The best location

This location was phenomenal, it provided an outstanding view while still being close to downtown. The property had everything we needed to recover from long days of hiking or a night in downtown Gatlinburg. Checking in was easy, and communication was great. I would absolutely stay here again!

Great Anniversary Trip

We loved this location. It was close enough to the city but far enough away to enjoy nature. Every morning my husband and I would sit on the porch drinking coffee and enjoying the wonderful view. Loved the book they have were you can read previous renters experiences and suggestions. We already plan on booking again.

Absolutely beautiful. My 2nd time here. Got to see 3 bears! One being on the porch trying to steal the BBQ tongs. The cabin is well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. It was nice having a washer and dryer. Hottub was so relaxing. Close to everything but far away from everyone. Great restaurants. Recommend the Blue Moose for a burger!! Bennetts for BBQ! There was construction going on at a few cabins. So if that is something that would bother you I would ask about it before booking. I cant say enough about our stay and we cant wait to come back. P.s. if you see trash pick it up !

Cozy cabin

The cabin is very comfortable and has everything you need.....linens,coffee pot, all kitchen supplies. The view is beautiful. The drive up the mountain is challenging if you are not used to tight bends and inclines. I had a wonderful time.

Fabulous!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The communication was great, check-in very easy, cabin clean and welcoming. We loved the Hot Tub and used it every night after long hikes. Bob, was very quick to reply to emails, giving us great recommendations of the local area. We would definitely stay at Wa Tu Vu Cabin again, and highly recommend this location!

Didn’t want to leave

This cabin was amazing… very clean, and so charming. Peaceful and secluded. We didn’t want for a single thing. And the view! The hot tub ( with a view) was a tired hiker’s dream. Our first time in the Smokies and we felt so incredibly lucky to have found this cabin. Would recommend it to anyone. Hope to come back with family!

Great view

We just got back home from our stay at the cabin and we loved it. The cabin was perfect for our family of 4, it was close to downtown, the view was great especially in the morning and from the hot tub in the evening and Bob was great to work with. He reached out several weeks in advance with all the details and recommendations of places to eat in town. My wife and I already talked about returning in two years for our 25th Anniversary.

Cabin Life

This was our first time renting a cabin. We wanted the experience for our trip to Gatlinburg with our preteen grandson. This cabin did not disappoint. We did know what to expect but the owner Bob was absolutely amazing. Very professional very sincere. Very comfortable. The cabin was homey and warm. Everything labeled. Non was always available to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend this cabin and any property Bob and Carol have. A wonderful experience overall

About the host

Hosted by Bob Howard

Host profile image
Hello,
We are the Howards, welcome to our cabin Wa-Ta-Vu. We purchased it in July 2007. We have remodeled every room and have decorated it with pictures from local Gatlinburg artists. There are many old pictures of Gatlinburg taken in the 50's. We are constantly working on more changes to the cabin. We are do-it-yourself types and enjoy working on it. Thanks for visiting!! Bob & Carol, pictured with their daughter Sarah, son-in-law Joe, granddaughter Caroline.

Why they chose this property

Has a Fantastic View

What makes this property unique

The main things we enjoy at the cabin is the peace and solitude. The view is spectacular of Mount Leconte. In the winter with binoculars you can see the lodge on Mount Leconte. We also enjoy sitting in the hottub and just looking at the mountains.
