Hot tub and outdoor view was perfect. We enjoyed the downstairs area that had a pool table, foosball table and large tv area. Fun games were available for us to play as a family. The indoor and outdoor dining tables were big enough for our family to dine.

Thank you for your review Ranadheer! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our property and its amazing views. We hope you had a fantastic stay and look forward to welcoming you back soon!
We really had a good week with our entire family, room for everyone. The location was great, we could be downtown in about 10 minutes. We had everything we needed as well as bear sightings every day.
This home has a great view from the balcony, the cabin was very clean, and all of the amenities met or exceeded my expectations. I would stay at this place again without hesitation.

We were two families of eight people which this big house easily accomodated and truly enjoyed our stay. The views are breathtaking, the house is well-equipped, and the Jacuzzi and game rooms are excellent extras. Just be aware that you are almost to the summit of the mountain, but the trip up there is well worth it once you see the views. We would love to return sometime.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Mahesh! We're thrilled to hear that you had an enjoyable stay at our spacious house. We'd love to have you back anytime you decide to return.
This property offers fantastic views of the mountains around Gatlinburg. We saw black bears every day. The property managers were courteous, helpful and very responsive. The property is just minutes away from downtown Gatlinburg and the GSMNP. The property was well-maintained, clean, and very comfortable. Highly recommended!
Very clean. Good setup for a family with young kids. Very nice view
Overall a very pleasurable experience. Can't explain enough how clean this place was. Other than some minor wear and tear from renters it was a beautiful and updated cabin.
Slight downside was how loud the floors were. Something to keep in mind for light sleepers.
Would consider renting again.

We truly enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is beautiful and comfortable. There are so many options for entertainment. They provide board games and cards. Poker and checkers. Just so many options. The view was spectacular! Hot tub was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Very clean property. Parking was amazing especially compared to other properties around. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Our group of 6 (4 adults, 2 teenagers) stayed at this cabin for Spring Break. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals, bedrooms were spacious, and the game room was a huge hit! We even used the outside deck to play cornhole with our personal boards that we brought. The property manager was very responsive when we reached out. We absolutely loved the view, it was unbeatable! Highly recommend. Big plus that the property was pet friendly so we could bring our miniature schnauzer along!!

Sarah, it was wonderful hosting you, and we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! We really appreciate your kind words regarding our property manager! We look forward to having you back next time, and thank you for your review!
The view from this place is spectacular. The accommodations were super...beds were all very comfortable. The decor is inviting. The bears were pretty active and we had a few sightings and encounters; they wondered off eventually. Access to the park is very good. Have room for at least 4 cars in the driveway. The drive up to the home is curvy and steep....but it is worth it for the view. Would recommend this place and would stay here again!!!

Thank you so much for the great review! You are all a pleasure to host. Please come stay with us anytime!
Spent a couple of nights for a ski weekend. Pictures of this house are accurate (a little "bubble lens" effect maybe as it's somewhat cozier than the photos make it look). Loved the hot tub, lots of games and things to do in the play room. No complaints whatsoever. Property is well kept up. About ten minutes from Ober Gatlinburg. View from the deck overlooks Gatlinburg, nice view. Recommend.

Thanks for your recommendation! It was wonderful hosting you, and we are glad you enjoyed your stay!
The cabin its self was great. It was clean and as pictured. It has plenty of games to play and space for everyone to spread out. We also really like the 3 king beds. The hot tub however was broken during our stay. They attempted to fix it two times but were unsuccessful. The hot water for showers last for about 4 showers at a time then has to reheat. Overall we had a great time.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Photos were not as it appeared in reality. Trash left in woods next to driveway, broken unusable appliances, unequipped kitchen for number of guests advertised. Uncomfortable beds and old furniture, broken blinds unable to lift for views. Broken lamps, inadequate lighting, rusted through bottom outdoor grille. No space for luggage in bedrooms. Very disappointed by the function of this space. Wide angle photos used for stages sales photos but no effort put into function of space. Leaking hot tub to deck below.

Again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon for a much improved stay.
This cabin has the most AMAZING views EVER!!! You have a perfect view of the mountains and downtown Gatlinburg! The only thing about this cabin is the road leading up to it, which that’s the price you pay for amazing views in the mountain. The roads were very scary the first few times but we got used to it. It was very clean upon arrival. Plenty of things to do in the cabin to keep your mind busy. We didn’t need to speak much with the host but when needed they respond pretty quick. Overall just a great cabin, we will keep coming back to this cabin from here on out!

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful review, Claudia! We are happy to hear that you had a great stay and got to enjoy the incredible views! We would love to have you back again!
We loved this house! The owner was very responsive. A lot of amenities to keep the family entertained. The view was absolutely gorgeous. The only thing is that the description says “sleeps 10” but it only has 4 beds. The other sleeping arrangements are mats to put on the floor. We had little ones so they were able to sleep on them just fine. Not a horrible thing, but something to keep in mind. We loved the Jacuzzi, especially the view. It was close Gatlinburg. Only about 10 min drive. Overall a great place to stay. I recommend it 100%!
