Fantastic!
The house and view are amazing! The parking is definitely limited and there is no street parking available. The last hill up to the house it probably at a 40 degree angle but the car made it up without a problem. Amenities and view are amazing. Hot tub was clean and clear. Game room and theater are wonderful. Stocked with games and puzzles as well.

Stay at Heavens Lidge
The cabin was beautiful. Kitchen was smaller than expected but we made do. The drive up was steep but we loved being at the top of the mountain except for some high winds one night. Had a bear at the front when we got ready to pack so that was a little excitement! Great place to stay.

Excellent property
We enjoyed our stay. All of the kitchen amenities were labeled. Things were very clean and orderly. The view was spectacular. We had 10 people and it worked out beautifully. Drive to and from the property up and down, the hill is a bit precarious. There are several areas with no guard rails. Could be a problem if it were icy. However, as long as the weather is not bad, it’s very doable.

Cheers to 75 Years
The listing did not let us down! The home was AMAZING! There were 6 couples of family members celebrating my husband's 75th bday! Each couple had their own room which were clean and comfy, although one queen bed did squeak every time the couple moved. Directions and how to's were very helpful. The rectangular outdoor fire pit on the ground floor did not stay lit for longer than a minute. The game room was awesome! Everyone enjoyed the pool table, the fusball and table top shuffleboard! Lots of laughs and memories were made. The dining room table was perfect for all 12 people. Highly recommend for family get togethers!

Joan, I'm so glad to hear that you had a blast celebrating your husband's big day at our place! It's awesome to know that everyone enjoyed having their own comfy space. We will absolutely look into that squeaky bed situation. Thank you for letting us know! Because of your feedback, we fixed up the fire pit, so next time you're here, you can enjoy those fires for as long as you want! And we're stoked that the game room was a hit – sounds like there were some epic matches happening. Thanks a ton for the shoutout and recommendation. Can't wait to host your next family gathering!

A beautiful location and perfect cabin!
This cabin was absolutely perfect for our combined family of 12! Everything was labeled so you weren’t playing guessing games trying to find what you need. Each bedroom felt like its own oasis with a tub and fireplace. The beds were very nice and the tubs in each room were large enough for an adult to soak comfortably in. Our kids loved the game room so much they hardly wanted to go to town and were always in a hurry to get back. Would highly recommend!

Christmas in the Smokies
The property is spectacular! My husband and I had our children, grandchildren and parents with us on this trip. Each of the 6 bedrooms allowed for superb comfort and privacy. It was truly a relaxing experience. Having the baby gates, high chair and pack-n-play was a great asset for us. The beds were very comfortable and the entire environment is warm and cozy. The kitchen was good but seemed small for such a grand cabin, but met our cooking needs. I mention the kitchen because I'm quite a foodie and used to run a catering business but for the average cook, it's more than enough. The only issue my family and I had was the location. The curvy roads got the best of those who suffer from car-sickness. We all were hesitant to go down or up the steep, winding roads to visit attractions or go go shopping. The accommodations are great but we have decided future stays will be somewhere with roads that don't require motion sickness medication. I will say the view is amazing! Would I stay here again? Probably not but only because of getting car sick.

10/5 Stars.. 5 Stars Isn't Enough
It is a really steep and curvy drive up the mountain, but it is 100% worth it. BEAUTIFUL place with BEAUTIFUL views. We all had a wonderful time, whether we were just sitting outside with the views, watching a movie together in the theater, or playing poker, pool, and shuffleboard. The rooms were gorgeous and there was plenty of space for everyone and everything. My sister in law lost/left her very expensive engagement ring at the property after checking out, and the manager was quick to respond and helped us get it back the next day. We hope to be repeat customers either at this location or any of their other properties. 10/5 stars!

Our Thanksgiving Cabin Vacation
The cabin has great views and is very spacious. However in my opinion the cabin needs work the furniture is old, the spa is not big enough if you have a lot of people there, and the road to get up to the cabin is very dangerous if you can make it at all. Don't be fooled the pictures on the internet are enhanced. Overall we did make the best of it and spent family time so that is a plus.

Gorgeous place
8 of us stayed here with family to celebrate Mom's 80th. We cooked in every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The kitchen is lacking for this much cooking. No spatula for flipping pancakes. No tablespoon. No sheet pan and no cake pans. We made do though as one does. We would have preferred to have foil, baggies, potentially some sugar, baking soda, condiments, etc. But we had to buy all this and then throw it away. We threw away over a hundred dollars of food and kitchen items which was sad because maybe the next guests would have liked to have some of these items. I understand the concept of leaving no food but having our own vacation rental we have found that giving people options to leave some staples can be helpful. The kitchen was only a one person kitchen and no ice maker. If there was any flaw to the house is was a small kitchen that wasn't stocked for a true cook and baker. The TV's could be hard to figure out and while taking out our kitchen food trash made sense, taking out all the trash in the house (6 bathrooms) seemed like a lot for us to do for the expense of house and cleaning fee. The balconies and views were amazing. The location was great. The house is well built and nicely decorated. We enjoyed the outdoor gas fire areas where we made s'mores. We enjoyed the grill, hot tub, and game room. The idea of having a bathroom on every bedroom was great and 2 vanities in some bedrooms also great. Showers and tubs galore! Overall a 5 star experience.

Thank you for all the amazing comments about the cabin! We do rely heavily on guest feedback. And although things like spatula's, sheet pans, and cake pans are provided, it seems as if they've gone missing! With your feedback, we were able to replace all of those kitchen items, so thank you again! We have heard of some vacation rental homes that allow food items to stay for future guests. From our experience, that can get quite messy and leave us with extra liability, hence why we've gone against leaving refrigerated food behind.

