Great location. Very convenient to walk to the strip. Home was a great vacation getaway. WiFi was a little slow, so plan for that. O

Thank you for the awesome Review Kenneth! We are so glad you enjoyed the cabin and all its amenities. It really is a beautiful house. We hope to see you again soon in the Smokies!!
Very easy check in and very welcoming. House was very clean and in a great location to where walking downtown was a ease. Host was very polite and inquiring if we needed anything to let them know
Christmas Wonderland! Our family came before Christmas to celebrate together. The entire house was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Tons of space, many bedrooms & bathrooms, it is a perfect family getaway home. We walked downtown every day and never worried about traffic and parking. The house has so many luxury features like fireplaces in most bedrooms and towel warmers. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. The huge dinning table was fantastic. We already want to come back.

Water pressure in main bathroom sinks Downstairs bathroom tub very slow to drain they stood in waterMouse dropping in kitchen drawersHorrible septic smells on 3 occasions i called no one did anything to correct drainage or smellPorches were very dirty with debris I had to spend 1 hr cleaning that i would thought cabin would have been checked and made ready for our stay. 8,000 for 1 week i would have assumed it would be in top shape.
The house was beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. We did have an issue with a sewage odor that would become strong at times. We reported the smell when we first arrived because it was overwhelming. They said that someone would come out and check. The smell was consistent during our entire stay - sometimes it would fade and sometimes it would cause us to leave the home. We could not use the lower bedroom because of the odor. The home is lovely and I would like to stay here again - if they can get the sewage smell eliminated.
The cabin is amazing. Beautiful kitchen equipped with all of the things you need to cook. Very comfy couch in the living room and additional couches by the dinning area. Huge dinning table for the whole family. Very wellDecorated rooms with comfortable beds. The hot tub was so relaxing. 10000/10 recommend this cabin to anyone.
Outstanding house! Close to town but not in the traffic. Beautiful wooded lot. Lots of room to spread out and relax.

Perfect location for a quick Smokey Mountain vacation! Walking distance to downtown and the aquarium! Had pizza delivered and enjoyed the house one night too! A beautiful home with everything we needed!

Thank you for your kind words Traci! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. We are looking forward to hosting you all again in the future!
The house is great, the location to everything is walkable, and Aunt Bugs was very on top of everything.
The only thing I would change is the 10am checkout, with all the people and kids we had it was tight and the house was kept clean the whole time. It was a great stay!
The home was very clean and well stocked with everything even a larger group might need. The kitchen was spacious and perfect for preparing a full Thanksgiving feast. The driveway was flat and easy to use—much better than many homes in the area. The location is convenient as well: about a 15-minute walk to the edge of downtown and roughly 30 minutes to the center of the main strip.The amenities were a big highlight. The hot tub, fire table, basketball hoop, two arcade game cabinets, and the washer and dryer were all in great working condition and really added to the enjoyment of our stay.We had a couple of minor issues during our visit, but the property manager responded quickly each time and was helpful in resolving them. Our only real negative was that once or twice a day, a strong sewer smell appeared in a couple of the bedrooms and took a long time to dissipate. We contacted the property manager twice, and although they did come out and “fix” it, we were told it was caused by a vent flap sticking open. Unfortunately, this did result in someone having to sleep outside their bedroom on two separate nights.Overall, the home had many positives, and we would definitely consider staying here again—hopefully with the sewer smell issue fully resolved.

We’re delighted to hear the home was clean, well stocked, and comfortable for your Thanksgiving stay, and that the kitchen, easy driveway, convenient location, and great amenities all added to your enjoyment. We truly appreciate your patience regarding the sewer smell issue and are very sorry it impacted part of your visit; our team is continuing to work on a full and permanent fix so this doesn’t happen again. Thank you for giving us the chance to address it. We’re grateful you chose to stay with us and are happy to hear you would consider returning—we’d love to welcome you back for an even smoother experience next time!
Quality space for bathing sleeping cooking eating visiting. Wonderful location walking distance to main Gatlinburg. For the cost I would have preferred a cleaner property.
We usually stay up in the mountains but this was a shorter trip so the location was great because you’re right in town. In less than 2 minutes you’re at the light to go towards downtown Gatlinburg/ the National Park or go toward Pigeon Forge.
We loved everything about the property… the location was in walking distance to town. The house had EVERYTHING you could possibly think of to make your stay enjoyable. Communication was great.
Lovely home, great layout, and easy check-in. House was a short ten-minute walk from downtown and we saw bears in the yard nearly every day - including a momma and her two cubs.
Property was very nice for a group of 10. Parking is plentiful for many cars, the beds are comfy, the kitchen is huge. The basketball court and hot tub were a great way to end the evenings. Overall I would highly recommend this property. I would book again!
Perfect house for a group of 4 couples. Everyone had a comfortable room and private bathroom. The location was very close to downtown Gatlinburg. We were able to walk to town and avoided the traffic. Everyone loved it.
What a wonderful place to spend Christmas! This home is beautiful and so spacious. Perfect for a large group. Aunt Bug's is great and responds quickly. The decorations were gorgeous. Being able to walk to town was a great feature!
