Everything was great. Plenty of room for our two families to have their own spaces but also the shared common areas were great as well. The kids enjoyed the air hockey and pool table. Enough bathrooms for all and a spacious kitchen and dining area. The views of the mountains were lovely and both decks allowed for lots of people to enjoy the fresh air. I would definitely recommend!

Hi Steve, It's so nice to hear that your family had a nice Thanksgiving at the cabin. We got the Christmas decorations up early, I hope that got everyone in the holiday mood early. We'd love for your family to try a stay at the cabin during a different time of the year...just to see how different the seasons are in the Smoky Mtns.

Thank you Tina for your stay. My wife & I loved a bunch of things about the cabin, but the flat parking big enough for 4 cars was a big factor....along with the great view. So many cabins we've stayed in have very sketchy parking. I appreciate the "call out". Loved having you stay !

About the host

Hosted by Jody Porter

Host profile image
My wife Terri & I have been coming to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg for many years. I'm a Florida native, but my wife grew up in Kingsport, TN (right up the road). We have 3 grown kids that love the mountains. Cades Cove, Dollywood and trail hiking is what keeps them coming back. There is nothing more important than spending time with your family and the activities in the area make it fun to visit year after year.

Why they chose this property

We have always wanted a place in this area and this cabin is so close to everything, we had to have it. Close to the parkway and good roads with easy access to the cabin was very important for us when looking for a cabin.
We love the Sherwood Forest neighborhood and the community pool made the warmer months more fun.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is very well appointed with comfortable furniture and upscale décor. The 3 story cabin allows family gatherings in the game room or the upstairs pool table loft, but also provides much needed privacy when needed. We want all of our visitors to feel at home and welcome as soon as they step through the door !
