The view is Spectacular, it is Splendidly quiet at night. Clean and comfortable. Nicely appointed. Plenty of seasonings, coffee, and beginning necessities.

− It was too warm inside to sleep. The thermostat wouldn't go lower than 72° and the upstairs was consistantly 75°-78°over night. There was a portable air conditioner, however there was no exaust hose to vent the hot exaust outside. So could only use the fan function. The lower level stair rail was broken, as was the back of one of the dining table chairs.

Fun scenic sometimes frustrating

My husband recently deployed & I decided last minute to take our 6 daughters (infant to 16) on a getaway trip. This stay was beyond wonderful! This cabin was perfectly located between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg for us to easily get to all of the things we wanted to do! The owner was promptly responsive to any message I sent. I requested a “crib” as it was an option on booking. The owner messaged me to let me know they did not have one but would be willing to purchase before my arrival if needed. I did not see that message until after we arrived, and there was a brand new playpen waiting for us🥹 There is so much space in this cabin! 2 bedrooms with large beds and 3 pullout couches throughout the place. It was perfect for my kids to spread out! My kids loved the hot tub, pool table, air hockey, and fire pit. The view was beautiful. I noticed some one else’s comment about parking.. we brought both a mini van and full sized SUV and had no issues. Yes, it was slim and we had to park right in front of each other, but that seems to be the normal in these mountain homes. This was one thing that made me nervous reading reviews- but we had zero problems between me & my 16 year old driver. My top concerns taking a trip by myself with 6 kids (one being 8 weeks old) were safety, comfort, and cleanliness. This cabin met all of these expectations 😊

The Location was great. It was very roomy & comfy. The host was super responsive to messages & got things done when asked. Internet & tv options -excellent. We felt safe.

− The hide-away beds need better mattress. Stock more towels & wash rags. The entry way -had lots of leaves, maybe just keep those more clear.
