Booking the cabin and getting access to it was great! Chris communicated everything we needed to know. The cabin is located in a perfect spot, easy to get downtown. The cabin itself was great, everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable! Will try to book it next time we come up.

The house was located close to downtown Gatlinburg but still quiet. The description was a little dated as the home no longer showed signs of a fire pit and a lot of the signs and decor are down in thewas prompt with check in instructions and information. I know the homeowner isn’t directly responsib

Cute cabin
It was exactly like the post! Cute 2 bedroom with a loft. Plenty of beds for the size! Super close to town. We literally walked down the hill. However still far enough that it's quiet! We loved our stay. Extra dishes, towels, and even small toiletries in case you forgot something. Communication was good too! We would stay there again!

Great basecamp for hiking LeConte
Spent two nights at the cabin on either side of a big hike this weekend. The proximity to the trailhead and to Gatlinburg’s restaurants were a big plus, and the hot tub was clutch for soaking our weary bodies. The sleeping options were good for us (and could have accommodated four or five). Didn’t see any bears this time, but it sounds like we just as easily could have. Great spot for our needs.

5 Star Cabin
This cabin is very close to downtown but you feel like it’s deep in the mountain. Chris called the night before we arrived to let us know how to get in and tell us about the cabin. We text him a couple times during our stay and his response was within seconds. The cabin is extremely clean and furniture is well maintained. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the back porch. We would definitely return.

Amazing cabin!
My husband and I LOVED our stay in the cabin. Not only is it so incredibly peaceful and calm, but we got to enjoy the wildlife around us! Sadly we didn’t see any bear during our week stay, but got to see 3 coyotes run around! The cabin is just as described, very clean, well stocked, easy access. There is a great hot tub in the screened in back patio with views of the national park. A park grill right outside the back door. Chris is super responsive to any questions or concerns and is such a nice guy! We cannot wait for our next stay in this cabin!

Great location, very clean and convenient!
The owner communicated as listed on VRBO. VERY nice, and the house is comfortable and had everything we needed. Absolutely clean and well appointed. Live the back porch in the morning. We will be back!
