The house was great for us! Enjoyed the views and space. Would be nice to have a couch or more comfortable chairs in the kitchen area around the tv. Also, there were no potholders which we needed when cooking. Otherwise, this was a wonderful space for our family and we enjoyed ringing in the new year in a quiet and serene atmosphere.

This home was beautiful with a beautiful view! The hosts were very welcoming. A beautiful basket of treats, pancake mix, and other items was left on the large kitchen island. We were there for the Thanksgiving Holiday, and there was a large foil pan, a large roll of foil, and a turkey baster in the basket. This was very thoughtful. The home was perfect for our family, as everyone had their own room and bathroom. There were two cozy living spaces for us to enjoy the pool table, video game, and large televisions.

Check-in was pretty straightforward except for the cleaners still being there when we arrived, so we had to wait outside for a while. At least we knew it was clean. In addition, maintenance came to fix something about 3 hours after we checked in.

We had a great stay, beautiful house and close to gatlinburg for restaurants and other activities. The driveway was a steep hill, but it’s expected in the mountains. Would come back!

Family trip
The location is great, the mountain views are spectacular, the beds are very comfortable and the showers are great! The photos online accurately depict the home. We had a few issues during our stay and the property team addressed them in a timely fashion. It must be noted that all of the bathrooms have pocket doors and different members of our party got trapped in 3 out of the 5 bathrooms at different times. You cannot close the door all the way and get back out without assistance from someone on the other side. In order to maintain privacy, we would lock the bedroom door and leave the bathroom door open. This is not always convenient with 12 people staying in one home. The kitchen amenities were sufficient. The large kitchen table and outdoor space on the porch were the primary hang out spots for the adults. The upstairs room has one sofa and therefore only the kids were able to enjoy that space. The bench on the lower level of the kitchen would be more well utilized as a storage pantry or perhaps with a couple of high top tables and chairs. It is certainly not comfortable for seating. Overall a great time was had once we learned to work around the issues.

House had plenty of space for the 9 people in our party. Very clean. Far enough away from all the craziness in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but still close enough.
