We really enjoyed our stay at the Golden Oaks. The house had plenty of room for my family and pets. The fenced yard was a great spot for the dogs to play. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We are so glad you enjoyed the cabin and the location. We would love to have you back. You were great guests!
Straight to the point: the reviews are absolutely accurate. This was one of the easiest and most stress-free experiences I’ve had. The owner was highly communicative, responsive, and genuinely friendly. The listing matched the property perfectly.My family spent a few days enjoying the spotless home, the great yard for our dog, and the well-equipped kitchen. Each morning, I relaxed on the covered porch with a cup of coffee, watching the sunrise. There’s also a community pond and pool—the pool wasn’t open during our stay, but it looked fantastic. I highly recommend choosing this property for your stay.

Thank you for the amazing review! We are so glad you enjoyed the cabin, the porch and the yard! We love providing stress free experiences! You should definitely come back for pool season. It is a great place to relax too!
We visit the area often and we've stayed in countless cabins but this is the first time I've ever left a review because I want everyone to know how amazing this little cabin is. It's absolutely perfect, simple but yet has everything we could've asked for. It checked every single box for our family. Beautiful, clean and far enough away from the busy strip. Just a short drive and you are in the heart of Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. The property is just gorgeous and my favorite part is the screened in porch. Owners are so very kind which is always a plus. We have already booked for August and planning to return again next March.

The host was very prompted answering messages and resolving any issues that arise. The house is beautiful nicely furnished nice amenities and we met the cleaning crew and they were so so kind. Sorry we had to leave early because of the storm.

Thank you for the great review and 5 stars Brian! We are so glad that you enjoyed the cabin and the location! We hope you come back and stay again in the future!
Our stay at this home was absolutely perfect for both us and our pups! The highlight was easily the fully fenced yard, which was secure and spacious enough for the dogs to run freely while we relaxed on the porch. It is so rare to find a rental where you can truly let your guard down knowing the yard is pet-safe.The home itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a week long getaway. If you are looking for a stress-free, dog-friendly retreat, I cannot recommend this place enough. Mathew was a great host as usual and we'll be returning again next year!!

Thank you so much for the great review. So glad you got to relax on the porch while the dogs got to play. We look forward to having you back next year.
This home was so clean and cozy. The yard was such a plus with our dog. We did not find any evidence of previous dogs either. We felt very at home. It is spread out well. The screened in porch was beautiful. I would suggest bringing some lysol wipes to clean up after yourself as we did not find any cleaning products, but this was no big deal. The neighborhood is quiet. It is a very calmimg atmosphere. The beds were very comfortable as well. Big bonus we had a mama and her yearlings visit us one night. Be sure to not leave food in your car and locl your doors! Also check the yard at night for wildlife before letting your dog out. Bring a flashlight! We will definitely be back. The hosts were so attentative! P.S. loved the Meyer's soap :)

Thank you for the amazing review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your time at the cabin. Glad you got good use out of the yard as well too! We are looking forward to having you back!
This place has it all! A hard-to-find, one-level home with an incredibly well-stocked kitchen, immaculate housekeeping, plentiful and comfortable furnishings, fenced-in yard, screened-in porch, etc. You can tell the owners take pride in this home. The area is super quiet and peaceful. The owners messaged us to make sure all was good and if we needed anything. Will definitely be back!

Why they chose this property
It's in a very peaceful setting yet close enough to all that the area has to offer no matter what you are looking for.
What makes this property unique
We love being so close to one of the back door entrances to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is convenient and less busy. Having such a peaceful setting with access to a great pool and fishing pond is wonderful. Also being a short drive from all that Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Townsend have to offer is very convenient.
