The host was excellent! He was very responsive, quickly addressing every question. The Vrbo ad says “5 minute walk to the Parkway” in Gatlinburg. No, it’s 0.6 miles to the Parkway, about a 12-15 minute walk. The location is good, though, with the Parkway (downtown strip) fairly close in one direction and the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail in the opposite direction. The cabin is quaint and historic, though that does mean the bathrooms and the kitchen are on the small size.

Memorial Day Getaway

This was the perfect location for a Memorial Day weekend getaway with my children. It was an easy walk from the cabin to the Parkway - much better than getting caught in traffic and fighting for a parking spot. The drive to Dollywood was about 20 minutes and the drive to the Smoky Mountain National Park visitor center was 10-15 minutes.The cabin was cozy and comfortable, and easily accomodated my family of 4, with beds to spare! The kitchen area is small, but well appointed and had everything we needed. We did have the chance to see the neighborhood bear a few times as well :).We would definitely stay here again!

Walking distance to town

Our family had a great stay in the cabin. It is a little quirky in its set up but we like staying at unique properties. It was nice to be able to walk into town. Gatlinburg can be very busy so it was nice to avoid looking for parking.

We stayed here for a girls’ trip including 6 adults with three children under 4. The beds/bedrooms worked great for this. Just a short walk to the downtown area made it very convenient. Owner was very quick in responding to messages.

Had a great time with family. Gatlinburg was wonderful grandkids had a lot of fun with each other. The house is cute, pictures a bit miss leading, but it worked for us. Did not like everyone downstairs from me but it worked for the week. Outside stairs need a light at the bottom for safety. The only complaint I would have is NO place to have morning coffee, I had to sit inside, there was no place to sit outside in the morning or anytime. There were rockers downstairs full of cobwebs and bugs, but nothing upstairs for me to sit. The home is clean comfortable beds, small kitchen, crazy parking, close to town if you are in shape and able. I never did find the dishwasher LOL!!

Perfect Location

This cabin was perfect for our family weekend getaway. We didn’t have to get back into the car until we left for home. Everything was walking distance or the trolley was a great option to get around town. The cabin was clean and the beds are very comfortable. We will definitely remember this cabin for future trips here.

It worked perfectly for our needs. Location is very convenient walk to the strip. Zach was always attentive and answered questions promptly. Interesting to find out it was one of the few in the area that did not burn down in 2016.

March rental

First time in TN and this place was perfect to fit our group. The heat had a little issues but didnt hurt the overall quality of the rental. We were able to cook, work from the rental (good internet) and have a great first time in TN close to all our tournament events. The porch view is amazing and we had a great time with more than 1 family in it. Super relaxing cabin.

History and charm

Small, but charming and cozy. Perfect set up for those traveling with a multi family group or young adults who need independent spaces. Our adult children were able to come and go from the bottom floor without disturbing their younger siblings upstairs. This allowed everyone to set their own schedules and enjoy different activities but still be together for family time when we wanted. Parking was a little difficult for three vehicles, but not impossible. We could walk to the parkway or there is a trolley stop a block away to visit Pigeon Forge or the Glades. We saw several bears at night lurking around, but the walk ways were well lit and trash was at the end of the driveway so they kept a distance.

Cozy Cabin

The propery overall is nice. It is in a great location near town, with only a short walk to the main shopping area. The beds were comfortable and the host was very responsive and attentive to our needs. Small issue with the HVAC unit, but it was quickly resolved. The unit is cozy and easily sleeps 8, but a little bit more seating in the house and out on the porch would have been nice for larger groups. But i understand the space won’t allow for it. Overall nice cabin with a great location.

Cozy, clean & quiet

Quiet area, yet close to the parkway. It's on a hill but, we're walkers - you can drive & park at the bottom if you're not. Plenty of parking at the cabin. It was very clean, kitchen stocked, plenty of towels, comfy beds, clean washer & dryer with laundry supplies. Two floors- additional mini fridge & microwave on bottom floor. Bathroom on each floor - downstairs bath is quite small...but hey it's a cabin...upstairs bath is a bit roomier. Host was super nice, stayed in touch & made the whole process super easy. Would definitely recommend for your family.
