About this property
Beautiful Mountain Condo - isolated, secluded and just 8 minutes from downtown !
This condo is on a high mountain pass overlooking Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort. Yet it is within the Gatlinburg city limits and downtown is just a quick 8 minute drive. The neighborhood is very peaceful with a few homes around the condo but spaced well apart for privacy. There is lots of parking and the easy access into our 2 bedroom condo on the bottom floor.
The condo is fully stocked with everything you need. The living area has a large stone fireplace with a 50” LED TV above it with access to free Netflix and free cable. A very comfortable sofa and loveseat make up the living area with french doors leading out to the deck. The kitchen is super convenient with stainless steel stove, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. All your cook ware and utensils are provided. We also provide a full service set for 6 people, lots of kitchen accessories, along with a coffeemaker, blender and toaster. In between the kitchen and living area is a dining area with seating for 6. All the floors outside of the bedrooms are hardwood laminate. . Our bedrooms are so comfortable, the master bedroom has a king size bed looking out onto the deck through french doors. Across from the bed is another 50” LED TV. Yes, a 50” TV even in the bedroom ! Off the master bedroom, the master bath features a deep 2 person Jacuzzi therapeutic jetted whirlpool with 15 jets. The guest bedroom also has a king size bed along with yet another 50” LED TV. A second full size bath services this bedroom.
Perhaps the best space in the entire condo is the oversized all weather deck. This 300 square foot deck features a seating area for 4 protected from rain and sun and then a sun area with rocking chairs. We have also located an electric BBQ grill that requires no charcoal or propane ! You may very well spend most of your stay with us right out on our deck !
Next door to the condo is one of the homeowner association club houses and pool. It is just a 30 second walk and is a great place to spend sunny summer afternoons with the kids.
Please note, our unit is below the parking area grade. Four sections of stairs lead you down to the front door.
We are one of the first owners to host properties on VRBO. We have been with VRBO for 14 years happily hosting guests.
You are going to love this very comfortable mountain condo, we guarantee it ! .

This was a great property, very convenient to downtown Gatlinburg, hiking trails and literally 5 minutes from Ober Mountain, with scenic views on the drive in either direction. The condo was a perfect size for our small family of 3. The clubhouse and pool on property was great for entertainment during downtimes.
Great space for a family of 4. Nice deck off the back of the condo, peaceful and decently private. Just a few visits from the neighborhood bears - they stayed in the lawn.
Steve is an excellent host. He sent activities, excellent directions , and much more. We spent a week in the condo which has great furnishings and a most comfy king size bed. A great place to stay while in Gatlinburg.
BEAUTIFUL CONDO! Host, Steven, was an absolute pleasure to rent from. We have never had such wonderful communication with a host before! Steven not only communicated well before our stay, but would text us helpful info during our stay. Upon arrival, the condo was pleasantly clean and well equipped for our needs. Always love a condo that has two couches for four adults! Thank you Steven for allowing us to rent your beautiful Gatlinburg condo!
My girlfriend and I spent the week in this very nice and comfortable condo unit as we toured the Great Smokey Mountains. After long days in the park it was very refreshing to come back to the condo and kick our feet up and relax on the deck. The daily siting of bears completed the week!!
This condo is very nice and cozy. Very close to downtown Gatlimburg and just right next to Ober mountain, probably even walking distance! Amenities are good, clean and everything is in good state! Netflix for the kids and a nice patio which probably is great in summer! No problem with parking at all, and the drive up the mountain is not bad at all! I would definitely stay here again! Thanks Steve for making sure everything was perfect!

We sure appreciated hosting Patricia. She left our home in very good shape.
The beds are brand new, purchased in March. The Keurig coffeemaker has been replaced. It is unfortunate Patricia notified us about the coffeemaker via review instead of just letting us know. We could have had a new one for her in less than 2 hours :(
We had a great stay at Steve’s place! He was so easy to get in touch with if we needed anything. Everything on the listing is accurate. Drive up is a little scary if you’re not used to driving in the mountains but I got the hang of it pretty quickly though! It’s in a nice quiet location but not too far from town. Pizza delivery a few miles away was great! Would stay here again!!
It was great except for the smell. It smelled like mold and gave us headaches. There has got to be something you can do to change that.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 September 2022
We very much enjoyed hosting Donna. She was a great guest. We'd like to make a few comments regarding her review. First, there is no mold in our home and there never has been. This condo, like all homes in the area is located in a sub-tropical southern mountainous area otherwise known as the Great Smoky Mountains. The environment is quite humid especially in Sommer and what Donna is mistaking for mold is simply the very humid environment we are located in. In addition to the AC unit, we also provide a dehumidifier for guests to use if they wish, to remove humidity from the indoor air. Using the dehumidifier makes a noticeable difference in the indoor air humidity. Since Donna seemed sensitive to the humidity level in the home, if she had just turned on the dehumidifier, problem solved.

