The home was the perfect size for our large family to have room to spread out after a long day. Hot tub was enjoyable! Bring your own toilet paper- we knew going in that they only provide "starter" toilet paper- but we didn't realize that meant mostly empty rolls. We've never stayed anywhere that didn't provide enough toilet paper for the whole stay. So that was new. Would consider staying here again if we come back tot he area with all of our kids.
We booked here for proximity to Rocky Top Sports World for a volleyball tournament. Location was perfect! House was clean and well stocked for what we needed. Communication with host was great- very responsive. We only stayed for the weekend but it would've been great for a longer stay! The kids loved the game room. The only complaint we had (and it was a small one) was the pillows in the bedrooms were pretty thin. We definitely would book again!
We had a great stay over New Years Eve. Very responsive and helpful host, house was huge and had more than enough space for 7 people. We could all be alone or together! Convenient location to downtown and everything else in the area. Ample parking (even the garage was available for use!). Very quiet and beautiful home setting. Highly recommend.
This was the perfect home from which to attend a soccer tournament at Rocky top. Beautiful home, spacious, lots of entertainment options, wonderful hosts. Just perfect!
This property was great. We had a family vacation with ten people staying in the house, plenty of room for everyone. Ate breakfast and supper there kitchen is large enough. Location is good not right next to all the traffic, but not far from whatever you want to do.
Great house, not-so-great clean. This house can be quite a gem, lots of rooms and fun games. We also liked the kitchen and dining spaces. The owners were super responsive to our questions.However, the cleaning was mediocre at best. The windowsills and mantle had a coating of dust. There was crud that needed to be wiped up around the bathtub. The kids' feet were dark gray on the bottom after running around in the game rooms. The towels smelled of mildew, even after we rewashed them. My husband had to clean the shower drain in one of the bathrooms, so we didn't have to stand in a puddle of used water while showering. We asked for the hot tub to be cleaned since it had leaf debris and grit on the seats. The people who came just sucked out the water hoping the debris would follow, rather than using a proper vacuum made for the job.We worked around all this and had a great time anyway. I just hope the very nice owners are able to find some better quality people to clean.
This house was very comfortable for our extended family and in a great location to easily access The National Park, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and even Sevierville
7 adults and 2 teens stayed for a week at Rocky Top and we had a great time. The house was amazing! Big enough for us to spread out and we had a ton of fun in the game rooms. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked most meals in rather than eating out. We loved the pickle ball courts at a nearby park. Basketball too. Close to all of the action of downtown but quiet and off the beaten path.
The house was perfect for our needs. The kids loved the game room. The beds were quite comfortable. The owner responded very quickly to any questions we had. I would highly recommend.
The house was in a great location, so didnât have to go through winding roads to get there if you follow the 321 directions. A couple of minutes down the 321 and you are in the little town of Gatlinburg, plus lots of restaurants and a grocery store near by. The house was cozy with two fireplaces. Game rooms were amazing and as described. All of us enjoyed that. Instead of futons, there were two pull out couches, so plenty of sleeping space for all. One of the couches was very stained, so looked unappealing, but we made it work. Only complaint I had was the cleanliness of the house. Bathrooms had mold/red scum and looked like they hadnât been cleaned in a while, so a bit cruddy. Kitchen also looked like it hadnât been cleaned with a dirty dish rack and stains on backsplash. The house needed a good cleaning. In addition, towels were cheap and smelled bad. We had to wash all towels and some sheets before use. Felt like they hadnât been washed after last use. House needed some TLC, but overall enjoyed the house and our stay regardless of the cleanliness issue.
We brought our 7 kids, daughter in law, mother in law, and grandbaby down for two days after Christmas. We do this every year and the basement was perfect for pool, shuffleboard, ping pong, foosball, and air hockey tournaments! There was more than enough space for everyone to have their own beds/share comfortably and we played bingo with everyone in the two dining room areas without any issue.We would suggest more towels, extras for the hot tub (although you are told to bring more in the details from the host), and to invest in a cookware set (so there is more than one frying pan), but we were able make things work. If others are bringing a big family these were the things we wished were a little different! The only other recommendation would be to have the floors deep cleaned. Our socks and feet were black after just a little while of being there on the first day. Otherwise, our family had a great two days together - #BigFam!Thank you to the hosts for sharing your cabin with us!
We had an incredible time! The location was perfect in proximity to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Just a short drive to Dollywood, Dolly Parton Stampede, Anakeesta, and too many other wonderful activities to list them all! The front porch over looked a local walking track and it was absolutely gorgeous with the trees changing colors. The house was everything we needed for our group of 12 (including 7 children under 13). One thing to keep in mind is the stairs if you have very little ones. A pack-n-play would be a necessity on the main floor. But the stairs to the basement are easily closed off. There was more than enough space for everyone, the beds were comfortable, kitchen appliances and cooking utensils were well provided, and everyone loved the hot tub! We definitely recommend and would love to stay here again one day!
