Reviewer Comments:
The home itself is beautiful and provided ample space for our group and up to I would say 6. However, it is important to note that this is not a secluded vacation cabin but rather a home situated in the middle of a town with limited nearby attractions. The closest grocery store, Walmart, is over 20 minutes away, and dining options require a trip to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, which is approximately 40 minutes away. Only one Orchard was open, and it was also limited on when it was open as well as inventory - but did have some of the best apple butter ever! (Kyle Carver)We traveled from Pigeon Forge and wanted to be away from the town and chose this location due to its proximity—about 8 minutes—from the national park entrance, as we planned to stay in to eat but enjoy outdoor activities. Unfortunately, the entrance was closed during our stay, requiring us to travel back to Gatlinburg to access the park. As a result, activities such as fishing, hiking, and rafting were not accessible from this location. The issue I have with this is upon booking, I had this conversation with the agent and was not aware we would not be able to access the activities we discussed. We also discussed the driveway as I make sure our vehicle is able to access whatever homes we rent, and you do not need a four-wheel drive to reach the home, but the driveway is steep.The inside of the home was clean and decorated super cute, the only issue I have was that dishes were put away dirty, so we had to wash a lot of dishes before using them.While the home itself was clean and comfortable, those looking for convenient access to outdoor activities or dining options may want to consider these factors when booking.
