Excellent Host & Location

Laurie has such a great little condo to stay in! The location could not be more perfect, especially if you have little ones because Anakeesta and the aquarium are so close. We were a bit cramped, but my husband and I both agreed that if it was just the two of us or if our kids were older than 2, that it would’ve felt more spacious. I would recommend not booking this place for the pool if that’s a reason you’re booking. It was not clean and just made you feel gross when you got out. This isn’t anything against Laurie as the pool is maintained by the condo complex. We had such an amazing stay and Laurie even had little gifts for us upon arrival. Thank you so much, Laurie! We will be back!

Vacation

The location is perfect. Walking distance to everything in downtown Gatlinburg. However the location puts it in an area that can be and is very loud a lot of the time. There is a main road that runs behind the building and it’s busy til late at night. The condo is in an older building and it does show its age. However, it does have everything you need for your stay. Being able to cook and eat in is a great asset. The host does have a nice binder of tips and things to do. This can be very helpful if you are unfamiliar with the area. She also sends a very informative email prior to check in with lots of tips as well. This place is a cute condo in a good location.
