This large and comfortable lodge is ideal! It is exactly as pictured and described, and the property management company is exemplary. Every question or request to them was answered promptly and any concerns immediately addressed. The property itself is amazing, with exceptional views of both Gatlinburg and the Great Smokey Mountains. We spent a week relaxing and enjoying both the property and the surrounding areas. Kitchen is well equipped (at least 30 coffee mugs, as an example), beds are comfortable, linens of good quality. Every bedroom has its own private full bathroom, plus two powder rooms adjacent to common areas. The balconies were delightful with plenty of chairs and side tables for relaxing. The outdoor rocking chairs are so comfortable, we all wanted to bring a couple of them home with us! I highly recommend this fantastic home as a gathering place for family and friends.

I had my large family stay here for a birthday/retirement celebration. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom, as well as a couple extra bathrooms throughout the house I wasn’t expecting! The location was super close to all of the Gatlinburg action. Very convenient for a group wanting to get into town easily and quickly. The road is a little intimidating, but very doable. We were able to park 7 cars in the driveway with a little engineering. Do not leave even your empty cooler outside. A bear took ours and broke into it. We found it up the road. We weren’t even mad. Kind of excited and impressed.
5.0
Our one week stay at Hickory Ridge lived up to our high expectations. The large cabin accommodated our group of family and friends very comfortably. The views of Gatlinburg were wonderful, could even hear the music from the porches (although it did not disturb with the doors closed).
We were close enough to the town to get there quickly but also enough distance to be away from the hustle of the crowd that busy holiday week.
The few small issues we had were resolved quickly with friendly communication from a team of helpful Avant staff.
Overall, I’d highly recommend this lovely location, especially for those with a large group.
Thanks for everything!

Great location, amazing views of the mountains and Gatlinburg. Very clean house. Well stocked with all of the items you would need in the kitchen. Defiantly be back!

We had a great stay with 7 families, parking was a little tight but location was great. The cabin layout was great. We did have a surprise as we were unloading, a bear showed up and was sniffing the back seat of P/U truck but luckily we were able to get him to move on. He came back the next morning and crossed teh street to scale the mountain. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a large cabin.
5.0
Our immediate family and plus-ones of 10 had all the comforts of home. The kitchen was well supplied with loads of dishes, cutlery, and pots and pans, etc…. There were 8 full baths (one for each room) and two common hallway powder rooms on the ground and game room floors as well. No one had to share a bathroom (heaven!) The wi-fi was fast and each TV had Roku on it—although we did bring our own Firestick which also worked well. The AC had multiple air handlers and we could adjust how cool we wanted it on each floor. Teens enjoyed the hot tubs and they functioned well. There were little niceties such as throw blankets, hotel-style soaps, new dish sponge, kitchen towels, and board games/books for our comfort. We easily seated 10 adults in the great room for family game nights. Although we didn’t build a fire or use the gas BBQ grill, everything was there to do so.
The view from the expansive balconies was second to none. The 1 mile road up from Gatlinburg was very steep and windy, they aren’t exaggerating when they say no oversized vehicles, but no issues for our cars, F-150, and SUV. Parking for 4 vehicles and one motorcycle was no problem. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge both easily accessible.
Our dogs were welcome (with a fee) which was a big plus for us! The linens were fresh white cotton duvets and each room was well appointed with a fireplace, extra pillows and blankets.
I loved this stay and highly recommend it!

The location of this house was perfect for the various activities that all family members wanted to participate in! Private bathrooms for each bedroom was definitely a plus as well as balcony doors from each room to view Gatlinburg!

This house is huge. It is perfect for big families. Parking is only for 4 vehicles. The dryer went during our stay and they had a new one installed the very next day. They were very attentive and addressed any issue right away. It is very close to Gatlinburg. Definitely will stay again!!!

My (now) husband and I brought our immediate families here for a week and we got married on a mountain look out near by! It was the perfect house and the perfect week. This property helped us make memories for a life time.

Absolutely loved this home. The concierge service was a great addition. We would absolutely stay here again. We have stayed in other homes that did not live up to the online expectations. This home was wonderful in every way! No home is perfect, but I was very happy with the upkeep in general and the amenities provided.

