We absolutely loved our stay! The cabin was beautiful, comfortable, and the perfect place for our family trip to Gatlinburg. The location was amazing, especially if you’re hoping to experience the wildlife and everything this area has to offer.Phil was an excellent host — very responsive, helpful, and genuinely caring throughout our entire stay. We even had a pretty unforgettable bear encounter that turned into one of those family stories we’ll probably be telling for years! Phil was incredibly helpful throughout the whole situation.We left with so many wonderful memories and truly didn’t want our trip to end. We would absolutely stay here again and hope to be back soon. Highly recommend!

Very good cabin with great views. Host was very responsive and the cabin was very clean when we arrived. The checkin and checkout process was very smooth. Only drawback is with the 3rd bedroom. we have to exit the main door and go out to get to basement.

Beautiful views! Everything was exceptional and the cabin was perfect for our family. The hot tub stopped heating on our last night, but we were pretty tired anyway and enjoyed the nighttime mountain views. The host was very responsive when I reached out.We loved how close it is to Pigeon Forge and all the fun activities. The boys especially enjoyed the video games, movie room, and having their own space downstairs. Definitely worth it for the views alone — I would stay here again.

Our family of 5 adults had a wonderful stay at this cabin! The view was amazing. We enjoyed the hot tub and theater room, but most of all the balconies for bird and bear watching. The cabin was well-equipped and check-in was easy. We had no issues at all. There is no longer a fire pit, which was disappointing but we were entertained by several bears, one actually entering the neighbor’s car for snacks. LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS! The bears can definitely open them! Would highly recommend this cabin!

My family of five spent a long weekend here right before Christmas, and we had a wonderful time. The hot tub and movie area were huge hits with everyone. The location is perfect: close enough to be just 10-20 minutes from all the main attractions, yet tucked away for that peaceful Smoky Mountains vibe. This was our third year visiting the area around Christmas, and this property easily had the best views we’ve experienced so far. We’d definitely recommend it to family and friends!
