Nice stay!
Great stay and clean. Parking is tricky on the incline though but I’m sure that’s with a lot of the houses in this mountain area. Would stay again.

Awesome property
Awesome house in mature wooded area. A picture in the unit says it was built in 1970, but it's been recently updated and very modern inside. Hot tub was nice. View was awesome, we think it was Mt LeConte. Definitely a lot of bear traffic, they left us alone, we watched from a distance. Probably a 5 minute drive to the strip.

Great time!!!
The house is on a bear trail meaning there is a show at least twice per day! We had so much fun watching a Momma and her baby saunter by every morning and afternoon. That being said, the host is not joking when he says to LOCK YOU CAR! House is clean and spacious, with everything you would need. We had to contact Alan (host) about a pool key that was misplaced and he responded immediately. The driveway can be daunting, but once you get used to mountain living it is a non issue. Great trip!!

Great location but house needs cleaning
The inside of the house was great. Very clean. Outside needs to be power washed to get rid of cobwebs. Also, the deck needs a good washing and restaining. Even though had issues with a few appliances, owner was great in getting them fixed. The bedspread of one of the downstair bedrooms needs to be cleaned. Saw stains on it. Also the bedspreads need to be thicker. Was cold at night. Location was great, but a bit tricky to get up driveway since steep slope.

Bear sightings
We truly enjoyed our stay. It was on point from what the listing said. The view was beautiful and peaceful. We got to see a bears daily all around the cabin. Make sure your not like the neighbor and listen to them when they say keep your trash picked up and locked up. The bears will go around your vehicle as well. We absolutely loved it !

Perfect Spot!
We loved the area! It was quiet (except for when the car alarms were going off because of the bears, lol), but close enough to town to be able to enjoy everything that Gatlinburg had to offer. Please remember to lock your cars! We were greeted by a mama bear and her cub within 45 minutes of us unpacking. She did actually open the car door and climbed in! Definitely a highlight of our trip since there was no damage done. We did encounter an issue with the dishwasher. Alan was quick to respond when we contacted him. We enjoyed all of the amenities of the property and it was perfectly suited for our family of 4. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Close to downtown
Nice clean cabin, close to downtown Gatlinburg. Lots of bears in the area. Driveway was a little steep which made it challenging to park.. emergency brake kept engaging when trying to reverse up the hill. Each room had king size beds, which was great..could use a mattress topper to make a little softer. All in all…we had a great stay.

The property is beautiful and exactly as pictured. We did have an issue accessing the door but this was resolved within minutes. Just as a side note, we did have a bear visitor try to get into the vehicle while we were addressing the door issue. I would recommend that you keep your car doors locked at all times.

Smoky Mountain getaway
We really enjoyed our stay. With three generations staying in one place it worked out great for everyone to have separate places to be while still being together. The view was spectacular! One suggestion would be to add two floor lamps in the living room to provide better lighting for reading at night. Wonderful vacation!

Nice property. Respectably remodeled. Very close (3 min to the gate) to Ober Mountain for skiing. This was one of the cleanest properties I've ever stayed in. No stray hairs laying around, no dust or hair in the corners. No dust, fingerprints or streaks on anything. Base boards were clean. Floors had no marks or streaks. Plenty of pillows and blankets. Good base pantry items. Owner is very responsive. The view from the front porch was great also!

Xmas in Tennessee
Great stay cabin was perfect. Great weather Saturday and Sunday. Xmas day 70 mile winds, touch and go at times. Easy ride to downtown. Loft was perfect when folks wanted to do different things or watch different shows. Hot tub was perfect as well, chlorine holder could be replaced, kitchen was well stocked and screened in porch off kitchen was a nice little addition for kitchen. We also saw 4 black bears around our cars the last evening.
