Mountain Getaway

The cabin was in the middle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, which was the perfect location to either place. We saw a bear on the Anakeesta Sky Lift.

Favorite cabin!

Third time staying in this particular cabin. First time with Amanda as our host. We love the location between Gatlinburg and PF. The cabin itself is clean and has everything you need. My 10 yr old loves the hot tub and arcade game. Amanda responded quickly when we had a question. Would 100% stay a fourth time in this cabin!!!!

Wonderful Getaway

We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this cabin. Everything was clean, in working order and comfortable. Perfect location between both cities which we enjoyed. Only thing I would note for future visits is to bring your own bath towels and double check internet username and password. (Listed wrong on VRBO). Looking forward to coming again with our family to enjoy!

Cozy Chalet in the perfect location

This was a last minute trip with my Husband and Dog for his bday and our dog’s best last weekend as he’s dying from cancer. It was perfect. The location is beyond ideal for Gatlinburg, and the hot tub was so well kept and clean. I also really loved the double shower head in the master and the multicade with donkey Kong and Pac-Man!

Great location

The property is located in a good place. We were about 7 minutes from downtown and right behind the welcome center. The cabin was nice. It could have been a little cleaner and we found a few things that were broken (kitchen chair, jacuzzi filter, arcade machine). Our son was sad the arcade machine did not seem to work. We could not figure out how to work the fireplace in the living room either. The pots and pans could also be replaced as most are warped and have a lot of burnt material on it that make it hard to cook. The layout was a little awkward as you have to walk through the main bathroom to get to the master. So if someone is using the bathroom, you can't get to the bedroom. The placement of the living room TV made it a little uncomfortable to watch the TV while relaxing in the evenings. Overall though, the stay was relaxing and it was nice having 2 king size beds. We loved the location of the cabin and the fact that it wasn't on one of the more difficult roads to drive at night.

Host was very responsive. Cabin is outdated but cozy. Cabin needs house numbers to help identify location. The pool was closed due to storms that had hit earlier that week so we didn’t get to use it. The hot tub had dirt on the inside. Beds were super comfortable.
