Fantastic location
I am so glad we stayed here. The location was perfect! I had 3 kids with me and the game room was a game changer! After a long day hiking or exploring when I wanted to sit in a comfy chair and relax the arcade, karaoke machine, air hockey etc kept the kids busy while I relaxed by a fire. We allowed the kids to watch some extra TV and it was perfect having kids shows on the game room TV and whatever we wanted to watch in the main living area. The layout is perfect for knowing what the kids were up to while I made meals. The dining area is not as crowded as it looks in the picture. Absolutely planning to book here again in the future. It was so peaceful. One of us worked remote from the bedroom with the bunk beds a few days and the WIFI was fast- lots of meetings and no issues at all with video quality. My only regret is not staying longer.

Amazing
We loved our stay at this cozy cabin with the family and even our fur baby. The owner pretty much thought of everything to have at the cabin if you needed something. For the fur babies there were towels, beds, bowls, and crates. There were extra blow-up mattress and linens. It was very clean and cozy. Our family loved the game room and the living room, it's where we spent most of our time when we were there at the cabin. The kitchen was also amazing stocked with everything. The owner even provided a huge bowl up different K cups for coffee. We definitely would stay here again had an amazing time loved every minute of it.

Wonderful holiday week
Andrea's home is clean and so comfortable. We enjoyed lazy mornings by the fire before a quick drive into town. We always look forward to returning to the hideaway in the evening to unwind. We cooked a full Thanksgiving meal and had everything we needed and the kitchen. Andrea was great about keeping in touch during the week.

Our Fall Break wont stay here again.
The house itself was good. The cleanliness was not that good. I found a sheet of fried chicken in the oven, left by the last visitors, that was molded! The hot tub was in a whole in the back. it was not easy to get in. The game room was the best part of our stay, we all enjoyed it. The beds were comfy.

Perfect Family Vacay Home
This home was perfect for our family stay. You can tell the owners were very thoughtful in all the extras they have available, fully stocked kitchen, pool/ jacuzzi, towels, supplies for your furry friends, even a couple different crate for them to stay comfortable in. Our kids also loved the game room. It was where we spent a lot of time when at the home. The area is a quiet escape, which is just what we needed. The landscaping outside is so well done making great space of the outdoors. I also can’t say enough good things about the responsiveness of the owner. You won’t be disappointed in staying here.

Perfect Vacation at The Hideaway
My family of 6 plus a pup just returned from a week long stay at The Hideaway. We loved this home! The cleanest and most well stocked VRBO we’ve ever had. The host is excellent and checked in with us after our first night to make sure everything was as expected. We cooked, played games, watched movies and had a wonderful phone free week together. Highly recommend this home.

Excellent Rental - Amazing Gameroom!
What a perfect rental this was for our family! The rental makes use of every inch of space it has. We used all 3 bedrooms and spent lots of time in the Gameroom during the evening, and even in little 15-minute increments between going places - it kept people off their phones, a happy consequence! The kitchen is well-stocked and the eating area is more spacious than you might think from the photos - we had a nice pasta meal one night. The rental was clean and nicely decorated with a modern cabin feel. The location of the rental allows you to be close to Gatlinburg but out of the craziness of the strip - something we valued. It is about a 15-minute drive to Food City and the liquor store, about a 25-minute drive to the entrance to the Park, and quite close to the artists' loop. All the roads in Gatlinburg are winding and steep - including the road to this cabin. The driveway is also steep and does require you to back down to leave. It is manageable. There is room for two cars. We did have a larger dog with us, and there was not much level land, but there was enough for her to find a space. Andrea was a great host. She communicated promptly with me before arrival and was very attentive to our needs once we arrived, checking to see that all was well after Day 1. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

House was beautiful. Kids enjoyed the game room. They love all the big tvs in each room. The dryer went out while we were staying there and the host got it fixed that day. Was so easy to deal with. Great location. Would stay here again.

2023 Spring Break Trip
This property was perfect for our stay in Gaitlinburg. It was close to the downtown area of Gaitlinburg, and just a short drive to the attractions in Pigeon Forge. The home was clean, updated, and offered many things to do if you just wanted to have a relaxing day at the house.The hot tub was a hit with our kids, and the game room was an added bonus. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need to prepare a meal. We were also happy to see a pack n play available when we arrived, as we left ours at home. Our host was responsive and kind throughout our stay! Yes, the driveway is steep, but not unmanageable. Our preference was to back in and drive out of the driveway, rather than drive in and back out. Our only regret was not staying longer, there is so much to do in this area.

The house was perfect! The house had everything we wanted/needed and was very comfortable and clean! My 3 adult children couldn’t wait to get back to the house everyday to enjoy the game room and hot tub! Andrea was a perfect host - there if needed, but not overly “present”.

Perfect.
We hate the endless sea of people, madness, hustle and bustle of staying in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge but we have also had negative experiences booking cabins that were TOO remote, too high in elevation making it stressful for basic usage. This Hillside Hideaway was absolutely perfect because it was happy medium. Paved nice road right to the doorway but perched up probably 30ft you get great views and honestly in 4 days we didn’t see anyone yet if I needed to run to the store the property is just a couple minutes off of the main road. It’s about 15min away from a main grocery store (there are closer markets but very limited in items and hours of operation) so just be sure if arriving late like we did you stop beforehand and pickup stuff you want to be sure to have on hand for that 1st night/morning to ensure you don’t miss out on that morning cup of coffee like I did! 😜 Game room was a huge hit. Loved seeing my family playing together there for hours. Really a cozy great little place that you will enjoy!

Terrific cabin for family fun vacation - highly recommend
Fantastic experience at this cabin. We had 4 adults and 4 kids aged 10 months - 11. Cabin was very clean, nicely decorated, great amenities and good amount of space for 3 families and 3 generations. The hot tub was fantastic and easy to use. Hostess is incredibly responsive and helpful. We wanted a cabin out of the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge but an easy drive to Dollywood and this rental did not disappoint. We also saw a black bear walk through the yard and keep heading down the mountain, which was very exciting! Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It is an older ranch-style home that has been beautifully remodeled. Our teenage children especially liked the gameroom area. We also really enjoyed the new hot tub. As other reviewers mentioned, the driveway is steep and parking can be difficult if you have more than one vehicle. Good communication by owners on check in/check out process.
