Great place!
This was a great house to stay in. It was very clean. The host was very responsive to any questions I had. It is in a great area and easy to get to Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Gatlinburg and driving through the Smoky Mountains. It was very nice having a pool and clubhouse to use. Would definitely recommend this place and we would stay there again!

Overall great place to stay would go back
There were only a few minor things we had issues with while at the property. The first is it is a gated community which is no problem but we were not informed of this initially so we were a little confused. We figured out after a few minutes that the door code for the house was used as the gate code. The house was very clean the only downsides were there were a few burned out light bulbs and the smoke detectors downstairs were unplugged from the ceiling and the showers did not drain well. Overall we enjoyed the stay and had a great holiday and the owner responded to any communication within 30 minutes or less. We would definitely go back.

Great Location close to the Tourism, but far enough to not have to deal with the daily traffic
This was an absolute fantastic location. It sits about 26 - 30 minutes away from the main tourist strip. The community pool is visible from the front porch and a quick 2 minute walk. The house was roomy, clean, and had everything we could need. I think weve found our go-to vacation rental for our annual trips!
