We had never been to the Smoky Mountains and this trip was a last minute decision. I wasn't sure how close the areas of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg were and we knew we wanted to spend time in both. This house was less than 15 minutes away from both smack dab in the middle plus super easy access into the national park. The roads leading to the cabin itself were a bit scary - they are steep and narrow. The cabin was exactly as pictured in the ad and was super cute in real life. The only small issues we had (which were not deal breakers, just something for the owners to look into) is the wifi is very weak unless you are in the main area of the cabin so that was an issue sometimes, the bed/mattress was one of those super noisy ones where every time you roll over or get up you wake up your partner due to all the squeaking, and the bed pillows were very uncomfortable. Again, not super terrible, but enough for us to complain about sometimes. Overall, we were very pleased with this rental.
