A mountain stay
A clean, beautifully decorated one-bedroom apartment. It is perfect for a vacation for a couple, though driving to and from Gatlinburg requires navigating narrow mountain roads.

I loved this little place on top of the mountain. The view was nice! We actually lost power for awhile because of storms, but the town offered lots to do until it was fixed! We will be back!

Great stay in the mountains
My husband and I thought our stay at the condo was great! Although we weren’t expecting the drive up the mountain to it, it turned out to be a nice drive with some great views of the mountains and is only about 10 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg. The condo was very nice and clean and Gigi was super helpful and easy to work with!
