Amazing Family get-together
Family in town from all over the USA to visit the Smokies, some to re-live old memories and some for the first time. Easy access to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and local attractions in Wears Valley and Townsend. Also lots to do in the cabin when the weather was bad.

Family vacation
Overall, our family enjoyed their stay. The house was nice and we had plenty of space when we had to be inside due to rain. The air conditioning didn't work the first 2 days but it was soon repaired. I submitted to emails to the owners about the 10% discount for teachers, and 1st reponders but never got a response.

Epic Vacation
The location of this home is fantastic! Very central to attractions, tubing and hiking. The views from the home are amazing and we spent the evening on the porch watching the sunsets. Could not have been better for our family of 7 adults and 5 kids.

Comfortable sleeping for 12 senior women. Beautiful view of the Smokier with a great table and rocking chairs on the front porch. A word of caution. Make sure your car doors are locked and food wrappers, food and candy removed due to very smart bears.

Great Vacation Rental
Great rental for large groups. Secluded while still being close to everything. We seen Bears on the property several times during our stay. My only recommendation for large groups would be to bring extra towels for hottub.

Excellent Cabin and Location
We were a 2 family group with one returning to the mountains and 1 new to the mountains. This location was perfect, close enough without being in the mix, easy to get to PF or Gatlinburg. Townsend was very close which was great! We had one real issue that was responded to immediately and corrected within a day, excellent communication! Cabin size and features were as described and the hot tub and game room were a big hit. Loved the windows! Fireplace came in handy due to a cold spell that blew thru on our week. We were very satisfied with everything!

We had some amazing bear encounters which made the vacation quite memorable. There are fairly steep driveways, so be mindful of the vehicle that you drive to this location. Gary and Vicki were great hosts - very nice and quick to communicate. We had a very nice week.

Enjoying the scenery with family
This was an awesome home base for a family trip to the Smokies! We felt so lucky to enjoy the amazing view even while resting & relaxing between activities. The outside areas were great for enjoying some drinks or eating dinner, and the younger crew spent a LOT of time in the game room. The Amazing Memories team was very responsive & made our stay great!

Not worth the money
Location is nice. The house is outdated had mold in the bathroom. Told the property manager never heard back from him. Also, the showerhead had corrosion or mold on them as well. The cleaners did not get done cleaning the house until 11 PM. Therefore I lost the day and I feel like I should’ve been compensated for that and the mold because I wouldn’t let anyone stay in there also none of the lights outside worked he said that he will come back in the morning and get that taken care of never heard from him again...

Stay in the Mountains
We had a wonderful week in the mountains at this terrific property. We had a few minor issues. One issue being the check in and another issue being the hot tub. The property manager answered quickly and efficiently. Locations was perfect for getting to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. There were also shops near the house that were perfect for eating or browsing.

Amazing View
Beautiful home with ample space for big group get together. The kitchen had just about everything one needs. The driveway was intimidating to me but not my husband, he loved it. Overall this was an awesome place to stay. It was out of town, perfect getaway from the busy cities but short drive to activities and of course Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
