Cozy cabin with everything needed for a comfy stay, short distance from downtown makes it even sweeter. Host stayed in touch and made sure the stay was going as planned.
Everything was tidy and cute! Amenities all worked very well, just the outside lights near the hot tub didn’t seem to be working and the parking situation wasn’t ideal. Overall it was a great experience!

Everything was clean, plenty of towels, easy check in and check out, conveniently located but very secluded, nothing but positives to say about our stay!
Host very responsive and welcoming. Location is awesome for accessing Gatlinburg shops and restaurants. Hot tub is great, but would have been nice if outside patio lights worked. Parking isn’t great with nearby construction and having to park down the road. However, we just unloaded bags at door then parked nearby. Difficult to get ready with no bathroom surfaces or outlets. Cabin has necessary needs, hence the better value. Overall satisfied with stay.
So perfect for a quick weekend getaway! Close enough to get to everything easily, but far enough to where us old people could go to bed at a decent hour without the noise from Gatlinburg! Would definitely stay here again!
The cabin was clean, comfortable, secluded, and perfect for a getaway. This home away from home is cozy and nestled in the middle of the Smokey Mountains. Wonderful weather and spectacular views of the mountains. I would book this trip again without hesitation.

The overall stay was good. We enjoyed the cabin and loved how close we were to downtown Gatlinburg. The area to park is a little inconvenient, being on a hill. The designated area to park is too tight for most vehicles. So you had to park at the bottom of the hill to avoid blocking ongoing construction that is happening next door. This was the only downside to the stay. Otherwise we really enjoyed it!
The overall cabin was perfect. Hot tub was amazing. The cabin was bigger than we thought, due to the pictures online. Very close to downtown. The only issue is, the owners communication was not all there.
This is a perfect spot for a family with kids. Location is perfect, less than a mile to Downtown Gatlinburg but isolated enough to get away from the chaos and crowds of downtown when you have had enough and need to relax. Kids loved the loft beds granting them enough privacy while allowing for family interaction. Plenty of entertainment in the surrounding area, plenty of nature, plenty of restaurants. Kitchen is perfect size to cook for a family of 4. Great rental, we will be back.
I was surprised when we arrived to find smaller accommodations then what were pictured on VRBO. Amazing what a wide angle lenses can do.
But we had a good time. If anyone has difficulty walking up a hill this may not be the place for you.

Tiny shed
The cabin was very small with entry in bedroom. It was really like two 15x15 sheds were put together with a small utility isle connecting them. Shower controls were located above the small sink in the bathroom. Log wallpaper was too much in both living spaces

Hot tub did not stay hot. You could see through the lower windows on both sides but had blocking curtains on the upper windows where nobody could look through. The water turn on valve for the shower is above the bathroom sink and there is an electric outlet right underneath it and the sink, very unsafe. The pest control barged into the room without knock, announcing himself. He could have gotten shot very easily. The parking was almost nonexistent
Wow that was peaceful! Either because we were so close to town and still so secluded or because we didn't have three screaming kids, but this property fit the bill. I'm going with the seclusion on this one. On the end of a dead end road with no neighbors to speak of, you are nestled in a valley with all the amenities you are going to need for a destination getaway. The hot tub was on point after a long day of walking the strip and the quiet was perfect to allow for bears to wander near by (don't worry the doors lock). The only issue I had was that my hybrid struggled to make it up the road but it did, albeit at a turtles pace (I should have brought the SUV). I have saved this listing and will be using it again in the future. Man do I want to go back.
Hot tub didn't work bc the breaker kept tripping off. When I contacted the owner she stated there was nothing she could do until Monday. At 9:30 on Saturday morning she offered to let me check out by 10:00 and get a refund. I said that wouldn't work bc there was nowhere else to stay in the area bc of a car show. I asked for a partial refund since the hot tub was the big draw to the cabin. CRICKETS...never heard another word, but I did get a couple auto-generated messages asking me if I was enjoying my stay. I thought I was being trolled. Not a good stay, ruined a romantic getaway weekend.
The property was very well maintained and was absolutely adorable! We enjoyed the house very much and the location to downtown Gatlinburg was super convenient.
