Great place to stay! Easy check-in/check-out. Perfect place for a couple. The short drive up is worth it, as we saw several bears right off of the balcony. The bed wasnât as comfortable as mine at home, but the place was clean and the view of the mountains is awesome. We definitely would stay here again!
Spectacular view of Mt Leconte, chimney tops and other mountains. Clean place. The only criticism is lack of places to put stuff. A luggage rack/stand would he helpful. Limited drawers, id suggest putting the tv above the fireplace, removing the tv credenza and replacing it with a dresser or a functional cabinet in that spot. The couch and recliner are to big for this space. Also the coffee table is to big for the limited space. Id suggest updating them to something more studio apartment space friendly. Bathroom was great. Kitchen was also great for the space. The balcony is excellent and the keystone to the property. It would be nice if there were a screen door to allow the cool breeze in. Overall we gave it 3 stars because of the items listed above as well as the amities are dated at this property, mainly the outdoor pool. The drive up to the property is also not a pleasant one with construction crews at a few hair pin turns up the mountain roads to the property. Great for the price, overall it didn't ruin or enhance our trip, it was a neutral experience.
Easy check-in process and owner was quick to respond. Was prepared for mt road based off other reviews which were all pretty accurate. We tried to avoid getting caught in a rain storm on the road but that didnât happen and we still made it up the mt, slowly but surely. It is a very nice rd but as long as I donât look over the drop off I was fine. Only had one idiot ride my tail clear up the mt then sped around me when I pulled over to let them by. They need more guard rails! I felt like we planned our trip around the weather a bit which was unfortunate bc of the storms. Greeted by a bear upon arrival. I will say we were able to get our Braunability van up the mt rd just fine and the parking lot was easy to get in and out. This particular condo has a few steps down into the front door that my husband was able to make since we didnât bring his power chair. But those were the only steps. The building beside us had a ramp down into its first floor but this one does not. If you need a ramp, there are others with one. I would highly recommend investing in a better quality mattress. It was terrible on my back because it was very hard and it did the same to my husbandâs which was even harder on him and then ultimately limited his ability to move even worse. One night we did not have enough hot water for my husband to get a shower. We didnât enjoy Gatlinburg as much as I thought we would. I shouldâve done more research. There was no handicap parking close to anything to be helpful.
This property was very nice, clean and had the most beautiful view off of the patio. Very quiet and off the beaten path of Gatlinburg strip. I would definitely recommend this property!
This was a great place to stay for what we needed. A place to relax after each day long day of hiking! Waking up to the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains was perfect! Only a couple reasons that I did not give this a 5 star stay. The directions that were written out in the welcome email were extremely confusing, lots of twists and turns up the mountain (but also unique and fun once you knew where you were going!) It was more helpful information when the info provided was âUse Google maps, not Apple Mapsâ. This is a main level unit, the upstairs tenant was very loud and creaky when walking around in the late evenings. In the pictures provided there was a well stocked Keurig with K-Cups. No coffee was brought, on our late check in we were welcomed with no coffee for the morning wake-up just well picked over hot chocolate K-Cups. The drawers under the bed were very sticky and hard to open, not wanting to shut all the way and threatening toe stubbing hazards. But otherwise a great stay and would choose to stay here again for sure!
The view was incredible!! The pool and hot tub sooo nice, the apt great!! I don't know what I was thinking about for the road up to it, it was really a scary drive for us, up and down. My husband was angry with me for not having researched the road before hand. But we took it slow, and had to stop for cars on our side of the yellow double line, do to the sheer drop off from a narrow tar road, with sharp turns.
Needed a weekend getaway spot for me and partner's anniversary, and this condo filled that need. It was a great price, everything was clean and well organized, and the view was incredible. Would book again if we're staying in Gatlinburg!
Ended up having a family emergency right before our stay, but everything up to that point went great. Look forward to booking this location again some time in the future.
My boyfriend and I stayed here for a quick weekend getaway and it was perfect. The view is incredible. Communication with the host was so smooth and nice! Thank you for a lovely weekend!
