasp nests also. But, there was bug spray in the panty and I used it to pretty much eliminate everything. Chill out, you're in the woods. There will be bugs. As for the construction noises, there was some, but they weren't that loud and the fan we brought helped.
We would definitely rent this house again. It's beautiful, the views are beautiful and our family had an amazing time and created some great memories and the house was a big part of that.
