We had a lovely stay at Quails. The views are absolutely stunning, the location is excellent, and we loved spending time on the balcony. The welcome treats, hot tub towels, and games room were thoughtful touches that made our stay even more enjoyable.One thing to note is that the property is advertised as having its own pool, but the pool is located away from the property rather than on-site.Our biggest surprise was the bear activity. Within minutes of arriving, a black bear opened our car door and grabbed our baby's backpack. Thankfully, we managed to get it back, but it was quite a shock. We were excited to see a bear during our trip, but encountering one immediately after arrival was overwhelming, especially as we didn't know what to do until we read the welcome information.The property is pet-friendly, but because the bear was a regular visitor, we didn't feel comfortable letting our Shih Tzu use the outdoor space, and we also avoided spending time outside ourselves.We would recommend letting guests know about the frequent bear visits before they arrive so they know what to expect and can take appropriate precautions.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. It's a beautiful property with breathtaking views and great amenities, and with clearer communication about the local wildlife, it would have been an even better experience.

The number of rooms, beds, gameroom, etc were as advertised- roomy and appropriately appointed and very clean. All appliances, games, electronics, etc. were in good working order. While this is an older cabin, it is an awesome space perfect for an extended family weekend. There were many activities that we didn't take advantage of. Communication with the owner was excellent with no surprises.However, there are a few things that I would work on if I were the owner.1. Landscaping is overrun and needs one day of TLC to show off the home and lot better.2. Small things such as lampshades unsecured etc.

Why they chose this property

We originally bought this as a second home to which we retired. We loved the tranquil setting, the view of the smoking valley and the fact it is close to all the shopping, restaurants, amusement parks for grandchildren and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Although we now live across the county close to a daughter and our grandchildren, we invite you to enjoy this lovely log home while vacationing in the Smokies.

What makes this property unique

The cabin handles a large group well. There are spacious rooms - many directions to spread out from the great room to the large sunroom and back deck with HOT TUB, lots of parking, a two car carport to allow for dry unloading regardless of the weather, a level wooded lot, wildflowers that delight the eye, a great valley view and large kitchen with pantry and full sized laundry.
