Please be sure to clean up after them:) There will be an additional deep cleaning fee of $1000 charged if excessive pet hair, damage, or accidents require extra cleaning services beyond a standard turnover.

***Parking - As is common in the mountains, the driveway is steep though rarely causes problems. In case any ice causes the road to be too slick, there's a parking pad at the bottom of the driveway that you're welcome to use.

Great location for Dollywood and downtown pigeon Forge. Had a great time with family and friends there. Very accommodating. The driveway is a bit steep, especially when wet, but if you back up, it really helps. Great stay!

The property was great. Met all expectations for our family vacation with a group of 16. The rooms and layout were as pictured, the location was great, very short drive to downtown Pigeon Forge and right by Dollywood. It is right in the mountains, so definitely need to use caution for bears. We had a visit by a bear in the driveway within our first hour, so keep watch on the kiddos, especially if going to extra room, which is accessed from separate, outside entrance.
