Very nice cabin and location

We really enjoyed our stay at the Appalachian Dream cabin. Plenty of space and comfortable furnishings. We didn't have any trouble finding the location, although we didn't have cell signal once we arrived. Easy access to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Only issue we encountered was that we weren't able to use the clubhouse due to overflow parking from Ober Gatlinburg filling the lot and the attendant wouldn't let us in. Make sure you take advance of the Explorie free tickets. Very easy to use and saved us money on local attractions!

Super Clean & Cozy!

Adorable cabin close to downtown GBurg! We spent a long weekend with our daughters & grandsons here. Our grandsons loved ‘their’ bedroom with the foosball table. Enough room for the 7 of us, but honestly can’t imagine more people than that. Office staff were amazing! They have thought of everything! Note to others re: firewood, THEY deliver with 10+ bundles! Property is in a neighborhood, but other than the garbage man, I think we saw 5 people our whole stay. One of the cleanest cabins we’ve ever rented!! And the bears…we saw 4; assumed a Mama & 3 teenagers! Our grandsons were over the moon excited!! Just a few unimportant personal suggestions that did NOT impact our stay, but would maybe be helpful for future guests: some type of hooks for the bathrooms; hairdryer, porch light timer, small set of inexpensive mixing bowls. Again, only suggestions :) We loved our stay & will choose Laurel Mountain again!!

Review

Great place to stay , cozy. Roads to cabins are very intimidating, no guardrails in some spots and complete drop off!!! Bears very active, awesome to see them with baby cubs. However, we had to be on alert whenever sitting on porch or coming and leaving the cabin because they were everywhere. Was chased inside cabin numerous times because they would come right up on the porch!!!!!! Gatlinburg Sevierville and Pigeon Forge were great places to visit. Overall I would not recommended this particular area/ cabin if you have small children because of the bears.

Best cabin ever!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We got in late the first night things were so clean and nice. The next evening and every evening after that we saw bears! We even had one climb up onto the front porch where we could see it up close and personal, from the door and windows. We enjoyed our stay and hope to rent the same cabin for the next visit to Gatlinburg! My son forgot his boots and the rental company we super nice and helpful in getting us back into the cabin to get them. If you get the chance, book this cabin! You can thank me later!
