Anniversary
We had a relaxing, enjoyable stay at this cabin. Beautiful views and we did see a bear one afternoon getting in the hot tub. With the views being so beautiful i would say my only disappointment was the windows were really dirty. Floors were very squeeky. Overall would stay here again. The town was very laid back and nice restaurants to choose from without going into the bigger tourist towns. Cades Cove was an outstanding dive seeing many black bear. The scenic drives in the mountains close to where we were were just as beautiful. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us... it was a great anniversary for us!

Great view!!!!
The property was very nice, warm and welcoming. The view is out of this world. It is about 25 minutes from pigeon Forge and 35 minutes from Gatlinburg. The floor does squeak really bad. It was just two of us and we were staying upstairs together so it wasn’t that much of a concern. I would come back and stay at this location.

Clean cabin with good views
Had a nice time at a cabin in the Smoky Mountains for a family vacation with 2 adults and 3 kids (ages 11-15). Pros: Very clean and with incredible views from two decks. Felt like a vacation rental, not too personal. Sufficient kitchen supplies, comfortable beds, and two floors for teenagers to hang out. Kids enjoyed the hot tub and we saw a bear from the deck a few times! Scenic location in Wears Valley. Cons: Some minor issues like a few lights not working and a stuck shade. DVD didn't work, and lack of communication from hosts. Table inside seats only 4, not ideal for a family of 5. Trash outside the cabin, likely a bear has gotten into something. The drive to attractions takes 30+ min. Overall, not a bad experience, but wouldn't stay again due to small details and communication. Cleanliness and location were excellent. Might be a good option for others who don't mind the mentioned issues.

We had a great time at the cabin. Was really surprised with the scenery and bears lol. I would def. rent again, but i'd be more prepared with bears.

Perfect Hideaway
This property was beautiful! It had everything we were looking for in a place to stay. We enjoyed the home, the wildlife, and especially the view ! If traveling with children- no area to play outside, and approx 30 mins from all attractions. Overall, would highly recommend! Owners were great, easy to communicate with and very responsive!

Cabin is great! Well appointed without being overdone and really comfortable with plenty of room. A loved the pool table and hot tub. Only slight negative was many very close neighbors. Hosts are very nice and the process was super easy.

Cozy cabin
The only problem with the property was the LOUD floors on the upper level. You can hear the creaks through the entire house when trying to walk out the back door in living room or in master bedroom creating issues for those sleeping in the lower level (I climbed over the master bed to ensure not waking others below). The house was nice and welcoming with comfortable furniture. The views were beautiful off the back decks (would recommend removing the trees that were cut down and left in the back). The managers were fantastic and helped us when we ended up needing an additional night due to vehicle issues the day we were supposed to leave. We would stay here again except for the floor issues were frustrating.

Comfortable cabin with a gorgeous view!
The cabin was extremely comfortable and well stocked with everything we could possible need. Enjoyed the huge fireplace. Large balconies with comfortable seating to take advantage of the incredible view! The perfect place for a fall getaway.

Beautiful view!
We had a great time at your cabin! It was very clean and everything was just as described in your VRBO listing. The view from the balconies was AMAZING!!! And we did see a bear! A few times, and we named him Peanut Butter. ;) We didn't use the hot tub much but it was a plus and the pool table was fun. Internet service was awesome too. A couple of us had to stay somewhat connected to the real world and that made it much easier. The kitchen is well stocked. We cooked a couple of meals and had everything we needed. There was plenty of parking and the neighbor seemed pretty nice and quiet. And growing. 3 more houses being built as of last week. It is about a 30 minute drive to Pigeon Forge but there is a great breakfast restaurant about 10 minutes from the cabin. Hillbilly's. Very good. :D The only thing that was an issue at all, but it won't stop us from rebooking, is the upstairs floors. They squeak/creak soooooo badly. I mean, its good security. You would definitely know if someone tried to sneak in....lol ;) Overall, we loved it! We will probably book again the next time we go to the GSM.

Should be a 10 Star
We selected this cabin because the view shown on VRBO was so pretty. We were not disappointed. The view was perfect, there was so much space in the cabin and the owners responded immediately to us. I simply cannot say enough to praise the cleanliness of this cabin. Kudos to the cleaning service/maid.

Fun Family Visit
Cabin is just as described. So nice! Some places don’t have enough stuff in the kitchen to work with. This cabin is well stocked. There is even a crock pot! The floors do squeak, probably from settling. The A/C didn’t work when we got there. Marie was awesome and got someone out within 3 hours. I don’t sweat, just turn red and pass out if I get too hot. Getting someone out quick was, quite literally, life saving. The most fun was playing pool with our nieces and seeing a mama bear and 3 cubs on the first day right under our deck!

Family Getaway
Our family of 6 stayed for 3 nights and we had a great experience. Everything in the cabin was extremely neat and clean. The area was nice and quiet and the views were spectacular. The location was very convenient if you're planning on tubing down the Little River or driving the Cade's Cove Scenic Loop inside the GSMNP. It's a little drive into Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but that's preferable for our family to be a little ways out from the hustle and bustle. We would definitely stay here again!

I am so glad you enjoyed the peaceful side of the Smokies. So close to the GSMNP and only 25 minutes from the action. You were a pleasure to host and we hope you come back again soon!

We saw bears and Dolly
As soon as we got to the cabin we all went in to check it out. Within minutes we saw a young bear from the balconies. It was cute and we were all excited about seeing it. We saw other bigger bears while we were there too but didn't have any problems with any of them. The cabin was great. Views are awesome. If seeing bears is something you're looking for then this cabin is for you. (Please don't feed them) We also went to Dollywood 2 days. Our 2nd day Dolly Parton made an appearance which was awesome. We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin and we love the area and will definitely be returning.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Jun 2022
I want to thank you for staying at our cabin, although I am confused by this review. Access instructions were sent 48 hours in advance automatically. All contact information is available and has been confirmed by VRBO. I did not receive any messages, emails, or calls concerning checking in or the cabins outside cleanliness. As far as Outside cleaning goes, I assume the pollen is what's considered unclean which is out of our control in the spring. I am sorry you had these issues but I was not given a chance to help take care of them. I recommend being more familiar with the booking site in the future so you are able to communicate better with your host. We love hosting guests at our cabin and available locally if any issue were to arise.
