We had a very nice stay of 3 nights with our family of 7 here. We were all very comfortable, and the place was very convenient to everything in Pigeon Forge. It was easy to get in and out of the neighborhood. We loved that there was plenty of hot water for all the showers being taken and still for kitchen needs, etc. The host and hostess were very accommodating and took care of all of our needs that arose during our stay. We felt that the care taken for the cabin and us, as guests, was genuine and thoughtful. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Spring Break Getaway

We loved this property and its convenient location. My husband and I are retired and traveled here with our daughter and her 2 young grandchildren, ages 5 and 1. We stayed for the week after Easter in April. It was perfect for us and had everything we needed. It is so convenient to anthing in Pigeon Forge as well as an easy drive to Gatlinburg and surrounding areas. It was wooded setting and easy drive to reach the cabin only minutes from the Parkway. Jake and Megan are perfect hosts. Megan was so responsive and available. Thank you for being so welcoming.

Nice Cabin in Pigeon Forge

Nice cabin with three generous size bedrooms with king beds and a separate bathroom for each bedroom. The property managers were great about communicating details. Not sure I would stay there again with little ones crawling on the floor. But perfect for adults and families with older children. My low score on cleanliness has to do with the cabin needing a deep cleaning. The usual areas were clean but not sure the last time they cleaned the ceiling fans. Also a layer of dust underneath the beds with hardwood floors and under the sofas where our granddaughters toys sometimes went.

What a beautiful cabin to create lasting memories. Such a wonderful host who checked in and was so kind before and during the stay. Plenty of room, fully stocked kitchen, perfect location … no complaints. If you are traveling with a crowd, especially with kids, this is the perfect cabin.

Exactly as advertised

This was a great place to stay. Everything was as they said it should be. The cabin is extremely nice and comfortable with more space than expected and very easy access to the main parkway. There was an issue with a cabinet door that they let us know about on our checkin day and that was appreciated. We will stay here again. They answered all questions for us and didn’t make us feel like a bother at all. Highly recommend.
