Wonderful place to stay!
5.0
This property was as advertised. It's a pleasant, clean place to stay, just up the hill from downtown Gatlinburg. If you're looking for a quiet place and don't mind a little zig zaggy 15 mph driving up the mountain to get there, this place is for you. All interactions and communication with the owners/operators were also pleasant and helpful.
5.0
The cabin was so cozy and comfortable. We really loved it! It was close to downtown Gatlinburg. But we also loved being up in the mountains!
5.0
Perfect for a mountain getaway! The cabin has everything you need and more! The hot tub and game room were a great bonus. My family ages 11-81, enjoyed our stay. We even saw a mama Bear and 3 cubs several times. Communication with the host was above and beyond expectations. I highly recommend staying here!

Our main priority was to explore the Great Smoky Mountains and this property was so close to the National Park entrance! It was an easy drive down the mountain to Gatlinburg as well. The house was so cozy and functioned well for our family of 5. We loved the hot-tub and decks as well as the big dinning room table for meals and games. Our girls loved the game room too! Paula was very easy to reach via text and was so kind and helpful. Would definitely stay here again and whole heartedly recommend!!

The communication with Paula, the owner, is the best I have ever experienced. Not only does she provide lots of information about the property and what is provided, she is also extremely helpful with information about the area. The house is beautiful. It is very comfortable, cozy, and clean. It looks exactly like the pictures. The house is located up the mountain, so you need to drive on twisty roads to get up there, but it so pays for it in that you feel like you are far away from the city. We saw bears multiple times in the area, including Mama and her three cubs. We were so grateful to be on the southwest end of Gatlinburg so it made for an easy entrance to GSMNP. We would gladly stay at Goldilocks Haven again!

It was in the mountains like we wanted but still close to Gatlinburg and all the stuff to do. Hosts were very helpful with tips on driving in. Very restful. Only suggestions are maybe a power wash on the outside and some mats or something for the showers, so I don’t slip getting out shower. It was great and want to stay again.

Goldilocks Haven was the perfect place for our group to stay for the long weekend. A quick trip to downtown Gatlinburg to explore, and a more than accommodating space for group. Communication with the owners was excellent. John and Paula were great hosts for us!

We arrived the day after a snowstorm and unfortunately at night. As we are from Florida, the curving mountain roads gave all of us extreme anxiety. Our host, Paula was wonderful about communicating the hazards and advising us of what roads to take. The house was warmly decorated with even a Christmas tree. With the fireplace, ample seating and several balconies, everyone had their favorite spot. Although the kitchen is a bit small, it is very well-appointed with all you need and the coffee/tea bar with a Keurig, kettle and coffee maker were perfect. It was an ideal vacation spot.

Our group of girlfriends had a great weekend getaway to Goldilocks Haven! The house was immaculate, great size, beds were comfortable, everything was labeled and easy to find, and the hot tub with view was the cherry on top of the trip! Highly recommend - already looking forward to planning our next stay!

The place was perfect. Tucked high in the mountains! It had everything we needed to relax, cook thanksgiving dinner and play family games. Maybe 10 mins driving to downtown Gatlinburg. Paula was great.
Thanks for the great week!

My family (husband, 3 year old, and 6 month old) stayed here with my brother and his family (wife and 1.5 year old). We had plenty of room for both families! My 3 year old stayed in the bedroom on the middle floor, and the rest of us stayed up in the two rooms upstairs on the top floor. Both rooms upstairs had plenty of room for a packnplay. My daughter LOVED the Pac Man game downstairs! Overall, it was a great stay! The hosts had amazing communication with me at all times! ***Beware!! When they say the bears are curious, believe them! We removed everything from our truck like we were instructed to do, but my husband left his canvas cover on his truck bed closed. I guess we should have left it open for the bear to explore because he ripped it open and scratched up the side of the truck. It sucks, but it makes for a good story!

Great place to stay with family.

Location is great, not too far off of the main strip in gatlinburg. Full amenities including full kitchen, only star I left off for cleanliness as the upstairs shower curtain was mildew-y and looked like it needed to be replaced long ago. The hot tub stopped working our second to last day but the owner Paula was great and responsive, very fast to try to get it repaired for us!

This property is absolutely beautiful. It feels like a lodge or cabin on the inside and gorgeous on the outside. The accommodations were perfect for my two adult daughters, my elderly mother and I for a girls trip. We were looking for a peaceful setting to support some relaxation after a very tough year. We found it!!
Not only did we find that, but we also saw numerous bears (at a safe distance!) and other wildlife. The leaves were just starting to turn, so sitting out on one of the three balconies in the mornings were blissful. A slight breeze, coffee in hand, my girls by my side, leaves gently gliding off their perches down to the decking as we watched momma bear and her baby galloping across the hillside to find their next meal of acorns and berries. We could not have asked for a more perfect weekend at a more perfect place.
Paula was amazing the entire weekend and made sure we had everything that could possibly need. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us for an amazing weekend!

This little cabin has EVERYTHING you need & then some. Everything was was perfectly organized & the decor was so cute & lovely. We saw many bears & other critters while staying. It was perfectly tucked away in the mountains for solace yet close to all the attractions. Wonderful stay!

We had a great stay at Goldilocks Haven. Lots of space, the game room was great for the kids, the hot tub was fun for everyone, and the decks were a great spot to gawk at the bears. The house was clean and inviting. The kitchen had plenty of equipment. The house had everything we needed. It was a convenient location to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge or the National Park for hiking. The owners were responsive to questions and worked hard to ensure we had a great stay.
