Mudpuppies is relaxing with a family-friendly atmosphere accommodating up to 12 people (maximum 8 adults), where you can unwind and connect with nature on the 3 cabin length covered decks. Situated in a neighborhood-style resort (not secluded), the cabin is near local attractions, restaurants, and Rocky Top Sports. One of the resort pools (open May - Sept) is walkable from the cabin; and a recreation area with a second pool, basketball hoop, swings, charcoal grills, and a reservable pavilion are a short drive to another area of the resort. Entertainment, new family memories, and nostalgia feelings are guaranteed with amenities like a pool table, shuffleboard table, arcades, and board games! Guest reviews tell our story best!

Gatlinburg Family Vacation
The cabin was wonderful and clean, well stocked kitchen. The bathrooms were gorgeous with great water pressure. The drive up is steep and parking is on an incline. Drive in to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg were both simple. Overall, we were very happy with our stay that included adults, teens, and children.

Lots of space!!!
This was our first family vacation which included our adult kids and grandchildren with a combined total of 10 people. We decided to rent a cabin in Gatlinburg and chose the Mudpuppies and Moonshine. The cabin was well stocked, clean and cozy with each family having their own floor to themselves. Itā€™s close to town with easy access to the main highway, attractions and the Artist District is about a 5 minute drive. April and Dave were prompt in responding to any questions or issues and were prompt in releasing our security deposit after inspecting the cabin. The check-in/out was a breeze. On the flip side, the cabinā€™s living room is a bit small to accommodate large gatherings, the entrance to the addition and parking were quite a challenge-not something any of us would want to do in inclement weather. Overall, the cabin has tons of room, the arcades, shuffleboard and bunk beds were a hit with the grandkids and the pool table and hot tub were fun for the adults.

Perfect for a multigenerational family trip.
We stayed in Moonshine and Mudpuppies Cabin with our three teenagers and senior citizen parents. The main floor was perfect for our parents with access to the amenities without the need for climbing stairs. The kids enjoyed the lower levelā€™s quietness so they could sleep late even with early rising grandparents along. The upper level game room was fun for all ages. With the openness to the main floor everyone felt together whether their energy level had them shooting pool upstairs or watching tv in the living room. All around everyone enjoyed our stay.

Great Location
Great location, very accessible to Gatlinburg, the national park, and Pigeon Forge. Very roomy cabin, plenty of space for our family of 10. Loved the game room! Not much of a view, but we did have multiple bear sightings from the back deck of the cabin. The roads in the resort are quite steep so be prepared to park on an incline. Cabins are close together, but we never felt closed in or bothered by neighbors.

Great Family Stay
My son got married so my family rented the cabin so we could be together. The cabin was excellent for a large group. Game room was fun. There is 1 BR on the main floor, perfect for my parents (no stairs). The upstairs bed room gets warm bc heat rises, but there is a separate unit to cool it. Owners were quick to respond with questions and issues. (Garbage full, light out over stove) Nothing major. The only reason this wasn't a perfect cabin was the hill to get to the cabin was very steep. Only 1 car had issues so we parked it elsewhere. All suvs were able to handle the road (Chevy equinox, Toyota Highlander, Jeep Cherokee, Ford expedition Max, Dodge Pick up, Honda mini van) People were giving rides, taking wedding stuff etc. 3 parking places for cabin is the limit as all cabins stayed full around us. I would def rent again. 3 generations and 1 Groom enjoyed the stay.
