We had a great stay at the cabin. There wasn’t anything that we needed that wasn’t available. We ate in quite a bit and there were plenty of pans and utensils for cooking. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of blankets for the extra sofa bed downstairs! Pat and Sofia are quick to respond if needed as well! Overall a wonderful experience! We even had a bear right up on the front porch! My daughter said it was the best trip of her life.

Overall we loved staying here. If you're wanting to spend time in the park the location is prefect - the park/Gatlinburg/ Piegon Forge are all easily accessible. For being in the woods, this cabin was fairly clean, some crumbs/dirt were present upon arrival, but bugs and critters were not a problem inside the cabin. Something to consider is the driveway to enter the property is VERY steep. I have a F-150 and without getting a good run at it I needed four wheel drive to get up the driveway. If your vehicle has low ground clearance rubbing on your way out could be an issue. Overall the cabin was great and our young family had a great vacation.

This cabin has so much going for it.Pros:- Great layout with main living space on first floor and entire second floor as main bedroom- Laundry and kitchen well stocked (although not a single seasoning or oil, even salt and pepper, were there. We shopped for groceries and ate in several times. Fridge ice maker works!)- Bed had cushy topper some people may love but we removed it and found the mattress very comfy on its own.- Hot tub available on deck- Driveway has 2 spots, enabling you to turn around for ease of exit.- Beautiful area on the mountain with sunrise views if you walk up and down the street. An obstructed view is visible out of the upstairs bedroom.- TVs worked well and had cable networks as well as streaming.Cons:- Humidity in the cabin was above 80% our entire stay, which owner says is normal in the area so we can't fault them. It was just challenging that our boots wouldn't dry after getting wet during a rainy hike.- Sheets were synthetic, which we find makes it difficult to regulate body temp and get a good sleep. Would have preferred cotton or at least notice so we could have brought cotton sheets.- Driveway is super steep (standard for the area) and even our SUV labored to get up but we are also not accustomed to this steep of a slope. The roads leading to the cabin are also windy with blind hills and steep drop-offs on the sides. Say your prayers and cross your fingers. :) We were still happy to avoid the congestion of downtown Gatlinburg.

The property looks exactly like the photos online. Our problem with the property is that the hot tub is back off in a corner with spiderwebs everywhere but, eventually I tried it, and only two of the jets things work and it was some type of flim in the water, which, I didn't see until I turned on the light. Going on the inside there was a dead bug in the refrigerator and two of the burners were not working on the stove. Going upstairs to the jacuzzi it was a nightmare my husband turned it on and a lot of black stuff shot out, I'm glad I wasn't sitting down in it. Then there were mouse droppings on the bed and in the bathroom. We actually seen him run under the door. My husband and I looked at each other and was like "did you see that." The driveway is crazy but to the owners credit she did mention it was steep. My anxiety was through the roof dealing with this driveway. And then we left on the 2nd day and upon returning the code wouldn't open the door smh. Reached out to the owner and she apologized and had us open it manually. More steps for us to be able to get in, which I will not disclose. Maintenance never showed up. So, in conclusion the money spent for the amenities was wasted on this property. Because of the owners quick response to my text and the property looks just like the pictures online I'm giving 2 stars. Hopefully I will be able to upload some pictures later.

Great Basics but Reluctant hospitality

This is a hard review to write because the overall design of the house is lovely and comfortable. The upstairs suite is especially inviting. The location is excellent for those wanting to use the national park.But there were some very off-putting things about the house that led us to feel that the owners really didn't care about the rental or welcoming visitors. Few were big but added together it was irritating.Some things just didn't work. The front burner on the stove didn't function, The bathtub spa upstairs had jets that didn't work. The hot water heater couldn't deliver enough hot water to do more than warm your feet. Some things just felt penny-pinching. There were only 2 table knives and a few forks. The knife set was terribly dull. There was absolutely nothing stocked i the refrigerator or cupboards. No type of cooking oil, spices, or even waters. Bare bones. Even the coffee supplies consisted of exactly 1 filter for each day we stayed and three dreadful coffee packets that were supposed to be for 4 but really made only 2 cups if you wanted more than brown water. Not even salt and pepper. I couldn't find the hair dryer anywhere and contacted the host twice with no replies. We DID have a reply early when I lost the key code directions from my phone and she did reply immediately for which I was grateful. The driveway which is mentioned in the descriptions is truly STEEP.. We have 4wd and had to back up and try it again at least twice. It was concerning.

Excellent cabin (if you don't mind steep driveways)

This was our second time to stay here and we couldn't have been more pleased. The fact that there are two woodburning fireplaces is what keeps us coming back. The location is fantastic also. The hosts were very quick to respond to our needs during our stay, so we will definitely be back again!
