We loved our stay at Idle Days - such a treasure! Wonderful location, great amenities (just wish we could have used the hot tub, but it wasn't working during our stay) and our kids loved the pool table. We saw a momma black bear with her 3 cubs every morning right outside the cabin - watched them from the porch! Very special place. We can't wait to visit again.

Great stay!

We had a family of 7 and loved our stay. The cabin was just as described. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The hot tub and porches were such fun. Easy checkin me out. We will definitely stay here again.

Great family get away!

Our family really enjoyed staying at this property! Enjoyed reading a book in one of the rockers on the porch! Great environment to cook family dinners while watching some old school movies! Our pups got some good exercise a few times a day and found their favorite little areas to visit!

Idle days stay

It was very nice and clean as described. I would recommend if you have little ones you take a baby gate (38”) because of stairs but other than that it was perfect.

Nice, quiet, and excellent location!

This property is very well kept. It is in a great location. It is close enough to Gatlinburg, the craft loop, and Pigeon Forge but is secluded enough to get away from all the crowds. We rally enjoyed our stay. Just one note to make about the property...If you have a large vehicle parking may be a challenge.

The property was beautiful! We loved the creek running along side of the cabin.

The property management called and checked if we needed anything. We really enjoyed our stay. The only bad thing about our stay was the master bed. It was hard as a rock. Other than that we had a wonderful family getaway.

Wonderful stay

ABSOLUTELY LOVE! The cabin was exactly as listed, very clean, and cozy. The payment process, check in process and check out process was very easy. The cabin is a very short way from downtown Gatlinburg and a short easy drive from Pigeon Forge. The cabin has everything you need supplied. We were all extremely sad to be checking out and leaving the cabin. It definitely felt like home while on vacation. We Will absolutely be using Jackson Mountian Cabin rentals again for future vacations!

Idle time in Gatlinburg

Great location, great cabin. Everything was perfect. The only thing they could change would be the parking. Hard to get two cars in and passengers out without blocking porch stairs. Probably a redo of the porch and stair entrance would solve the problem.

Cabin was great, but not enough room for a truck and a suv

The cabin was amazing. Nice and cozy, but there was not room to park a truck and a suv as stated 2 parking spots. The driveway was narrow and the truck would not fit all the way back.

Hello Stephanie, Thank you for your comments and feedback regarding your stay. We are glad to know that you found the cabin to be great and met your needs. We do apologize that the parking situation did not work out as the driveway is perfect for two standard cars. Understanding how frustrating that may have been, we will be happy to ensure that this is addressed so future guests do not meet the same dilemma. Once more, we thank you for your review and we look forward to the opportunity to host you next year.

Birthday Getaway

Location is really easy to get to from 2 different ways which is good in times of high traffic. Loved the seasonal decorations for Fall. Beds(Mattress/Box Springs) could use an update as both beds squeak when you sit on them. Shower heads could use cleaning attention. Communication was really good & well in advance. The double deck wraparound pouches was extremely nice & well furnished. Hot top needs cleaning & recalculation of chlorine/chemicals.

Great for two couples

This cabin was as advertised and great for two couples. However, the parking is quite tight and a large vehicle would be a squeeze. We picked this cabin because of the location in Gatlinburg and the ability to bring our dog. However, there are no trails in the development because of the steep topography and all the roads are paved. There is actually very little grassy area to walk the dog. I would still recommend it as long as you are forewarned on the parking and inability to take your dog for a long walk right from your door.

Happy Family Cabin!

We loved staying at this cabin for a weeklong getaway with our two boys (12 and 10) and our Havanese dog. Everyone had their own space and the cabin was plenty big enough for all of us. We loved the deck for eating outside and the living areas for hanging out (the boys loved playing their own version of pool!). Speaking of pool—the community pool was a hit for everyone and was a short walk from the cabin. The cabin is tucked away and in a nice, quiet location, but be warned that the driveway is on an incline and can be daunting to navigate! The hills in the complex will get your heart pumping, especially when you take your dog on daily walks to see the many ducks and geese that live in the nearby ponds. ☺️ Overall, we would recommend this property to family and friends and would stay here again!

Great spot, but not what we expected

The beds sink and both of the couch pull outs. I get the pull outs caving in, but not the actual beds. The check on process is easy, but getting permission to check out late was delayed and made the last night of our stay rushed. There were several locations that the cleaning was sub par. The corners of both beds, down stairs couch, and some curtains all had pee marks from dogs. Were pet friendly, obviously, but our dogs went crazy over this and we had to cage them for the entire stay, so they didnt mark too. Otherwise this was a great stay. We really liked the amenities, location and stay. Thanks.

Peaceful

Private and peaceful. Easiest stay ever. Received updates via text/email for check-in/check-out. Cabin had everything we needed. Food City is less than 5 minute drive, so we could grab food for the week. Close enough to parkway to quickly join tourists at shops, restaurants or sightseeing, but far enough to enjoy authentic peace and quiet while lounging on the deck. Anything we needed during our stay was immediately addressed (mid-week garbage pick-up; power outage due to heavy thunder and lightning storm.) The week was a success! Family (husband, daughters(25), nephew(19)) loved the cabin this trip! We visit the area monthly, but usually stay at a hotel. This trip in a cabin was delightful and afforded us room to gather together (play pool, soak in hottub, eat meals, watch tv), but it also gave us space to spread out for quiet time on our own to nap, read a book or just chill. Saw some beautiful black bears while sitting outside too on a few occasions too!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
