Nice cabin!

Nice alternative from the busier locations. Living room is nicer in person. Nice direct routes via gps to gaitlinburg or to pigeon forge. Roads can be windy but that’s to be expected. Great location if you plan on rafting the pigeon river.

New home comfortable. Very nice for the price. Would definitely stay here again.

The home is new. Several being built in this little “subdivision”. It was comfortable. Inside was clean, however the hot tub bottom was covered in dirt. I’m sure that is not the norm though. For the price, this is a no brainer. I would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay. Great location to be-far away from the commercial side but close to restaurants and stores. Cabin could use a few more home touches like throw rugs and better mats in bathroom, but thats just personal opinion. Cabin was nice and cozy. Hot tub was nice and well maintained. The only complaint we had was the water had a strong sulfur smell thar didnt go away- but would still highly recommend! :)

Nice cabin

We had a great stay at The Happy Hideout. The photos are not updated, there are two cabins across the street now; however, the view from the front porch between the two new cabins is still wonderful. The cabin is very clean, you wouldn't know this is a pet friendly cabin from the fresh smell and clean furniture. The location is great, secluded and quiet from the hustle but close to a Dollar General where we were able to grab just about any food item we forgot. We used one of our complimentary tickets through the affiliated program for Wonderworks in Pigeon Forge about 40 min away and it was our favorite attraction for our family with 2 kids under 10. The arcade games were a hit with our sons and the hot tub and fire pit were enjoyed by the whole family. We also had no obstructions near by to star gaze. We would return to this rental again if we chose this destination again.

Quiet, beautiful views

Aside from the water smell, we had a great time here. Friendly neighbors (and neighbor puppies, lol), and plenty of outdoor space for games, bonfires, and just hanging out. Good communication from host, and great location to get to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg without all the madness of staying there. Thanks for sharing ur home.

Spring Break

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The house was very nice, clean, and had everything we needed. Yes, there is a huge yard but honestly unusable. The grass/weeds was way over grown as well as the fenced area for a dog which we did bring. In addition, a neighboring resident has dogs that roam free and would approach and bark at us everytime I took my dog out.

Absolutely fell in love with the place soon as I opened the door. Quiet, peaceful and the mountain view from the front was perfect. Place was clean and simple, everything you could need was there. Communication was great. It was like a second home to me, told the wife I could retire here. I hope they have these for rent next year, because I will be coming back to these

Little Piece of Paradise

The house was very clean and exactly as represented. AC is COLD and refreshing. We stayed here because it was close to Raft Outdoor Adventures in Hartford. Nice and close to Walmart and Dollar General Market. Janice’s diner was delicious! Easy drive to Gatlinburg. Will 100% stay again if we return.

Good property

Cute home, quiet area with great views! You are about 40 mins out of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge and have to drive on multiple gravel roads, not a lot close by, so be prepared. Small hot tub but perfect for 3 adults/2 adults and 2 kids. Like the ease of check in/check out. Added bonus was the Explorie tickets.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin had all essentials. The downstairs bedbroom had a comfortable mattress. All of the pillows were flat and worn out. The upstairs mattress is extremely hard. There are no drawers to put clothes in, but overall the cabin was nice and cozy. The hot tub was warm and relaxing. The outside space was just right for my small dogs. The front porch light is very dim. Window sills and underbed was dirty. And the cutting board in the cabinets had crumbs on them. The cabin is perfect for couples or a small family. The pictures need to be updated. The outside bench no longer have a covering over it.

Holiday Getaway

I loved playing Pac-Man! The property was large, and we enjoyed walking around. Like us, Everyone around us had a pet(s) which surprised us. And, we enjoyed the bonus of being able to get a free ticket to Dollywood. I didn’t cook, but the place is completely loaded with whatever you need. It’s not too far from Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, so the location worked out for us since we drove to both places.
