They are designed so that you are all set when you arrive, but not to last the entire trip. • Convenient location, less than 4 miles from downtown Gatlinburg, and access to all the area has to offer, which includes its great restaurants, shopping & Smoky Mountain National Park. • Only 11.1 Miles to Pigeon Forge & 11.6 miles away from the entrance to Dollywood/Splash Country! • Our proximity to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park means there is lots of wildlife in our area - black bears, deer, wild turkeys, raccoons, coyotes, foxes, and more! Black bears visit the cabin often in Spring, Summer, and Fall. You may get lucky and catch a glimpse of one of these residents while enjoying the view from the deck. We also contract regular monthly pest services, which treat all pests from multiple types of bugs, mice, etc. Despite our regular treatments, given the proximity of the cabin to the park, it is possible these pests can temporarily enter the cabin. We immediately respond and treat if anything comes up, and have found it is very rare to come across anything like this.

Our families loved the cabin and the location, everything was great, very clean, comfortable beds and bedding, lots of room to roam. We stayed in mostly, cooked meals everyday, glad there was a decent pot and pan selection! We made cookies, brownies, pancakes, soups, stews, there is only a charcoal grill and that was so tasty! Kids loved the fire-pit, tons of games, etc. Thank you, we appreciate your hospitality!!!
My family and I had the most wonderful Christmas at this absolutely beautiful mountain cabin! The cabin is huge with more than enough space for a big family or group. The host, Chris, was lovely and very responsive. The cabin is beautifully furnished and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and Chris even had a beautiful Christmas tree there for us to enjoy and load up with gifts! The kids, and adults alike, stayed in the game room and movie theater because there’s something for everyone to enjoy down there! There was always something to do. Even if you simply want to relax and watch TV, there’s a smart TV in every room. When we decided to venture out, we were close to everything downtown! The grocery store was right around the corner as well. We loved this cabin and will definitely rent it again! My only small suggestion is to add small wardrobes in each room for extra clothing storage. Thanks for everything, and for a perfect stay, Chris!
Great house! Exactly as pictured ! The game room downstairs was a big plus for our family! Also the basketball court and Hot tub outside were awesome. The home had everything we needed. Cozy fires, lots to do and close to skiing and snowboarding at Ober! We would absolutely recommend this rental and would rent here again! Thanks for a great winter vacation!!!
