Very nice accommodations
Plenty of space for the 4 of us. Nice little kitchen setup and the view from the deck cannot be beat! We are first timers to the Smokies and were very pleased overall. We didn't see any bears, my kids were disappointed. We didn't catch any fish in the fishing pond. We did catch lots of souvenirs, a full day of Dolly and a mountain coaster (Goats is the best one, IMO). The location was further from Pigeon Forge than I thought but after making the drive two or three times it didn't seem that long. The drive from the main road to the house is STEEP. It's a 10-12% grade with switchbacks. Parking was great and the turnaround at the house was essential. Overall very quiet. Cons: there was no hairdryer, and the kitchen was so full of mugs and random glassware there was no room to put our groceries and food. Also, as others have said, the exterior of the cabin is in need of repair. The interior is exactly as pictured and the new carpet downstairs was divine-so fluffy and clean! We didn't use the hot tub (no time) but did wash our clothes before we left, which makes re-entry at home so much easier. The game room was a nice touch for the kids to unwind/spread out. The only thing we were missing was wifi. Everything else was stocked and plentiful. Lots of towels, blankets and kitchenware. Word of warning: we put a kid in the main level on-suite and he locked himself out. The keyed-lock doors lock from the bedroom, not the bathroom side, but we were able to call mgr and get back in.
