Beautiful location
Nice cabin, easy check-in, 3 levels bedroom and bath on each level which was great for our 3 member group, 5 TV's, steep and narrow road but worth drive, just be careful. You will see bears.

⸻Amazing Stay – Highly Recommend!
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how spacious, clean, and well-appointed it was. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax, yet the cozy atmosphere made it feel like home.The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to do while still feeling peaceful and secluded. One of the highlights of our trip was spotting a bear, which made our stay even more memorable!We were initially a little concerned about the drive up based on some reviews, but we found it to be completely manageable—nothing to worry about at all.Overall, this home exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway!

The Property was nice and cozy!
Beautiful Views & saw a ton of bears.
The drive up is a bit dicey and was not a fan of the beds. (Specifically the basement bed) it seems to just be a piece of foam and no mattress) but we had a great weekend!!

Black Bears and beautiful views.
Wonderful property. The house was amazing and we loved our trip. We saw at least 8 different bears. A momma bear and cub were laying on the deck. The bears are out the most around the cabin in the mornings. Everything was clean and nice. The views are amazing. My kids had a great time. We visited Wonderworks, Ripley’s Aquarium and mirror maze and the peanut butter taffy in Gatlinburg was delicious. We also had fun getting an old time photo taken and antique shopping at the antique malls close by. So much to do! Relaxing in the cabin and sitting on the deck was very peaceful and nice. Highly recommend this place! The bears are fun to watch. Make sure to lock all door and keep car windows all the way up. This has been the best vacation. Also for anyone with a child two and under, there is a pack and play here you can use.

Stunning.. views with bears..
What a wonderful property to stay and enjoy smokies. Great host. Perfect communication with clear instructions days before the trip. The property was perfectly clean and ready for our stay. When the host says there were bears around.. No joke.. there were 2 cute little roaming around the house. Visited the property and around promptly every morning ( except one day - we already felt missing seeing him). The drive to the top of the mountain and to the property requires some driving skills. Drive carefully. Overall fantastic stay. Would love to come back. Also I would recommend for anyone who would want great place to stay, enjoy great views and see cute bear right in front of your eyes.. go for it. Thanks christine and family..

Cabin at the top of the mountain
Cabin was very clean and nice. Views were wonderful. The hot tub cover was broke so there was dirt and debris in it before we even arrived. The drive up to the cabin was very dicey. Some spots didn’t have a guard rail and was a straight drop off. We were lucky to never pass a car on the road because I’m not sure what we would have done.

Perfect mountain getaway
We chose this property for the views and it did not disappoint! The main deck has amazing views and the hot tub was a huge bonus. The road to get to the top of the mountain is one lane and has some tight corners, we arrived at night which made it a little tricky but possible to get up to the house. For those traveling with kids a few FYI’s: all rooms were large enough to place pack-n-plays however the curtains are very sheer and allow light. The room upstairs was missing half its curtain so hopefully that will be replaced. Overall very pleased with the cleanliness and upkeep of this property. If we returned to the area we would happily book again!

Perfect Retreat to Enjoy Incredible Views but Remain Close To Activities
The cabin is situated on the top of a mountain with breathtaking views beautifully surrounded by nature. If you are lucky, ( which we were on two evenings) bears can be seen taking a stroll on the road. It is a well stocked cabin with everything needed to adequately entertain children and adults a like. The host responds quickly to any concerns/questions you may encounter. The accommodations are spacious with everything looking new, clean and well maintained. It was an incredibly busy time in the Smokies during our stay but the location of this cabin allows you to feel you can still have a peaceful retreat only moments away from the hustle and bustle. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place for the smokies
We couldn't have been happier with the place. Great location and views. Fun to see bears on multiple early evenings. King size beds x3 were great. Two pullout couches were comfortable. Tv worked great to watch olympics and vintage video game system, pool table and hot tub added to them fun.