Stay was not good
Property is so outdated,the smell of mold, there is mold in the bathroom, water dripping from upstairs over the shower head, pillows dirty and the throw pillows smells of precious body odor. The sofas are sunken in , the place was dusty. The worst place I’ve ever stayed. Misleading of the stairs.. not a couple of flights down!!! more like four flights down!!! and up..not good for seniors.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 April 2020
Unfortunately, Charlene was a difficult guest and was very aggressive in her demands for compensation. Let's review her review ....
Outdated ? - brand new master bathroom, brand new laminate flooring, brand new carpet, brand new kitchen appliances, brand new French doors to the deck, brand new washer and dryer. 3 brand new 50" smart LED TV's in every room. All these were installed in 2019. Does that sound dated ? Just look at the photos on our property page !
Our description clearly states 3 flights of stairs to navigate, not 2. Charlene seems to be a little challenged providing accurate info in her review. She even had to acknowledge when she booked the property that the home had 3 flights. If her age makes it difficult to navigate 3 flights of stairs that were clearly described, why did she book this property ?
The housekeeping firm we use is top notch and we use them for 3 properties in Gatlinburg. There is no dust or any pillow odors that Charlene eludes to.
There is no mold in any of the bathrooms or anywhere else in the home. Once again, Charlene is reaching
The sofa and loveseat are comfortable and we get many compliments about them.
C'mon Charlene, this review is just vengeance for not cashing in by shaking down the owner :(

Bad deal
We paid for two nights, stayed one, took the loss and moved on. Very bad location, no view, four flights of stairs Down, not a well maintained property or unit. The unit is dated and not clean, but we paid the cleaning fee..... Just another owner trying to ride the vrbo trend, one star accommodation, motel 6 is a better choice.

Just another undesirable guest who we hope avoids VRBO in the future.
No view ? .....where in our description do we advertise a great view ? The condo is located in a very peaceful mountain top setting with great vistas all around. However, from
the back deck it is a wooded view and no where do we imply a great view from the deck. Looks like Travis did no research before he booked. Stairs ? .... Our property listing clearly states that there are stairs to reach the front door. In fact, guests must acknowledge it before they book. Once again Travis did not take any time to understand what he was doing. Dated ? ..... Brand new kitchen with stainless steel appliances, new beds, new living room furniture, beautiful new bathroom, new flooring, carpet, new french doors. Just look at the photos ! Not clean ? ....where are all the other reviews complaining about our housekeeping ? Hmm, there are none. Not once did Travis mention any dissatisfaction with his stay. On behalf of all VRBO hosts, we hope Travis stays in a Motel 6 next time and stays away from VRBO

Misinformation
It is not clear in the description that you have to go down 5 set of stairs if it had been we would not have booked this condo
It was musty smelling and the carpets were damp if the humidifier had been turned on that probably would not have been a issue

Folks, this review is an example of what happens when travelers do not read the property description, don't do any trip planning and do not review any of the information provided by hosts. The stairs to the unit are clearly advertised in the property description. In addition, we also reported the stairs in the arrival information we provided Vicki, and then again in text messages before he arrival. That's 3 different times that Vicki ignored information that was provided to her. If you look at previous reviews, you will notice that our guests were aware of stairs to the unit before they arrived. But not Vicki. In addition, Vicki was very poor communicator and did not respond to any of messages we sent during her stay.
This home like all homes in the area is in a very humid southern Appalachian sub tropical climate. We provide dehumidifiers for guests who prefer a less humid experience. We hope Vicki reads review response and can do a better job with her responsibilities as a guest next time. We wish her well.
I searched for days looking for the best place to rent for our birthday week/weekend. I read through the reviews and felt I had a pretty good idea what I was signing up for. Everything is as exactly as described. Yes, there are stairs. It’s worth it! We felt we had more privacy being on the bottom floor and the view was beautiful. Yes, there are cameras on the front and back of the condo, which made us feel safe. They are not positioned in a way that makes you feel like you’re being spied on in anyway. The condo was VERY clean, nicely decorated and fully furnished. I liked having the guest card, which gave us 10-20% discount on restaurants and attractions. The drive up the mountain was an adventure, we made it the first night in the dark but again, it was an adventure we’d gladly do again. The beds were comfortable. Oh, and I heard a bear our second night there! We are already looking at dates to go back in December!

