The home was just as it looked in the pictures. We were 3 couples so the house was great because we each had our own bathroom. The living room sat 6 comfortably and there is also a large downstairs living area. I would bring extra toilet paper, paper towels and dishwasher supplies if you plan to stay a week as we did. Or there is a grocery store very close by where you can buy your supplies. Also bring any condiments or spices you need or purchase at the store. Kitchen was fairly well stocked if you plan to cook. The fireplace is remote control gas, not wood burning. The views are nice, but not long range views if that is important to you. The owners were very prompt with any messages we sent. The house is nice and new and it was very clean. It does have steps up to the house, and there is one bedroom on the main floor, but the other 3 require being able to climb stairs. The home is located in a log cabin community, so there are other homes near by, but once you are in the home, you do not feel like there are a lot of other homes. One of the bedrooms is a loft bedroom which we like but it was an extra bedroom for us so we did not use it. A lamp was broken in our bedroom when we arrived, however, we did not report it right away so the owners filed it as a claim on the insurance policy that you are required to purchase. So if you find something broken upon arrival, be sure and alert the homeowners via message right away. We loved the location - out just a little way from town about which we were very happy. Gatlinburg has turned into a shoulder to shoulder situation and extremely busy. So we were very happy not to be right downtown. This home is about 1 mile away from the Arts and Crafts loop which we loved. Not crowded and charming with lovely things to buy. If you do plan to enter the park frequently as we did to hike, if you leave fairly early in the morning you can get through town quickly. But allow extra time coming back out of the park later in the day. The only thing we did not care for were the sheets. I think they might be bamboo and felt different to us. But the other 2 couples thought they were fine. Overall, I would definitely rent this home again.
