We had a wonderful stay with 4 adults and 1 child, and even hosted 2 more adults and a child for meals—yet never felt crowded. The layout, with two separate living spaces on different floors, makes the cabin feel much larger than expected.The photos don’t do it justice—the cabin looks even better in person. The owners were great communicators, and the beds were very comfortable. Note that the upstairs runs warmer than the downstairs in summer, and only a few trash bags and dishwasher pods are provided, so bring extras if staying a while.The property is clean, family-friendly, and tucked into a peaceful wooded setting. We saw several bears, including one walking right by the deck while we were in the hot tub—so definitely follow bear safety guidelines!This is a true mountain cabin, not a resort. Come with that mindset and you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway. Also, Ski Mountain Pizza was excellent, and the nearby Chalet Market had everything we needed in a pinch.

Lovely Home with Good Location
The house was nice, clean, and the communication with the owners was EXCELLENT. I loved the location and that you could get to Gatlinburg more than one way to help avoid traffic or jump on the bypass to go elsewhere. Also enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. My only low point was that the AC for the top floors couldn't handle the heat so the house ran very warm (78 during day and maybe 75 at night). The bottom floor was excellent though and stayed cool the whole time.

Very nice stay.
Cabin and location was great. Very comfortable. Fyi, a bear tried to get in the front door and the back door. It was a little scary. My daughter and family were 3 doors down at abother cabin. Lots of bears. A neighbor had their car window broke and had 2 bears inside the car. Just fyi. Beds were very comfy. Areas of improvements....maybe a future deck roof. The deck furniture was too dirty to sit in as well as the hot tub. We also had lots of ants in the kitchen counter and sink. I found raid under the sink which saved the sirltuation. All in all, i would rent out the cabin again. Thank you.

Nice
It was a nice place. A little dated but charming. I like to cook and the kitchen was small and missing somethings like measuring spoons but adequate for dishes and cups and stuff like that. The owner was very receptive and responsive when contacted. Gave very detailed instructions for do's and don'ts which is helpful when your not use to the area. The cleaning people need to clean a little better our sheets were dirty and I found socks from a previous renter behind a dresser when plugging in a charger. If you want secluded this is your place wi-fi is spotty but to be expected in that area. Overall a great stay, loads of stuff to do in the area and beautiful parks. We spent one day at Cades cove - no GPS at all (kinda scary) but oh, was it beautiful and the river was super clean.

Exactly what we needed
Johnny is an amazing host. The chalet is quaint, but accommodating. The price is right, and allowed us to experience all that Gatlinburg has to offer without breaking the bank. This was most likely our last trip with our mother, who absolutely adores the Smokey Mountains, she was in tears with gratitude by the end of the trip. We are not overflowing with money for vacation, so finding the chalet, reasonably priced and comfortable allowed us to focus on being together without the stress of a financial burden.
Cabin is cozy and enough room for the seven of us. We were here for the Christmas week and the decorations were appreciated. Nice having a Christmas tree.We used the hot tub almost every day. We did see one bear in the road one day. The cabin needs some updates and a good clean ,but overall we enjoyed it. Room for 4 vehicles,two being trucks. Easy to find with the directions from owner.Room for for

Family Vacay in the Smokies
Needs some up keep. Railing is weak around the outside deck. The tin on the roof is exposed and is at head level for young children that could cause major injuries. Needed some cleaning under the furniture and if you have a large group of people, more towels and wash clothes are needed. We had to wash towels .We had a group of 7.

Family Vacation
We had a great time at the cabin. It was the perfect size for my family and my sisters family. We saw a few bears during our week stay (14 total). The rooms worked out well for us. Compared to the other cabins near by it did seem a little dated but that did not bother us. We also liked using the clubhouses for swimming which were nice for our kids ranged 3-11 years old. The downstairs jack and jill bathroom shower stall is small but worked fine. Any questions we had were answered quickly. Great vacation!

Bears bears everywhere!
We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin. We cooked most all meals in the fully equipped kitchen. The washer/dryer was a helpful perk so we are going home with clean clothes. Our family utilized the hot tub and the pool table as well. We saw bears at least 15 times during our three night stay. They were not aggressive but we kept our distance and just watched from the deck. One bear did try getting in our vehicle but doors were locked and everything was safe. We would highly recommend this cabin for families in the future.

The property was exactly as described. The peaceful setting was perfect for relaxation. The directions to get there were easy to follow. The instructions for the cabin along with the recommendations were helpful. The Wi-Fi eas great, which was so nice after not having service in most of the places we went.

Overall Good.
Overall the cabin was clean, but there were a few minor issues. There was a used washrag left hanging on the back of the main bathroom’s door, the towel rack in the main bathroom was broken and being pulled from the wall and there was a used tissue on the floor of the master bedroom. We ended up using a box fan in the master bedroom, but one of the other fans did not work and the upstairs bedroom gets very hot. Aside from these minor issues the stay was great. The location was very close to downtown Gatlinburg and easy to get to.

Thanksgiving Getaway
Beautiful place to stay for the Thanksgiving holiday! The whole family has a great time and there was a lot of things to do and see. The hot tub was great - clean, working and perfect on a cold night. The pool table brought out the competitive side of the family :)
There was plenty of space for the family to have quiet time for themselves. Would definitely recommend others to stay in this cute and cozy cabin! The Christmas decorations were an added bonus!
