Anniversary get away
This was the absolute best stay we have ever had. The cabin was clean the beds were comfortable my kids loved the game room but the best part was the wrap around porch my husband and i sit out there with our little dogs every morning and evening. The location is perfect 10 minutes to Gatlinburg 10 minutes to pigion forge. It is up on a mountain so its a drive up when it rained we had to flip our truck in 4x4 my son and his girlfriend were in his muatang and when the roads were wet it was a little struggle but he said it was not bad. The driveway was good the pictures that are shown a exactly the way it looks. We will rent it again.

Great cabin. The ONLY 2 issue we had was the water had air in it like it had speak and water was cloudy and the cabin had a wet dog smell the entire stay. My suggestion would be use plug in air fresheners. Other than that the cabin was great.

Would Not Book Again Based on This Experience
Arrived and internet and tv did not work. I never got it functioning. Silverware in drawers was sticky with visible food. I would recommend washing dishes and silverware before use regardless, but this was a very good reminder of that. Multiple other minor issues that result in recommending booking elsewhere. There are a lot of available properties in the area.

Perfect!
This property was perfect for our trip to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. It is a short distance to all the local destinations and was just the right mountaintop haven to return to after a day of sightseeing and crowds.The hosts were friendly and accessible and our entire process was very smooth. The cabin was so well-prepared we didn’t need much of anything.Highly recommended. This will be my first choice of places to stay on my next trip to this area.

Up in the hills
The property is up in the hills and would be tough to drive in the winter. Google maps does not take the best route either. The property needs some updates but is a good getaway. The location to Gatlinburg and pigeon forge is very convenient. Communication with the owner was ok.

We had a wonderful stay at Pioneer Pup. Beautiful view and a very convenient location. Close to the Park, Downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Very clean and enjoyed the split levels so the older children had a space to themselves! There weren't many reviews as it is a newer listing but did not disappoint. We'll be back.

Gatlinburg getaway
We arrived Friday night so Saturday morning we were greeted with a view of the valley. Due to close proximity to the national park, we were able to head out on the Gatlinburg Trail with our dog. We then went into pigeon Forge for Dolly Parton’s stampede.Sunday morning we packed up and headed into Gatlinburg before heading home.
