Thank you for being our guest again. What a blessing! Thank you also for being such wonderful guests and leaving Shambala in great condition. I thought of you all during your stay as you started your stay with snow, and ended with beautiful sunshine. Both are so neat to experience and I am glad you all got to experience it at Shambala. We hope to have you again! Have a fantastic coming week!

Cabin had the best location. Able to go back roads instead of packed roads. Cabin was fantastic. Had more than any other place I’ve stayed. Kitchen fully stocked and the place kept going on and on. Looks small from the front but it’s huge inside. Next time I’m bringing friends and would love to stay there again

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'!

Thank you for being our guests. I apologize for the inconvenience of the cabin being built next door and we regret we have no control on that issue. I know the owner and workers have in the past done their best to show respect to guests in the area with their noise levels. We have not had any issues in the past with this and I am sorry it was an inconvenience in making your stay a perfect one like we truly work so hard to achieve for our guests. We hope you will be our guests again in the future and ,despite this inconvenience ,we hope you left with great memories made from your stay at Shambala.

Bobby and Linda were excellent hosts, and were very helpful before and during our stay. Their home was very welcoming and clean, excellent for our multi family stay with many kids. The location was excellent, short distance to dinner shows, restaurants, attractions, and a short drive to the national park. Christmas is an excellent time to visit. Southern cuisine, Dollywood, and the trails in National Park, and the general hospitality were some of the highlights. The floor plan for the home was excellent offering both multi family together time as well as rest time. There is also space for children to hang out and adults to chat. The dining area was excellent in accommodating everyone. Kitchen is conducive to multi family cooking.

We had an amazing stay at Shambala! At first I was nervous—how could there be so many amazing reviews? I understand why now. The hosts are incredibly kind people. They went out of their way to make sure we were well cared for. The home was immaculate (and I’m kind of a neat freak!). Extremely well maintained—and decorated with care. This property has it all, amenities and location. Being right on the river (and just of the strip) was perfect! Don’t hesitate to book Shambala should you have the opportunity.

Thank you so much for such kind words! We take much pride in our property. We are local owners with a desire to keep Shambala in great condition. We LOVE the cabin ourselves and intend to take care of the blessing we have been given. Living local gives us an advantage of being able to make sure things are just like we want them for upcoming guests and to also be available if needed during their stay. We also have an extreme willingness to provide a perfect haven for guests where their time and money is worth it. Where great memories are made. In a town where there are plenty of rentals, it really warms my heart that people take notice of the little extras that can mean so much. Thank you for taking care of Shambala during your stay. The pleasure was ours having your family be our guests and we would be blessed to have you all return. Happy New Year! May the year continue to be full of blessings! -Linda

Thank you so much for being our guests. We take pride in the sheets we provide. We definitely go above on the quality most cabins provide on linens. We also take pride that the sheets are kept in house. They are washed, dried and put on the beds. Never taken out of the cabin, mixed with other cabin linen, never taken off and sit for days in bags and never cleaned in a laundry mat where cleaners sometimes cram too many in a washer. Fresh high quality linens is a big deal to me. I appreciated your comment on the linen. It makes all the extra time and effort worth it. Thank you all again for being our guest.
