Lovely home with amazing views! We had a great time! Several reviews talked about the steep drive way but our Subaru outback had no problem.

Very scenic view from our cabin, very well stocked kitchen.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunset Lodge! The entire place is beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen is awesome. The views are absolutely gorgeous!!! My husband and I brought his Mother in celebration of her 90th birthday. The Smoky Mountain fall weather was “porch-sittin’ perfect”! We even discovered we could easily “spot” Sunset Lodge from the Foothills Parkway. The steep driveway was even steeper than we had imagined. But our Ram 2500 had NO PROBLEM conquering the driveway. Me? Well, I just closed my eyes and pretended I was on a steep roller coaster ride. No problem at all! Thanks for sharing your beautiful place.

Its a beautiful cabin with everything you need. Very quite area with nice views. The driveway is steep, but it isn't bad with a 4x4 vehicle. I became an expert driving up it after a few times. We enjoyed watching the bears from the upper deck and we did see a mama bear with 3 cubs playing in the road. Highly recommend staying here.

The house and stay were amazing. Right in the heart of everything you would want to see in heart of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Also, tons of great spots to stop and hike in the Smokey's close to the area. The house is beautiful and the views from the balcony were amazing. Would definitely recommend the house and when we return to the area, this will be the first place I look for. A wonderful, relaxing vacation!!!

The property is beautiful, the views breathtaking, and after a somewhat rocky start, we enjoyed our stay. There were four areas that should be addressed:Hot tub did not workGrill did not workUnwashed dishes were found in the dishwasherWhen turning down the bed in the upper floor bedroom, the remote was found under the covers ??

The cabin is beautiful, and just as pictured. The driveway is not for the faint of heart, but once you drive it a few times-it’s not so bad. Very quiet neighborhood, with beautiful views. We even saw a mama bear and her three cubs while there! The location of the cabin is close to everything. Communication with the owner was simple, easy, and effective. She responded to every message I had within a few hours. Truly a great experience.

Garbage left in the house, uneaten food, and laundry in the shower

Second level door wide open Hot tub had bugs and sediment in the bottom Lady bugs everywhere in cabin Driveway is only for extreme off roaders, 45 degree Trash cans full, so we took if with us Poor cleaning, if any Garage a mess

First of all, we have been coming to this area for over 30 years. The chalet is very nice inside and very well stocked. The owner was responsive. However, when I messaged about getting in early, I never received a response. Upon arrival, we were literally shocked at the steepness of the driveway! We had issues with our all-wheel drive vehicle after climbing the hill. So much so that we had to call AAA and they wouldn't drive up the driveway. We called the owner's recommended mechanic--he never returned our call. The pictures do not justify the hill. If this is rented out in the winter and there snow or ice, I don't know how you would get up it. And upon leaving--it was the most scared I have ever been going down a driveway in this area. I would never rent this property again! I would also suggest that the owner disclose how bad it is. Once you go up I wouldn't suggest leaving until you are ready to go home.

Abysmal getting to it. The house was nice enough, We have stayed in other places in Wears Valley with much better results. Would not rent this property again.

Best kitchen ever! VERY clean and spacious. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Beautiful cabin and great location! The description is accurate about the driveway. You do need an AWD or 4WD vehicle. Great vacation and wedding weekend!

My family enjoyed the cabin itself. It was clean, accommodating, and peaceful. Beautiful sunsets. Well equipped kitchen. The driveway is another matter. It is possible to drive up the driveway with a front wheel drive vehicle, at least on a dry day, if you have proper momentum. But the driveway texture in the middle (provided for traction) will eat your tires. On one of our trips up, we didn't have enough momentum, stopped at a weird angle and ended up needing a tow truck to correct the angle so we could back down the driveway safely. We ended up needing to buy new tires to drive home. When we rented a 4-wheel drive Jeep, it went up pretty easily in low gear. You also want something with some clearance otherwise you will scrape the bottom of your vehicle on some of the turns. Save yourself some heartache and follow the 4-wheel/all-wheel drive recommendation. If you do, I am sure you will enjoy this cabin as we did even with the mishaps.

Had a great time! The cabin was amazing, there was everything and more in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Views were outstanding. We did not take the steep driveway warning seriously, we did not have problems with my All Wheel drive Edge but it is very steep. Not a lot of room for a truck to park at the top. We were packing the car and left the back hatch open, we lost a 5 pound bag of lifesavers to a bear. Only left the car for less than 2 minutes. Nice location to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Would definitely stay here again

“The Views” and the home itself… everything was perfect! Our family fit comfortably with so much space to spread out and relax or play games. The Kitchen is so fabulous we never even went out to eat. Our minivan did not make it up the driveway which we were completely aware was a possibility prior to arrival so we parked on the pad at the bottom and my son in laws Nissan did make it up, so he was our shuttle all week! All in all amazing house, hope we can rent it again!!

We booked this stay over a year ago and at the time there were no reviews regarding the driveway. HOWEVER, we failed to make it up to the house on TWO separate occasions, one of which required a tow truck. Most cabins in TN say 4 wheel drive, all wheel drive recommended, and every other stay our vehicles have made it just fine. This listing says it but means REQUIRED. We had two small SUVs that were not all wheel or 4 wheel that both failed to make it. If this happens to you, good luck because your mirrors are also worthless when you have to back down the side of a mountain with two decent curves in it. The house itself was wonderful. We are a family and our kids are grown with their own spouses. Each couple got their own floor essentially which worked very well for us. We loved the hot tub, the pool table and the big dining table for games. At the house it is an active bear area so we spent a lot of time watching for bears. They come right up into the fire pit and even came onto the lowest level of the porch. It was wonderful to be able to see the wildlife. We spent a lot of time on the second level deck in the outdoor living area and enjoyed the ring game. We found the indoor furniture to be not so comfortable however the beds were AMAZING. We all slept so well! Between the owner or previous guests the home was well stocked with detergent, pots/pans, mixing bowls, spices, etc. which was a nice surprise. Overall very enjoyable when you subtract the stress of the driveway.

We had a wonderful week at this cabin. Most of the reviews mention the driveway. Yes...it is a hard one to get up. That is the price you pay for the beautiful view. I drive a Kia Sportage and I would put it in sports mode and all wheel drive. Get as big of a run as I could and floor it. Right before I got to the top it would feel like I wasn't going to make it, but always did. We did see a bear our first day which was cool, but made going outside a little scarier. We finally decided to make a fire our last day. The bear was back, but as soon as he heard our voice he went back up into the woods. I believe he was more scared of us, then we were of him. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything that you need. This cabin and the view is beautiful!
