Family Weekend

The cabin was very clean. The kids enjoyed the games and the fire pit was a great gathering place. The location was just far enough away from the action, but still close enough to get to activities.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad your family enjoyed the cabin and that the kids had fun with the games.

We’re also happy you enjoyed the location—peaceful enough to relax and unwind, while still being close to all the fun in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We’d love to welcome your family back again!

Nice cabin

We stayed with our adult children & grandchildren & enjoyed our stay. The grandchildren especially enjoyed all the electronic games. The cabin is new, very clean & easy parking for all 3 vehicles. Communication with the owner was fast and courteous. We would definitely recommend.

This was by far the BEST vacation rental we have ever booked! Not only were the hosts readily available for any questions, but they were also incredibly kind and attentive. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and well kept. It had all of the essentials which made packing easier. As parents there is always the dread of vacation not really feeling like a break especially if you are staying somewhere unknown. But this cabin truly felt like an extension of our home in the best way possible. We have two 12 year olds and a 15 year old. They were well entertained and even though it was cold and snowy during our stay, there was plenty to keep us busy. 10 out of 10. We look forward to booking this cabin again in the future!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The HOST was excellent and very accommodating, but unfortunately the cleanliness of the property did not reflect the same level of care. We found items left behind from previous guests, and the outdoor area had not been blown off or swept before we arrived. The chairs were scattered throughout the wet, muddy yard, so we had to gather them ourselves and ended up getting muddy in the process. We also noticed that a light bulb near the outdoor bar needs to be replaced. Additionally, the outdoor wicker chairs appear quite worn after years of use and could use replacing, as the cushions no longer provide adequate support. So giving a 5 star for the Host but 1 star for the cleanness.

Hi Matthew, Thank you for your kind words about our efforts to be accommodating. I do appreciate that, though I was disappointed to hear that the exterior didn’t meet expectations. We had some pretty rough wind and rain recently—good old February weather! The patio and chairs were cleaned and set up after our last guest and before your arrival. Since your booking came in just the day before, we unfortunately didn’t get the chance to do our usual final check to make sure the weather hadn’t caused any issues. I’ll be ordering new outdoor deck cushions right away and will also make sure the lightbulb is replaced (it may be the one connected to a switch). Thank you again for not letting these exterior items affect your overall experience. We truly appreciate you staying with us and hope to host you again in the future!

A cabin you're happy to spend a lazy day at with family and friends!

When our group presented the idea of spending a lazy day at the cabin, I, a person that generally prefers to be out and about, didn't hesitate to say "yes." The beautiful and spacious cabin is full of entertainment, including many arcade games and a dart board. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub before making smores at the fire pit. We played Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam, and the other fun video games. Many games of tic-tac-toe were played on the infinity table. The infinity table is such a cool device. We're looking at picking one up for our family. The stamped concrete fire pit and and patio is beautiful. Our kids ventured out into the woods to catch fire flies. We loved the electric fireplace in each bedroom! Just an overall great experience! Thank you!

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! We absolutely love hearing that you enjoyed the cabin enough to spend an entire day just relaxing and having fun together. That’s exactly the kind of experience we hoped to create! It sounds like your family made the most of everything—from the arcade games and Infinity Game Table to the hot tub, s’mores around the fire pit, and even catching fireflies in the woods. Those are the Smoky Mountain memories that make a family vacation special. Thank you again for choosing our cabin and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate it and would love to welcome your family back for another “lazy day” in the Smokies!

About the host

Host profile image
We have been managing our Short Term rentals since our first venture in 2015. We love helping families create memories. We would be honored to have you as our guests. We treat each of our properties as if they are our second home. We stay in each regularly so, rest assured, we attention to even the tinniest of details.

Why they chose this property

Our family has been coming to the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area for years. Our first trip as a couple was to The Smokies, and we brought our oldest here when she was just 6 weeks old!

There is no place on earth that we would rather be!

What makes this property unique

We first fell in love with the location. Centrally located between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, it was perfect for our family!

Also, the drive in was smooth, with no treacherous, mountain roads. And when we pulled in to a nice, even, level driveway, and saw the enormous yard, we just knew we have found a place where our guest would truly enjoy!
