Overall nice, well kept, with plenty of things to do. Other than the fire pit, there is no flat ground anywhere near. Outdoor activities mostly required going elsewhere. The grandchildren loved the game room. The directions to get there a little too exciting. We found a different way that was much more friendly.

Amazing house with all the amenities you will need for all ages and interests. Great decor, hot tub, arcade game with over 60 games, pool table, fire pit, every appliance/kitchen need, great view of the mountains, quiet neighborhood, definitely clean when checking in. Parking can be a little tricky if you have more than 2 vehicles but it can be done. I definitely recommend this place for anyone trying to enjoy Gatlinburg and not having to worry about the accommodations of the house, They have it all!!!! If there are issues they are very responsive (within minutes) and very nice, professional and communicative. I’ll be back! Shelley is amazing!!!

Thanksgiving
We had 13 1/2 (one 7 months pregnant) stay and we had a wonderful time. Had the whole family together for Thanksgiving. Disappointed that the National Park was closed down and that there was a fire ban so we were unable to use the fire pit, but that was no fault of the cabin owners. The hot tub was great to enjoy in the evening instead. We would go back.

Beautiful Cabin In the Woods
The cabin was very spacious and perfect for our large family. We never felt cramped or uncomfortable, we had everyone from ages 1 year old to 70 years old and everyone was extremely happy. We enjoyed the game room and the firepit, the hot tub was a huge hit with the younger ones. The management team was incredibly responsive and the communication was amazing. We had a slight issue when someone from our party arrived early and the manager handled with extreme professionalism and grace. I will definitely stay here again!

Upstairs bathrooms needs remodeling badly and the pull out couches had mold stains on the mattresses, but the hosts were extremely fast,curious,and responsive to any issues. They're top notch and extremely professional. Would've been 5's across the board without the mold and upstairs showers. Would definitely go back.