AMAZING!!
Well first let me start off by warning you guys about the road it is safe but definitely not for the faint of heart. There are just alot of gnarly turns and twist and sometimes you can't see what's in front of you until it is right there! The last turn into the house driveway is the worst but definitely practice extreme caution going up and down the roads. We were in a 15 passenger van and were still able to make it up and down the mountain without any issues also FYI it's best to park backwards on the driveway so it's easier leaving. The house is AMAZING and the view breath taking! The area is gorgeous alot of little creeks and forest. So so so much to do in the area it is a popular tourist location so expect typical heavy traffic and slow downs once in the city. The house has plenty to do and will keep everyone busy and having fun!! Game room & movie room was awesome! The hot tub is a plus and all the fire places were a nice touch! This was the best house and vacation we've taken thus far! 3 adults 9 kids and any issues we had were address quickly and professionally!! Rate this spot 5 out of 5!! Thank you so much!

Hey Roger! I'm glad you loved the location and that you found the cabin to be a beautiful place. We did notice your comment about a smell upon checkout. We inspected further, and found out that our septic tank lid, out by that side of the house, had come loose. We resecured that back on, so we should all set for your next stay! ;) Thanks again for staying with Heaven's Cabins!!!

Amazing View and Great Location
Loved our experience here. House was well stocked with everything we needed. You can’t beat the views from the property. We arrived on an evening following a snow storm and agree that having 4 wheel drive and/or snow chains is a must for reaching the house in those conditions. Once things dried up no issues with any vehicle making it to/from the house. Would definitely come again!

Pictures don't do it justice
The first impression when we walked in was, dang the pictures really don't do it justice. The cabin is gorgeous with incredible views. We cooked 3 meals a day for a week and never came up short for any utensils or cooking implements. Great hangout, just get all your food and drink ahead of time, there are no quick trips down the mountain to the store, the winding road ends onto a HEAVILY trafficked highway between pigeon forge and gatlinburg. But that's not the cabins fault, just a heads up.

The house definitely looks bigger in the pictures than in person. But overall it was a great family getaway & we enjoyed the home and the views. Some improvements- such as the towels provided are extremely worn out and some are stained & should be replaced. The movie room chairs middle row doesn’t work. Kitchen is very small and tight and the worst part was the floors have no insulation- you can here every step and every toilet flush. The home was clean and most of the furniture was in good shape. Overall a 4 out of 5 for our family getaway.

All my friends say this was the best cabin ever!!
We had a blast! Cabin location was amazing, just within 15min to Gatlinburg town center. Cabin has almost everything you need, all six bedrooms have restroom inside. Two fire pits were my fav!! Very clean and the bed was pretty comfy. There were two patios, one was covered and one was not, we had fun on top patio the first day, then we moved to covered patio the second day due to rainy weather.

Beyond Our Expectations
Our group of 11 college friends spent 5 days together here. The road up to the house is not for everyone but none of group had issues. The drive is well worth it for the beautiful views. The house is beautiful with a tremendous amount of detail to making it homey. The kitchen was the best stocked rental we’ve ever had. The outdoor deck areas were our favorites! The firepits were also welcome during the early cool mornings and the cool evenings. Having a large outside table big enough to accommodate all 11 of us was great as well.. Matt was very quick to respond to all of my questions. We highly recommend Heaven’s Cabins.

Fantastic guys' weekend!
This house is everything that was advertised and more. Every year my college friends and I get together for a weekend to hang out - and this house was perfect for the occasion. 6 bedrooms/baths was great for our group, but the common areas really put it over the top - the game room was awesome and the multiple TVs nearby and entertainment area allowed us to watch multiple college football games at once. The two outdoor decks were perfect. The top one had the grill, a huge table for lunch/dinner and a fire pit, all with awesome views (don't let some of the other reviews/comments about fire damage spook you - while you could see some tree trunks here and there as evidence of fire activity, you really, really had to look - we were outside for hours and you couldn't tell there had been any damage). What was a pleasant surprise was the second deck - a sitting area with another fire feature, chairs and a hot tub - and it was completely sealed off above so that when it rained on our second day, we could be outside and still covered (unlike some decks where water drips through the slats in the boards onto the level below). While the final turn up the mountain is indeed as hair raising as others mentioned, it is only the last 10 feet and once you do it the first time it is easy after that. We were close to all that Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park had to offer, but you still felt totally secluded 10 minutes up the mountain. Another pleasant surprise the weekend we stayed was the bear activity. We were warned in our welcome email, and saw the bear-proof garbage containers, but we weren't expecting to see a momma bear and her four cubs go alongside/under our deck THREE times in two days? They were never a threat from the porch, and we followed proper bear protocol at all times (never giving them food, watching when we took out garbage) and it was really cool to see them from just 10 feet up as they played around in the underbrush - it was a National Geographic quality experience. One final note - when we turned on the TV in the entertainment area we couldn't get the regular cable to work. I left a message on the VRBO app, and within 5 mins Matt reached out and helped me troubleshoot a solution. It was nice to know when there was a small hiccup, the property mgr was on top of it immediately. I highly recommend this property and would stay here again in a second!

Beautiful cabin in Gatlinburg
We rented this cabin for a family vacation. We had 11 folks total. A couple of kids, and 2 in their 80s. This beautiful cabin suited all of us. The views from either of the 2 balconies were gorgeous, and unobstructed. There was plenty of parking, and we fully enjoyed the hot tub, in room soaking tubs, and game room/theatre. The hosts left clear instructions for operating the hot tub and fire pits. Check in/check out was seamless. We had one small issue with the house during our stay, and the hosts dealt with it promptly. The only con was that some of the balcony railings were wobbly.
