Amazing location

Perfect spot for getting into town quickly or getting on the bypass to the park. Small note, but driveway / parking area is tight, so extra large or multiple vehicles may be difficult.

Great place, great location

We came up to the Smokies with my family recently and enjoyed our stay here. My kids really loved the arcade system upstairs (OK, I did too). The place was in a good location, close to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Overall, we had a great time!

Cabin is extremely clean. Decorated very nicely.Good hot tub. Host readily accessible. Cabin number very difficult to see at roadway. We made our own marker which made things easier. Good location..trolley stop at bottom of the hill.

The cabin was beautiful, well maintained, and clean. We did need to wash the dishware before use as those didn't appear very clean. The pool that was advertised with the listing was not as close as we thought it would be (had to drive up the road/mountain to get to it) and because of this we didnt utilize the pool.There was one night where we had a decent amount of rain and what my family and I think occurred is the overflow of the septic and the area smelled terrible. It only lasted that one day.

Wonderful Getaway

We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this cabin. Everything was clean, in working order and comfortable. Perfect location between both cities which we enjoyed. Only thing I would note for future visits is to bring your own bath towels and double check internet username and password. (Listed wrong on VRBO). Looking forward to coming again with our family to enjoy!

Fun property. Only negative comment was to blow the leaves off deck and stairs. When wet, they were slippery. But close to everything, and we would stay there again!

Unfortunately, there were fleas and dog hair in the den and on us as soon as we sat down in the first 30 minutes of arrival. Sent pics, and notified the manager. They said could not get anyone to treat the unit because it was the weekend. We were going to be there 30 hours total so I told her that instead of spending my entire time trying to find a new unit/hotel, I would purchase treatment and do it myself, which I did. Spiders and crickets were in the unit, old trash in the trash can outside. The unit felt unkept as if it had sat for several weeks with no attention to cleanliness.

Favorite cabin!

Third time staying in this particular cabin. First time with Amanda as our host. We love the location between Gatlinburg and PF. The cabin itself is clean and has everything you need. My 10 yr old loves the hot tub and arcade game. Amanda responded quickly when we had a question. Would 100% stay a fourth time in this cabin!!!!

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin.Our highlight was that momma bear with her two cubs walked down the driveway and inspected our car and then crossed the water, since there was no food found.We'll keep it in mind for a next trip!
