Great Cabin, Close to Town Yet Pretty Secluded & Good Roads

The Cabin was awesome & the communication with the owners was great even though we didn’t have any reason to contact them, they sent thorough instructions ahead of time. All The Beds & Couches were comfy, the layout was so nice & we especially loved all the fireplaces even in the Summer & the iLink lights/speaker above the pool table & hot tub were great! If we had any complaints at all it would be the Pool was WAY too cold to enjoy so we didn’t ever use it, the basement show liner needs cleaned/replaced & the porches need cleaned of spider webs as there are large spiders in the corners & above the doors that my husband had to take care of those at night before any of us girls would go out there.

The Great Gatlinburg Escape

Katie and her staff are amazing, everything she guaranteed was provided and more. She and the staff was proactive with pre arrival tips -providing insight to places to visit, answering general questions, providing contact information and next day check-in inquiry. We thought the sign advising that the cabin was located in a bear crossing was a decorative item until, we had the family forever moments of having bear visitors (mama bear with 2 cubs and a huge solo explorer). The cabin is immaculate, this was one of the first times we did not have to preclean before we unpacked. The cabin was well stocked with all the necessities general pantry items, trash bags, general cleaning supplies, pots, pans, towels, toiletries, CLEAN gas grill, games and toys for kids, even a started stack of firewood. This is a family entertainment cabin, the kids enjoyed staying at the cabin, there was no pressure to do a massive amount of activities (1-2 per day). Thanks, Katie, Shawn and Jim - for the great family memories - we will be back.

Excellent cabin with ample parking, location was close to downtown. Very clean and comfortable sleeping arrangements. Pool was nice, and the hot tub was excellent. Our only complaint was the grill wasn’t cleaned but we cleaned it before and after our use. I suspect most people don’t do that. We really enjoyed our stay and will recommend this cabin to others.

Fantastic house!

This house was great! We had 13 family members staying here for 4 days. The house was exactly as described. Very clean and in great condition. The drive up was not bad at all. Conveniently located about 20 minutes to both Pigeon Forge and downtown Gatlinburg. The kids loved the pool! We enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs on the back deck. We even saw a bear come by! Communication was easy and very informing. The snacks they had out for us when we arrived was such a nice touch of hospitality. I would highly recommend staying here and would love to stay again myself.
