Whether watching wildlife (yes, bears) or sitting on one of the two spacious back porches looking over Smoky Mountains… all the views were wonderful. The hosts were the best communicators we’ve ever had, too! Our three families LOVED this stay - the perfect getaway from the bustle of Gatlinburg but also only a few minutes away. And when we were rained out one day, we had so much to do… pool table, arcade, tvs, connect four, books and card games, foosball, etc!!
