What a fabulous place. Perfect location and perfect hosts. Host was extremely organized and helpful

Our family of 13 enjoyed our stay here very much. Great location, lots of bear sightings. Beautiful cabin

Roaring Fork Lodge was about 1 mile from downtown Gatlinburg so the location was great. There were 15 in our group and sleeping space worked well for our group. Bathrooms worked but only three full bathrooms and 3 half baths. In the lower level there were three bedrooms and only one full bathroom, so some sharing. The bottom level had a bunk room but no bathroom. The kitchen was well-stocked except for silverware. There were only 9 forks and 3 or 4 spoons and similar number of knives. We ended up buying plastic ware. The grill was advertised as a working grill but needed to be cleaned and seasoned. These concerns aside, the house was roomy and spacious. The game room and media room were great for the kids. The decks were wonderful for sitting and gathering. The biggest concern was also the biggest treat….bears. We saw many bear every day, up close and personal. One came up to the front door. Others came up on the decks, one tried to open the latch on the door, which fortunately was locked. One napped on the yard. Others walked by the fire pit. As fun as it was to see these bears, we had to be aware when we were outside or on the decks. It was obvious that past renters had fed them, which is dangerous for people and bears. The owner, Chris, was easy to reach and addressed any concerns we had. His communiques were thorough and very informative. I’d gladly rent from him again but might choose a house that had a better bedroom to bathroom ratio.

Family of 15 had a great stay inn a wonderful property. Lots of bear sightings too!

Had a fantastic week at Roaring Fork. The house was perfect for our group of 15 family members ranging in ages from 4 to 70+. The basement with game room and movie theater was a huge hit for everyone. The place was very clean and house instructions were clear and helpful. Would definitely recommend this rental. We will be thinking of our mornings and evenings spent on the covered deck with amazing views for a long time.

This was a family vacation with our 4 adult children and their boyfriend/girlfriends, and it was a great vacation. The cabin was very clean and well maintained, and loved the location. Even saw black bear on and around the property each day of our trip (they didn’t bother us at all). Overall was a great place to stay and we will be using the cabin again for our next family trip to Gatlinburg.

We were a family group of 16 people, aging from 67 down to 2 years old. ( 8 adults, 1-teen, and 7 kids between 2-9 years old. ) Roaring Fork Lodge far exceeded our expectations. 1. Communication directly with owners was great before, during, and after our stay. Chris was quick to respond and very easy to work with. We had a couple of minor things we needed to contact Chris about. Quick and easy resolutions. 2. Clean and adequately stocked. We brought extra things such as paper towels, hand soap, bath soap, etc. The instructions are very clear on what is supplied and what you need to bring. 3. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the amenities of the cabin. Lots of big spaces for gathering and small nooks to read or just enjoy the scenery. 4. We were visited 22 times by bears!!! This was the highlight of our trip. The last day was “everyone do your favorite thing” day. The majority just wanted to stay and enjoy the cabin. That says it all! The few that ventured out were jealous because that day was our best bear visit day! 5. We also enjoyed: Anakeesta, Chimney Tops Picnic area with gorgeous stream, Cataract Falls, Apple Barn, Pigeon Forge Snow, The Titanic Museum, Dollywood, and walking downtown. 6. This cabin gave the feel of being high on the mountain. However, it was close to town, store, National Park, and Pigeon Forge! We would definitely stay in this cabin again! We made lasting family memories here. Enjoy your stay!!

Our family had a wonderful experience and weekend celebrating my Mom’s 82nd birthday! We had so much fun and the accommodations were wonderful! Our grandchildren and great nieces and nephews had the best time and made so many lifelong memories!! Take Chris seriously when he sends the bear warnings … we saw them multiple times! This is a great property and we will definitely be back!!