It was a pleasure hosting Crystal. We deploy cameras strictly for the benefit of our guests’ safety and security. Would be thieves turn and run when they see cameras on our properties. All of our cameras are disclosed before our guests book.
My family and I stayed for a week in this mountain condo, and we absolutely loved it! The home was very clean and neat. The kitchen was amazingly clean! Lovely counter tops and new appliances! We cooked 5 of the 7 days and were never without what we needed to do so. The cookwear was in better condition than expected (I've seen some scary cookwear in vacation homes), and had everything we needed as far as utensils... all in all, a great kitchen!
The beds were comfortable and a welcome friend after long days of trekking through Gatlinburg!
The deck/patio was wonderful. Fully shaded with seating for 6. Automatic lighting illuminates the deck area for evenings. Its where we spent most of our time when in the home. Enjoying cool breezes and visits from birds, a raccoon and mama bear with cubs(she just walked by with her cubs in tow, didnt even seem to notice we were there...but we did have bear spray, just in case). If its the sun you seek, the pool is a 1 minute walk from your door!
Overall, its a wonderful place to stay. Its exactly as advertised. That includes the stairs! Lets face it, most folks leave in the morning and return in the evening, so youre only going up those stairs once a day, its really not that big a deal! We took out our trash in the morning when we left to save an extra trip up!
If you're looking for a place thats clean, comfortable, well stocked, well cared for and within 30 minutes or so of every attraction imaginable,
THIS IS THE PLACE!

Steps, steps, steps
Although the description say on lower level, it does not say how far down. 35 steps to be exact. No elevators, so imagine carrying your luggage down that many steps. Description says mountain view. No mountain view at all. D3scription says stainless steel appliances, nope. Look at pictures, they are not stainless steel. When we got there, the condo smelled musty. There are no curtains on the living room doors. The master bedroom blinds were broke and some missing. The master bath jacuzzi tub is not for the elderly. I am 49 and had a hard time getting in and out. No way you could relax in that. The louvers on the doors separating the bathroom from bedroom had a ton of dust on the,. 2ND bathroom - bathtub water ran and would not hold water. Found specks of dirt in ice trays. Condo appears to have some updates with the flooring, but there is still a ton to do!
We emailed the owner as soon as we got there and he did apologize it was not what we were expecting and gave us a 1 night refund.
Pros - a place to lay your head. Netflix was nice to have. Deck is large and nice, just wish there was a better view. Easy to get to. Plenty of parking.
Cons - not for elderly or anyone that cannot or does not want to haul everything down 3 flights of steps and back up. Needs updating, but appears owner is trying.

We enjoyed hosting Tammy in our home. She treated it well and left it in good shape when she left. We are little confused by her review so maybe we can clarify a little:
We rechecked our websites and nowhere could we find the description that we have a clear mountain view. Perhaps Tammy was referring to some other property she had visited. The view from the back deck is beautiful and there are views across to the next mountain top but no expansive mountain views. She also mentioned there are no stainless appliances. The photos clearly show stainless appliances in the kitchen (it’s hard to miss since the photo is unfortunately sideways ) and pervious reviews even mention the stainless steel appliances. Perhaps Tammy hasn’t seen stainless appliances before and is not sure what they look like. The website description describes steps from the parking area to the front door in at least 2 different places. Maybe Tammy didn’t read the description or read it too fast. This condo has brand new hardwood floors, brand new carpet, brand new appliances, brand new bathroom renovation, brand new deck furniture, brand new mattresses, completely repainted and brand new 50” TV’s in every room. That was all completed in just our first year of ownership. Does that sound like we need a lot of updating ? This home is maintained by one of the most picky, thorough housekeeping teams in Gatlinburg. There is no “ton of dust” anywhere. Hope this helps clarifies.

