Views, Hot Tub & Family Fun Private Smoky Mountain Escape!

Great property!!!

Our family of seven (kids ages 5 - 16) had such a wonderful time here. The cabin had every amenity! We even packed our own muffin pan to make breakfast muffins, but - no need! :) The kitchen is well-equipped and the family room, too...So many games to amuse kids of all ages. We appreciate that you all thought of EVERYTHING. The cabin was immaculate as far as cleanliness goes, and it was even tastefully decorated for the season. The view from the cabin and the quiet neighborhood were key to our family taking a break and gaining some respite and quality family time. This was our first trip to the Smoky Mountains, and we had such a wonderful time that we hope to return again next year. Thank you, Tim & Patti!

Overall the cabin and location is nice. Too many people overlook the little things but I don’t. A smoke detector was chirping when we got there so I removed it off the mounting plate and it was over 23 hrs old and the battery surely hasn’t been changed in awhile. I did notify the property owners about this and they were willing to stop by with another battery but also stated they were getting a new wireless system in about a week. One BIG thing I noticed which may not bother some folks is the bathroom on the main level is a shared “Jack n Jill” bathroom and that is NOT noted anywhere in the listing and the photos are taken in a manner that doesn’t allow you to know this set up. The problem is a couple of our friends stayed with us and not being family made it a bit more uncomfortable for privacy reasons. If I would’ve known this it may have changed my mind to book this cabin with friends going. The cabin is dated from original equipment with cabinets, faucets, old mildewy caulking around the upstairs bath, main floor bath faucet that desperately needs replaced, a kitchen cabinet/tops upgrade and the two main floor mattresses need immediate replacement not to mention a good coat of lipstick on the exterior of the place. This may seem to be harsh by some but if you’re going to ask me my opinion for a review then I’m going to be quite honest about it. If you want top dollar rental fees then I expect the same in condition and function. Sorry for the brutal honesty.

Stayed for a week in the cabin, check in and communication from the hosts was A1. Property location is excellent being 5 mins from pigeon forge parkway and 20 mins from gatlinburg. Loads of attractions in the local area. Saw 6 bears at cades cove, some deer, wild turkey, horses etc. loads of mountain coasters for adrenaline junkies. Anakeesta well worth a visit too. Our time passed by so quick. Would definitely recommend this place. 5***
