When we first arrived the code we received would not work to get into the cabin. After about 30 minutes of calling and texting we received the correct code and was able to check in. The cabin looked to be clean, but there was evidence of mice throughout our stay, we notified the owners. This cabin is high on the mountain with no yard space to walk your dog, this should have been specified. There were a great deal of bear activity, with 5 different sightings during our stay and no working outside light. Also, there were no blinds or curtains on the front windows or side windows, so privacy was limited.

Great experience!

We had such a great time! We didn't want to leave. The property is up in the mountains, so we saw so many bears! There was even one on the back porch! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, except some washcloths for the kitchen, but there was a sponge. They had lysol wipes available, which was nice to have. The windowsills were not clean, you can tell they haven't been cleaned in a while. A vacuum would have been nice to have to clean the floors after eating. There is a broom and dust pan, but I'd prefer a vacuum for the rugs. I know spiders are to be expected, because you're in the middle of the woods, but some spider bombs would be beneficial, as there we're quite a few. The dining table was beautifully set up. The living room was so cozy. Loved the view of the outdoors from the master bedroom and the guest room. The back porch was lovely to sit on (bring bug spray though). The hot tub was hot and ready to go for us. The quilts on the bed were cute and the beds were pretty comfortable. Overall, we had a great experience!

We loved this rental. The deck was nice out back, we enjoyed having morning coffee before we started our day. Great location to see bear. We saw 4 in 2 days and they came right up the driveway to the side of the house. The game room was nice. The rental had everything we needed.

Wonderful stay

Really enjoyed this place. Loved being in the woods and seeing trees from every window. We saw too many bears to count during our week stay(none on the property but all around the neighborhood).My 12 year old really loved the hot tub, arcade game and air hockey. Location was perfect for all major attractions and much better than staying downtown.

Very nice and beautiful. We are always a family on the go during vacations, but I wish I would have had more time here to just spend at the house. Would come back again.

Nature Getaway - Saw Bears

This cabin was a perfect spot nestled in the Smoky Mountains forest. We enjoyed the balcony with the hot tub after our hike to Mt Leconte (30 min away). You get to enjoy the beauty and quiet of nature while still being close to all the stuff in Gatlinburg (10 mins) Everything we needed was in the cabin, we cooked all breakfasts and one dinner at the cabin (used the grill). Showers are awesome! Bed was too soft for our tastes, like sinking into a marshmallow and master room is open loft… I missed that in the description. Best surprise, we saw 2 bears at breakfast time. What a thrill!!

Perfect Long Weekend Getaway

We loved our stay at this cottage. The location is perfect, short drive to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We were hoping to see bears and were not disappointed. We saw 4 bears on two separate occasions while sitting on the deck. The cottage is super cute and cozy. It has all the necessities, including kitchen equipment and bbq. My daughter loved spending time in the hot tub and having breakfast on the deck. The ice hockey table was a nice touch and kept my daughter entertained. The cottage is at the top of some very steep roads, but our car handled it fine in the clear conditions.

Spring Break Tennessee Trip

The house was beautiful and was set up for family fun. We enjoyed the open concept and the games area. The kitchen had the tools we needed. We really appreciated being able to have our dog with us, and she enjoyed the cozy blankets that were there for her. The only thing that was unexpected was the steep drive up to the house. It would be helpful to have known more about that in the listing.

Great Stay!

The property was just as listed. It worked great for my husband, me, our 8 month old, and cat. We saw bears most of the days (and our neighbors saw them everyday), so if you are looking for bear sightings, this is your cabin! We really enjoyed being able to walk out of the cabin and straight onto Cove Mountain Trail - there’s a nice view in less than a mile if you go right. Close proximity to town and many other hikes. Very clean and well kept. We all enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic pet friendly house + bears!

Just loved this house. In my family, we call this one a “do again”. A review I saw said the hills here were extreme… maybe a little more than the average on the other side of ski mountain rd, but it wasn’t any problem at all, and by the second day i knew the path in and out. It’s got a nice trail in the national park across the street. Remember to keep your car doors locked! Our third morning, we had a bear on the deck and then he opened our car door and got in. Thankfully, he just left behind some dirt and no damage after checking out the back and passenger seats… so a good story, but could have been bad. Comfortable beds, and good pressure in the showers and good internet if you need it.

House in the woods

We enjoyed our stay, and we got to see a lot of bears! Note that this house is very high up, and requires driving on very steep roads. Plan on using Low gear when going down, or you'll burn your brakes up. Do be alert for bears, as they wander through periodically, especially in the morning. The house is small but well maintained on the inside. The outside could use some paint and other attention. Overall we had a great stay. Enjoy!
