We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful house. We had plenty of room and loved that every bedroom had a king bed with a private bathroom. It was in a great location and made going to everything a breeze. The game room and hot tub was a big bonus for us to enjoy in the evenings. I would definitely recommend this rental. We even saw a bear when we were leaving one day. Thanks again for everything! We really enjoyed our time in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge ❤️

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 14 had an outstanding time at The Spark of Life Cabin in Gatlinburg. It is within a few minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, grocery store and Pigeon Forge is only a few miles away! We had 8 adults a 9, 11, 3, 2 year olds and 2 infants 7 and 10 months! There was so much to do during the day with all ages and at night we played in the game room! This was a perfect house for our family!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’ll start by saying the cabin is nice. Spending over $9,000 for a week rental. On Monday pm we noticed the dryer didn’t dry our towels and suits from the pool day we had. We called Monday pm to report it. Tuesday pm a man comes out and cleans lent out of the vent on the outside of the cabin and says it’s good without trying to run the dryer to test it. It didn’t work. We called Tuesday to report it. Wednesday am they said an appliance man would be out, at 530 Wednesday afternoon he shows up. Says he has been here before for similar issues. He stated the owner is too cheap to pay him to fix it properly so his fix was to unhook the dryer vent pipe and leave it unattached until the cabin maintenance can come fix it. The dryer was working after he left, except when you ran it, all of the steam from the dryer filled the basement and sent the house’s smoke alarms off. We have videos. So we call Wednesday pm to report it and Thursday am. Thursday around 2pm the maintenance team comes out to replace vent pipe, making the dryer usable. I know it’s a dryer, but we packed knowing we could do laundry. The owner called to speak with my father Thursday, simply stating things happen and he’s sorry. After we spent $9,000 for the week we get an I’m sorry. It took 3 days for the easy fix. 14 of us stayed in the cabin, forced to wear dirty clothes and use dirty towels, had to go to the store to buy towels, spent an abundant amount of time on the phone dealing with this issue. After reading 2 other reviews, the owner has know about this dryer issue since January and failed to fix it, causing our family a magnitude of stress on vacation. I’ve called twice asking for Matt, the owner, to call me so we could discuss this and what he can do to justify his lack of ownership and accountability. He refuses to call me back. They say there are two sides to every story, I assure you this $9,000 story does not have another side. N

Great place for our large family. Kids loved the game room and being close to the pool. Adults liked the rockers on the porch. Good location close to downtown

We loved the cabin. The arcade and movie theatre were a great space for the kids. Communication with the management team about a dryer malfunction was very quick and efficient. I only gave it 4 stars because of a few minor issues that added up… lots of different methods of receiving information made it somewhat confusing—text email VRBO and an app. The dryer was glitchy and didn’t really work. The cabin itself was great but the floors were noisy between stories and the basement was hard to sleep in because of this. The kitchen was a bit small but appliances and dishes were nice. The tv downstairs was non functional and the theatre wasn’t user friendly. Overall very happy and glad we stayed there!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Twenty years after seeing everyone, our group decided to reunite in Gatlinburg. We had a great time and Spark of Life was the perfect lodging for the five couples. Some of us own vacation homes and we all commented on how well appointed the property is. The layout was great and there was plenty of public space for us to all be together. The location is really nice, as it's just on the Pigeon Forge edge of Gatlinburg. It made it easy to get to both towns. With a grocery store at the bottom of the hill, getting provisions was easy and our pizza order made it to us in less than 20 minutes. We all agree we would stay here again!

Everything was wonderful. The Rooms were large and comfortable for everyone. Kitchen was roomy for me to cook breakfast. Had all you needed but food. Christmas Tree was still up and made it amazing to look at. The Table of my dreams. Would love to have one just like it. Plenty of room for everyone to sit comfortable. They had a highchair already there as well. The only complant I even heard was the Dryer wouldn't dry. I'm not sure if they even knew how to run it because I alway wash before I go and when I get home. Really wasn't a big deal for the rest of us. I would have given a five star all the way through but that one thing. I look forward to maybe renting again in the summer.
