Justin and his cabin are great! Like new with everything you need. We had a great time for my daughters’s 2nd birthday. We even had a bear in one of our vehicles haha lock your doors (as they told us). You won’t regret renting this place!

We loved our stay here, even though it was for a week it felt like it wasn’t long enough. Our boys loved to play games, pool, and putt putt. They also were sad to leave. We counted how many bear sightings and had a total of 30 the whole trip! Definitely worth staying at a cabin compared to a hotel or condo. And most definitely will book again in the future!

Our time here was great. The property is basically brand new and very nice/clean. It is less than 5 minutes to the Gatlinburg strip and approx 15 minutes to Pigeon Forge or the national park, depending on traffic. We saw bear most every morning and evening in the area, which was pretty cool. We would definitely stay again.

The house was in a perfect condition like on the pictures. We saw bears almost every hour, sometimes even with cubs. It was beautiful with the view and the nature. Also the billiard, Minigolf and Whirlpool was an enrichment of our holidays. Justin was perfectly responsive and also solved everything if something came up. We definitely recommend this place and will book it again.
