It was a good time.

Overall it was a nice cabin we did find quite a few things in drawers in different rooms of the house and one of the bedrooms which we had planned to be the kids room was not able to be gotten to from inside of the house but overall a very nice cabin and stay.

Best family vacation ever!

I will begin by saying the pictures of the cabin and view do not do it justice! What a beautiful cabin and breath taking views! The size was perfect for an extended stay with all the amenities of home. Location was equal distance from downtown Gatlingurg and Pigeon Forge

Highly recommend!

The pictures online do not do this place justice! My family and I have been coming to Gatlinburg for years, and we have never stayed in a place with such a beautiful view. We were also excited to see that it was already decorated for Christmas! The area is beautiful, and it’s just down the road from downtown Gatlinburg. We also saw a few bears multiple times throughout our trip (make sure to lock your cars!!). Absolutely cannot recommend this cabin enough, and my family is already planning our next trip!

We enjoyed the cabin. Our favorite part were the three decks with the most amazing view. The cabin was clean although the ceiling fans could use a dusting. Other than that, no complaints! Phil was great to communicate with and answered all our questions.

Great Stay and Amazing Views!

My family stayed in June of 2025. The cabin was fantastic. SO many games and activities for the kids. They were never bored and DID NOT want to leave. Lots of sleeping options. Hot tub was great. Movie room was awesome. Parking was easy and the cabin's location was really great. Short drives to heart of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Smokies. Three things to note though: 1. the downstairs arcarde room and movie rooms are not accessible from inside the main cabin area. You have to go outside and down some stairs to get there. Not a huge deal, but we didn't realize it until we got there. 2. there are bears in the area. In fact, I forgot to lock our vehicle one night, and the bears gladly opened every door and gave our car a thorough "inspection." I knew better and take he blame for it, but do be sure to lock your car doors. 3. The pictures DO NOT do the view justice. The views from the cabin were nothing short of spectacular (see picture). We spent a lot of time just sitting there looking at the mountains (I believe it is Mt. LeCounte) facing the rear of the cabin. Lastly, the owner, Phil, was very easy to reach and communicated really well. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay and I can't recommend it enough.

Great Experience

Our first family trip out of Florida.The house was overall okay but it looked like minimal cleaning was done between my family and the family before.Master bedroom shower stops up while bathing and so does the bathroom sink upstairs.I didn’t inform host about this because I saw previous reviews stating the same issue and thought it would be fixed before our stay so didn’t seem like it was worth mentioning.3 decks was nice for views.

Beautiful cabin in the mountains

The cabin looks exactly like the photos. The view is stunning, more beautiful than the pictures. We loved that the cabin was out of the chaos and crowded streets of Gatlinburg but was just a quick drive to get back to all the fun activities. The game room/movie theater, hot tub, and amazing deck views were the highlights of the cabin. The fireplace was also an added bonus. The cabin was clean but there was a cloth couch that has seen better days. It had some stains. Some of the cushions had slip covers, yet some did not. Also, both main beds (downstairs and upstairs bedrooms) had piling on the mattresses that you could feel through the sheets and the pillows were very thin, which made for a poor quality of sleep. Phil was very responsive. He answered all questions and addressed any problems right away. Side note: There is not a way to get to the game room and movie theater from inside the cabin. You have to go outside and down the stairs. It wasn’t terrible, just not ideal as my 3 and 6 year olds wanted to be down there often and I didn’t feel comfortable leaving them down there by themselves.
