Great stay in the snow!
The house was exactly as expected. The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because the box spring of the bed in the loft was broken and pretty much unusable. We notified the property manager and they responded very quickly that it would be fixed the coming week.

Amazing Location
Excellent place to stay in the Smoky’s. Loved the deck and chairs to enjoy morning coffee or relaxing afternoons. Good central location to enjoy all the amenities. We had bear visits regularly. One even came up on the deck and peek into our cabin through the glass. We would have enjoyed more lighting on the deck in the evenings. Owner said it was a bad breaker, but electrician never made it out to repair. Other than that, a great place for multiple families.

Family Reunion
The directions to the property were very accurate. The driveway to the cabin was very steep! We couldn’t check in on time because the washing machine broke and flooded the floor, but they were working very hard to clean it up. They warned us about an active bear in the area and we did see one! The main floor a/c wasn’t working and they couldn’t get it fixed til the day we checked out. They gave us a partial refund which we accepted.

Not worth the money
Location is nice. The house is outdated had mold in the bathroom. Told the property manager never heard back from him. Also, the showerhead had corrosion or mold on them as well. The cleaners did not get done cleaning the house until 11 PM. Therefore I lost the day and I feel like I should’ve been compensated for that and the mold because I wouldn’t let anyone stay in there also none of the lights outside worked he said that he will come back in the morning and get that taken care of never heard from him again...

"Dirty and Unprepared—Disappointing Stay"
I was very disappointed with my stay at this cabin. When I arrived, the place was dirty and clearly hadn’t been cleaned from the previous guests. Even after contacting the owner, the cabin wasn’t cleaned until two hours after my scheduled check-in time. Although I was told the cabin would be ready by 3:30 PM, it wasn’t. The cabin itself is in need of a deep cleaning and proper maintenance. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place based on my experience.

Bears
Property has a resident bear, which was very cool. Caution if you have little ones, he did come up on porch as we were trying to load cars. Everything adequate. Property was surface clean, but badly needs a deep clean. Lots of dust on trim surfaces and under fridge. Beds were not all comfortable and some pillows were like laying head on a rock. Says games, but only games were on xbox, which we could never get to work, as well as tv in basement game area. Pool cue tips need replacing. Hard to play when cue chalk would not even stick to tip.

Family Reunion
Beautiful view from porches and many of the rooms. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cutlery, utensils, pots, keurig (did not use) toaster; did not find a griddle or fry pan for pancakes. Had 2 dinners at the house & 3 dinners out. House was not clean upon arrival, three housekeepers arrived around 5pm & were done in a couple hours. House could stand a deep cleaning - shower curtain bottoms & tub jets had pink mold; downstairs game area with bunk beds & laundry & 2 bedrooms air not quite as fresh. We used the outdoor hot tub👍. The outdoor gas grill was not cleaned & parts broken; the broken dishwasher was never fixed. There was a bad smell under the sink next to the dishwasher. One in our party scrubbed the plastic dish drainer & we hand washed dishes during our stay. We had brought a few extra dish towels. Overall we enjoyed our time in the house & the Smokies; we all saw one bear on the front porch (we were all inside the house already) & a couple of us saw a fox early the next morning. Appreciated the location near Townsend aka the peaceful (quieter) side compared to Gatlinburg. Made a number of trips into the Park as a whole family & in small groups. Many in our family used the pool a short drive away- which also offers a fishing pond for children & their family. Again overall we had a great time there.

Overall, our family enjoyed their stay. The house was nice and we had plenty of space when we had to be inside due to rain. The air conditioning didn't work the first 2 days but it was soon repaired. I submitted to emails to the owners about the 10% discount for teachers, and 1st reponders but never got a response.

Amazing Family get-together
Family in town from all over the USA to visit the Smokies, some to re-live old memories and some for the first time. Easy access to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and local attractions in Wears Valley and Townsend. Also lots to do in the cabin when the weather was bad.

great size home with private on suites
The best things about this property easy access not too far up the mountain. 5 bedrooms with private baths, that is hard to come by and was great for our family. The deck space was huge! we could even play cornhole. The kids enjoyed the games. The kitchen was well stocked and made it easy to prepare meals. The beds were very comfortable. the home owner was available for communication during our stay. The dishwasher broke and could not be repaired during our visit. We made the best of a bad situation, we cooked all meals. and washed a lot of dishes. The AC both work very well , however one zone froze up. we had to leave it off for a full day to un thaw. it started working again properly. I did mention that we were both fire fighters and I am also a Veteran. I was told I was eligible for the discount but the discount was not given. So.. if you really need the savings. Make sure that it will be given. I honestly was too busy to track it. The house smelled clean of bleach on arrival. linens, bathrooms, and kitchen were clean. overall could use a deep clean and the removal of dust from light fixtures, baseboards and so on. Turnover companies usually do not do this type of cleaning. Great house though! Gigi

Excellent Cabin and Location
We were a 2 family group with one returning to the mountains and 1 new to the mountains. This location was perfect, close enough without being in the mix, easy to get to PF or Gatlinburg. Townsend was very close which was great! We had one real issue that was responded to immediately and corrected within a day, excellent communication! Cabin size and features were as described and the hot tub and game room were a big hit. Loved the windows! Fireplace came in handy due to a cold spell that blew thru on our week. We were very satisfied with everything!

Stay in the Mountains
We had a wonderful week in the mountains at this terrific property. We had a few minor issues. One issue being the check in and another issue being the hot tub. The property manager answered quickly and efficiently. Locations was perfect for getting to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. There were also shops near the house that were perfect for eating or browsing.
