This cabin was beyond outstanding. Our family loved our time there—it was the best outfitted rental I’ve ever had, and the setting was so beautiful, we could have spent all of our time in the balcony! We cannot wait to go back!
Close to everything, yet in a quiet and peaceful setting. House was clean and had everything we needed and more! Even got to see a pack of wild turkeys.
Great Accommodations! Cabin is very comfortable with all the amenities very close to all the major attractions. Host are wonderful to work with.

This property is so cozy. The cabin is wonderful to relax and really enjoy your time. The location is great. You’re in the mountain without having to drive too far out. Great place to stay.
Very beautiful house, very clean and have everything we needed for our family of 7. Very comfortable and excellent location.Hoste are very nice and welcoming. I recommend it %
The cabin was clean, well stocked and just met every need my family had. The drive up to the cabin is a small challenge so be ready for that. But why else did you come to the mountains for? Haha! Host was very kind to speak to and even let us know early that the cabin was ready to check in. Would definitely stay there again

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear the cabin met every need for your family and that you found it clean and well stocked.

We’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime. Safe travels until next time!
Easy check in and out. Completely stocked kitchen. We cooked our thanksgiving meal here with our adult children and had everything we needed. Loved the 2 seperate living areas. Location close enough to enjoy the activities of the area but far enough to still have the peace and quiet of the mountains. Host very friendly and responsive.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so happy to hear the cabin worked well for your Thanksgiving gathering and that the kitchen had everything you needed for a special family meal. It’s great to know you enjoyed the separate living areas and the balance of peaceful mountain quiet with nearby activities. We truly appreciate your kind words and would love to host you and your family again in the future!
We had a great time at the house. Check-in and Check-out was flawless. The house was very clean and well stocked. Our daughter loved the arcade cakes and the board games that came with the house. Very close to everything in downtown Pigeon Forge. Most locations are 6-7 minutes. Super dog friendly and we saw multiple deer here during our stay. If you have kids I recommend putting a gate up at the stairs to go to the game room, it’s very close to the main doorway and we had one close call with our daughter because she was not paying attention
Host were nice! house was nice and all pictures were real! only couple negatives! The driveway is hard to back out of for a full size pickup if there is another vehicle in driveway! living room is small and the couch and beds sit low to the ground and make it a little difficult to get up and down if your in your 60s! Need steps to get to fire pit outside as it’s steep drop! Kids loved the game room and bunkbeds! overall It was what i was looking for and id stay again!
