Perfect Cabin for a GSMNP Adventure!

This cabin is wonderful - we enjoyed every minute there. So many positives: 1. The location is AMAZING for getting to GSMNP quickly, also for getting into Downtown Gatlinburg quickly. We also loved that the cabin wasn't hanging off the side of a cliff (even though some of those have great views) because we have 2 small girls that like to test limits and having a pretty level lot with no crazy drops was helpful for keeping us sane! 2. The cabin is very rustic and makes you feel like you are in a super remote area (which you are!) but it has all the modern conveniences that make it easy to be there (wifi, dishwasher!, great fridge, washer and dryer, theater area, great water pressure and hot water). 3. My 5 year old said she didn't want to go home because her bed was so comfy - and we all agreed that the beds were great - super comfortable and everyone slept well all week. We kept remarking that no one's backs hurt from bad mattresses! 44. The host is super responsive and helpful. The instructions are so easy to follow and check in was a breeze. The communication was great beforehand with information needed and especially communicating the importance of all the bear precautions beforehand. We had a huge black bear walking around the yard one evening which was a highlight but we felt so safe and secure and knew what to do to enjoy seeing it from a safe distance. Great cabin, loved every minute there!

Great Place to Stay - Close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge

The house was close to downtown Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and hiking. The amenities and pools were nice and the pools were very close to the house. There were a couple of instances where bears came onto the property and had cubs with them. They played around by the jungle gym and it was very neat for us all to watch!

Overall, the property is a nice place to stay and is very close to all the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge amenities. The only downside is there is no bathroom on the 2nd floor where the master bedroom is located. The community has a couple community pools and community amenities.

Bears Galore!

The listing stated Bears Galore! and it was not wrong. Bears at the cabin including mama and 3 cubs. The cabin itself was excellent, with plenty of space for us. And it was located a short drive from many family-friendly activities. We had no issues or problems with the cabin during our stay. We will certainly put this cabin on our list to re-visit Thank you for having us.

Nice cabin minutes from Gatlinburg and Smokies

This was the perfect cabin for a family of 5 traveling to the Smokey Mountains. It was clean and spacious. On our one rainy day we had a great time staying indoors and playing pool, watching TV and using the (electric) fireplace. Warm, cozy and inviting. Location is great, not in the hustle-bustle of town but 5 min to the Gatlinburg trolley and 4 min to the convenience store. We had one snafu: the refrigerator broke on day 2. The manager was super responsive, getting a new mini fridge delivered the next day and reimbursing us for spoiled food. We cooked every day so this was very important to us and it worked out well.

Lovely Spring break trip

Great to be away from the downtown Pigeon forge and Gatlinburg chaos but not too far either. Easy access to National park, and had we planned our drive better would have liked to stay longer. Youngest loved the play areas, I loved the covered porch (it was raining when we arrived), overall a nice place.

The cabin was wonderful and the location ideal. The kitchen was perfect for our group and we loved hanging out downstairs. But the best part was the bear that walked casually across the property (and barely seemed to notice us). Super cool experience!!
