This cozy little house is just wonderful. This was our second time staying and it’s just as lovely now as it was in May. We take our fur babies along with us and they feel right at home here and it does NOT smell like a “pet friendly” house, very clean and tidy. The beds are so comfy and even more comfy than my very own bed at home. This house is stocked full of anything you’d need and even more than you could ever think of. During our stay we were in a severe storm threat and the owner Jackie sent us a message to let us know to be aware. She’s such a kind soul and great to work with. If you’re looking for a nice little get away, stay with Jackie. You won’t regret it.

Location, location, location! The house itself is wonderful, cozy, peaceful, and well stocked for families with kids of all ages. It’s a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home (2 kings, 1 queen, plus a pull‑out in the living room) right above the Little Pigeon Forge River—adds a serene, private vibe even though you’re within a short distance to Gatlinburg attractions.You’re also just a hop and skip away from Hillbilly Golf and the Moonshine Mountain Coaster, plus Ripley’s Aquarium, Anakeesta, Ober Gatlinburg, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park nearby!Jackie was a pleasure to work with, friendly, responsive, and accessible.

Super Cozy/Cute Cottage feel

This little place was so cute and cozy. It has more of a three bedroom/house feel and is very close to the Gatlinburg strip and across the street from a mountain coaster so very convenient for those looking to stay close to all of the festivities. Accuracy of the place vs what was online was very close, however for the price and what the photos showed it was a much smaller place than I anticipated. I somehow missed how it’s only 1400sqft -which would have easily told me it was a bit cramped for the 7 of us. But that’s not their fault, I will be sure to check that first next time. We had the absolute best time playing shuffleboard. The game room had a super cute connect four on the wall which kept us entertained. All three teens -17 and 19 plus some adults all thoroughly enjoyed it-we will be buying one asap! Absolutely zero complaints about cleanliness-it was extremely clean, decorated just beautifully for Christmas and had plenty of towels and amenities in the kitchen pretty much anything you need they have and all is labeled everywhere so there is no question where to find it. The hot tub was perfect along with the outdoor area. It’s a very large side area with a fire pit and plenty of chairs. Grocery store was about 10-12 minutes away and downtown Gatlinburg was right around the corner from the bottom of the mountain and took us around 5 minutes to get there. It would be perfect for a family with younger children if you’re going with the max number of guests..

Quick getaway

Stay was amazing, the property was very clean and even provided moon pies and granola bars to snack on. Property is so close to downtown Gaitlinburg and it made it very easy to go enjoy our days downtown without a long drive back to our stay. Communicating with property manager was super easy and quick and Jackie was very nice and understanding with any question or problem I brought up. I loved how spacious the property was along with the game room which was a big hit for my friends and I. TV’s were hard to figure out, thankfully one of my friends was tech savvy and was able to figure things out! Overall the stay was amazing and Jackie was an awesome host. Thank you Jackie again!

We loved the location flat drive and entry to house one level. House very spacious we loved the game room it was a winner. The property is very clean and stocked with everything you could think of.

Will stay again

We had a great time! Red Bud Retreat is gonna be filed as….WILL STAY HERE AGAIN!! We enjoyed the Shuffle Board and the quiet outdoors while sitting by the fire. Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub. This was supposed to be a vacation for my 2 aunts-65-70 year olds and my mom. My husband and I have visited Gatlinburg before. My only complaint was that it really isn’t walking distance for older guests. Based on the description of it being walking distance to downtown, we chose this property so if the aunts and mom wanted to walk back they could. However, my complaint is muted because we didn’t need the option to walk to and from. While here, we took a drive through the mountains and visited Dollywood. JB was very helpful and responded immediately to my questions. I hope to stay here again with my “younger” family members. Thanks JB for a great little get away!

Family Get Away

This cabin was so quaint and close to downtown, but felt like it was far away. It was very clean and very roomy. The game room was awesome, my grandkids and the older adults loved it. It was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, soaps and even makeup remover wipes and qtips and everything you would need in the kitchen. The hot tub was very clean and was nice for a hot soak. The owner really goes out of her way to make this a great place to stay. I would definitely stay here again.
