Amazing location

Perfect spot for getting into town quickly or getting on the bypass to the park. Small note, but driveway / parking area is tight, so extra large or multiple vehicles may be difficult.

Great place, great location

We came up to the Smokies with my family recently and enjoyed our stay here. My kids really loved the arcade system upstairs (OK, I did too). The place was in a good location, close to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Overall, we had a great time!

We enjoyed this cabin. The brook next to had relaxing melodies, the kids and dog enjoyed it also. The pictures of the area around the cabin on the listing needed to be updated on the listing as the vegetation has grown around it.

Trip to Tennessee

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin.Our highlight was that momma bear with her two cubs walked down the driveway and inspected our car and then crossed the water, since there was no food found.We'll keep it in mind for a next trip!

The cabin was beautiful, well maintained, and clean. We did need to wash the dishware before use as those didn't appear very clean. The pool that was advertised with the listing was not as close as we thought it would be (had to drive up the road/mountain to get to it) and because of this we didnt utilize the pool.There was one night where we had a decent amount of rain and what my family and I think occurred is the overflow of the septic and the area smelled terrible. It only lasted that one day.
