Loved It!
Great cabin close to the Gatlinburg strip, but still feels like your in the mountains away from it all.
Only bad thing I can come up with about this place is the Pool was a little too cold to get in but it was mid October
I come to Tennessee often with my family and this was the first time I booked a 1 bedroom. love this cabin, went for a romantic getaway and the pictures were exactly on point. Very clean and organized and to top it off they offered free tickets.

Myself and family stayed at the Best kept Secret cabin over Christmas holiday. The place was quiet and did not have any issues with the place. We would recommend this cabin and Matt’s team.
Cabin was nice and in close proximity to downtown Gatlinburg. Dissappointed that some of the adverstised amentities were not working during our stay. Projector in pool area did not work and maintenance stated part would not be in by the time we left.

Overall experience was good. Enjoyed pool and spa. Did have a strong smell of chlorine through out cabin. What we did not like were the amount of small roaches we saw throughout our stay.That was bothersome. Made it feel not so clean.

Reviewer Comments:
We seen Bears 5 days out of the 7 days that we stayed. One tried coming into the patio door when my husband was inside the pool. We could not use the hot tub do to all the bears that were around. We seen over 20 bears if not more. 4 were moms with cubs of different sizes. Our overall stay was Great! Although we were celebrating our 20 year Anniversary but we couldn't use the hot tub idea of getting this cabin do to our fear of a bear coming to close. We couldn't sit by the fire at night nor could we cook on the grill. We were very cautious coming and going because of the bears. There was nothing around the hot tub to protect us. Seeing the mountains from the balcony and watching the bears was great. Cabin was beautiful. Loved that it was supplied and cleaned so well for us. So we didn't have to bring much. Maintenance was great very quick to reply and assist. Wifi went out the Thursday b4 we left because there were pretty bad storms off and on most of the week.Natures wild was the best attraction bears, mountains and storms.

The house was beautiful, easy to get to and find, very close to town, indoor pool was fantastic especially if you’re traveling with little ones, hot tub was nice and loved the gas fire pit. The only downfall is the bed and the couch were extremely worn in and uncomfortable.

My wife and I took a long weekend after a very busy holiday and had the greatest time at Best Kept Secret. The pool was amazing, the hot tub was perfect and the cabin was beautiful. Location was key as it isnt far from anything that you want to do. we even had an issue with the projector TV in the pool room and they came out and resolved the issue the very next morning. We loved every minute of it and will be back for sure. And I was able to get high score on several of the video games on the iGame machine.
Everything was very clean. Very cozy. The bed was very comfortable. Instructions were clear. Location was very good. Close enough to downtown for access but for enough away for peace and quiet. We got see bears at the edge of the development. That was plus for us. We enjoyed pool and hot tub every day. We would definitely recommend.
