The cabin was absolutely stunning, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The drive up was steep, particularly the driveway; however, it’s worth it. We enjoyed breakfast from the balcony each morning. We saw three bears in the community. There was an entry in the guest book that scared some of my family members. It read like a Stephen King novel. It was also the first time in the mountains for my sister and nieces, so it freaked them out the night they read it. Of course, I’m sure it was all in fun. We enjoyed downtown Gatlinburg and did the sky lift to the top. We had a great time at the Island. Cades Cove had so much traffic, it was not worth it. People would not move if there was a bear which caused major traffic jams. I would highly recommend the old mill restaurant in Pigeon Forge. My family is very picky when it comes to eating and they enjoyed it. Overall, we had a wonderful time.
