Fantastic Cabin with Fantastic View
I can only say great things about this property. Plenty of space close enough to Pigeon Forge, but far enough to not be caught up in the hustle and bustle of the spring break croud. Would totally stay there again. Hopefully, next time we get to see a bear!

Gorgeous and comfortable home
This house is perched at the top of a mountain, providing stunning views of the ever-changing smoky mountains. We found it to be very comfortable and was a perfect layout for our group. Thank you!

Christmas Break at Shady Maples Lodge
We were booked to arrive on 12/26. However, the storm of the decade said "no". On the evening of our arrival the area received several inches of snow making travel to just about anywhere impossible. The road to the cabin was impassible unless one had a tank. We ended up in several local hotels. On the 27th we were able to make it up the roads to the gorgeous cabin. It was very clean, warm, and complete with amenities as advertised. It's located close to Smokey Mountain NP and allowed for easy access to several hiking trails, waterfalls and Cades Cove. Pigeons Forge and Gatlinburg were within 40 minutes. The week between Christmas and New Years Day was very busy. Gatlinburg and Cades Cove were crowded. Great cabin! Thanks.

Best Sunrise View!
This was a beautiful location with the most outstanding view of the sunrise in the morning. Ideal location to go into GSMNP or Cades Cove, Wears Valley, or even in town to Maryville. The location truly is the peaceful side of the Smokies... pace is so much better than Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and Gatlinburg. Recommend Dancing Bear for coffee at Apple Valley. Elvira's in Wears Valley for lunch/dinner. Mountain Brothers General Store is our favorite for shopping. Davy Crockett for horseback riding in Townsend too. Enjoy your time & unwind!

Great views and lovely property
We really enjoyed our stay at Shady Maples Lodge! The house is comfortable and well-appointed. We had plenty of space to spread out. A favorite spot was the screened porch on the lower level - and the hot tub, of course. The day we wanted to go to the pool, it was unexpectedly closed, so we weren't able to check that out, but it's nice that it is an option for guests. The location is beautiful, though the road to and from the house is not for the faint of heart. We got the hang of it after a couple trips, and it didn't detract from our enjoyment of the house at all, but it did make it feel like more of a production to go anywhere because of the steep, winding road we had to traverse to get down to town. People accustomed to the mountains would probably not bat an eye, but it took some getting used to for my Midwest crew. All in all, it was a great spot with thoughtful touches and evidence of the owners' care throughout. We would definitely go back.
