We had 9 people in our group and fit very comfortably in the cabin! Lots of activities to do and space to sleep! The host was amazing at communicating and checking in on us before and during our stay!
Plenty of space for our whole family. 8 adults and 3 kids! Location is great close to both pigeon forge and gatlinburgs main strip. Lost do to at the cabin if there is a rainy day.
The management of the property is amazing! They were very quick to communicate before, during and after our trip. Our family of 6 had a blast at the cabin as there was lots to keep the kids busy from hot tubs to games and even a cute and comfy movie area. It was also in a convenient location so getting out was also easy and Ober mountain was just a short drive up the mountain. We highly recommend this property!
We had a fantastic stay at this charming chalet in Gatlinburg. Our family, coming from Missouri and Virginia, found it to be the ideal spot for a much-needed reunion. The chalet was clean, well-stocked, and comfortably accommodated all us. The location was perfect – secluded enough to offer peace and tranquility, yet close enough to Gatlinburg’s attractions and the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciated their attention to detail and warm hospitality. We would highly recommend this chalet to anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic, and enjoyable getaway. Our family made wonderful memories here and we can't wait to return!
Wonderful Smokey Mountain getaway! Great location to Gatlinburg and the national park. Plenty of room for 14 and 2 dogs. Easy to park a passenger van. Host communicate quickly!
It was a very nice experience and have a wonderful time, from the clean and cozy cabin lots of room for entertainment and a warm hotbtube with a fire pit great for roasting marshmallows with an option of a gas or charcoal grill , also the sitings of bears from male bear to momma bear with her cute cubs, it was a peaceful experience visiting the moutains definitely will come back again
Cabin was exactly as described and the owners were wonderful. Very responsive communication and the check in/out process was seamless. Highly recommend!
My boys and I loved the amenities and location of the house (highly recommend AWD or 4WD). I was thrilled to be able to have our dog with us. The owner has added a theater area which was a great addition. The owner was very communicative and check-in/check-out was a breeze. Overall, I would gladly stay at this cabin again and highly recommend others to stay here as well.
14 of us adults stayed at this beautiful Gatlinburg stay and had truly the best time ever! It was equipped with everything we needed. We did have multiple bear sightings, which we loved, but if you’re not into that, don’t come peak bear season because you WILL be seeing bears!
Great overall experience. Location of cabin was great...close to Gatlinburg and Smokies. We were a party of 11. Cabin had plenty of space and amenities to keep different age groups entertained. Plenty of sleeping accommodations and bathrooms had all necessities. Kitchen was well stocked. The firepit and hot tub were highlights for our group. There were bears around the cabin and firepit but we followed bear safety tips and had no issues. Communication with host was very personalized and attentive. Would recommend, especially if looking for rustic feel.
We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is very roomy on the second and third level. Be advised you have to go up stairs to get to the main level. The cabin was clean and accurately described on the listing! The view going up to the cabin is spectacular!! Don’t really have a view at the cabin but it’s very peaceful! The host made sure that all the essentials were there! The only thing was the driveway! It is pretty steep but by the end of our trip, it didn’t faze any of us! Overall a great stay! We are missing it already! I highly recommend the Pirate dinner show if you have kids! We did it our last night out and it was the perfect ending to our trip!
This is a beautiful property nestled in the mountains. The views are gorgeous and the property is huge. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is carefully curated to meet the needs of all ages. The living rooms and bedrooms are very comfortable. They have Pac man, Pool Table, Ice Hockey set up for the kids to enjoy. It is a great touch. Wifi works well and the property is within minutes from Gatlinburg downtown. The host is wonderful. They communicate with you throughout the trip to make sure you're comfortable. Response times are amazing and they really care about your stay. When we come back to Gatlinburg, we would only stay here!
Our family stayed here to celebrate our dad's 80th birthday. We had plenty of room for the 8 of us and the kitchen had everything we needed.
There are 3 levels of stairs, so make sure everyone can manage them (our dad was fine!). The bathrooms could be updated, but were fine and clean.
THE BEARS! We were all excited to see bears each day on our stay. Make sure to keep your car locked and empty!
The property was wonderful and had room for the full family. There was even a extremely clean pack and play for my youngest. As others allude, the drive is rough the first time especially after driving all day but we got the hang of it and after doing it in the rain and fog we were experts.
The cabin is well stocked and clean. The only issue we had was it was a bit dusty and we had a couple of asthmatic kids. Turning off the heat and opening the windows to the fresh air helped so I am glad the weather improved. We had a great family Easter! Thank you!
It's am amazing house. Some much fun celebrating 2 birthdays and it was great especially the bear story and video we got lol. Don't take a load of stuff in at night and leave the doors open on your vehicle they get in and take your food luckily they didn't tear anything up. So much fun
