5/5 w/Amazing Views & pool table WiFi

so cozy!

By the pictures this property looks fitting for 4 families of two, however, when arriving to the house every room in the house was smaller than advertised. There was what appears to be mold/water damage in on of the downstairs rooms. I was charged my security deposit, they sent it back, and then tried to withdraw it again for no reason. We left the place exactly how we found it. Parking was a nightmare there are numerous houses around you and if you all drive SUVs it makes it extremely hard to not be in the way. Not worth the money that was paid.

Be prepared to see bears and make sure you lock your car doors.

My sisters, sister-in-laws, daughter and niece all stayed at this great cabin. All were very pleased with the accommodations. There was parking for our 4 vehicles. The main floor deck was great for gathering and enjoying the beautiful view and the bears that visited below. It is relatively close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The mountain roads are interesting. Very nice kitchen set up. There was hot water for all our many showers:). The refrigerator is roomy and the ice maker was great! The pool table got used for the cabin was clean ad fun times. We didn't try out the hot tubs. The cabin was exactly what we needed for our visit to the park and surrounding towns.

We had bear visitors galore! At least 10differernt bears showed up including sow with a single cub, another with three cubs and yet another wit two cubs and at least two big ol' boys. The accommodations were really nice and I highly recommend Just A Family Lodge. It's close to anything Gatlinburg or any other activity you desire.

Our stay and experience were along the lines of surreal and sensory overload, with amazing views for a much-needed family weekend getaway. We had the privilege to see the family of black bears passing through and, the next day observed their afternoon siesta. They were amazing to watch from our balcony. Our family will remember this place and the memories we had here for a lifetime. The view of the Gatlinburg skyline was the icing on the cake.

We enjoyed staying here. You are in the mountains with a great view, but also can quickly be in the city of Gatlinburg. Great set up for us and 3 adult children.

Overall good . Loved the fireplace. Bed comfy. Location great. Cook wear could have been cleaner. Our 37 yr old down syndrome child needs a bathtub and it was very dirty.

Place is great. 2nd time I have stayed there. Enjoy watching the bears. Remember to keep all doors locked, the know how to open them. We are definitely going back.

Lovely place. I would have given a 5 star, but the bedroom TV’s did not work. The host was very nice over the phone trying to help but the problem was never resolved. One of our guests had just had a hip replacement and spent a lot of time in the bedroom. It would have been nice for her to have a tv in her room as advertised.

Had a great time here with old friends 60-70. The 5 bedrooms with bathrooms were perfect for our 4 1/2 couples. Pool table, hot tubs and view from the deck were a plus and the parking and house were easy to get in and out of. I recommend this place and hope to be back!

Very nice. You will see a lot of bears around the property. We saw bears everyday. Owner was very responsive and beds were very comfortable.

First off Kate was a great host! She was very accommodating to our needs before and during the trip! If you are looking for a great view of the mountains and to see more bears then you can keep up with this is definitely the right location!! Be prepared to see all the bears and to white knuckle your way up and down the mountain! The only reason I did not give this a 5 star was because being dog friendly there really was no where for the dogs to go to the bathroom. We had to walk down the road every time. Which isn’t a big deal we are a very active family. It’s just like I said the bears are everywhere. If I could I would say 4.8 stars out of 5. I would reccomend this cabin to my family and friends just probably will leave the dogs behind next time! I’m eager to be hosted by Kate in one of her beach locations one day!

The property was in a great location, great view of the mountains and liked the sighting of the black bears .

We thoroughly needed and enjoyed Just a Family Lodge. The owner was so accommodating when booking considering our specific situation…we had some medical unknowns we were dealing with. The cabin was clean and smelled nice upon arrival, no complaints whatsoever. The owner wasn’t kidding when she warned about bears though! They are beautiful creatures, but keep your distance! The cabin is in the middle of their game trail and the bears use it daily and we noticed more at dusk/sunset. Momma bears were out with their babies so beware! A few surprised us as we went walking out to our vehicles on multiple occasions, but the last encounter was a little too close for my comfort. We will definitely be back! Hopefully sooner rather than later!

The welcoming committee was a young best that snuck up on us, with in about 3 foot,as we were unloading the car. We were able to scare him off safely. In total we saw about 7 to 8 bears, one being a momma and her cub. The cabin was beautiful and was perfect for the group we had. We enjoyed sitting out on the becks looking for bears, lol. Thank you for a wonderful stay. PS, we had a hard rain Saturday morning and we noticed that the sky light in the kitchen, closest to the oven has a small drip. Just wanted to let you know before it got worse.

The cabin was more than accommodating. Full kitchen with all the necessities. Beds were very comfortable. Scenery was stunning. Plenty of bear activity. We had many encounters with the bears. Make sure that you lock your cars and don't leave any food behind. Kate, our host, was beyond wonderful and always accessible. We loved our stay and we would definitely rebook in the future.
