Perfect place to relax

The cabin was amazing! Upon arrival the cabin was immaculate. It was well supplied with appropriate sizes of cookware for a large group. The views were stunning. So many different views from all of different balconies. Saw bears every night. The host was extremely responsive to questions and concerns.

Family vacation

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at cloud 9. The cabin was large enough for all of us and very comfortable. The views of the mountains were spectacular! We also had a lot of bears visit over the week. We had an issue with the hot tub and the maintenance guy responded right away and resolved the problem. Overall we had a great stay.

Beautiful!!!

This is not a typical review as this property is on the higher end of what most people can afford. Me specifically but we booked it as it is a venue that could support a large family get together well. 1) The views are beautiful but not perfect. Power lines and other properties do obstruct but still pretty dam good. Definitely gorgeous views, much better than most. 2) Be wary of bears. I have been going to Gatlinburg for 30 years on vacations and we definitely had more encounters in three days here than all the others combined. Was pretty exciting. 3) The venue was gorgeous and the level of detail in the decorations were very nice. Negatives The venue need a little TLC with regard to loungers outside, they are getting a little worn with age and need to be replaced. There is also a swim spa onsite which was fantastic, however the spa part was broken, the heater did not work. Overall we loved the venue and would stay with this company again.

Everything about this properry, inside and out, is absolutely stunning! The views are magnificent and there are multiple balconies to enjoy them from with quality outdoor furniture. Inside, the furniture was also great and the beds were comfy. We were a 3 generation family of 15 ranging in ages from 4-72. There was something for everyone to enjoy from playing pool, video games. watching movies in the theatre , or relaxing in the hot tub or swim spa. We had a visitor (bear) twice wondering by on his food search route. Thanks for letting us enjoy your lovely chalet. Nancy and Dave

Amazing Mountain Cabin

This cabin was breathtaking. We really enjoyed all the rooms having their own bathrooms and patios. The view is very impressive. The hosts answered any questions we had. We had a great time in Gatlinburg and even the day we just hung around the house. Very well stocked with kitchen supplies and activities

Family reunion

Really enjoyed the house. Plenty of room for our group. Views couldn’t be beat. The owner keeps the place spotless. Only a couple issues (minor) that were resolved within an hour. Couldn’t ask for anything more. The bears were a plus. Would come back again in an instant.

Beautiful cabin

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house is absolutely gorgeous, lots of living space and an amazing swim spa. We also loved having double ovens which made making dinner for a large group so easy. The only issue we had was that the bathrooms on the lower level were not clean. The property manager did say they would bring this up with the cleaners so hopefully that gets fixed quickly Otherwise we loved our stay, the property owners quickly communicated and allowed us to have a late check out. We would definitely stay again.

This is an amazing property that has great views, all the amenities, quality furnishings and lots of on property entertainment. It was a 100% seamless process from start to finish and there likely isn’t a better value in the Smokies.
