Perfect location!

The location of this house was perfect for the various activities that all family members wanted to participate in! Private bathrooms for each bedroom was definitely a plus as well as balcony doors from each room to view Gatlinburg!

Great family vacation

Absolutely loved this home. The concierge service was a great addition. We would absolutely stay here again. We have stayed in other homes that did not live up to the online expectations. This home was wonderful in every way! No home is perfect, but I was very happy with the upkeep in general and the amenities provided.

Amazing

We stayed at this property with 4 other couples. Every bedroom, except 1, had a king size bed which was important to our group. Also, every bedroom had its own bathroom and fireplace. I would definitely stay here again. Hope to bring my whole family someday, as it is kid friendly. My grandkids would love the game room. Great view of Gaitlynburg.

Annual May Gatlinburg trip

This house is huge. It is perfect for big families. Parking is only for 4 vehicles. The dryer went during our stay and they had a new one installed the very next day. They were very attentive and addressed any issue right away. It is very close to Gatlinburg. Definitely will stay again!!!

Annual Family Gathering

We had a great stay with 7 families, parking was a little tight but location was great. The cabin layout was great. We did have a surprise as we were unloading, a bear showed up and was sniffing the back seat of P/U truck but luckily we were able to get him to move on. He came back the next morning and crossed teh street to scale the mountain. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a large cabin.

Really Gem place in Gatlinburg.

This Cain is amazingly situated right in downtown Gatlinburg overlooking some of the best view of mountains and city. Cabin is very spacious, well laid out and stocked well with all the essentials. Only reason I want to give 4.75 stars because the kitchen and bathrooms cabinet are little dated and needs some TLC or replacement. AvantStay staff and property manager Josh was so helpful and responsive for any issue. Thanks

Living in Luxury

Our one week stay at Hickory Ridge lived up to our high expectations. The large cabin accommodated our group of family and friends very comfortably. The views of Gatlinburg were wonderful, could even hear the music from the porches (although it did not disturb with the doors closed). We were close enough to the town to get there quickly but also enough distance to be away from the hustle of the crowd that busy holiday week. The few small issues we had were resolved quickly with friendly communication from a team of helpful Avant staff. Overall, I’d highly recommend this lovely location, especially for those with a large group. Thanks for everything!

Annual Family Vacation

Our family had the best time during our stay at this house. It was large enough to accommodate our whole group and everyone had their own bathroom! A huge plus. We loved seeing black bears on many afternoons and evenings. The concierge service was excellent. Any request was taken care of promptly and very easy to reach. Location was the best! At first we thought the 5 minute drive up the mountain was insane with the narrow winding road but after a few times up and down it was no problem. The house was fully stocked with lots of towels and kitchen accessories. So much to do in the area. We highly recommend this house!

Fabulous home for large group

This large and comfortable lodge is ideal! It is exactly as pictured and described, and the property management company is exemplary. Every question or request to them was answered promptly and any concerns immediately addressed. The property itself is amazing, with exceptional views of both Gatlinburg and the Great Smokey Mountains. We spent a week relaxing and enjoying both the property and the surrounding areas. Kitchen is well equipped (at least 30 coffee mugs, as an example), beds are comfortable, linens of good quality. Every bedroom has its own private full bathroom, plus two powder rooms adjacent to common areas. The balconies were delightful with plenty of chairs and side tables for relaxing. The outdoor rocking chairs are so comfortable, we all wanted to bring a couple of them home with us! I highly recommend this fantastic home as a gathering place for family and friends.

Beautiful 🤩

Absolutely beautiful cabin! Right at the Gatlinburg strip which made everything SO convenient. All the rooms were a great size and had king beds and private bathrooms which was perfect. The beds could be a lot more comfortable but they weren’t the worst. We saw a bear multiple times while there and it even slept on our balcony one day which was cool. The whole house was stocked with what you would need and expect. It was nice having a box fan or tower fan in every room, and the upstairs stayed so cold it was perfect. The wi-fi wasn’t slow and It was nice having a roku to log into my own stuff and watch what I wanted!

More than expected

The house was perfect for my family coming from all different states. Rooms were very spacious and bathrooms in every room was extremely convenient. All of the needed amenities were there and in abundance. I only had to call to see about a mixer and that was only because the kitchen is so large I couldn’t find it. We asked for baby items items (humidifier, baby gates, 2 high chairs) that normally would not be provided and they made sure they accommodated all of our requests. The house , property, and management company exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend this house for anyone wanting to accommodate large families.

Good Location, Great Layout

I had my large family stay here for a birthday/retirement celebration. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom, as well as a couple extra bathrooms throughout the house I wasn’t expecting! The location was super close to all of the Gatlinburg action. Very convenient for a group wanting to get into town easily and quickly. The road is a little intimidating, but very doable. We were able to park 7 cars in the driveway with a little engineering. Do not leave even your empty cooler outside. A bear took ours and broke into it. We found it up the road. We weren’t even mad. Kind of excited and impressed.
