The Perfect Cabin

After staying in cabins 9 vacations in the gatlinburg area over the last 3 years, this is the only cabin we came back to stay in a second time. It is by far our favorite one. The location is only 5 minutes from gatlinburg and the national park, yet it is more quiet and secluded than most other rental cabins. It is very clean and well decorated with a bear theme. It is nice having a bedroom and bathroom on each level so that everyone has there own space, or everyone can get cozy on the main level. Our favorite thing about this cabin is the wildlife viewing. We love sitting out on the deck and seeing the animals. This last trip we saw 4 different bears, a gray fox, wild turkey, raccoon, and coyote. We had at least one bear come up on 4 different days, and on one day there were 4 of them at the same time. We enjoy all there is to do in the smoky mountains, however, sometimes we hate to leave this cabin because we are afraid we are going to miss seeing the animals. The cabin has plenty of parking with easy access and a large yard which most cabins do not have. While staying here you have to make a trip to pigeon forge to eat at the old mill, and at the applewood farmhouse restaurant. We cant wait to come back again in a few months. Any season is a great season to come to the smokies. Thank you Vivian for being so pleasant to work with and for sharing this great cabin with us. My mom, Lois and my sister, Diana came on this trip with me and my wife, Janelle and they fell in love with the cabin also. Hope to stay here again soon. Thanks, Roy

Our family of 4, met up with 2 friends at the cottage. It was truly amazing; the pictures do not give it justice. It was clean and created a feeling of being home.

After one night, we felt so relaxed like we were there for days. It is very convenient to downtown Gatlinburg. Once you get a local map, suggest using the back roads.

Overall, great location, great cabin and we will definitely be back in the future.

Thanx

We loved the house. It was extremely clean and had everything we needed. We loved the three floors and decks. My daughters stayed on the top floor and loved having their own space. We enjoyed having the yard, which is rare on the mountain. We had bears several times and one almost got into our parked car. I recommend keeping the windows closed. We really enjoyed watching them. The owners are extremely helpful with any questions. I would highly recommend this cabin.

We just returned from a great trip at your beautiful mountain retreat. It was very relaxing and private,yet close to Gatlinburg and the wonderful Smokey Mountains. Having a separate bathroom for every bedroom works out perfectly when having a three couple getaway. We saw bears on most mornings and some evenings. We look forward to staying with you again soon!!

What a wonderful place to stay. Everything was just as stated. In less than five minutes you are at the gateway entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. In the morning we saw the wild turkeys, but unfortunately no bears for us, though we did see a mama bear and her cub up close in the park. With the three floors, we each had our private space, but could all be together comfortably when we wanted. The kids loved the PS2 and we all enjoyed the game room. We are already talking about coming back next year and would love to stay here again. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone planning a visit to the Gatlinburg area.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank you on the beautiful and roomy accommodations and that we enjoyed staying in your cabin. We drove 14 hours from Fort Lauderdale for our family vacation and this will definitely be one of the most memorable one. The drive was long but as soon as we walked into the doors of the cabin we knew it was worth the 14 hours drive. In the early morning hours we got to see the wild turkeys and rabbits. And one evening we got to see black bear trying to get into the garbage. The kids enjoyed the game room and the adults enjoyed the Jacuzzi. The cabin is well located in the mountain with a great view. Close to all of the attraction and Pigeon Forge is a short drive away. We will be back again!
Thanks again,

I think we got the best cabin in all of the Smokey Mountains. Very convenient to Gatlinburg but away from the traffic and noise. The house is equipped with all you will need. The best rental home we have ever stayed in. The game room was excellent for our kids. Access to the pools is a mile away but worth the drive if you just want a day at home (plus the drive is beautiful). Plenty of space and a nice flat yard for the kids to spend time outdoors (very unusual in the mountains). Traffic in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg is horrendous but there are lots of things to do if you don't mind it. We preferred Gatlinburg. We loved our days in the mountains. Great drive through Cades Cove and hking to waterfalls. All close to this cabin. Even rainy days in the cabin were pleasant. One evening at dusk we looked outside to see a black bear in the yard. This was the highlight of the trip for our kids. The next evening a family of wild turkeys was hanging out when we arrived.
Dollywood is a nice themepark for families (we have tried them all). My 65 year old mother loved the shows and the shade, my teenagers loved the rollercoasters, and my 4 year old loved the water play areas. I did not expect it to be such an enjoyable park. You could easily spend 2 days there.
If you are planning to go to this area for a family vacation...this cabin is an excellent choice.

We had a large family vacation in Gatlinburg. The cabin was beautiful with lots of room and plenty of things to do. It rained most of the time we were visiting but we were able to entertain at the cabin. With all the convenience of home, we did not have to pack much for the trip. I would recommend this cabin over others in the area. Most other cabins are right next to another with not much privacy. That is not the case with this cabin. There is tons of privacy. We even had a deer outside our window the first morning we awoke on vacation. That was a nice way to start our vacation.
