Could have knocked down some cob webs in the cabin. There was quite a few. Otherwise was clean.Enjoyed the view!Host was wonderful. Communication easy. Answered questions promptly. The Beechlers 9/13/25 9/18/25. HAD A GREAT TIME !
We thought the property was all one level. Having two levels made it difficult for us. The property was hard to locate in the dark. The basic cleaning was good, but it needed additional cleaning such as cow webs on light fixtures.The view from the property was beautiful! The location was pretty close to town.Good supply of necessities. Communication with property owners was excellent.
This was a great place for my 3 grandsons to experience the Smoky Mountains for the first time! We were close to everything and yet “in the mountains” to sleep. The cabin was exactly what you want for a family. I highly recommend this spot!
We all enjoyed ourselves in this beautiful home with a beautiful view. The home is located far enough away from the crowds and it was perfect for us! Definitely recommend.
Our stay was great. The owners were great and quick to respond. Everything was clean, looked exactly like the pictures. The only thing you should know is that we couldn’t find a pizza place to deliver there. So if you want takeout, pickup before heading to cabin!
The cabin was perfect for my needs! The rooms were all large and had good views. We stayed a week and enjoyed spending time watching the clouds rise and move through the overlooking mountains and winding down in the hot tub. I also enjoyed the gas fireplace! The cabin is about a 15-20 minute drive to downtown Gatlinburg.
The property was very nice and with the exception of a few maintenance issues was overall very good. There are a few boards that need replacing on the entrance ramp and some on the steps, other than that very nice.
We loved our stay. The cabin was a nice, quaint space that worked well for my family. The views,outdoor space, and firepit were our favorite things about our stay. The propane firepit was a special touch to the porch. We loved the ease of use so much that we are buying one for our own home.
The communication was amazing. We reached out a few times during our stay and she responded very quickly. She was very helpful.
The house was very comfortable, we loved the deck and the hot tub!
We had a wonderful time. Have you checked the security camera? A bear was in our car! We accidentally left the car unlocked. There was no damage, but we we’re startled.
We met our adult boys in this wonderful cabin, to celebrate an early Christmas. The view was fabulous. We hoped for snow on one night, we didn’t get it at cabin but it did snow on the mountains which was beautiful. Nearest grocery was about 20 minutes so not far at all. We went into Gatlinburg a couple of days as well. Just a short drive beyond the grocery store. We also enjoyed the hot tub. Owner was quick to respond to emails and texts. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks for sharing your home!
Beautiful property with beautiful scenery. Very clean. Could have been stocked better. Could have used more bath towels and washcloths. Only had one kitchen towel and cloth. Had enough silverware and dishes for our group of 4, but a larger group may need more.
All in all it was a very nice rental property and I would recommend it.

Big no
The house was very dirty, bed sheets were nasty with hair on it, extremely minimum kitchen supplies, no gas grill, no gas in gas fire pit, we stayed for 4 nights and only two kitchen garbage bags were left for us. So, if you want to rent this house, make sure you bring everything and I mean everything from home.
The view was as beautiful as the pictures. The close proximity of the others houses made it very easy to hear everything happening at other houses while on the porch. Hot tub was clean. Great water pressure. Appreciate the ice maker. Living room furniture was very old and smelled bad. It was surprisingly warm during our trip and the upstairs was very warm due to the windows and the way the AC is.
Nice, clean, a bit of a challenge if you arrive at night
The property has a nice deck, large hot tub, comfortable beds and a relatively well stocked kitchen with more than enough seating. The owner called to check in, left a voice mail (which I didn't have time to return). She did reply quickly to a text later in the evening.
Living room could use more lamps and more outlets near each bed are needed (had 2 guests w/ cpap machines). The approaching road is very steep and has several switchbacks, could use more directional signs and lights on outside of house for after-dark arrivals. They did provide wifi but I was never able to connect - - could have been me. Overall a nice stay.

Price needs to be lowered or updates need to be made
The cabin is extremely outdated. The floors inside the cabin are filthy. My white socks are filthy from the floors and there’s a foul odor upstairs. The dishes were not clean and still wet, as if someone had just rinsed them off and put them back in the cabinet without drying. The hot tub half works, meaning two of the jets do not work. There is no gas grill as advertised in the picture, so they need to update those. The prices need to be lowered on this property, or there needs to be money put back into it for quality to match price. This is a lesson learned for my family.
The cabin was great. It looks and feels like a cabin in the woods. Everything you could need is provided. There are 2 bedrooms with a shared bathroom upstairs (both have king beds) and a bedroom downstairs with a queen bed and bathroom for the whole first floor. The laundry is located in this bedroom (in a closet).
The view from the deck is nice but is slowly being blocked by the growing trees. However, the view from the primary bedroom upstairs was phenomenal!
The kitchen had everything you needed to make yourself meals. The cabin has a small penned-in area to allow your dog off-leash time outdoors which I thought was a nice touch. My only negative with this cabin is the upper windows in the bedrooms upstairs, they have no shades or curtains, so in the summertime (since it is located in the far west of the time zone) the morning light will come streaming in waking you very early (one night the full moon was streaming in on my face and woke me up). If morning light doesn't affect your sleeping habits then this won't be an issue. Even with this, I would definitely come back and rent this cabin. We were pleased with it and even got to see a mama bear and her cubs on our way up in the car to the cabin!
