Our family of 17 loved the house and all it had to offer. The pool, theater, hot tub, and game areas were used daily. The only down side was the home could have benefited from a good cleaning. We bleached all the white towels and some mold in the bathroom. We also changed out the air filters. Some of the kitchen pots are usable, but some should be replaced. We could not find any spoons (soup or tea) so we contributed a set. The listing stated there were no spices in the house, and this was 100% true. We were prepared, so it really wasn't a problem. Overall we had a wonderful time and would recommend staying here. A bear crossed through the backyard almost daily, which was really cool to see!

Elisabeth was super sweet, and checked in often to make sure if we needed anything or everything was good with the property. My kids really enjoyed the pool and the theater room and the arcade games. There was enough room for everyone to spread out, and everything was clean. My kids said they would like to return in 5 days lol. Absolutely enjoyed our stay here more than previous stays in other properties/hosts. Very nice!

Wonderful for family.

We really enjoyed the place. Huge area for cooking, eating, playing cards, and board games. The area felt secluded, but had a few stores nearby in case we needed to pick some stuff up. It was about a 35 minute drive to Gatlinburg.

Although we made the best of our stay, the cabin is poorly maintained - besides a list of items that were missing, broken, or in need of repair, the roof also leaks and soaked our bed in the middle of our first rainy night, as well as our shoes. While we managed the leak, we also had to clean up the mess. No one even offered to come, or showed up to check on the damage during the duration of our stay.
