Our family gathered at Laurel Creek Hideaway for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. We have never stayed here and had only judged it with the pictures online. Well, the pictures online do not do it justice. If you’re thinking of renting this place, there is nothing that I would change of this rental. 5 star rating behind every door you open. We hope to return many times.

Wonderful Family Vacation
This property was absolutely perfect for our family. We had Great-Grandparents, Grandparents, Parents, Adult Kids, Adult Grandkids, Great Grandkids (2 to 82) and 2 dogs for the week at this beautiful, well-appointed Laurel Creek Hideaway. We have vacationed for thirty years, using VRBO and I've never had a better experience. We spent the majority of our time at the cabin--there was something for everyone. We ate all our meals at the cabin, except for one (the kitchen was equipped with EVERYTHING anyone would need). Our vacation was full of memory-making moments with our family in this beautiful setting--such a blessing. Thank you to our hosts, Chris and Sarah. We hope to return and will definitely recommend to our friends.

Great place
We had plenty of room for all. We loved the rocking chairs on the porch listening to the creek and cicadas. Bean bags were a big hit with the boys, and the pool table. Everyone loved the hot tub. One thing to remember, driving is slow. Nowhere is a quick trip! Haha! This is a grest place to stay.

Privacy and peace in the Smokies
Laurel Creek Hideaway is beautiful and accommodates a family of 13 nicely with room to gather and space for individual interests. The hiking in the Smoky Mts was great. We were there at a busy time (early July), and the next trip will probably be in the fall. A bear visited the cabin on day #1 and several bears with cubs were seen on the hikes.

PERFECT Log Cabin
Absolutely beautiful! This place was exactly as described. Very spacious for our entire family. It had everything needed and more! Perfect location in the mountains. The house had plenty to do for the whole family. Most days we didn’t even want to leave and were content spending time at this beautiful place. The kids loved playing in the creek. We even saw a bear in our driveway. Communication was quick and prompt whenever I had a question. I highly recommend staying here!

An Epic Adventure for the whole Family
We all had an amazing time, from the 3 year old all the way up to the 64 year old. The activities in the house kept the young ones engaged while the adults enjoyed the covered porches. We even were able to use the fire pit one night and made a contest out of putting out the fire. Easy drive into Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Great for large groups. Kitchen well equipped.

Family Vacation
We had a wonderful week in Gatlinburg. The property was very nice and large enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. We did not know that it was so high up on a mountain and it did give anxiety to a few family members driving to and from the home. We also watched several times daily for bears and were so disappointed that we never saw any.

Room to gather
Lots of rentals have enough bedrooms for extended family vacations, but this house also has exceptionally gathering space. The living room is massive with tons of seating. We had 8 adults, a baby and two dogs and this house could not have been more perfect. Tons of space, fully stocked kitchen and very convenient to town. Would stay here again with no hesitation. Highly recommend!

Perfect family cabin
The cabin itself was beautiful. Very large and the perfect size for all of our family members. We were also able to bring our dogs which made things even more accommodating. Chris was very quick to respond to any questions we had prior to the trip. We had a few minor issues with some cleanliness of the cabin. There was pet hair left on one of the beds and the sheets, and we found miscellaneous items that a prior guest must have left laying around and the cleaners never picked up. The Jacuzzi water had the smell of mildew, so it didn’t quite seem like it had been cleaned prior to our arrival or chemicals may have needed to be added. Unfortunately we could not enjoy the fire pit due to fire restrictions and then some rainy days. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything that we needed. The kids loved playing in the game room. My only suggestion would be that the cleaners pay a little more attention to detail. Overall, the cabin was perfect for our family.

Wonderful family adventure!
We booked our stay months ahead of time, so anticipation was high! From the moment we got there to the minute we left, Laurel Creek Hideaway met our every expectation! It was as if LCH was built for our unique family. Communication with the owners was excellent and prompt for questions ahead of time, but with written explanations of the running of the home and more than adequate essentials provided, there was no need for us to bother them during our stay. The location of the cabin is perfect to visit Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We wouldn’t change a single thing, and the talk of another visit next year has already begun!

Beautiful Mountain Cabin!
Laurel Creek Cabin is the most beautiful cabin I have stayed in! Chris and Sarah are awesome hosts. Any questions we had were answered in minutes from asking. We had a mini family reunion there and the cabin had plenty of space for adults and children to enjoy. The kitchen is large and well equipped and has a large table for dining. The main level porch is filled with rocking chairs and is a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the cool mountain air. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large and comfortable. If you’re looking for a nice private retreat in the mountains, this is your cabin!
