This cabin was amazing!!! It more than met our expectations. It was really clean and very spacious. With our group of 4 couples, it allowed us each to have our own bedroom/bath (which was so nice for privacy). The game room was awesome--kept our group busy when we weren't out exploring Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge (which were amazing too). We even had a family movie night in the upstairs living room area (the TV was HUGE). We enjoyed the outdoor area as well, with the firepit, horseshoe pit and even playing corn hole. I forgot to mention the hot tub (so relaxing after a day of hiking). I feel like there isn't anything this cabin forgot to include! We also enjoyed having the big kitchen and dining area (as we all took a night to cook a full meal for the family). I am trying very hard to think of something that might be a con and I just can't. The host/hostess was extremely friendly and quick to reply to any needs we might have had. This cabin truly has it all, hopefully we will be able to come back again soon :)

Cabin was very clean and full of activities. Kitchen had everything you needed to make your own meals. Plenty of porch space and seating to enjoy the mountains. Host was very quickn to respond when I had questions. We would stay again. Location was not far from town, but be warned if you have motion sensitivity, very curvy roads to get to the cabin.

Gorgeous lodge with amazing views, would return 100%. The information and instructions given were very helpful, and we had no issues with local wildlife. One thing to note: while the main level of the property is handicap accessible, the fire pit area was down quite a few stairs and our wheelchair-bound sister didn’t feel comfortable to try to navigate around the yard to get there in the dark.

This was the perfect sized house for us in terms of beds, baths, and communal areas for book discussion and meals. We thoroughly enjoyed the view from the porch, our discussions in the media room, and space for all of us at the dinner table. This is a great house for a larger group and it is close to many attractions in Pigeon Forge and Sevierville.

This was a perfect cabin for our family. It was spacious, comfortable, clean and had great amenities. We really enjoyed the game room and the porch with a great view of the mountains. The pictures on the VRBO site are accurate. The handicapped bathroom was very helpful. We even saw two bears It was close enough to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg but quiet in the mountains.

Great place for a family vacation
The cabin was big enough for my entire family and had plenty of games to play. There were a lot of lady bugs inside of the cabin though. It was not a big deal, when we saw one we just put them back outside. Also, the handicap bathroom shower needs to be better set up for a handicap person and I wish there was a better way to get a wheelchair to the fire pit/hangout area. All in all, this cabin was great. We would stay there again.