Too many stairs
Let me start by saying there are a lot of stairs. I know the description said lower level...but with the pictures it is hard to tell what lower level really means.
The pros..
Owner was very nice.
Apartment was clean.
Away from the hustle and bustle.
The cons...
Musty smell as soon as you walk in.
There was a smoke smell like someone had smoked in the apartment. The smell was in the couch.
The jacuzzi tub was dated and very deep....hard to get in and out of for older people. We used the tub in the other bathroom but noticed the caulking was moldy and needed replaced. The plumbing was lose in this bathroom and you had to be very careful about turning it on and off.
By the master bedroom there is flooring planks that are bowed up that need repaired.
The paint on the deck is peeling and needs scraped and repainted.
The refrigerator is missing the bottom grate cover.
The dryer needs to be updated. It is an old westinghouse.
The front door landing had a small grill that would have been nice to had on the back porch. The landing was messy. There was an old charcoal grill tucked under the stairs. There was a piece of condensor hose laying on the ground. Several pieces of assorted nuts and bolts..pieces of wiring laying scattered about.
Tried to go to the pool but both times it was closed...other pool locations were given but didn't want to drive.
Our vacation itself was great and I believe with a little TLC this could be a 5 star rental.

We enjoyed hosting Tena. She was very easy to work with.
We clearly, clearly , clearly indicate that guests must walk down 2 sets of stairs. Take a look at our property description and you will see it clearly stated. We also remind guests in their arrival package. It is unfortunate Tena did not read all the available information we provided.
In Tena's comments, please note that she could not claim that there were any facilities that did not work. Yes, there is a hose and some hardware on the ground 10 feet from our unit being used by a project for another unit. Did this really affect the stay ? There are also facilities in the home that are not brand new. However, consider the following; the carpet is one year old; the laminate flooring is 1.5 years old; the kitchen appliances are 1 year old, the master bath is completely new; the French doors leading to the deck are 6 months old. Although we are biased, we have to say that nearly everything in the home is close to brand new. And yes, we will be replacing the washer and dryer in the future, but they both function just fine. Tena did not like the location of the grill. We can't help that. Our condo rules require the grill be placed where it is. Please note she could not complain about the function of the grill. It worked just fine.
This was a perfect setting to come home to after a day of hiking in the park. Very clean, very quiet. Beds and furniture are quite comfortable. From the back deck we saw hummingbirds, a curious bear, and listened to the sounds of owls, crickets, and cicadas. As others have noted, there are three levels of stairs to go up and down.
This was a great property for us to vacation at. I do feel the cleaning ladies could've been more thorough, but it was nothing critical. It was quite a drive up the first time, but we got the hang of it after lol. Steve was a fantastic host. Provided plenty of helpful information and was quick to help us when needed. Our biggest complaint was the rude woman upstairs whom has a broken sliding door to her porch and doesn't care about other people as she goes in and out constantly. It sounds like furniture being moved all day and night. I don't understand owning a condo but not wanting to do the repairs. However, I know that isn't Steve's fault. Just bad luck for us lol. This condo was an amazing deal for the four of us. The porch was nice and cozy to relax on and just enjoy nature. And we saw 3 bears on our trips back to the condo, one of them that came up to our back porch. We had plenty of fun during our stay!

Steve is a great host. Always answered questions quickly. We found a better route to get up to the condo which felt less treacherous. Condo was nice. Well worth the price we paid. Steps did get tiring after going up and down multiple times. The beds were very comfortable!! No backaches the whole week!!
If you are looking for a great value away from the city, this is a great option. It is a bit of a drive up the mountain and not for the faint of heart, but we enjoyed the drive. We saw bears, turkey, coyotes on our drives. It is easy to get to and from on the bypass. You can avoid the buy parts of the city if you want. It was close to Ober as well which was convenient. Communication was excellent from the owner and the lockbox made check in check out easy. It could use some updating and repairs as well a a deep cleaning, but I would stay again regardless.
This property is located in such a beautiful location that it was an irresistible purchase. It's just so peaceful at this condo, yet only 7 minutes from bustling downtown Gatlinburg.
What makes this property unique
So close to the Ski Resort you could even walk, directly next door to one of the 3 Homeowner Association pool clubs. But the best benefit is the beautiful, large sundeck. What a great space for meals, sunning, socializing or just watching mountain showers !
