Perfect family cabin

The host was so accommodating and hospitable. Our kids had the best time playing in the basement and the hot tub. The outside eating area was one of my favorite places. One of my favorite cabins I've stayed in.

Amazing stay!

My family and I stayed over Valentines Day weekend, and we were greeted with the chocolates and candy bars and the sweetest card. We did briefly lose power one day with the storms, but were able to be in constant communication and while we were out and power was restored, they remoted into the heat settings and turned it up for us. We would definitely stay here again!

Gatlinburg Tambourine

Our stay was amazing. The house was exactly like the photos. Showers were all built with rainfalls and the claw foot tub is heaven sent. Fun downstairs game room, our 12 year old loved it. Only a 4 minute drive to town. All around, great place to stay.

Perfect Cozy Chalet in Mountains

This was the perfect home for our family spring break vacation. Beds were cozy and the home had everything furnished which was very nice compared to other rentals we have stayed in. We enjoyed the lighted covered patio, hot tub and all of the games the home has to offer. This chalet was absolutely beautiful, well lighted and the owners were very very kind! We had 0 issues and would definitely stay here again!

Even Better In Person!

This cabin is even better in person! The design is impecable and feels like you've stepped into the show Madmen (in a good way). The kitchen, laundry and baths were well stocked with everything you will need. The robes and slippers are a luxurious touch. We loved the layout for two families. The screened patio was a lovely place to sit and have coffee in the morning and to sit and watch TV late night if you're a night owl after the early birds go to sleep. Because of the shape of the cabin (circular), sound travels throught the house but the basement and screened patio make it possible to have some space when needed. A few in our group tried out the giant tub and raved how lovely it was and the showers were fun - high tech and like flying a jet engine :) Glad everything was labeled! We didn't try the sauna but the hot tub was great and clean. The mattresses were on the firm side, if thats your preference. The location is super close to the main strip of Gatlinburg and a short drive to the bypass, so extremely conventient to most things in the area. Lori and Juan checked on us to let us know of bears in the area and were quick to answer a question here and there. They are excellent hosts and have thought of everything!

Great place for a small OR big group!

We loved our stay at The Tambourine! Lots of beautiful views, plenty of places to sit and talk, a nice kitchen, a game room in the basement, and even a nice hot tub! It's very close to downtown Gatlinburg, which was handy. Beds were nice & firm, plenty of towels for bathing, and even hot tub towels. The owners made sure our needs were met before we even asked! We sat on the deck each morning and watched the Ober ski lift go up and down the mountain. And every night, we sat in the hot tub and traded stories of our adventures. Smart TVs are everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE. We didn't have any issues, and would stay there again in a heartbeat if we needed a place in Gatlinburg.
