Our family loved how close this was to the park entrance and also accessible to activities in Gatlinburg. Communication with host was great and everything we needed was provided. Very easy check-in and checkout process. Loved the bear themed rooms and comfortable beds. We saw lots of wildlife. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to the Smokies.

Thanks for your great review! Glad you had a great vacation!
This property was magical! The location was PERFECT, sandwiched right in between the national park and downtown strip. My friends and I saw bears right outside the gate two out of the four nights we were here, it made our whole trip! There were ample amenities, and the host left a very nice welcome basket for our arrival. We would love to stay again, couldn’t recommend enough :)!
