Zach was great and helped me a lot. Had lots of travel issues and he worked with us on them. My only complaint was the bedroom curtains were not full curtains so it was really bright early in the morning. And make sure you lock your car and cabin as the bears will open the doors. Had one in our car as did several neighbors. No damage just paw prints in mud in the seats.
Our host was very responsive to any question we had during our stay! He even sent a list of places to eat which was great since this was our first time in Gatlinburg. Parking is a little tight if you have a truck but secluded enough you don't have to worry about other vehicles passing by much. Loved everything about this place!
Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
Very clean, small bathroom for 6 people. Disappointed in gameroom, and a bear attacked and broke out passenger window, other than it was great 2 day getaway. anhour after arrival
I’ve stayed at this cabin before so it still hasn’t disappointed me. Everything was the way it says it’s gonna be and Zack even helped with a few blonde moments I had.
Had a great time staying here. It was so easy to check in and the owner kept in contact with us for any needs. It is a cozy, yet roomy cabin perfect for you and your spouse or a small family. Definitely recommend booking here, and hope to be back soon!
Stayed here with my family for an extended weekend and had a great time. Cabin was close to downtown but still had a mountain feel, would definitely recommend

Lisa, thank you for your review! We also love the mountain feel but still being so close! Glad you had a great stay!
Bathroom bath faucet leaks and kinda drives you insane at night hot tub was not turned on when we arrived had to push fuse in and floor is a little rough with missing wood kinda feels a little out dated towels smelled milldewy as well but still loved the cabin loved our stay host was great and responsive little upset about the late pet fee but my two fur babies had a great time as well thanks again
The cabin was clean and easy to get into. Location of the cabin was close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Communication with the host was quick and clear. My parents and I enjoyed the stay.
Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Saw a bear and that was awesome. Parking in my SUV was hard and the road was rough to drive on to get there. Was very close to the park and downtown. Would stay there again.
The stay overall was nice however a few things that would’ve been nice to know is the limited parking available (two spots), the second room is a loft of the A-Frame with no closed door/wall noise/ overall privacy, and the 1.5 bath as listed is really just a full bath and a Jacuzzi in the master room, so it’s one full bathroom and just one toilet for the house among your guests.

Collin, I’m so glad to hear you had a great stay! I appreciate you pointing out those details. We strongly emphasize those points in our photos and listing descriptions so guests can clearly see the parking and we highlight that it is tight, but does accommodate two vehicles. And we have photos and descriptions that highlight the second bedroom is in the open loft. Thank you for the kind review!
This cabin was not only adorable it was in the perfect location!
Close to all the attractions Gatlinburg can offer but separated when you needed some R&R!

So glad you enjoyed your stay at the cabin! We also love how close it is to all the attractions!
We had a wonderful weekend at this cabin. It is the definition of quaint—tucked away in the trees, incredibly peaceful, and fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. From the kitchen essentials to the cozy linens, the hosts really thought of every detail to make it feel like home.The only issue we encountered was the parking situation. There is no designated parking spot for the cabin, which was a surprise as there was no warning about this in the listing. If you are traveling with more than one vehicle, be aware that it is definitely not possible to park two cars anywhere nearby.The Verdict: An absolutely beautiful, well-equipped retreat. Just be sure to carpool and plan for the lack of a driveway!

Frances, so glad you had a great stay and enjoyed the cabin! Just wanted to let future guests know that there is parking for two vehicles at the cabin! It is listed in the description as such and is noted to be tight parking. But I have personally had a truck and trailer at the cabin and two vehicles. Just stay near the step and park near the cabin!
This cabin is very nice and the pictures don't do it justice. The owner is very responsive and punctual with his replies and is willing to help any way he can. It's a little difficult to get to with a full-size truck, but you get the hang of it after 2 or 3 trips. Overall, a fantastic experience.
The place and cabin was nice. Saw bears atleast 4 days at the cabin. Plenty of space for us. Very enjoyable. Only thing was it wasn’t cleaned the best.

Thank you for your review Brandon! So glad you had a great stay and got to see some bears. I’m sorry to hear about the cleaning. I wish you would’ve brought it to our attention during your stay and we would’ve happily sent out cleaning crew to address any concerns. We pride ourselves in providing a clean cabin for our guests!
The cabin was so cute and homey! We enjoyed our stay. This cabin is close to Gatlinburg without being too close. Lots of bear sightings at the cabin! The owner was very quick to respond about a matter that needed attention soon and ensured that they would promptly resolute the issue. We recommend this cabin to anyone enjoying nights away!
