Week long stay

Beautiful home & surroundings. The river was very relaxing and all the nature right out the front door. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location close to Dollywood & lots of activities. Extremely well kept house and very comfortable after long days out at the ballpark near by. Would definitely stay here again!

Awesome place to stay!

We really enjoyed the amazing cabin! It is beautifully decorated and had plenty of space for all 12 of us. The cabin was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. We loved having the river close by and front porch to watch the wildlife in the morning. Linda was so accommodating and was so amazing to work with. You won’t regret your stay!

Wonderful getaway

We stayed for 3 nights at Shambala with another family. 4 adults and 3 kids with plenty of room. We had a room for each pack and play. House was beyond clean, felt like we were staying at our own home. The beds and sheets were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the shuffle board and the fire pit the most. The Little Pigeon River was great for the kids and the peacefulness. We will come back! Beautiful home and great location to everything.

Beautiful place and well maintained

This home is just as gorgeous in person as it is in the pictures and very clean. There was plenty of space for our family of 9 adults and 3 kids. Close proximity to all attractions is a plus. The owners were so helpful and responded almost instantly to any questions. The best for us was the game room since we had a rainy couple of days. We had a pool and shuffleboard tournament with brackets and all. It was so great to have a space for fun and to be all together without having to go out. We had coffee on the front porch most mornings too. Highly recommend!!

Family Gathering/Celebration

We were very happy with this home. It is a beautiful home, nicely decorated and outfitted with everything you need and could want. There was plenty of space for gathering as well as providing some alone time. I especially enjoyed the front porch where I had my morning coffee. We all enjoyed the game room. The kitchen was better accessorized than any other rental I've stayed in. We found everything we needed. There was plenty of outside space and vehicle parking. We were able to setup a pickelball court. We enjoyed the firepit and our grandchildren enjoyed the river. It was very convenient to other attractions in the area and shopping. I highly recommend this house. Our hosts were very nice and easily accessible via our VRBO account e-mail. We were a group of 11.

We loved our stay at your beautiful cabin. Host was easy to communicate with. Cabin was clean and well stocked. We loved the bamboo sheets on the beds, so comfy! My grand children loved getting in the river across road, fishing and exploring. They also enjoyed the fire pit a couple of nights we were there. There is construction next door but didn’t bother us much at all. Look forward to staying again !

Absolutely gorgeous cabin and wonderfully stocked for a family! Only draw back (that would be temporary) was construction noise on cabin next door that was 30 feet away, and started at 8am on Saturday morning which wrecked coffee quiet time, nature, sleep. Best things - location is perfect, walkable, firepit on the river, game room/pool table for all ages, front porch sittin'!

Amazing family time

Our family together at the home was needed. My husband just passed away and it was and is very gard in me ,the kids and grandchildren. My husband had made me promise to take everyone to see the Christmas lights and spend time together and we did. The home was spacious and clean and the water in front was amazing and relaxing. We had a wonderful time making memories together I will never forget. The property owners were very nice and compassionate to me and I appreciate them very much. The location of the home is convenient and close to everything. The price was high but it was Thanksgiving week. Thank you for the memories.
