This property is a themed property that does not disappoint nor scare away. I had never seen Harry Potter and the house was tastefully done for a themed stay. No where close to over the top. It was as advertised and my stay was great. Yes, I did watch Harry Potter during my stay, I felt owed it to the house.

House was more than we could've imagined. The details in the decor were perfect. The owners were very easy to communicate with and quick to respond.

This was a perfect vacation spot for our family. The host was communicative ahead of our stay, and responded to all questions expediently. The home was clean, charming, comfortable and everything was as listed. Thanks for a wonderful trip- we can't wait to return.

Great place for the price. Fun if you love or are interested in Harry Potter. You can watch the movies for free on their HBOMax subscription. Hot tub is best for 2 but 3 would be a squeeze. Beds are comfortable. Nice fireplace and fun swings over the creek and in the yard. The best is that is it perfectly set with a nice easy drive to Maryville, Knoxville, Pigeon Forge, Townsend and Gatlinburg.

It was a lovely home. We were all adults and chose the home for the location. However, I sent a lot of photos and all my Harry Potter friends are jealous and asking for the details. I would recommend to anyone.

The house was really nice and welcoming and the outside had a nice view of a little creek and a swing which is nice for the kids to enjoy. Would definitely book here again!
