Beautiful Cabin Retreat

Our stay at Emotional Rescue was fantastic! The view and location cannot be beat. It was clean (especially for being allowed to bring pets!) and plenty big for 8 of us and two dogs. We saw bears several times and a snake!

Family Vacation

Overall the property was great! Few challenges: one and a half towels per guest (who wants to wash clothes on vacay), some of the paper supplies were low, the rules, while not many, were rigid. Maybe offer guests an option for additional fee??? View was FABULOUS! Beds were very comfortable.

Wonderful stay at a beautiful cabin

Our fall break get away for our family of 10 was absolutely wonderful. We had plenty of room, beds were comfortable and the cabin is well stocked. It is exactly as pictured, the view is stunning and it’s conveniently located to pretty much everything you’d want to experience. Communication with the host was quick and easy. You won’t be disappointed if you rent this cabin.

Emotional Rescue

Cabin was beautiful, views were stunning. Felt very private yet close to downtown Gatlinburg. Nice amenities such as pool table, video game and the hot tub was wonderful. It was plenty of room for our party of seven, including our doodle. It was a bit challenging to find level grassed area for our dog to use bathroom, but otherwise, it was very nice. Would stay again .

Need to relax?

Need to relax and rejuvenate? Then book this beautiful cabin. The views. The quiet. Great for families to come together. We enjoyed a cookout with extended family. Not far from the smoky mountains visitor center. We enjoyed visiting the smaller (artsy) businesses. The host was wonderful .... definitely a place to save and book in the future.

Better than expected

The view from this cabin is spectacular! The cabin is roomy and tastefully decorated. Relaxing on the large deck, enjoying the view with coffee/drinks in hand while conversing with family was a daily treat. The 4 large bedrooms each with a bathroom, provided comfort and privacy for our extended family. The location is great for all Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg activities. The owner is quick to respond to any needs. This was a great stay. Hope to return.

Emotional Rescue - most accurate name ever

Wonderful property in Black Bear Falls neighborhood. Fully stocked kitchen (blender was not working, but we managed) - everything else was in perfect condition and truly the kitchen was stocked with everything we could have needed. TONS of board games as well that we enjoyed. Fireplace in the living room on a timer was perfect on a chilly morning. All four rooms were spacious and beds & bedding were very comfortable for all of us, including the pull out sofa on the bottom floor. Whole home audio was a nice treat as well. The box fans in the closets were great for the member of our fam who had forgotten his at home (we all have one of those people who can't sleep without the fan!) Views of Mt. LeConte were breathtaking, and even in a closely built up neighborhood we really felt the solitude and peace of the mountains. Only ~10 minutes from the Gatlinburg strip, on the arts & crafts side. We originally booked the cabin with accessibility in mind for an 82 year old member of the family who decided not to come. If she had, it would have been excellent for her - one stair to entry, the bed was not too high for her to have gotten into, and everything she could have needed was within a few steps on the main level. We traveled with 5 adults, 4 children, and one dog and the cabin was absolutely perfect for our trip. Communication with owner was fast and efficient. Book this cabin NOW if you are considering it.

We were scammed. The property is very nice and clean. Black bear falls is a lovely resort as well.

The day we arrived we were happy with how the house looked and it was clean. We tried to turn on the main tv. It would not come on and gave an error message the there was some type of "external" problem. I emailed John, the owner, and he said he would have someone there the next day to fix it. The first repairman was unable to fix it. He commented that it has frequent problems and is too complicated for a rental. The second repairman showed up later, while we were gone, and got it to work reasonably well. It still gave the error message on occasion but eventually came on. We really weren't that worried about the tv as we weren't in the smokies to watch tv. At the end of our stay we followed all the guidelines for closing up the house and left it in perfect condition/exactly as when we arrived. The owner then withheld the cost of repairing his tv (which didn't work when we arrived) out of the additional damage deposit he requires (on top of the damage insurance that is required at the time of reservation)!!! I tried several times to call him and no answer. I emailed and texted. He then would only text me and then stopped that as well. In his text he accused us of getting into two locked owners closets and said "system parts were moved". When we arrived the locked closet in the kitchen was wide open. I glanced in and it was full of electrical stuff so just closed it and never opened it again. I don't even know where a second owners closet was...never saw one. And if it was locked, how would we have even gotten in it? Or why would we even want to?? We have rented through vrbo for over 10 years all over the world and never had any problem. Black Bear Falls is a beautiful resort and there are plenty of beautiful properties available for rent. I had a few others picked out that were equally as nice and should have gone with one of those. My recommendation...don't rent from this guy unless you want to be lied about and taken advantage of.

Outstanding!!!

This cabin is everything and more than we expected. It was fully equipped with everything one could possibly want or need. The cabin was clean, attractively decorated and was a perfect and comfortable home away from home. We enjoyed much time out on the back deck just taking in the gorgeous views. The owner was quick to respond back when we had a question. We are from Kansas and we fell in love with TN, partly because of where we stayed. We know for sure this won't be our last trip to Emotional Rescue. We can't recommend it enough!!!!
