Smoky Lake Retreat - Luxury Family Cabin

Nice place, good location. Host were great and very responsive to everything.

Beautiful pet friendly place. It worked wonderful for our family vacation. The location is more remote than expected but we really enjoyed the privacy. The check in and out was super easy.

Overall the cabin was fine but It was smaller then pictures made it look. Some things were in need of repair and it was missing some general necessities like, paper towels, enough toilet paper, shampoo, soap and not enough bath towels. There was a fire pit advertised but in the house rules we were told we could not use it. There were also rules about being a smoke free house. I can understand in the inside but also not allowed outside and advised there were “smoke censors” around the house to let them know if we were. I was initially told we had all the towels we were allowed but after I spoke with the cleaning manager, Paula, we were given more. The bedroom to the left had a terribly uncomfortable bed as well. The house was nice and clean and very quiet. I attached a few photos of the disrepairs.

The listing says boat slip, there is a dock not a boat slip. Had to take boat out of water each time used and was not planning on doing so. The driveway is rough, we had to call AAA to replace a tire. The house is beautiful and lots of space! There were a few cosmetic things with walls and some dresser drawers (all which were not a big deal to us) The property manager for the resort, Kim is fantastic!!

Very nice cabin! Absolutely love the seclusion! The driveway is in need of some help as it feels like you are 4 wheeling for just a bit. There were a few imperfections throughout the cabin, but nothing that hindered our day to day living. The guest house was a nice bonus! The hosts were very responsive with any questions we had. Memories were made and a fun time was had by all! house was a nice

We did enjoy our time. Loved the wrapped around porch. Would have liked to have a tv in each room but did great without. The bed was so comfortable. The drive way needs to be regraded very rough.

We loved our stay. The cabin was beautiful- even prettier than we were expecting! GPS led us past the driveway, so be ready to turn in the driveway before you have arrived- it is gravel driveway with large rutts, which makes for an exciting drive up the hill- but it is worth it at the top and if our minivan can make it, your vehicle should too! We loved that each bedroom had it's own bathroom (loft doesn't have a shower, so that needed to be shared with downstairs, which was fine), and the playground and game room were a hit! The basketball game was broken, but you could still use it unpowered, and all of the other games worked and were a blast! Homeowners were responsive when game room was locked and the fireplace wasn't working- both were fixed the next morning. Kitchen was well stocked, grill had propane and an extras full tank just in case. The hot tub was clean and hot with a nice step stool up to it, and the best part was how private the home was with the trees surrounding and being offset from the road. The neighbors on the same driveway had two dogs that ran into the driveway and (up to the house on one occasion), so keep an eye out not to run them over when coming and going! It was a short 20 min drive into Pigeon Forge and about 40-50 mins to Gatlinburg depending on traffic. Couldn't have been happier with the cabin- thanks for a great stay!

The cabin is great for all ages. We had ages ranging from adults to a 1 year old, and the cabin was perfect for all. Communication was great with the owners when we needed their quick response.

Overall this was a very nice property. The owners did a great job of communicating with us. I will say that we had an issue with the water. It smelled like straight sulfur when we arrived. However, the owners did respond quickly and had the problem fixed the next day.
