    Spent the weekend here with a church youth group while in Gatlinburg for a youth rally. The house is beautiful and well kept. Very well stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes and silverware. It needed a couple of pitchers for tea and lemonade- but very minor compared to some other places we've stayed. Plenty of tools to cook with and grill with as well as pots and pans. The host was very communicative prior to arrival. The property was available on time as promised. We appreciated the notification of what would be available and what we should bring with us. As for the views, they were beautiful! The kids loved the movie rooms, arcade games, and the pool table. The only complaint we had which is no fault of the host is that all the bathrooms are off of the bedrooms. There's not a common bath/ half bath on the main level that people can use... and it felt a little awkward for the kids sleeping on the pull out couches to feel like they were going into someone's room to use a bathroom. Weird floor plan thing, not a host thing.We were very happy with the stay and would recommend considering this property and its host.

    We loved the views from the property and the daily visits from the bears. The host was easily accessible and responded quickly to messages. The kitchen was well appointed and we loved the large seating area. Our kids enjoyed the game area upstairs. Several items were broken in the house but were shared with the property manager who states they will be fixed after our departure.

    Very nice and big cabin. The 2 queen sized bunk beds in the one room was very good for our group! Large clean kitchen and plenty of room for all of us to eat! View is amazing. Please lock all you car doors if you stay here as many bears seen in the area and the cabin next to us, the bear actually opened the car door and ransacked the car!

    My family and I enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The check in process was smooth and we did not run into any issues during our stay. We loved everything about the cabin from the amount of space, views, bear sightings, etc.

    It’s a great place for a large group and pets. There were just two of us and two little dogs so the fees were very high for two people. Good location. Some of the games a bit tired. Same with jacuzzi. Tv remotes a real challenge. Fantastic view

    I rated overall 3 due to house being beautiful with an amazing view. Bears were amazing to see everyday! As we are a big family it was accommodating for us all. The issue was we were charged for a pool stick that was already broken upon an our arrival. Second was the AC not working in the bedroom three. All week it was super uncomfortable to even be in there. After maintenance was called out the issue wasn’t fixed, it was still super hot in there. Downstairs sink was clogging up.