This Cain is amazingly situated right in downtown Gatlinburg overlooking some of the best view of mountains and city.
Cabin is very spacious, well laid out and stocked well with all the essentials. Only reason I want to give 4.75 stars because the kitchen and bathrooms cabinet are little dated and needs some TLC or replacement.
AvantStay staff and property manager Josh was so helpful and responsive for any issue.
Thanks

We stayed at this property with 4 other couples. Every bedroom, except 1, had a king size bed which was important to our group. Also, every bedroom had its own bathroom and fireplace. I would definitely stay here again. Hope to bring my whole family someday, as it is kid friendly. My grandkids would love the game room. Great view of Gaitlynburg.
5.0
The house was perfect for my family coming from all different states. Rooms were very spacious and bathrooms in every room was extremely convenient. All of the needed amenities were there and in abundance. I only had to call to see about a mixer and that was only because the kitchen is so large I couldn’t find it. We asked for baby items items (humidifier, baby gates, 2 high chairs) that normally would not be provided and they made sure they accommodated all of our requests. The house , property, and management company exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend this house for anyone wanting to accommodate large families.

Our family had the best time during our stay at this house. It was large enough to accommodate our whole group and everyone had their own bathroom! A huge plus. We loved seeing black bears on many afternoons and evenings. The concierge service was excellent. Any request was taken care of promptly and very easy to reach. Location was the best! At first we thought the 5 minute drive up the mountain was insane with the narrow winding road but after a few times up and down it was no problem. The house was fully stocked with lots of towels and kitchen accessories. So much to do in the area. We highly recommend this house!

Great Mountain House, in the heart of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Some things to consider....
This house is absolutely massive. Definitely a great house for a large group. We had 13 here and it can definitely hold more quite easily. 2 hot tubs and balconies on each floor. Bathrooms in each bedroom. It's very good for large groups. The views from the balcony are really amazing. Overlooks downtown Gatlinburg's main strip. Each night our group was outside enjoying the views. There were a few small details that knocked one star off the review for the group. The faucet in the kitchen was very hard to use. You need to have it EXACTLY right to turn it off. The drive up is definitely tricky and several members of the group outright said they WILL NOT drive out/come back at night. The washing machine on the bottom floor made some horrible noises and was shaking when we used it. Also, I could not locate where the noise was coming from but from 2am to 3am on several nights there was some weird noise that kept several people up. I'm not sure if it came from the house or the town. The noise from the main strip DOES carry up to the house quite well. I suppose being in a valley does this. Overall we really enjoyed the house, I think the positives far outweigh the negatives. Just want to be clear in case anyone else wants feedback!

Beautiful 🤩
Absolutely beautiful cabin! Right at the Gatlinburg strip which made everything SO convenient. All the rooms were a great size and had king beds and private bathrooms which was perfect. The beds could be a lot more comfortable but they weren’t the worst. We saw a bear multiple times while there and it even slept on our balcony one day which was cool.
The whole house was stocked with what you would need and expect. It was nice having a box fan or tower fan in every room, and the upstairs stayed so cold it was perfect.
The wi-fi wasn’t slow and It was nice having a roku to log into my own stuff and watch what I wanted!

Beautiful cabin with some flaws
The cabin itself is gorgeous and offers beautiful views, that cannot be argued, but we ran into several large appliances not working during our stay; the fridge downstairs wouldnt get cold, one microwave didnt work, one dishwasher never worked properly etc, and even though management responded quickly and tried to help, it's still disappoiting when there are 17 people staying all together in the cabin. Bottom line, when you're paying a couple thousand dollars a night, you have certain expectations, and there were some aspects that was dissappointing.

Wonderful and nice property

5.0
It’s a very nice cabin, better than the pictures online. Loved the fact that each bedroom had a private bath, fireplace and access to the deck. Unfortunately, not all access doors to the deck were functioning. The road to get to the cabin is extremely difficult with hairpin turns and essentially not wide enough to meet another car.

Spacious, Fun & Clean
This place was enjoyed by all. From the three huge porches, to the two hot tubs to the fantastic table that fit almost all of us. Game room & pool table was a great place for the kids to chill and have fun. Most of all we loved the living room space for games, conversations and just relaxing to read. We had 4 families meet up for a week vacation and just had a blast. The view overlooks the city, but that's not too bad a trade off for all the rest you get. And it's kind of fun seeing the glittering lights below at night.
