The house was clean, and the location was ideal for getting to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. There was even a bear that opened the car doors and searched for food inside our car. However, when we arrived, there was no heat; the thermostat was broken and we couldn't adjust the temperature. This is why the house lost two stars.

Family Christmas Vacation instead of gifts
We enjoyed exploring the Great Smoky Mts. Our family preferred the outdoors way more than going to the “tourist attractions”. It was nice having a place to stay that the whole family could enjoy and allowed us to bring our elderly dog on his final trip.
