The pictures of the property does no justice. It's beautiful and so cozy. The location is prim, three minutes from the Gatlinburg welcoming center where you can park and catch the trolley all around town to all the attractions!!! Must try at least one coster while you're here lol. But the best part, there are miles and miles of hiking trails just a short drive away!!! Lastly the host was very helpful and responded to our questions quickly!!! 10 stars and we will be back

Overall very lovely stay. We enjoyed the hot tub on the balcony, the shower makes you feel like you’re in a cave, super cool! The cabin didn’t seem 100% ready for us before we got there, small things like some light bulbs being out which, 2/4 were fixed during our stay but according to past reviews they’ve been out a while. The blinds in the bedroom do not close properly which made us feel we didn’t have the most privacy but sierra was very nice and helpful for the most part. A few messages got missed but other than that, great communication.

Amazing place to stay. Trees need trimmed to appreciate the view but that is no fault to the property. Make sure you run the in house jacuzzi before getting in. The only negative(s) were: 1. The bed had a big dip in it. / probably needs replaced. 2. I would recommend that the cleaning crew run and clean the jacuzzi every other day because it was full of bugs. A HUGE Millipede or something with a huge body and many legs( I don’t care a huge bug) shot out and landed on me ….then more other bugs were just all in the water when I ran the jets. So I could not enjoy the one thing I was looking forward to. Other than that it is amazing.

Great place to stay! Clean and neat. It was easy to find and instructions were easy to follow. The shower is amazing!!!! The remotes for the bedroom and deck TV’s were missing but we were able to download an app to use. The alarm system was a bit temperamental but we were able to use it. Over all a great experience! Would recommend to others.
