Check in was seamless. Location was just perfect. Clean house. Responsive owners. Now, let’s talk about how this place functioned for our family of 4 with 2 younger kids. The games were a big hit. This cabin is a 2 bedroom with a loft which serves as a 3rd bedroom and game room but has no door for privacy. At first, when we got there, our kids were fighting over who would sleep in the loft. However, when nighttime came and they realized there were lots of windows in the loft and no curtains or shades, they both got a little scared to be in the loft alone, so they both slept in the second bedroom together in the king bed. Worked out perfectly. I didn’t really want them in the loft anyway. They probably would have played games all night! Lol. The beds were quite squeaky/loud, but comfortable with comfy pillows. Now, let’s talk about the Bears! The morning after we arrived, we discovered wet dirt bear smudges on all four doors and handles of our car. Thankfully, we left no food in the car. No damage to the car, which was nice. The third morning as we were loading up the car to go on a hiking adventure, my wife and daughter were standing at the car and as I walked out the front door, I was 5 feet away from Mama bear and a cub who were just standing there looking at us. A little startling, but cool. I made some noise as mama bear tried to open the car door with my wife and daughter inside, then she went away and her cub followed. All things considered, 5 star experience.

We travelled from Houston by road with family and cannot be more happier with this centrally connected and excellent property with everything you need. Though some of the views are covered due to springtime, if you need to relax with family, have fun and love to cook, look no further. I stayed during my earlier visit in Pigeon Forge but I liked this location as its 5 mins from Ober mountain for all fun activities as well drive to Ziplines and other activities or drive to Clingman dome. We had bears visit on all days of our stay as this property is on bear pass route. I cannot thank enough the owner Justin for his excellent communication and response for any questions I had. I will def. come back here when I plan Smoky trip again in future.

Our stay couldn’t have been better! Lovely, modern home with plenty of room for all our family! Lots of room for games. Perfect hot tub! Lots of tables w/ chairs for outdoor and indoor dining! Many lanes and roads for checking out the other houses!
