Very much enjoyed our stay, the front porch is incredible
Sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying cocktail hour on that deck after hiking in the park was absolutely wonderful. Great spot to grill too. The deck faces east so you get the sunrise over the mountatins. The fire pit and hot tub are just icing on the cake and the pool table downstairs is great. It was a perfect home base near the quiet side of the park away from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
The only down sides, which really aren't a big deal, are the kitchen is stocked but missing some things that would really help like some tupperware or zip lock bags/aluminum foil etc. I also let the owner know about an animal that was in between the floors and running around now and then and some bees in the front deck and he said he would take care of all of that and responded very quickly to all my Qs (i try to have none). The wifi is also very slow, I needed to work a bit so plan on no zoom meetings as cell service is poor too. I think that should be mentioned in the description.
But overall the place is a bullseye if you are looking for a high end cabin, in a quiet spot with an amazing view near the Townsend entrance to the park. Just don't plan on getting any work done, which is the point of vacation.
