We absolutely loved this place! We love to see Bears and we got to see a mom and her young cubs daily. It was such a highlight. The home has beautiful serene colors and large windows to enjoy the outside without being outside. We will be back soon!!!

Great experience

The rooms and beds were extremely comfortable. We loved the convenient location. Everything was exceptional. I look forward to returning and staying here again.

Great stay!

We enjoyed our stay. House was clean and equipped with everything we needed. Great location too.

Pleasantly pleased it was as advertised. Clean, bright, roomy, well stocked kitchen and baths, comfortable furniture and beds. The kids spent a ton of time playing on the deck and in the yard.

It was an amazing trip and we enjoyed staying here. The only thing I felt uncomfortable about was the little bugs that fly in if you leave the door open too long. All in all, this is a highly recommended place!!!

Very nice place and we enjoyed it tremendously. Beautiful view and was very relaxing inside and loved the outdoor porch. Views were amazing. Special note the bedrooms were all downstairs and all the main house upstairs. For us sleeping was really nice as it’s cooler downstairs. All open windows upstairs was very nice as well. Just loved staying here and would stay again!

Outstanding Location & Beautiful Property

Out first visit to the Smokies was lovely due in large part to the outstanding location and well equipped rental we secured. The house was immaculately clean, with sweeping views of the mountain and town on both sides. The kitchen was well equipped, but offered plenty of space for stashing snacks. The bedrooms were quiet and beds were very comfortable. The hosts were informative and responsive and the check-in/check-out process was exceedingly simple. Highly recommend!!

Great Place to Stay!

We spent Christmas at this house as a family group of six- four adults and two kids. Everyone was comfy and loved it! The bunk room was great for the kids and the two king beds were so comfortable. We used the kitchen a lot and it was very well appointed. The host even put up a small Christmas tree! One of the best things about the house is how it has great views and is not in a high traffic/crowded area, but downtown Gatlinburg is less than five minutes away. We would definitely stay here again!

A gem in the hills

First of all, the property is even better in person - the pictures do not do it justice. This was such a great spot from booking to checkout. It was extremely clean and had everything we needed from a standpoint of kitchen appliances/utensils to towels and sheets. The beds were very comfortable and clean. You can sleep 10 with 2 in each of the 4 beds and 2 on the couch. We had 6 and that is probably the best number - considering the eating and living area. There was the daily bear and her cub to look at as well. This place is just far enough from downtown not to hear the traffic, but close enough to be anywhere in 5 minutes. When we come back to Gatlinburg, I will not have to spend time looking for a place to stay.

Family vacation

The grandkids and the adults love seeing the bears that come up in the yard and even the front door.

We enjoyed our stay. Common areas (kitchen, dining, and living room) are spacious, bright, and were great for family time together. Everything was SUPER clean and the kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed. Very good washer/dryer downstairs by bedrooms and bathrooms (very convenient) I wouldn't recommend this property for groups over five or six (we had three adults and four kids in our party) as the bedrooms are a bit small for more than two people and sharing two bathrooms. I would also suggest bringing extra towels as there were only eight towels so we had to do laundry every day. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The location was very quite and very easy to get to everything in Gatlinburg. The local bear, Nellie, made a few appearances in the yard and was exciting for everyone. I feel it was a good value for the money.

Hi Joel! Thanks for your review. I'm so glad you enjoyed Deer Ridge Retreat. The spacious, bright common areas and well-equipped kitchen were highlights. Your suggestion about extra towels for larger groups is noted! How amazing you got to see Nellie the bear! We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Take care!

We booked this cabin for a sisters weekend!!! There was more room than we ever expected. The pictures do not do enough justice for the rental. The hosts were very willing to make sure everything was perfect!!! What a beautiful place to stay! Definitely plan on telling friends and family about this gem. You will not be disappointed!!!!

My family and I loved the property and had a great time in Gatlinburg! The house was private, away from the center, yet close enough to enjoy all of the local attractions. Justin was always responsive, and helpful. We definitely recommend it!
