About this property
Escape to the Mountains! Private hottub, MTN views
Mountain view, lovely cabin, Sleeps 7 2bd/2ba w sofa bd. video game & area pools
Private 2bd/2bath cabin sleeping up to 7 people with mountain views with plenty of amenities to include multi-game video machine, hot tub, internet, smart TVs, etc. This unit NO LONGER offers a grill. Too many guests have fed the bears. When no one was there to feed the bears they destroyed 2 grills so far in 2025. Unfortunately feeding the bears makes them dependent and the park ends up euthanizing them. A fed bear is a dead bear. (grill amenity removed 9/12/25)
This beautiful cabin is a perfect getaway for family or friends. Sleeps 5 comfortably + a sleeper for up to 2 more: Master bedroom with Queen, second bedroom with twin over queen bunk bed that sleeps 3, and a sleeper sofa if needed in the living room.
We like to think of our properties as your home away from home. We even provide contacts that can bring in your groceries and supplies leaving you to focus on what clothes and what of our many, many activities you want to do.
Convenient to Smoky Mountain national part, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge (Dollywood). It is a short-day trip to Cherokee casino or Biltmore House.
We practice continuous improvement in both operations and are excited to work with this owner to identify and make improvements. We try to continually enhance the property.

Wonderful

Listing was as described. Beautiful views of the mountains. Easy to find with GPS. Short to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Definately could use a deep cleaning, we couldn't walk barefoot because your feet would be black. Bedding smelled of cigarettes. The water for the shower was lukewarm at best and I emailed regarding it and never received a response back.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 July 2026
I want to clarify a few points for future guests who may read this.
Water Temperature:
The lukewarm shower water was caused by a mechanical issue with the tub handle. The hot‑water stop had snapped, which allowed the handle to turn past the true maximum‑hot position. When rotated fully left, it actually moved into a range where cold water mixed back in, making the hottest setting appear lukewarm even though the home had full hot water available. I discovered this issue in late June and repaired it immediately.
Communication:
I never received any message from you during your stay regarding water temperature, cleaning concerns, or bedding odor. When guests notify me during their visit, I always respond promptly and address issues in real time.
Floors / Barefoot Discoloration:
We sweep and mop thoroughly after every checkout. The floors were clean. However, Bona and other wax‑based hardwood products can still discolor bare feet even when the surface is fully clean. This is a characteristic of the finish, not a cleanliness problem.
Bedding:
I respectfully disagree that the bedding smelled of cigarettes. Without any notification during your stay, I wasn’t able to inspect the linens with you or address the concern while you were on site.
I appreciate that this guest felt the property did not meet their personal expectations. However, I do feel that the 4‑star rating was beyond accurate and crossed into vindictive territory, especially given the lack of communication during the stay and the factual context provided above.
Thank you for staying with us — I’m really glad to hear you and your family enjoyed the cabin. It’s always great to know guests had a comfortable and enjoyable visit. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
The overall stay was very nice with a beautiful view I do recommend for a family getaway!

Patricia thank you for selecting us for your stay.
If you get a chance can you drop me an email (through the initial booking) and let me know what we need to do to get a 5-star review.
The cabin was just as advertised, cabin was very clean and comfortable. The host had the cabin already decorated with Christmas tree and in season decore. Beautiful place to stay.

Thanks for recognizing the extra effort in providing Christmas decorations.
:) Robbie, you are the first to comment on the text data. I just added an SMS feature to deliver some of the more timely messages to guests. Thanks for selecting us and we hope to host during your next visit.
The house fit our family perfectly! We enjoyed the veiw and the screened in porch. We saw bear at the cabin which was a highlight. Our children loved the house and going to the pool. Thank you for letting us stay at this cabin and make special memories!!

I appreciate you Shawn. We are thankful for your stay. Come back soon.
Property was perfect because of how quiet the area is. I was in the area for work and it was nice being able to relax there and enjoy the peace and quiet for a few days

i have a place in the city proper and its convenient to get to things but we prefer our places out in this area. Its calmer and more peaceful.
Condo was very clean and has amazing views! The only downside if you have you children is the spiral staircase going downstairs to the rooms and hot tub. We would definitely stay here again!

thanks for the review. For those reading its not a condo. Its a single family home or cabin.
We had a wonderful time with our girls!! We actually saw some momma bears and some cubs on the first day. The cabin was great and perfect for the family! We loved the deck and hubby loved the hot tub! The girls had a blast with the foosball table and the arcade games! Great family memories!

Thats awesome thanks for staying out our property.
For the price it was very well worth it. There are facets that are a tad dated or worn but the home had everything we needed. Great hub for exploring Gatlinburg.

The house is well located, well appointed but as you point out it is a little dated, which is reflected in the lower price point.
We enjoyed our stay. The garbage disposal wasn’t working when we arrived but my handy husband fixed it. Other than that minor issue, the property was great!!!

Twyla, thanks for your stay and thank your husband for the repair. We have been having an issue with the disposal jamming. Its really not meant to grind food into a septic tank. I'd like to just leave the disposal but have it not used but I'll have to replumb it so that people dont put food down the drain.
About the host
Hosted by Ed Tollefsen
I have aspirations of retiring to the mountains and managing 5 of our own properties and 15 other luxury vacation rentals. A condo purchase in May of 2018 represents our 3rd property. In November of 2023, I purchased a fourth property, a railroad caboose. Throughout 2024, we will be converting the Caboose to a luxury 1 bedroom property with a goal of having it on rental for spring of 2025.
In 2013, we took over the daily management of the properties. We aren't perfect but we do believe in continuous improvement. We consider our places to be part of your vacation experience and as such we are part of 100's of joyous times with families and friends. Our hope is that the cabin & your stay in this beautiful city is a wonderful, lifelong memory.
Why they chose this property
Convenient to Smoky Mountain National Forest, Gatlinburg. Quiet neighborhood with dedicated security and plow service. Surrounded by national parklands which result in a massive amount of wildlife all around us. Relaxing mountain views.
A short drive to Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and Biltmore Estate.
What makes this property unique
3 outdoor pools for summer use, private hot tub, multi-game video machine, 2 private decks, and views.
Roads maintained by the HOA. Winter snows are addressed immediately making chains or 4 WD unnecessary. As legal disclaimer assumes the vehicle operator exercised prudent judgment using plowed roads. I personally have not used 4 WD to access the property on many occasions.
