The overall stay was excellent. The view was amazing. I loved the peace and quiet. The acess to m microwave and coffee was great and also the other ameneties. The only downside was the access road to the property have been a little wider. The over grown brush made it difficult in some spots to make sure you are still on the road.

Wonderful stay

Beautiful cabin! Super convenenient and close to Gatlinburg! The only minimal complaints we have is that the door was a little hard to lock and unlock- also the road on the mountain to the cabin was rough and if would have brought our motorcycle or one of our other vehicle we would not have been able to stay there so it should be listed in the desciption. Hot tub was a great amenity for sure! Owner was quick to respond and very accomodating, would definitely stay again!

The place was as summarized and beyond beautiful. Every time I reached out to the owners they responded quick and they even let me check in early given the situation. There was plenty of things to do in the surrounding area will definitely be returning in the future and would love to deal with the hosts again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Spectacular Vista. The cabin was perfect, clean and with an amazing view. The location is perfect- quiet and away from the noise but close enough for a short drive into town. We can’t wait until we visit again

About the host

Hosted by Edward Bates

Host profile image
The Great Smoky Mountains are our great love and passion. We believe you will fall in love with them too. The greatest compliment we have received on the property has come from about a dozen guests over the past three years who have asked, 'Is this a part of the National Park?' The boundary between our Property and the National Park is almost indistinguishable. The photos are real and not retouched. Our forest appears to be contiguous with the National Park. We truly have one of the best views and one of the best locations in America.

What makes this property unique

Spectacular Vista is only 39 miles from Harrah's Casino in the Cherokee Reservation in North Carolina.

Spectacular Vista has become an Affordable, Secret Hideaway for Honeymooners.
