Family Stay for Holidays

Great location for a holiday stay with family. Perfect sized cabin for our family. Beautiful views, great location, excellent recommendations by the host. The cabin had excellent WiFi service that allowed for my husband to catch up on work and my kids to stream without interference. The highlight was the Master Suite with the soaker tub to relax and warm up after a long day of sightseeing on the top of Anakeesta! Would highly recommend

Perfect place for my family of 8.

This cabin was awesome!! Cute, clean and lots of games and activities. The location is perfect as well. It’s close enough to town to walk but far enough away that it’s private and quite. Will definitely stay here if I ever make it back to the smoky mountains!!! Thank you!!

Beautiful Cabin Close to Town

We really enjoyed our stay at this beatiful cabin. It was not only clean, it was warm and welcoming. Our hosts made sure we had everything we needed. The scenery was beautiful and serene. The cabin is in close proximity to both, Pigeon Forge and downtown Gatlinburg. We hoghly recommend this cabin for your next Smokey Mointain vacation.

Great location for Pkwy access!

We loved staying here — we knew we would be spending time at the aquarium and restaurants on the Gatlinburg parkway so we wanted to be close by, but still feel in the mountains. This was it! Hot tub, in the woods, great porches, log cabin, but a 3 minute drive to the main drag. My kids loved the game room. Great tvs (football season!), roomy kitchen and dining. Covered parking, keypad entry. Jennie was so easy to work with.

Very private

Not enough yard space for gathering outside around the grill . The queen bunk bed was too large for the room. Hard to get in and out of and make up and very uncomfortable. Otherwise the cabin was beautiful and decorated great. Very convenient location.

Our cabin was so clean and nice. I brought stuff and did not need it. They thought of everything. The owner kept in touch with us and was so easy to deal with. Loved the cabin and the area even had a black bear nearby us that top the trip. Would love to stay here again. Thanks for the memories.

Jennie was so helpful recommending places to eat. The location of the cabin is perfect. Close enough to town to walk but still very private and wooded. We even had a bear walk right by the cabin. The cabin was well stocked with everything you need! Will definitely stay here again when returning to Gatlinburg.

Awesome cabin in the mountains

This cabin had a great location to downtown Gatlinburg and the national park. This cabin was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The retro game table and shuffle board entertained us every day, the hot tub and soaking tub were just what we needed after hiking! I would love to stay here again!

Beautiful, Peaceful, and Fun

We had an amazing stay! Jennie was a WEALTH of information. She gave things to do, places to eat, and a warm welcome. SUPER easy to get in contact and responses were fast. She made check in seemless and we were able to check in 3hrs early! Myself and 7 others stayed Labor Day weekend. The house was absolutely beautiful and spacious! Open porch w/ swings, game room, beautiful back yard, jacuzzi, a WELL equipped kitchen, and 3 bed rms. I will say the property is definitely a mountain experience. Getting to the house is a bit of a curvy inclined drive but worth it. Just drive REAL slow. Also it is bear country, which Jennie did warn about. Unfortunately, one of our friends had a visitor in their car one night. LOCK your car doors!!! They are fine, it was gone by morning lol. Location is right on the strip and close to EVERYTHING! Anakeesta, Ripleys Attractions, shops, stores of all kinds, high ropes, ziplining, and more. Definitely will book again if the property is available in the future :D

Loved the cabin! Clean, convenient, quite!! We have been coming to Gatlinburg for the last 17 years, we started renting cabins about 10 years ago and by far, this one has been the best! We will definitely be staying here for years to come!! Cabin owner was quick to reply and checked in on us two or three times to see how things were going. FIVE STAR REVIEW IN ALL CATEGORIES!!
