Great option for families
Loved our stay at Emma’s Rare Find. House was comfortably furnished w/ extra pillows and blankets. Beds were very comfortable. The house is in a very convenient location, very near Dollywood. Will definitely stay here again if coming with the whole family.
Nice upgrades, but needs to be maintained a little more. Spacing and wear in floor planks (could be dangerous for handicapped), Some of the cookware could be replaced, upgraded. Couple more kitchen linens and a potholder would be helpful.

We’ve flagged the flooring and cookware concerns to our team to assess and address. Your suggestions for additional kitchen linens are helpful and will be considered for future improvements. We’re always working to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for all guests. Thanks again for your feedback.
This home worked perfect for our family. Short drive to restaurants and the main strip. Had plenty of room for a family of 10 and the games were a hit with the younger members. Would definitely book again.
We celebrated our sister's 63rd Birthday and it was great!!! The house was spectacular and we had everything we needed!!

Great House
This is a nice house just a little problems but those issues was fix very fast. The host was very nice and they make sure everything is good with you doing your stay.
Overall stay was fine. It would have been nice if the drive way was lighted. It was very dark and there was a drop off to one side. Porch lights were also very dim, so it was hard to see at night. Back deck lights didn't work so it was hard to see the hot tub area or tables. We tried every switch possible. Overall, these were not deal breakers but would have been nice. Lastly, when we were packing up to go, someone was waiting for us to leave, care taker maybe, but made us feel rushed. The house was close proximity to everything which was nice.

Emma’s Great Find: perfect location for Pigeon Forge/Sevierville. Excellent location for Gatlinburg Golf Course & Dollywood. Fairly quick access to Wears Valley. Backroads to Gatlinburg are best to avoid traffic.Very clean & welcoming. Ramp entry for handicap renters. Comfy seating in living room & reading nook. Pool table, foosball, small air hockey, Wetbar w/small fridge in living/great room. Plenty seating in the dining area w/good sized kitchen. Party of 8; plenty of dishes, glasses, mugs, and cutlery. More cookware than many cabins I’ve previously rented. 3 king bedrooms all w/ensuite bathrooms. 2 upstairs: 1 w/tub/shower combo; 1 w/step in shower. King bedroom on 1st floor w/tub/shower combo. No handicap accessible. Other 1st floor bedroom has 6 twin beds. 2 sets twin bunks with trundle beds under bottom bunks. Not listed in description. Can’t get trundles out due to broken/missing knobs. Room is too small to use both. Bathroom has a step in shower w/a step up pedestal. No handicap accessible shower on 1st floor. One person in my group is wheelchair bound. Handicap accessible matters. I inquired several times; never got answered. All beds comfy except hard bunks.Poor lighting & hard to maintain temp on both floors due to Thermostat being upstairs. Nice large back deck: no view; w/couple tables, 1 is high top; gas grill needs new grates. Many chairs around gas fire pit. Hot tub was clean; New cover on order.Wonderful memories made playing pool and late night cards.

Thank you for staying with Beyond Expectations! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the location, spaciousness, amenities, and the games for making wonderful memories. We sincerely apologize for the accessibility challenges and the issues with the trundle beds, lighting, thermostat, and grill grates—these have been addressed with our maintenance team. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving for all guests, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
Host was very responsive before and after check in! Communication was excellent!4 bedrooms with their own bathrooms were fabulous for our family. Outdoor space is a nice fence in area. All the outdoor furniture needs to be replaced. Furniture is worn out and the ones that had cushions, the cushions were filthy. One of the Adirondack.chairs were missing an arm.Pictures in “brochure “ were obviously taken when furniture was new. Several of the flooring boards had gaps in them. Game room and living area were all together making watching TV impossible while others were playing games. Bunk bed mattresses were not comfortable Location was great!

Throughly enjoyed our stay!
I can not say enough nice things about this vacation rental! We rented the place for an annual girls trip that we do every year and even brought several of our children with us. It could not be more perfect! From location to every last detail thought of it was amazing! Plenty of extra blankets n pillows, dishes were plentiful the only thing I would add is mixing bowls. The hot tub and back porch area was nothing short of everything we needed. Thank you again for the rental we WILL be back soon!
The host were great to work with. We had an issue with the internet and the hot tub but they responded quickly and sent someone out to help. Check in was super easy. The cabin is set up perfect for a big family! We will definitely book again!
Host was great and very responsive to all questions in a very timely manner. Home was perfect for what we needed the large king beds in all the rooms with private bathrooms to 3 of the rooms accommodated our family great. The private fenced yard with the dog run was perfect as fenced yards are difficult to find.
Thank you for staying with Beyond Expectations! We’re so glad you enjoyed the space and had a great stay with us. We’d love to host you again anytime!
