We didn't do any cooking, but the kitchen looked well stocked. There were several excellent restaurants very close by to the condo. The property was very clean and the balconies on the river were wonderful. We hope to be able to stay here again.

Location is the best part. Hearing the babble of the river and wildlife was great. It is located walking distance to Peaceful Side Social and IGA. Company Distilling and entrance to GSMNP are minutes away by car. Place was mostly clean and well appointed inside. Needs improvement: Infestation of carpenter bees, which were buzzing around by the dozens and raining sawdust on us (and all the furniture) anytime we were on the balcony.
