Why You'll Love Staying at Base Camp
Base Camp, a 3 bedroom Gatlinburg cabin conveniently located near downtown Gatlinburg, Ober Mountain, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, offers luxurious amenities while retaining rustic mountain charm, serving as your home base for exploring everything the Smoky Mountains has to offer!
Living Room
Base Camp is truly a show-stopper. Your first thought when you step inside will likely be, “Wow!” Honeyed-Oak planking abounds, from the flooring to the soaring cathedral ceiling. Luxurious leather seating is waiting to envelop you in comfort, in front of the 50” flat-screen TV and floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. There is a cozy study/work nook built-in for your convenience. An abundance of windows showcases the stunning views and lets in the clean mountain air. Take a deep breath and relax...this is your home away from home!
The second living space (yes, there are two!) is located on the lower level. It features a 42” flat-screen TV and a plush sectional, perfect for curling up on and having a movie marathon or reading a good book. This space has a second stone fireplace. Light it up and enjoy!
Kitchen
The fully appointed kitchen flows directly from the living room in this convenient open-layout concept. It features stainless steel appliances, a wine rack, and sprawling counters so that you have ample space when you create masterpiece meals for your family. You’ll experience nature even when you’re standing at the sink, as there is a window perfectly situated for your viewing pleasure. You might see a deer as you make breakfast! Lay out a coffee bar to get the entire family’s engine revving before each fun-filled day on vacation.
Dining
Dining here in Base Camp is an incredibly inviting experience...gather around the large farm-style table that seats up to six and partake in the views that surround you—with windows and through the deck doors. Open the doors and bathe in the forest sounds as you eat. Nothing stirs up an appetite quite like good ol’ mountain air!
Bedrooms
Base Camp features a romantic King Suite on the main level. Sleep in the large, comfy log bed with a rustic chandelier hanging overhead. Wake up refreshed and ready to hike or stroll outdoors. You’ll have the convenience of an en-suite bath, which features a vestibule sink, plenty of vanity space, and a large soaking tub.
On the lower level, you’ll find two queen suites, each with comfortable beds and a shared full bath with a vestibule sink, custom-tiled shower/bath, and plenty of space!
Each bedroom has windows that let in plenty of natural light. Gaze outside at the stars as you drift to sleep.
Game Room
Next to the second living room on the lower level, you’ll find a beautiful pool table just waiting for family pool tournaments. Turn on the TV, pop some popcorn, and have viewing parties as you compete for the title of family pool champion!
Outdoor Spaces
The outdoor spaces at Base Camp are to die for! You’ll have the choice of two levels of wonderful decks, tucked into rustling trees that provide privacy.
The upper deck includes two separate areas: An open area where you can enjoy viewing the starry night or observe mountain wildlife, or a covered space, just in case you’d like a little shade to enjoy your sweet tea or lemonade.
The downstairs deck is fully-covered, featuring additional seating and a rejuvenating, round hot tub. Inhale that mountain air as you soak your troubles away!
Whether you stay on-site in your cabin or explore the surrounding areas that the Smoky Mountains are famous for, you’re going to have the time of your life!
Other Amenities
In the warmer months, be sure to pack sunscreen, bathing suits, and pool toys because you’ll have access to the resort swimming pool, tennis court, and children’s playground.
With all the luxury that Base Camp has to offer, you might not ever want to leave the cabin. But if you do, you are within minutes of any convenience that Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg has to offer, from charming local eateries to grocery shopping, to entertainment.
All linens are provided, and there are a washer and dryer for your convenience.

This was a great cabin. It did lack WiFi which was not made clear. It also had minimal cooking material that were up to date but overall a great stay and had some visits from neighbors daily (bears) that were awesome to see. Overall would recommend this cabin.

Thank you for your review and we appreciate the feedback. We apologize for the miscommunication, but wifi is not listed as an amenity on our listing. We are delighted that you enjoyed Base Camp and we hope that you will stay with us again!
Everything was as stated on the listing, no complaints. It was close enough to the action in Gaitlinburg but also far enough away that at the end of the day we had absolute peace and quiet.

Thank you so much for your review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and we hope that you will come to stay with us again!
The beds need to be overhauled - very uncomfortable. The HVAC was not consistent between the first and second floors. The flatware needs to be replenished. The views were great.
As always, the Smoky Mountains did not disappoint us, however Base Camp did! My daughter woke up the morning after our first night's stay with bug bites on her arms and legs that were not there when she went to bed. We examined the bed sheets, mattress and box springs as well as dusting under the bed and found evidence of bed bugs (excrement & obvious exoskeleton remains of bed bugs). We notified the agency immediately and provided pictures of our findings. They said they would send a pest control service technician to inspec. We were later notified that they did not find anything and would not relocate us per our request. We stayed only because we had small children with no other options. Praying these pests do not come home with us!

