The decor was my style - loved the bears and cabin decorations! A couple minor cleaning details: The top of the frig needed cleaning before I could put things up there for a place to keep them until needed. Most people probably would not look under the bed, but I had a tennis ball roll under there when I was exercising my feet, and it was pretty dusty. We also were a little worried we would run out of bathroom tissue, but we didn't. An extra roll would have been nice to alleviate the concern. A couple of new kitchen towels would also be nice. We appreciated the Folger's coffee grounds that were provided. We enjoyed our stay there, and the surrounding area. We saw 59 bears during the week - mostly in Cades Cove! We went to Cades Cove every day of the week. We even saw a mama bear and three babies. They were fun to watch! We also saw lots of turkeys, a few squirrels, some deer, a bunch of crows, and a pretty falcon. Thanks so much for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountains!!

Convenient location and the host communicated with quick response.

Best location for what we had planned. Only about 10 min drive to smoky mountain national park, about 15 mins to Pigeon Forge, and only an hour and 10mins from Knoxville airport (TYS).We have already talked about coming back to this exact location in the future! And to top it off the back porch is perfect for sipping coffee and watching/listening to the creek during breakfast. It’s so great. Quit searching. This is the place for you!

The condo was perfect and exactly what we needed! The space was well equipped, clean, and cozy. The mountain and stream made the venue picturesque. We would 100% stay here again.
