This was our first visit to the Gatlinburg area, and the more we drove around the area, the more blessed we felt to have chosen such a "winner" of a cabin the very first time we tried VRBO.
It absolutely lives up to its name and and its billing, and the owners were top-notch. The inside of the cabin is warm and homey, lots of windows with beautiful views everywhere. Compared to the activity and bright lights on the parkway, the peace and quiet of this location was so soothing and rejuvenating. The master bedroom loft is picture perfect, and looking out at the tops of trees from the back porch while listening to the rustling sounds of the forest was heavenly. It was private, and very secure, on a beautiful mountain road. We felt very safe and comfortable there.
It is 10 minutes to the bustling parkway in Pigeon Forge, but we spent most of our time hiking the waterfall trails in Smoky Mountains National Park. It is about 30 minutes to the park from the cabin, and you have to pack your snacks, since there are no concession options within the park. We saw bears and deer in the park, and more beautiful views than our cameras could capture. The drive to Cades Cove alone was worth the whole trip. Between hiking days, we enjoyed an afternoon at Wonderworks, definitely not just a place for kids, and an afternoon at the outlet stores.
We brought our 3 college age kids,and ate in the cabin when we weren't out in the park. We put the bulk of our vacation funds into our accomodations, instead of into activities, and we are so glad we did!
You will not regret choosing Jasmine's Treehouse. All the comforts of home surrounded by God's creation at its finest. Enjoy, and expect a visit from the raccoon!
