Absolutely beautiful stay from start to finish. The home was spotless, pleasantly decorated, and even better than the photos. The location was perfect — peaceful, convenient, and close to everything we wanted to do. About 8 min to downtown and 8 min to national park entrance, then about 15 min to Pigeon Forge attractions. The beds were very very comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked, and every detail made the place feel welcoming.The host was outstanding: responsive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Check-in was seamless, and communication was excellent throughout the trip.We especially loved the outdoor space and how relaxing the entire property felt. We were able to enjoy the pickleball course and pool —great clubhouse facilities. There is also a nice hike along a creek only minutes away. It truly felt like a stress free vacation. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. Five stars all around!

Everything stood out for us. The directions to get there were very easy. The view was exactly what we thought it would be and the sunrise was out of this world. Beautiful memories in a beautiful place Had to use the bear blow horn one time…they were everywhere and the horn really works. We had to be aware they were there. Beautiful animals indeed
