Favorite cabin!

Third time staying in this particular cabin. First time with Amanda as our host. We love the location between Gatlinburg and PF. The cabin itself is clean and has everything you need. My 10 yr old loves the hot tub and arcade game. Amanda responded quickly when we had a question. Would 100% stay a fourth time in this cabin!!!!

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin.Our highlight was that momma bear with her two cubs walked down the driveway and inspected our car and then crossed the water, since there was no food found.We'll keep it in mind for a next trip!

Great location

The property is located in a good place. We were about 7 minutes from downtown and right behind the welcome center. The cabin was nice. It could have been a little cleaner and we found a few things that were broken (kitchen chair, jacuzzi filter, arcade machine). Our son was sad the arcade machine did not seem to work. We could not figure out how to work the fireplace in the living room either. The pots and pans could also be replaced as most are warped and have a lot of burnt material on it that make it hard to cook. The layout was a little awkward as you have to walk through the main bathroom to get to the master. So if someone is using the bathroom, you can't get to the bedroom. The placement of the living room TV made it a little uncomfortable to watch the TV while relaxing in the evenings. Overall though, the stay was relaxing and it was nice having 2 king size beds. We loved the location of the cabin and the fact that it wasn't on one of the more difficult roads to drive at night.
