Great vacation home! Had a wonderful time. The views from the cabin were beautiful in the heart of fall. Our host provided us with all the info we needed and the cabin was clean and well stocked. Definitely watch out for the bears as they check things out frequently and don’t leave anything (including soda cans) in your car! The fire pit and hot tub were welcome extras that got a lot of use. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon! Thank you!
We had a wonderful time at the cabin. We had our entire family under one roof. We saw multiple bear at the cabin. The kids enjoyed the basketball hoop and so did the adults.
We had an amazing stay at this cabin during New Year’s week! The location was perfect—close enough to downtown Gatlinburg to enjoy all the attractions, restaurants, and festivities, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. The cabin itself was cozy, and beautifully maintained, with plenty of space for everyone to relax comfortably.The views were absolutely stunning, especially in the mornings and evenings, and made welcoming the New Year extra special. The amenities were exactly as described, making it easy to settle in and feel at home right away. Everything from the kitchen to the living areas was well-equipped, and the cabin was warm and inviting despite the winter weather.The hosts were responsive, friendly, and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. This was the perfect place to ring in the New Year, create great memories, and unwind in the Smoky Mountains. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this cabin to anyone visiting Gatlinburg!
We enjoyed so much Bella Vista in Gatlinburg. It was convenient to downtown and all the attractions. Our host was very attentive to questions that we had and very prompt in getting a few things done we asked for. The views are great, and the rooms are large and met the needs of our family of nine!!
Our stay was excellent. The view was beautiful and location was on point min from downtown area. The communication with any inquiry was easy. Cabin was clean and had all that we needed.
Really nice cabin close to Gatlinburg. Had great view of the mountains and can see downtown Gatlinburg. Plenty of room for parking and the cabin had everything we needed for our stay. Easy check in and the hosts/owners communicated very well throughout the entire process. We have already recommend this cabin to friends. Great place to stay in Gatlinburg!
Beautiful property and Chris was very responsive! We were a bit bummed that the chairs were damaged in the recent storm so we couldnt sit around the fire but otherwise our stay was great! Thank you!
Beautiful house just a short ride from downtown Gatlinburg. The house was clean and comfortable and the view was great. There were mountain views and also views of downtown Gatlinburg. Definitely a property I would stay at again. It was in a quiet area and even had a flat lawn in the front of the house .

Very nice and spacious
We found this cabin to be a good fit for our family. It is spacious, with lots of outdoor seating. It is also located a good distance from other cabins, giving it a secluded feel.
Can’t say enough good things about our stay. The cabin was clean, had a yard and enough room for our family. It really was the perfect stay. We will be back!

Just perfect!
The cabin was just as advertised- the view was awesome, every amenity was present, and much thought had been given to what guests would need. It was especially remarkable to find that view so close to downtown Gatlinburg, grocery stores, and restaurants.
We stayed at the property for eight days. It is a georgous house has plenty of room. It has very nice views and we enjoyed the fact that it was set apart from the other houses.
Breakfast at Tiny pancake house is fantastic and super close. We saw lots of bears in the front yard. So cute! Another fantastic place to eat dinner is the greenbrier restaurant. Literally 4 minutes away.
The views are amazing! Cabin is super cozy. Alot of times when you rent a place you have never been to, you worry about having everything you need and if the beds are comfortable. All of that stress went away as soon as we walked thru the door. Loved this place!
Had a busy week with family, We had a bear out side the front door one evening. Every one loved the house, the decks were great with the views and the front porch was a great place to relax also.
Rented this cabin with a group of friends for my birthday. The cabin is beautifully located with beautiful views of downtown Gatlinburg and the mountains. The beds were comfortable and the cabin was equiped with everything that we needed. The owner was always readily available to answer any questions. Will definitely return.
Bella Vista was everything we hoped it would be! It was perfect for our family of 9 and allowed everyone the privacy they wanted but also provided a nice sized family room with an amazing view for those all together times! The kitchen was well equipped we everything we might need for cooking. The Christmas tree was up and it made for such a cozy home feeling. We can’t wait to return for another visit!
