Joyce was the perfect host. And her place is immaculate. The views did not disappoint. We walked in everything was beautifully decorated and not a spot of dust anywhere in the house. Everything she said that would be there was there plus more. She checked on us almost daily. There were no real issues with the house, but one of the TVs definitely not working up to par we did not complain. We just wanted to let her know she was ready to get a contractor to come change it that day. Amazing place, and the perfect host. If you’re thinking of going to Gatlinburg, you should definitely look into staying here.

Great place close to town

The house and views are beautiful. Very clean. Roads were easy. You are 5 minutes from town. She had a lot of stuff in the house that we had in our house so that was nice. Hot tub was great. Only thing I have to say a little negative is the beds, they are very firm but I am spoiled to my mattress. We were the only ones on our street. Overall experience was amazing.

Perfect Anniversary Getaway!

This property will not disappoint! Everything is exactly how it is described and the pictures, although beautiful, don’t do this property enough justice! We stayed for 3 nights and we wish we could have stayed longer. Joyce was a fabulous hostess and her communication surpassed all expectations. On our first night, there was a water outage (not her fault). She contacted me immediately and continued to keep us updated on the situation. The issue was soon resolved and we enjoyed the remainder of our stay. This place is gorgeous and has all of the creature comforts. I loved the hot tub each evening after spending the day out in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. We look forward to staying here again when I’m the area! Thanks for everything, Joyce!

Excellent!

This is an outstanding property in a beautiful neighborhood and at a great location! The view is absolutely breathtaking. The house is cozy and clean, with a variety of family friendly amenities. Our boys thoroughly enjoyed the game room. This was our first time staying here and only for two days busy with activities, mainly outside the property, so we did not get to enjoy the hot tub. We are definitely looking forward to return again! Our host, Joyce, provided very responsive communication and gave us a very thoughtful option for a later checkout due to a snowstorm on a previous day. However, we were impressed how quickly the city authorities took care of the roads even in frigid weather. Definitely another reason to love this location.

Stunning property in super convenient location

The pictures accurately describe how amazing this property is and the incredible view. You are just minutes from the park, downtown Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge. It is up a steep and winding hill, so if you get car sick easily, maybe not the place for you. The 3rd floor balcony was the best spot for watching the sunrise and sunset and a perfect spot at night with the firepit going to hang out. The house has everything you could need. We loved that it was already decorated for Christmas. You will not be disappointed if you book this property for your getaway.

Stunning View

Our family tries to come to the Smoky Mountains every year and this is by far the best cabin we’ve stayed in. The photos do not do the view justice. Watching the sunrise on the mountains was breathtaking and seeing the colors change as the light of the sun disappeared was just beautiful. The home had everything we needed, the beds were all very comfortable and the bathrooms were just beautiful. There were so many cozy spaces throughout the home. The kids enjoyed their space downstairs with the arcade games and pool table and the adults enjoyed the fire pit on the top balcony in the evenings. We even got to see a bear in the yard scratching itself on a tree which was so cool! The location of the home was perfect for us. It was close enough to everything yet you didn’t feel like you were a part of the hustle and bustle of the city. Joyce was wonderful at communicating with us and checking in to make sure everything was going well or to see if we needed anything. We will definitely be back again!

Great stay above the clouds.

Saturday to Wednesday stay and all but the last day we say bears at the cabin. No harm to the cars as long as you lock the doors and keep the food in the house. Now the view, first two days were sunny and lit up all the mountains right off any of the three decks. The last day was raining all day, but the clouds were below the cabin allowing peeks at the mountains as they came in and out of the clouds. Ohh, and the house was very nice if you decide to go in and not stay on the porch.

Beautiful views

The properrty is BEAUTIFUL! We did have a few issues, as in the washer smelled of absolute mold and made our clothes stink horribly after being washed, not enough towels. There were plenty of bears visiting the area and we wanted to see them, but the windows were so dirty it was hard to see out of them. But othwerwise it was a nice stay, clean fresh water, nice warm hot tub (had it turned down due to children and being pregnant) plenty of entertainment for our 5 and 10 year olds. Our bed was pretty comfortable for being firm, the other was spring-y and felt worn out. It kind of sucked that the foosball table was in a bedroom, and there wasnt enough room to play pool (we hit the walls several times, but a nice concept)

My extended family of 6 enjoyed a wonderful week here. Plenty of space for everyone. We appreciated the large dining table on the covered second floor deck, and the fire feature in the middle of the table. It was a great space to dine and enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains. The location was great, only a 10 minutes drive to Gatlinburg and the National Park. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Getaway

Overall the property is a nice place to vacation. The property was closer to others, more so than I anticipated. Some mornings were noisy, but understandably with the proximity of other homes. The views were beautiful and we enjoyed our coffee in the mornings on the deck. The property was clean for the most part, but it did need a deep clean especially in harder to reach places.
