My grandson graduated high school and decided on Gatlinburg for a family trip. We rented this home to accommodate 13 people- my husband and I, my three grown kids, their spouses, and my grandchildren (between the ages of 3 and 18). It was a great home in a great location and definitely served us well. The house was clean and spacious. Each room has a bathroom which was helpful with so many people. We had quite a few bear visitors, they even ate our corn hole bags! The location is up a steep road but the view from the top is great. The basketball net was an added bonus. Overall, our stay was great, no issues at all. Highly recommend!

We found this cabin to be a good fit for our family. It is spacious, with lots of outdoor seating. It is also located a good distance from other cabins, giving it a secluded feel.

The cabin was just as advertised- the view was awesome, every amenity was present, and much thought had been given to what guests would need. It was especially remarkable to find that view so close to downtown Gatlinburg, grocery stores, and restaurants.

What you see is what you get; very accurate listing. But I want to mention some things that you might not realize. 3.5 balcony-style areas. Each of the four bedrooms has access (either directly or it's right next to it) to their own balcony. 2 of the 'balconies' are on the ground level and one of those has the hot tub... that's why I say ' 3.5 balcony-style'. There is no large/massive balcony for 12 people to hang out on all at once. The 2 balconies on the main floor can comfortably fit 6 people. The balconies are also quite private. Other neighboring cabins clearly have no privacy at all: You could be out on your balcony and you could throw an orange to somebody in a different rental. But THESE balcony areas were not exposed to many other windows etc from neighboring properties The kitchen is stocked well with cutlery, dishes and cooking equipment. There was nothing we were looking for that we couldn't find. I think we only saw 1 cutting board and it was broken - still usable. The AC was a bit weak; it was never very uncomfortable but not quite cold. Cool arcade game. Master Bath's soaking tub was great. Entering/exiting driveway was rough do to columns close to path. My only complaint would be that the emails from the owners were overbearing. Lots of repeated info and many negative sentences blaming prior guests for some of the rules. I advise running the automated emails through ChatGPT. 4/5 for communication 4/5 for A/C 90/90 everything else 98/100 total :)

This was a great place to spend some time together as a family. We had 13 people in our party, 7 adults and 6 children. There was plenty of space to gather as a family and also have some private space when needed. The cabin is beautiful, with a well equipped kitchen, nice views, and aworking hottub. Just be prepared for a very steep ascent to get to the cabin. We all made it up in 2wd, but that would not be the case in winter weather. It would be even more treacherous going down in a situation like that. We had about 5 bear encounters during our 5 day stay at the cabin. None were agressive, but they were definetly comfortable around humans, so alwayss be smRt. Check in and check-out process was smooth. The only small complaint I have was that one of the pull out beds was grimy and the right hand lower bathroom door handle was not functioning properly. We couldn't get it to lock properly, until one point we locked ourselves out. The owner was good about andwering my questions thoroughly and in a timely manner via text. Overall, great stay.

Our cabin was excellent. Very modern, secure, and clean. Will stay there again in the future. Very close to all the sites in Gatlinburg. Great communication to book a rental. Thanks

We thoroughly enjoyed Bella Vista Lodge. Beautiful place and great location.

Very nice cabin rental with great views and plenty of room in the house for bigger groups.
