The cabin was very nice. The only issue i had was the description on the 3 bedroom cabin was alittle decieving by the pictures posted in the ad. It shows three log beds and says bedroom 1 bedroom 2 and bedroom 3. 2 of the pictures are the same picture just differnt angles of the room. So it made it look like there was three bedrooms with 3 log beds when actually there are 2 bedrooms an a pull out bed in the theator room on the floor.

Beautiful place

We rented this cabin due to its location. We had a volleyball tournament at Rocky Top Sports and this was only 4 mins away! It’s such a nice place. We really enjoyed the hot tub. The property manager was so helpful and did everything needed to make our trip enjoyable. We would def stay again in the future.

Cozy bungalow

The cabin is clean and cozy and offers many amenities to help make your stay comfortable. I liked that things were clearly labeled, and instructions were available for the fireplace and hot tub. My family and I had a wonderful time in Gatlinburg and this cabin helped to make that possible. I can't wait to go back.

The cabin was clean and the location was perfect for our trip. I’ve never had better communication with an owner, and we travel out of state 8-12 times/year. Check in and out process was easy. We hope to stay here again.

Disappointed

Less than 24 hours before our departure at origin we were required to submit names and ages of all individuals staying on the property and I had to submit an ID all while the reservation was made about 8 weeks in advance. The place was somewhat difficult to find. It could use a much better description to the actual location. When we first entered the unit it was mediocre clean at best and several things were broken. There was a note advising us that it is a violation to feed the bears, but on a different note we were instructed to dump grease and oil "behind the propane tank"......

Great location and great communication

We had a great time and enjoyed the cabin. The hosts were very accommodating and their communication was great! The bed downstairs is best for kids or young adults, not for adults. The movie room area was very nice! Hot tub was very nice and hot. We had a great time!

Everything was perfect! Perfect location from downtown Gatlinburg, very clean and communication was great! The only thing we encountered was we thought it had a gas grill not a charcoal grill so we had to run out and get charcoal but not a huge deal! Highly recommend! :)

Top of our list

We visit Gatlinburg once or twice a year. We try to use different cabins just to get different things, locations, views, ect. But after booking this one we might have found one to use all the time. It is large with large rooms. We only had 4 but could easily handle 6 adults. Taking the back roads to Pigeon Ford was about 20 minutes and only took 8 minutes to get to the strip in Gatlinburg.

Wonderful service and stay!

We had the most fun. We usually stay in Tennessee in a condo but this year we decided why not give a cabin a shot? And boy did we pick a great one to be our first! Being in our own area was really comforting. It was really a home away from home. 10/10! When it came to our questions, Justin was quick and informative. And all around nice! Definitely recommend!!

Everything you need and then some

From the moment we walked in the door, we were excited and happy to be there. We traveled from Michigan with my 3 month old granddaughter, and the amenities provided were adequate for our stay. There was plenty to do to keep us busy if we weren’t out enjoying Gatlinburg or pigeon Forge. The only thing I was sorry about was not including a full day to just enjoy the cabin itself. We were able to cook our meals, enjoy the hot tub, do our laundry and adequately take care of the baby while doing all our activities. Justin was very quick to reply to all messages and I will go thru him for any future trips. Thanks to Tennessee for the wonderful hospitality from us Michiganders!!

Poor response when major plumbing issue occurred

Signage is posted in cabin that infers plumbing issues so we followed all rules given. While washing clothes on our last day the downstairs toilet leaked from the bottom and raw sewage overflowed from the floor drain in the laundry room. Notified the emergency contact and requested a phone call After 1.5 hours of repeatedly requesting a phone call, emailed that we were packing to leave and expected a refund. Only then did I receive a phone call and was informed that they could not estimate when someone could come or it the repairs could be made that day but wanted permission to enter if we weren't there. I explained that this was not workable and since the cabin was uninhabitable, we were leaving. Afterwards, I received an email stating they would not refund for the unspent evening since they were not given the chance to fix the issue. I believe it is unreasonable for the management company to expect me to use the last day of our vacation waiting on their maintenance personnel without providing any time frame or back up plan should the issue not be resolvable that day.
