Exceptional

Loved all the activities pool/hot tub, bowling, golf sim, pool table, pickle ball, and basketball courts for our three families kept us occupied for hours. Loved the location away from the traffic of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
We had an amazing experience at this home! The host was more than accommodating and messaged me before, during and after to make sure I was enjoying my stay. I would recommend the house/host combo above any in the area. 10/10!!!

AMAZING
Perfect house for our extended family. Slept our crew of 18 people comfortably. Never a dull moment and the slide was a hit for kids AND adults! Pool/hot tub were clean and inviting. Golf simulator and duck pin bowling worked well. Truly everything was perfect!

3rd time visiting
This was our 3rd trip visiting Wonder Meadows, and we absolutely love it more and more each time we stay here. The houses are all very clean and so thoughtfully designed. Our kids always have a blast with all of the amenities. Duck pin bowling is definitely the highlight! Whenever we are in town, these properties are where we look first.

Great House for Large Family Vacation
Great house! We had kids ranging in age from 3–13, and every one of them loved it and found plenty to do. One thing we especially appreciated was that all of the activity spaces were visible from the main living area, which made it easy to relax while still keeping an eye on everyone.
The location was awesome — close to everything, clean, comfortable, and with plenty of space for our group. We highly recommend checking out the nearby general store and visiting Metcalf Bottoms while you’re there. Also, bring fishing poles! The kids absolutely loved doing catch-and-release fishing in the pond in the neighborhood.
There was some construction going on in the neighborhood during our stay, but honestly it didn’t bother us at all.
Our only suggestion would be improving the outdoor spaces a bit. For a home this size, the porches felt small, and there wasn’t really a covered outdoor seating area. We had some rainy weather and would have loved a comfortable covered spot to still enjoy being outside.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this home!
