Property was just as expected and we loved the view. House fit our family of 14 well. Check in process was rated a 4 only because we didn't get our door code at or before the 4:00 checkin time. I called at 4:05 to get the code and was given the code then. The text with the code wasn't received until 4:18. Otherwise everything was great!
We had an incredible 4-day stay at this chalet with our family of 16! The amenities were fantastic, providing everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. There was ample space for everyone to unwind and relax, making it the perfect getaway. One of the highlights was the breathtaking view from the porch balcony, where we enjoyed stunning vistas of the mountains and the beautiful valley overlooking Gatlinburg. Overall, it was a memorable family trip, and we canât wait to return!
We had a great week, lots of bear sightings from the front door. Road up the first time is a bit scary but then you just get used to the steeper incline. Home was awesome lots of room for everyone to hang out and then be alone when you needed it. We would definitely rent this property again.Would like to know where you got the arcade game station? Need one for my place.
BEAUTIFUL VIEW!!! Bears are disturbing as it was very difficult to be able to enjoy the deck or grill out, however overall experience was amazing!! Hot tub was LIFE and we enjoyed every bit of it.
Wonderful 3-day stay! The cabin is gorgeous, very comfortable, and very well furnished! The kitchen is fully stocked. We did not eat out, we cooked every meal; the kitchen had everything we needed. The view is breathtaking, we spent a lot of time on the main porch. About 20-25 min drive from Gatlinburg, not an easy drive for those who arenât used to narrow roads, sharp curves and steep inclines. We had some bear visits, but were well informed by our veterinarian family member about never feeding them, never approaching them and never leaving doors and cars unlocked. My only complaint: not receiving the check-in instructions until 1 hour before check-in. Cell signal is not the best in the mountains, so not having the address and the front door code until the last minute was not ok.
We absolutely loved this place. Something for everyone. We had infant up to age 90 so Iâm serious when I say this was fabulous. Views were spectacular, layout was great for the family, and we loved the hot tub and sauna. We hope to return again.
OMG- the sightings were unbelievable. The cabin is great for friends with 7 king beds. We had a wonderful time. Only item needed was potholders as we couldnât find any. Other than that, place was great.
The view of this property is gorgeous but please be prepared for the drive to get to the place! The road is extremely steep and windy, youâre going up a big mountain with no guardrails and small roads with very sharp turns. All wheel drive is HIGHLY recommended! The listing & reviews did not actually prepare us for how steep that drive is. The place itself was well kept and very nice. It worked great for our large group. Kitchen had everything for us to cook dinners for the most part. The place had tons of space for everyone. We really enjoyed the pool table but you can tell the pool sticks are very used and old. We had an issue with the hot tub not heating, we called maintenance and they responded very quick which was great! I even had to call them back later in the night just expecting to leave a voicemail and someone still answered and helped us. The heating coil was out and they ended up having to repair it the next morning. But after the repair it was up and working very quickly. We had some small issues with the bathroom doors not closing or staying locked on some of the floors so please be aware of that. Also, one of the guests staying with us forgot to lock her car and a bear did get into her vehicle. The company was great about posting reminders to lock cars and doors, it was definitely our mistake but still wanted to tell you that bears are present lol. Overall very gorgeous place, quick communication with the company, and glad we got to stay here!
I've been to Gatlinburg 5 times. This cabin was just beautiful. Incredible views of downtown Gatlinburg. I highly recommend a AWD car especiallyin if is snowing
The curvy, narrow, steep roads were hard to navigate. Location was very inconvenient and once yoy made it there you certainly didn't want to leave only to fight the trecherous road back. Had it snowed or the temperatures been under freezing we would never have made it to the house.
This chalet was great. The bears made it an even better experience. We do have one suggestion. The big gate was great but the bears still climbed the side of the deck and walked the handrail and came on the deck. The first time was Saturday afternoon and a few guys stayed back at the chalet and were sitting on the deck, they banged on the windows to scare the bears and they could get back in. Maybe add an extension on the gate so they canât walk the handrail. Weâre talking about making it a yearly trip. There was a couple of bear families that came around, we loved it!
Most bathrooms lock were broken. Hot tub was not working, first repair was fixing leak, second repair was hitting coil and time for check out arrived.
Good part : excellent view, Saw bears from cabin, easily reachable, interior was very well done.
Breathtaking views with lots of company from the bears!
The house was perfect for our large family ranging in ages from 1 year to 61 with an amazing view, however with five children in the house we were uncomfortable with the regular visits from many black bears, including two mothers and five cubs. The bears were clearly comfortable climbing the wooden deck supports and over the railings at all times of the day and night to check out what we had cooked on the grill that night, or just looking for food. If you stay at this house, please lock your car doors since they can and will open them and get in looking for food! The house was beautifully decorated, but if you like to cook bring sharp knives and pot holders since there were none. All in all, we had a great time we just had to be cautious.
House had the best view ever! Downtown Gatlinburg and beautiful mountains for miles! The house is large and so many bathrooms! We had 13 people and everyone had their own space! If you have small children bring baby gates! There are 3 sets of stairs! We used a chair to block as our little one was only 2 and not interested in the stairs! But if you have an adventurous one you will want gates! Other than that it was great! So many bears!!!
