I really enjoyed the location of the cottage; it was close to everything and still isolated and quiet. We really had a great time and enjoyed our stay.
We stayed at the montgomery schoolhouse cottage. This place was in a great area and we had the best experience! It was clean and cozy and we got to bring our two little dogs. We loved it so much we extended our stay an extra night. The host, Melinda, was phenomenal as well. The hot tub wouldn't come on and within an hour of messaging them, it was fixed! We can't wait to come back!
We had such a nice time in Pigeon Forge, and our stay in this special cabin made it even more enjoyable. It is in a perfect location! We would definitely recommend it to anyone.
The house is in a good location close to The Island, Dollywood and Gatlinburg. Very private with no direct neighbors and plenty of parking. Not very clean; every room had cobwebs on the ceilings, doorways and trim all had black fingerprints, bathtub had mildew around the rim and floors had not been swept.
We had a great time at this cottage close to town but yet secluded! Location was perfect! The cottage was clean and cozy. Amazing views. Only recommendations would be keyless entry with coded door for ease of coming and going and more outside lighting specifically in the back other than that the place was perfect!
Charming one level cottage perfect for a family getaway
We absolutely adored this schoolhouse cottage. It was everything we needed as a family of 4 for a Pigeon Forge getaway. The location was amazing! We were within a 3-7 min drive to everything in Pigeon Forge and 15-20 mins to Gatlinburg attractions. One thing we really found to be special was this cottage was one level and fully wheelchair accessible. As a family with a disabled child this was very important to us and something that is hard to find in the Pigeon Forge area. Communication with the host was great, and they were very responsive and helpful with all questions we had. We really enjoyed our trip and the schoolhouse cottage and hope we can return!
Our stay was great. Perfect location. We walked to Dollywood. It was great for anyone with a dog. Our dog really enjoyed the upper yard. It is flat and surrounded by bushes, like a fence. We could play frisbee with him up there. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautifilul property on the mountain side. The old school house added charcter. We were able to walk to Dollywood. Short drive in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The mountain coaster nearby was great! The patio and hot tub were peaceful. Would stay again.
Very quiet and private for where it’s located. You could walk to Dollywood or ride a bike if you wanted to. Easy access to Pigeon Forge and everything there.
Positives: comfortable furniture, fast internet, plenty of room, kitchen appliances and utensils are well stocked. Also a nugget ice maker.
With 2 kids and a dog sometimes hotels don't cut it. This location was minutes from all the attractions and with 2 active kids I did not have to worry about telling them to calm down or be quiet. They were free to run around in the yard when we were at the cabin. Perfect that we were able to make breakfast, go see some sites and come back and relax with no one around us.
My family and I were thoroughly impressed with this place! It is family-friendly, clean, and well-maintained, with the extra charm of embracing its history as a schoolhouse. Both bedrooms are spacious, the bathroom works well, and there's lots of space for a family to hang out and spend time together. The Foosball coffee table and arcade were both hits with my kids, and the outdoor area was a hit for my spouse and I. I also liked that it felt secluded to a degree, but major Pigeon Forge attractions were short 5 minute drives away. Overall, we liked this place quite a bit, and would love to come back whenever we visit Pigeon Forge again.
Property nice, clean. No light at kitchen sink, low water pressure, only one closet, kitchen cookware very used. Tried to use a spatula and it broke, we bought and left a new one.
Quaint property, excellent for your dogs with no neighbors but be prepared for it to smell like dogs. Just bring some air spray because the pets will love it here! We roasted marshmallows and made memories Because we enjoyed the books, fire pit & the privacy I cannot give it a bad review. But the master bed is horrible it should have been replaced 20 years ago.
The school house was the perfect place for us for a short getaway, after scoping things out, knowing restaurants and places to go off to the left from the main road instead of going into Pigeon forge. The house was very clean and roomy. There is a upper level lot where we took the pups to play and it was nicely mowed and clean. The house itself was sitting on a small hill over looking Dollywood parking lot but this house has a paved driveway and a big parking lot to it and the trees shade it from the sun. Overall this was a very nice place and can’t wait to stay again

The host was helpful & quick to respond. Checkin & out was flawless. We stayed 2 nights, walked to Dollywood in 15 minutes without issues. We could barely see the DW fireworks through the trees. It must have rained before we got there, the outside furniture cushions were left out & soaked , along with the small stack of firewood, so that was not available for our use.The one big issue was the smell from the bathroom,toilet, we kept the door shut & flushed as little as needed., bad enough that we would not stay here again.
Secluded, clean, well equipped and close to Dollywood
Thought this property would be fun for a 3-day family stop over at Dollywood Theme Park since my daughter is a teacher and her son (my grandson) has been going to pre-school for a couple of years. The school converted to a 2 bedroom cabin secluded in the woods surrounded by other rental cabins down the road.
Cabin was clean and well equipped to stay multiple days. We used the outdoor hot tub and relaxed under the pergola. Did not use the fire pit or grill since we ate at local restaurants. We used the dishwasher and washing/machine.
We also brought our Shih Tzu (extra fee) using his pen when we were gone. He loved walking around the area and the rabbits:-)
We would recommend this cabin, and understand there is only one bathroom. This was manageable for us by keeping the bathroom light on and door open when bathroom is available.
