Scary

The house and rooms were fine. The game room was a joke, not very accessible for older people. The driveway was almost a disaster especially when wet. It took me three tries flooring my engine to get up. I am surprised no one has slid off and turned over.

The property was great. Met all expectations for our family vacation with a group of 16. The rooms and layout were as pictured, the location was great, very short drive to downtown Pigeon Forge and right by Dollywood. It is right in the mountains, so definitely need to use caution for bears. We had a visit by a bear in the driveway within our first hour, so keep watch on the kiddos, especially if going to extra room, which is accessed from separate, outside entrance.

We had the best time staying at this property! It was spacious and clean. Plenty of beds/bedrooms/bathrooms for 6 adults and 10 kids. It was literally like 3 minutes to Dollywood. The kids loved hanging out in the game room. Three of the bedrooms have attached bathrooms. The host was so kind and easy to get in touch with if we had a question. Would stay here again!
