New Year Getaway
Great property for a small family or couples trip. Very clean and close to Gatlinburg. It only took about 5 minutes to drive down the mountain to the strip. My kids also loved the "kid cave" and every room had a large TV with streaming capabilities. The bathrooms were also very nice and the master bathroom had a great shower, which is hard to find in a rental.

Christmas Magic
This Christmas we needed a different experience and the Taking It Easy property was perfect. My three grandchildren, 7-8 yo, were delighted with the Kids Cave! Meanwhile, the adults felt luxurious with the comfortable beds and family spaces. However, the best part of our stay was the Christmas Tree. Santa delivered the gifts under a majestic tree scene. Everything was memorable. We will never forget our Christmas at this property.

Spectacular Mountain Home
This home is lovely, very clean and well equipped. Everything about it made our visit so special. The views are beautiful, the weather was amazing. We experienced lots of bear activity which was exciting! The owners Cameron and Jaime were wonderful to work with, quick to respond. They also took the time to send us a great list of suggestions while in the area. We will definitely be back!
