Nice place fit my family very well. Bears all over the place.... very close to dowtown Gatlinburg and 25 mins to dollywood. Would stay here again. Parking is a little sketchy but manageable..
This stay was amazing. We were able to see 5 bears during the weekend stay from the hot tub. The cabin was only 10 minutes from gatlinburg which made it very convenient. Super clean and plenty of space for 10 people.
The cabin was perfect for our family Christmas stay. We have a large family so will definitely keep a star by this one for all future trips to Gatlinburg. The location was great. The cabin is stocked perfectly with dishes and cookware especially for larger groups!
What a fabulous place to host a small family get together! We arrived to a super clean home. It is close to town and yet still so serene. The house amenities were great. The host was helpful and kind. Don't miss this VRBO!
This place absolutely made our vacation even better! There was bear activity every day! It was easy access to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I'd definitely recommend!
Very accurate description of property. Could have stayed the week without ever leaving the cabin. Plenty of space and things to do. Enjoyed walking the area with the dogs.
We had 7 adults in our party. We had more than enough space! We enjoyed the outdoor space a lot. We did have several bear sightings and actually had one get into our car (thought it was locked). Would stay here again, for sure!
From check in to check out, this cabin met all of our expectations. We saw a mama bear and her three cubs. On our very last morning we were also visited by a bear. This cabin is very convenient to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We would definitely book again!!
A beautiful home nestled in the Smokey Mountains. We enjoyed the hot tub, arcada games, and bear sightings. The property manager was attentive and informative offering any assistance. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing trip in Gatlinburg!
It was amazing very clean and the bear activity great seen 5 at the cabin sat out on balcony and watched them just chilling they were not a threat. At all it was AMAZING
My family and I loved this property. Conveniently located, nice neighborhood, very quiet. The kids specially loved the gaming room. Very well equipped and clean.
The host was amazing before and during our stay. Very patient with our questions and requests. Helped us with tips and weather advice.
We were overall very satisfied.
Amazon stay. Recommend 10 out of 10
The cabin was very spacious and perfect for our large family. We never felt cramped or uncomfortable, we had everyone from ages 1 year old to 70 years old and everyone was extremely happy. We enjoyed the game room and the firepit, the hot tub was a huge hit with the younger ones. The management team was incredibly responsive and the communication was amazing. We had a slight issue when someone from our party arrived early and the manager handled with extreme professionalism and grace. I will definitely stay here again!
Overall nice, well kept, with plenty of things to do. Other than the fire pit, there is no flat ground anywhere near. Outdoor activities mostly required going elsewhere. The grandchildren loved the game room. The directions to get there a little too exciting. We found a different way that was much more friendly.
We had 13 1/2 (one 7 months pregnant) stay and we had a wonderful time. Had the whole family together for Thanksgiving. Disappointed that the National Park was closed down and that there was a fire ban so we were unable to use the fire pit, but that was no fault of the cabin owners. The hot tub was great to enjoy in the evening instead. We would go back.
