The property was a great place for the family to get together and the younger ones had fun playing with the nerf guns and the hot tub. Family friendly and lots of space
House has plenty of room for large family, close to all attractions and shopping. Place very comfortable, great hot tub and space for kids to hang out. Host very accommodating and quick to reply. Place could use a little tlc which looks like what they’re in middle of doing. Would highly recommend had a great stay!
The place is great for large families. The kids had a ball. There was plenty to entertain them. It would have been nice to have an outdoor area for the children.
This property was the perfect place to enjoy a large family trip. There was enough room for all of us and the kids loved the nurf guns and games available to play.
We booked this cabin for a family weekend getaway. There were plenty of room for our party of 13. It was very conveniently located to everything Pigeon Forge has to offer. Would definitely stay again.
Great location for Dollywood and downtown pigeon Forge. Had a great time with family and friends there. Very accommodating. The driveway is a bit steep, especially when wet, but if you back up, it really helps. Great stay!
The property was great. Met all expectations for our family vacation with a group of 16. The rooms and layout were as pictured, the location was great, very short drive to downtown Pigeon Forge and right by Dollywood. It is right in the mountains, so definitely need to use caution for bears. We had a visit by a bear in the driveway within our first hour, so keep watch on the kiddos, especially if going to extra room, which is accessed from separate, outside entrance.
We celebrated granddaughter’s 8th birthday at Dollywood. The lodge was perfect for our family of 14. Ages 4 to 86. Host was great to respond quickly to any questions. We had a great time!!!!
