Annual spring getaway

Our group of eight family and friends had an absolute marvelous time in Gatlinburg. The house was wonderful with lots of room. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. The bedrooms were very nice as were the rooms we gathered in. My only suggestion would be to perhaps provide a small dresser for the bedrooms, as we each had a weeks worth of clothing and it was kind of difficult to live out of suitcases

Great cabin!

We loved the cabin. Some things to note: while it is close to downtown and walkable, there is a steep hill on the way back that might be hard for some people to climb. Please get bigger towels. The hairdryer would only work on low. One of the bedrooms didn’t have a door. The cabin is so cute and clean. We enjoyed the pool table. Also the kitchen is Very well stocked. Loved the back porch. All in all we had a wonderful stay. We do recommend this cabin.

Comfortable beds and lots of space

We had a large group, but there was more than enough space. We never felt like we were on top of each other. The house is conveniently located within walking distance of Gatlinburg. And very close to a sports park with basketball, tennis and pickle ball courts. And of course there are lots of trails to choose from for hiking in the mountains. The area is beautiful. And we had a mama bear with 4 cubs stroll by the house everyday. They were fun to watch!

Relaxing time away

Halibut is a busy little town. It was nice to have a house close by and not pay for parking. The trolley stops were close enough that our parents could walk. The house is exactly as described. Lots of room to spread out for the ten of us. Please be aware, the kitchen is furnished with pots, pans, dishes and glasses but not any seasonings, oil, napkins., etc. R found that we needed to get some basics for our week long stay.

Great location for group adventure

Great location! We walked to “the strip” several times and enjoyed dinner out four evenings. Additionally, we enjoyed the SkyBridge adventure twice. Gatlinburg is beautiful. > we had seven ladies, we never ran out of hot water and the water pressure in the showers was awesome!! > the house is nicely decorated and the kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking utensils needed. We cooked breakfast in and packed our lunches for daily hikes in the mountains. > the hot tub was nice for after hiking relaxation and there was plenty of seating inside and out. > all the queen and king sized beds were very comfortable and nicely appointed. > the house is very clean - > thank you for promptly addressing the hair dryer. It was cold in the morning the first few nights and dry hair was a necessity early in the morning for our hikes in the beautiful Smoky Mountains

bear necessities describes how it's furnished

Overall this is not a bad house to rent - our biggest complaints are that there are no dressers or even shelves in any bedroom I don't know where the owner expects you to put your under garments. Along this same line there is only 3 hangers in the closets. Even the bathrooms only had enough bath towels for I woman ( at least my wife uses 2). House sleeps around 14 people but only 8 of you can eat around the only table in the house. I think for the price they charge it could be a lot more accommodating. As for the location it is .5 mile to the one end of Gatlinburg but it's not an easy walk & you don't want to do it alone or in the dark because we say bears everyday around the house & along the route to downtown. I was disappointed to find out that it's not close to a trolley stop either - not that the owners claim it is.
