Beautiful property exactly as described. Everything was very clean and well taken care of. All the rooms were spacious and the kids had a blast in the pool, with the game area, and the cinema room. So much for them to do! Erik’s communication was above and beyond. Very easy check in and check out. Location was great for getting to Pigeon Forge and anything else we needed, but still able to enjoy the mountains. Would absolutely book again.