Cabin needs serious upgrades
The location of this cabin was fantastic. However the cleanliness was terrible and I wouldn't say it had any amenities. You can tell this cabin hasn't been updated in a very long time. Broken fixtures, pool table was unusable, mattresses/beds downstairs need updated, there is no wifi in the cabin, laundry room is outside, downstairs in a moldy-smelling basement room. Very inconvenient. Bottom floor rooms always felt damp, pots/pans needed updated (mgmt did send new set), no pot holders, no backup toilet paper, garbage bags, paper towels, etc. , a lot of light bulbs inside/out burned out, a lot or large cobwebs outside all over the doors/windows, broken door handles, second floor deck railing held on by one wood screw (very unsafe) The list goes on and on. We've stayed in a lot of rentals and this was in the bottom 3 for sure. I don't recommend staying here until the rental company/owner do some serious upgrades to the property.

Not worth the price.
Where do I begin?
Hot water handle broken on sink in master bath
Jacuzzi jets in master bath were filthy and disgusting
huge tear in the felt on the pool table
Had to unscrew the bulbs in the ceiling fan in the master bedroom to run the fan at night.
Bar of soap left open on bathroom vanity
Most buttons on the hot tub didn't work
Ice maker disabled
Track light over bar would flicker all the time
Broken toilet seat in downstairs bath
NO water pressure
Railings on both decks were very old and not stable, however maintenance did come out and measure to install new ones.
The beds creaked horribly. Woke us up every time we turned in our sleep.
We let management know and they did offer to have someone come out but we weren't comfortable having people come in while we weren't there. As we were on vacation we didn't want to be stuck in the cabin for a whole day.
We did enjoy our time, Gatlinburg is always fun but we'll find lodging elsewhere in the future.

Thank you for your review. We do apologize for the inconvenience these issues caused your party. I am working on getting all these issues taken care of as soon as possible. Thank you for bringing these problems to our attention.
First the positives- the view was spectacular. We loved sitting on the deck, weather permitting, and gazing at the mountain. The kitchen and dining areas were perfect. The primary bedroom was also well equipped with a comfortable bed and a nice, walk-in shower. The living room afforded an amazing view with a very efficient fireplace. We loved the woodwork that wrapped the rooms. The wi-fi connection, overall, was good. Some of the features, however, were in need of attention. The coffee carafe was broken only for us to discover a spare under the sink at the end of our visit. I am not sure why housekeeping did not set it out. The kitchen was not equipped with potholders or a cookie sheet, but we were able to improvise. The mattresses downstairs should be updated. We also felt the downstairs was not as clean as it should have been. The pool table pockets were torn. The washer and dryer were in an unfinished basement that wasn't a good place to do laundry, but to be fair, there doesn't appear to be another place in the dwelling for these appliances. We paid a significant amount for the 4-night stay, and for the amount, these details should be addressed. With all that being said, we enjoyed our stay, and would give Basecamp 4.5 stars.

Over all stay was good did not like that the washer and dryer was located in the basement. You had to go outside to get to the door.

Nice but needs attention!
We thought we’d walked into upstairs from street, however you come in from downstairs, which made climbing the stairs an issue for my mother with hip/knee issues. Cabin was overall nice, however there were definitely issues that would make me not rent this one again. No Wi-fi was a huge issue! The pics showed a box & there was in one there but nope…didn’t work. All 3 beds were so loud and creaky…plan on waking the other one up if you move. Kitchen needs quite a few more essentials, such as utensils, pot holders, even just salt & pepper. Not much seating upstairs for 5 (not counting table chairs). We didn’t spend much time downstairs except to sleep….it’s much colder & a bit musty. Major temp difference in the 2 floors. Hot tub was great, the view was beautiful & location was perfect!
Had a great stay, absolutely beautiful views. Cabin could definitely be dusted and hardwood floors mopped. But overall it is a nice cabin. We did get to encounter a bear on lower level in back yard. Which made the stay awesome!

Overall our stay was good. The location was nice and the linens were clean, however the only thing I had to rate low was the actual cleanliness of the cabin as a whole. I’m not sure whoever they are using to clean did a thorough job.
Beautiful views! Nice layout and Comfy beds. Not as large as it looked online but perfect for our familyof four. The kitchen could use some oven mitts and hand towels. Also, make sure to bring a hair dryer!
It was good. We enjoyed the cabin and the beautiful view. The price was not bad especially for a last minute booking. The roads going to the cabin is very dangerous.
