Very clean home with all amenities provided. Close to downtown and has back roads available around to other areas. Restaurant for Breakfast just across the street and Ice cream shop just around the corner from your stay. Great Hosts that are willing to help your stay be the best ever. Will definitely return.

So glad you enjoyed your stay! Please come again anytime!
This was our 3rd or 4th time staying here. Itās conveniently located, clean, amenities are provided, plenty of games for the kids, and they hosts are easy to get a hold of if needed.
Our 3 generation stay was fantastic! The house was immaculate with not only everything we needed, accessory wise, to cook dinners and make lunches, but it also had little nuances that made it special, like doormat size rugs on the sides of the beds when you get out, so you don't slip on the hardwood floor. Nice touch for my old bones! Lol. Great location for Gatlinburg activities. We walked into town one of the days. Excellent value with exceptional features. We even saw a bear (up on the hill at another house) on our first night there. Would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Gatlinburg.

Thank you for amazing review. I myself love rugs by the beds! Please do return!
Incredible peaceful setting within walking distance to everything. Home was well furnished with everything we needed and even had a few extras like a snack basket. Our party of 5 had plenty of room and everyone enjoyed their stay. This will be our new go-to place to stay in Gatlinburg when we return!

We love this place! This was our third year of staying here and it is perfect every time. Clean rooms and kitchen is ready to go. The hosts are great and we always have a great time!
They always have everything you need, give you starter stuff and everything you need to cook with. Always clean and out together, even has couch blankets:) Always love staying here and its close to town, so easy walk downtown.
Very nice and clean home for our family. Fully equipped with everything you need as well as a starter supply of some basics. Great location, easy walk or trolley ride to downtown, and very close to GSMNP and attractions. Highly recommend and would stay here again.
The house was amazing! way beyond our expectations! We had plenty of space and the way it was stocked for us was wonderful! We will stay here from now on!
