Unforgettable Mountain Retreat

The property is beautiful! As our family of four arrived at the home we were greeted by a bear. It was an amazing site to see. We unlocked the door to an amazing wilderness view and a beautiful home. Our teenage daughter and young adult son definitely enjoyed the lower level. Enjoyed time playing pool and relaxing in the hot tub with a great view. We had a wonderful time at Stephen's home. He is a great host with lots of recommendations. Love the easy to navigate app. It was a great tool to use with all the information you need to check in and out easily. Peddler's Steakhouse Restaurant was very good with a big salad bar.. We had a great time at Dollywood Splash Park and Theme park and went Horseback riding at Jayell Ranch. We would definitely book Stephen's home again!Highly recommend!

Wonderful time -highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience during our stay. The owners were so kind and quick to respond to our messages. The first thing we noticed was how clean the house was, which was something I always worry about. The mountain view was beautiful! There was plenty of space and sleeping room for the 8 of us. I would definitely recommend staying here, we look forward to coming back!

Great place, beautiful views and responsive owners

Our family of four had a wonderful stay at the House of the Rising Sun. I would say that the pictures don't do the house and view justice, but the pictures are quite nice as well. The house was clean, updated and comfortable. We saw a mama bear and three cubs from the picture window in the main room, which was super cool. Easy drive to Gatlinburg and the national park. I recommend.

Great newer cabin in the smokey mountains

The cabin was a great stay for our family of 5 for 2 nights. Beautiful sunrise and loved the knotty pine rustic finish, big island, pool table, and hot tub after a long day in Gatlinburg and the Smokey Mountains. Owner was quick to respond and informative. Thank you!

Nice, quiet, clean stay in a beautiful cabin up a windy mtn road near Gatlinburg. We enjoyed lots of hiking and a little bit of shopping with plenty of relaxing as well. A great place to get away from the world for awhile.
