I’ve lost count at the amount of times we have stayed at Cedar Creek. Like an old friend, it always welcomes us with open arms. Not sure what else to say other than this place just feels like home. Thank you, Suzette for sharing your wonderful home with us once again. It was another fantastic week!

Awesome house for all ages! My family and I stayed here for a long weekend for a wedding that was in town and it was perfect for the occasion. We had six adults and 5 kids aged 4 and under. Loved that there were safety/baby gates for the stairs and plenty of toys and games for all. Stunning views from the front deck!

Location is perfect - close to the National Park entrance or a short drive to Pigeon Forge. The kids love playing in the huge gentle sloping yard. The cabin has everything we need and lots of space for our family gathering of 10. We love the amazing mountain view from the porch swing! We come back every year!

This is our 3rd year staying in the cabin & it is perfect for us. The cabin is always clean with plenty of supplies. It's close enough to town so it's not bothersome to run in if we need something or want to go to dinner. Suzette is a fabulous host. She is extremely quick to respond to messages. This cabin is so comfortable. We feel at home here with plenty of space. We love sitting on the front porch (especially in the mornings) watching the clouds lift from the mountain). Very peaceful!

Just as advertised. Centrally located despite being very scenic. Great for our 16 month old granddaughter with sturdy gate on the stairs, pac and play and high chair on site. Plenty of room for 7 adults with living area and bedrooms both up and down so the early birds didn't disturb the night owls. Dining for 10 and huge well kitchen stocked with everything we even thought about needing. Kitchen on the second floor so probably not good for people who can't climb staira unless they want to remain on the first floor but perfect for us. I highly recommend this property.

Wonderful place!

We greatly enjoyed our stay here! The house was clean and had lots of space. We enjoyed the fuseball table and ping pong table downstairs. The kitchen is nicely furnished with a big table to fit our group. The view out the front door is breathtaking and I enjoyed driving coffee in the rocking chairs on the porch in the mornings. We would come back to this house!

Nice yard but landscaping needed a lot of work. House fit our needs but a lot better effort needed to be made toward upkeep; mouse droppings, ants in honey container and general freshening areas. Appreciated the thicker nicer towels, extra pillows and supplies ( paper towels, toilet tissue, travel bottles of shampoo/conditioner) so we did not have to use our own.

This is my family’s favorite place to stay during our annual family reunion. It’s stocked with all the cooking equipment we need, there are games for kids and adults, the house is clean, beds are comfy, and there’s room to spread out. And the view! I can’t express how it goes straight to my heart! It feels like coming home when we stay here.

Over the years this has been our go to place for our trips to the Smokey Mts. This is the perfect place for families as the way the house is set up. The porch has one of the premier views in the Smokies.The location is perfectly situated for those who want to go to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg or even better for avquick trip to Townsend.Our family spent a lot of time at the swimming pool while others spent their time hiking.Our host has bent over backwards accomodating our every need.Our stay was probably summed up best by our 3 year old grandson crying and saying I like this house I don't want to go home.

This home worked great for our group of 10 people. We felt at home here and loved the location, amenities, offerings and layout of the home. The internet/apps on the TV were a little slow/laggy at times but that was the only minor inconvenience. We would absolutely stay here again if we were ever in the area!
