We enjoyed our stay very much and really took advantage of the hot tub and fire pit daily. We had bears visit the cabin during our stay as well. It was the perfect distance away from the hustle and bustle. The main problem were the ants. This time of year they come out heavy so I understand but they were a bit overwhelming in the kitchen area.

Was a lovely property with all we needed to enjoy the March surroundings. The hot tub was amazing while it snowed. Very clean. Would just recommend to bring a couple extra blankets in the colder weather season, especially if you are a person whom gets cold easily. That being said the heat did wonders for keeping you warm. Great experience!! Thank you

Incredible location just 10 minutes up the mountain from the Smoky Mountain Park exit. We had luck on our drive up, as we received snow due to the elevation of the mountain. We also saw a family of bears who got incredibly close, walking around the porch outside the cabin. Make sure to secure that food!The host provides about 1/4 cord of firewood to burn, which kept the accommodation nice and toasty. It was incredible. Pigeon Forge is also just 15-25 minutes away, traffic depending. Overall a fantastic, cute experience. We didn't want to leave!Will be planning to stay here again.

Our stay at the gingerbread cabin was awesome. They provided firewood for the indoor fire place. The hot tub was great. My only negative and this does not have anything to do with our cabin, but i have to admit it was pretty scary driving up Ober Mountain, There are no guard rails on the majority of the mountain you have to be super careful. going up there..The property itself was absolutely beautiful great hot tub two bedrooms, pool table which my husband and I enjoyed very much sat outside in the morning looking at the mountain. The weather was pretty good when we were there, it did get a little chilly at night time, but we utilized the hot tub a lot. I would recommend staying at the Gingerbread House to everyone.
