Relaxing Family Trip

This home was perfect for our family! Great location! Close to town but far enough away to relax and enjoy the quiet! The house was very comfortable and clean! Janice was very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. We loved our days relaxing on the porch!

Great place to stay!!

We enjoyed staying here very much. The house is amazing, in a quiet area and a very short drive to all the area attractions. Janice was great at communicating with us she tried everything to help us in everyway. Her house is wonderful with tons of space and the back porch and back yard are wonderful. We never had time to use the hot tub but it looked great. We would definitely book the house again. Thank you for letting us rent your home.

Amazing Place to Stay

All the comforts of home plus tons of activities and games to play during downtime. We spent the majority of two days doing activities in Gaitlinburg which is a very short drive from the house with a "downtime" day in between where the children and dad played endless games of air hockey and pacman. We later went into Sevierville and did the Magiquest, which the whole fsmily enjoyed. The property is centrally located, really does have all the comforts of home plus some and Janice is a very responsive and on top of it host. We will definitely stay here again. airhockey. air hockey

Girls Trip

One of my friends and I needed a weekend getaway. We found this home and booked it. The owner was outstanding to work with. She went above and beyond for our stay. The house was clean and fully stocked of anything we needed during our trip. The location was awesome, out of town, but not too far. There were several things to do near the house as well. Next time I travel to Pigeon Forge, we are checking for this rentals availability first. My friend requested the home’s information to book her trips to Pigeon Forge there as well. Book it…You will not regret it.

Perfect place to stay with motorcycles - Highly recommend

We come every year and this is now one of our favorite places to stay. Quiet location and close to main road without being too close. We were able to park 2 motorcycle trailers, 2 trucks, and 3 motorcycles with no issues. Level ground perfect for motorcycles. All the amenities you need. Comfortable beds and very clean. Decorated beautifully. Large kitchen area and plenty of space so nobody felt cramped or on top of each other. The owner/host was very attentive and enjoyable to talk with. Some places have long lists of rules and checkout expectations but not here. A completely enjoyable stay and we will be back! Highly recommend.

Great Stay for a Family Getaway

The host was very nice and easy to reach! She answered all of our questions and provided information about things to do in the area. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The home was a 10-30 minute drive to all of the areas/attractions that we visited and the roads were easily accessible, no steep mountain roads. The hot tub was relaxing and the open floor plan of the home was ideal for out family! We enjoyed lots of family time and the air hockey table was a hit with out 8 year old. It was also nice that the host had a high chair/booster seat and a pack n' play, so that we did not have to work about packing either of those items. The internet worked well and the back porch and backyard were ideal for vacationing with a toddler! We can't wait to stay again in the future!

Irrational Stalker Homeowner

No amount of amenities can make up for the nightmare we endured in this home. The owner has cameras set up to spy on guests and calls within minutes of arrival & of anything occurring that does not suit her. Our family of 4 planned to spend 4 nights. On the second night, we had 5 additional family members eat dinner with us. The homeowner (Janice) was irate that a vehicle was in the second driveway, and called at 6:30 pm to accuse us of partying/trashing her house and tell us to leave. She called the police, blocked in our vehicles with her jeep, and stalked us until 9:55 when our guests walked outside to leave. The police told her it was illegal to block in guests and she moved her jeep. She couldn’t cancel our reservation due to no party/drinking or negligent behavior. We had officers check our immaculate home, and they encouraged us to stay the night to ensure no damages occurred and we got the blame. We slept with chairs under the doorknobs and my father-in-laws pistol in the house. Our daughters went to the campground with the rest of our family because they were scared to death of this irrational woman who cussed, yelled, and screamed at us. I’ve never felt so threatened or violated in my life. She cancelled our reservation the next morning, while we were at Dollywood and texted to tell me the police were coming again. She tells lies to steal your money & leave you homeless while on vacation. We were her first renters, and want to save others the traumatic experience!

I can't help but laugh at this review. When Michelle booked this cabin, she new it only allowed four persons. two adults and two children. The night they arrived, i called to go over how to turn on fireplace, arcade games, hot tub, tv etc and she just praised the place so much. I thought all was great. The next morning, i noticed a message from AT&T that the internet, tv was off. i did not worry about it, i thought i had honest guests. That evening on the camera at back driveway went off to see Burgandy car parking behind house where nobody parks, because the downstairs is for riding mower and storage. I knew Michelle said they were going to Dollywood, so I called her to say someone was breaking in. She said it was in-laws two people staying for dinner. I told her that i would have canceled the stay if i knew she was having extra guest over. that place insures four only. I asked her to tell them to leave and she refused. Me and my husband rode over to find still another truck in the driveway. At this time the lies were building up. I called the police and told them i would wait outside. This girl's brother came out, I pulled up and away from split rail fence so my husband could get out and Michele's brother that was not even supposed to be there, started telling me he would back over me and my truck, his wife was yelling also. the police officer did not comment at all, he was just trying to help the situation. The children were not terrified, they were having a great time. they should not have been up after midnight. They did go to campground, because only four could stay here and they went to camper, so grandparents would get to stay. They all stayed two nights before getting caught. This woman claims to teach school, and I am just saying, I am so glad that I do not have children in her school, if that is true. If People, follow rules that owners have at these places, it would be a lot easier on all of us. Especially if it is on the listing over and over, and on the refrigerator in the cabin. This is the 5 percent you hate to see coming. I pray for the children with parents that are like this. GOD BLESS THE CHILDREN.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
