We had an awesome time at this cabin. Everything matched as far as pictures and descriptions. It was nice and secluded in the neighborhood we were in so we did not feel like we were stacked on top of each other with all of the other homes. You need to make sure that you get the gate code because that was the only thing that we we’re not given. So we had to wait about 20 minutes or so before we can even get into the community. Justin was very timely with his responses and had great recommendations for places to visit and go eat at. We would definitely stay here again as we really had no issues whatsoever besides the gate code thing.

We chose this cabin because of the game room and ability to sleep 8. It was my husband and I, along with our 3 kids (19, 12, 10) and 2 nephews (20, 17). We just wanted a quick relaxing weekend away. Justin was in touch the entire time and was prompt to answer. Previous guests had broken a few things (SNES cord and Foosball table leg) and I reached out so Justin knew. He offered to have them fixed immediately, but it wasn’t a big deal to us and we told him it could wait. He ensured our comfort and satisfaction. The cabin is beautiful and well stocked. It was very clean comfortable. I especially appreciated seeing the children’s plastic cups and plates alongside the other plates and cups. We travel a lot and I remember when my kids were smaller this was a big deal when everything was fancy or glass. This cabin is very family friendly. We had a great time and have saved it to our “Would book again” list.

Justin’s cabin was great! 3 adults, 2 teenagers, and a toddler all stayed. Lots of stuff for the kids to do at this cabin. We seen bears almost daily at this cabin which was fantastic. The only bad parts were the corn hole boards weren’t useable which bummed the older boys out and the tv had a parent control on it which us adults weren’t able to watch scary movies. Being almost Halloween they had a lot of movies on tv we couldn’t watch. Justin was great at replies when I had a few questions. He is quick to respond and always friendly. The cabin is not hard to get to and is close enough to town to be able to make trips. We wish we could have stayed an extra week! One of the bears we seen on porch tried to get into the hot tub and pushed the cover around. Cool to see but I seen why the cover isn’t 100% anymore. Make sure to keep food out of vehicles and keep littles inside especially once it’s dark out. Would recommend to anyone for a great stay.

It was not far at all from Rocky Top Sports for a volleyball tournament my kid was playing in, but for the rest of the weekend, we just wanted to stay in and enjoy ourselves. The hot tub was great! The kids enjoyed the bathtub and ALL the games upstairs. We played lots of pool and air hockey and had the best time! Grill and kitchen were more than adequate for staying in and cooking. Only thing I could even pick at a little was the Wi-Fi wasn’t great in the bedrooms and the Tv refreshed a lot. I was trying to relax and catch some tv for a change and it was challenging, plus my phone didn’t have reception so the Wi-Fi would have been helpful in that situation. Overall though, amazing!

We had an amazing time during our stay! The cabin itself was perfect - just as described, and our kids LOVED the game room! Also, in addition to the hot tub outside there was a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, which was such a nice touch! There was plenty to do in the area and we were pretty much 15-20 minutes away from everything we did- Dollywood, Goats On the Roof mountain coaster/goat feeding/putt-putt, downtown Gatlinburg (loved the Sky Park!). So we were close to everything but still had a secluded cabin in the mountains. We definitely recommend this place and would stay here again for sure!

We have stayed in many cabins. This one had the most to do. Our family really enjoyed the game room. Especially the arcade. There were 5 of us all together. It was pretty quiet, even during the day. The fall foliage was so beautiful. The roads are a little narrow and steep but our mini van did just fine. I suppose if you went in the dead of winter you might need 4x4 or chains. Justin was very pleasant to deal with. Very quick and responsive. We will definitely return.

My family and I stayed for 4 nights and loved the cabin! The kids enjoyed the game room and their own sleeping area in the loft. We couldn’t figure out how to turn the air hockey table on or if it worked. The kitchen had everything needed to cook meals. We took our own beach towels for the hot tub, extra laundry and dishwasher pods, toiletries, and dish shop. The area is wooded and secluded. The drive into the mountains is beautiful and the cabin is close to Gatlinburg and Dollywood, which is what we were looking for. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a must!

Our family of 5 genuinely enjoyed Justin’s home. The location was tucked away nicely behind vegetation giving the illusion of being in the woods without being far removed from a multitude of amenities. We were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the mattresses/bedding were. We slept very well. After a day filled with festivities, we appreciated the comfort. The ac almost worked too well making it a chilly experience inside the cabin; that’s not a bad problem to have!
