The place was perfect, almost in a mundane and way. Everything just worked perfectly, was perfectly clean, was perfectly organized. It was really easy to take my kids to a variety of activities, so I feel like the location is great. We did the hot tub which was clean and worked and great. The Wi-Fi had an issue, the host immediately responded with an alternate Wi-Fi that worked great. The place was beautiful and all that, but I appreciated it for just being exactly what it's supposed to be with zero complications. And my kids loved it.

Very cute and clean . The whole family enjoyed . Everything was very close and pool was a very short ( although up/down a hill) walk that made access easy . Any question I had was immediately answered. Loved the privacy of hot tub and decor .

Our stay in the cabin was peaceful and it was as close to everything. The host was accommodating and continually available if needed. It was clean and comfortable for our large family with plenty to do in the area. The teenagers enjoyed the pool table and the arcade machine. We were able to view the Fourth of July fireworks a couple blocks down the road and catch the tram to Dollywood and surrounding activities.

Beautiful, clean cabin. The kitchen was very well stocked - it had everything we needed to make breakfast every morning and a few dinners during our stay. The beds were comfortable. It was nice having a bedroom and full bath on the main level so my elderly mother didn’t have to walk the stairs. The host was super responsive and addressed any issues super fast. Great location right off of Teaster.

Communication was VERY fast & host was helpful and friendly. The cabin was just as pictured. The beds were comfortable rooms had great curtains to keep rooms dark. Kitchen had plenty of pots, pans, plates, cups, utensils, etc. Loved the layout - there was plenty of space. The location was fantastic! We were here for a baseball tournament and it was only 6-7 minutes from the fields. Would recommend!

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at this cabin! It was just the right size for our group (3 adults + 4 kids) and in the perfect location for going to Dollywood. The cabin was very clean and stocked with all the essentials (toiletries, dish soap, sponge, a couple of clothing detergent pods). Blackout curtains and very comfortable beds made sleeping in a different space very enjoyable. We would definitely consider staying here again in the future.

We were pleased to find a place that offered so many amenities for young children being we had several with us in our group! The kitchen was well stocked with lots of cooking utensils including vegetable peeler, which we were happy to find. It was nice that they had a couple stainless steal stockpots and wood cutting boards, we typically avoid cooking on non-stick and using plastic cutting boards. That said, they still only had non-stick skillets but that was expected. I always bring my own cast iron pan and cutting board on vacations anyways.
The kids enjoyed the hot tub and we were pleased to read that they empty and refill after each stay.
I went on several walks during our stay there and the view of the mountains from up the hill was lovely. It was also fun to hear the Dollywood steam train during the day. But don’t worry you can really only hear it when you go outside or are up the hill.
