About this property

5 mins from Gatilinburg, Hot Tub, Awesome Views!

Take in the sights, sounds, and smells of that fresh Smoky Mountain air in your spacious 4 Bedroom/4 Bathroom cabin retreat. Aptly named "Point of View", the hilltop overlooking The Great Smoky Mountains National Park!

This home is nestled in Mountain Shadows Resort - a cabin community boasting TWO in ground pools and well manicured grounds. The location is hard to beat, just minutes from all the attractions of Gatlinburg, but far enough from the strip to decompress and enjoy nature views. With a private hot tub and steam sauna this cabin was made for rest and relaxation!

When the relaxing day is done and you are ready for some fun, grab your friends and family for a game of pool (available Memorial Day to Labor Day only), a variety of board games, or one of our 60+ classics arcade games (Pac-Man, Galaga, 1984, etc.).

Settle in for the night with a delicious meal, prepared in your fully stocked kitchen, and gather around your dining table with a view.

All four bedrooms are outfitted with linens and pillows, ample lighting, clothing storage solutions, and luggage racks. The bathrooms include basic toiletries and towels.

BEDROOM CONFIGURATION:

Upper Level Bedroom 1: 1 King bed with en suite full bath and jacuzzi tub

Upper Level Bedroom 2: 1 King bed with en suite full bath and jacuzzi tub

Upper Level Bedroom 3: 1 King bed with en suite full bath

Lower Level Bedroom 4: 1 Queen Bunk Bed (2 Queens) with en suite full bath

See Floor Plan images in listing for more detail!

LOCATION:

Ideal spot within the gateway to the Smokies and impeccable views. Close to restaurants and action, but far enough to still be relaxing. This prime location offers so much to do. The strip is a short drive or easy trolley ride. The nearby restaurants Delauder's BBQ, The Greenbrier and The Alamo are some of the best in the area! A three day weekend can easily be filled by a day in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a nearby attraction like Ripley's Aquarium, Dollywood or more!

FEATURES:

4 Bedrooms / 4 Baths Linens and towels Private hot tub Private steam sauna Pool table, board games, and 60+ classics arcade games Indoor / Outdoor dining options Fully stocked kitchen Two Decks with views Access to resort pools, small playground, grills, and pavilion Short drive to excursions and attractions

Fun Fact - A portion of our proceeds go to the Friends of the Smokies, a Non-Profit organization to do our part in keeping this area beautiful. Our rental supports a few local jobs, cleaners, handyman, and all the trades :) Thank you for the support!

Great Views

This property provided some great views while also being a short drive to downtown Gatlinburg. We had some issues with the water pressure during our stay, and although it wasn’t able to be fixed during our time the host was very responsive to our issues. We throughly enjoyed the layout and cleanliness of this home during our time, it was just as expected.

Weekend Getaway

Great stay with my family. Beautiful house in a great location. Close enough for a quick drive to attractions but far enough to miss the hustle and bustle of tourism. We loved cooking daily and grilling out with a great view. Quiet neighborhood and we even had some guests during our stay. For some it may be scary to have bears so close, but for my family and I it was one of our highlights. Our host was responsive the entire weekend and really made sure we had no worries. I highly recommend a stay here!

There were many issues encountered during our stay, making it very unsatisfactory. The tea kettle is fully broken and unusable, spider webs everywhere, doors to the balconies require a lot of effort to open, when using the upstairs shower the water drips through to the downstairs bathroom ceiling, several places reeked of mildew, the floor was constantly sticky, bed sheets were dirty with bugs on them, blanket was stained, light fixtures had dead bugs in them, half of the time there were bears on the balconies because they tipped the trash cans over and it was very dangerous because we had little kids with us. Many if not all of these issues should have been taken care before our stay not only the bear issue when most of our stay was over. We had reached out to the owners multiple times and and rarely got a response if any. No one came by to clean, and by our 3rd email about the bear issue did we get someone to come by.

Thanks for considering our home for your travels! A little bit about me... My husband and I were born and raised in Ohio, and have lived in Brooklyn, NY for the past 5 years with our two children. I stay at home with the kiddos, but during school hours you can find me planning our next adventure, or volunteering around the neighborhood. Steve always says I never met a committee I didn’t like!

We love doing lots of different things as a family, but traveling, particularly in the outdoors, is what really gets us excited. We have a lifetime goal of visiting all the US National Parks. The 2020 list includes:
-Cuyahoga Valley NP
-Wind Cave NP
-Badlands NP
-Mesa Verde NP
-Great Sand Dunes NP
-Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP
-Rocky Mountain NP

We hope you will choose our home for your stay, but regardless, have a great time during your travels and enjoy spending time with the ones you love!
