Gracious Oasis

The accommodations were enjoyable with pleasant decor and a spacious arrangement as a condo with a loft. The patio was very enjoyable and the views surpassed expectations. Access was fine in a minivan in the summer. Make sure you take it easy on your brakes when driving into town (advice from someone who lives where there aren’t hills).

My family and I had the best time! Only downfall was the pool was closed for 3 days. We were able to see several bears, go hiking off the Parkway in the Park, go eat, and enjoy Gatlinburg. We hope to stay here again in the future!

We had a wonderful stay at the condo! The view was beautiful and peaceful, and we truly enjoyed spending time in the pool with the kids. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. We can't wait to come back again. The neighbors were very nice and gave great options on where to take the kids to explore and have fun.

We LOVED our stay! Everything was perfect and cozy, felt right at home. This was so perfect for my group and I as we each got our own bedroom with our own bathroom/tvs. I would definitely stay here again. We were a little sad we didn’t get to see any bears on our stay but maybe next time for sure

Very beautiful condo with breathtaking views of the mountain. We even got to see black bears while we were there. The kids loved the loft area, it was like they’re hidden Hideaway within the getaway. I would definitely come back to this place again.

Came to town for a conference and needed somewhere close to the convention center. Shane’s place was a great option for being close to town and amenities but also feeling secluded. The condo was more than sufficient for our group and the beds were great! We had one little hiccup with WiFi but it was resolved very quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay here. The view was fantastic as well as all the rooms and bathrooms were super spacious for a big family like us staying here. Everything was clean and organized pretty easy to find things around this house. The beds are so comfortable. No complaints on this place, we loved our stay!

It was such a great little place and the hosts always responded SO promptly! The property and amenities were enjoyable and clean. Only recommending is for any future guests (as recommended by the hosts) is to download an offline version map of the area on Google Maps due to potential lack of service. Also the mountain roads are a little narrow so be aware of that but once you get used to them, it’s not so bad.

Fantastic condo! It looks exactly as pictured and the views from the balcony and pool are absolutely stunning! We did also get to see some bears. Would definitely stay here again.

This was what we were looking for. Kids loved the pool. We saw bears in the parking lot. Beautiful view from the balcony. I loved that there were soft blankets in the closet.

Kristie, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at my place. It's always great to hear when the little ones have a good time, especially with the pool. And how cool is it that you got to see bears in the parking lot? That's definitely a memory maker! Thanks again for choosing to stay with me and I hope to have you back for another visit in the future.

first of all Shane is so nice and so quick to answer my questions.. I didn'feel like I was talking to a stranger, so that really made my stay so much better.. the place is so nice and our 2 younger ones loved the upstairs. it was decorated so cute and perfect for them. my bed was very comfy.. However I loved the master suite.. It's beautiful and has a slider to go out on the deck.. I think anyone would love this cabin, it's clean, decorated beautifully, and plenty of space.. I will def. be back

Great house, with comfortable furniture, very clean. Beautiful view. We saw beers two times :)

The condo was really nice and my kids really liked their rooms and the pool that came with. The house was clean and everything looked great just be a little careful driving up the roads if you're not experienced.

Great location and very clean. Loved having 3 bedrooms and bathrooms. Saw bears right outside of our patio!! The use of 3 location of pools was nice. The only compliant would be that the pool closest to us was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday, but we had access to the other pools if we wanted to drive.

Hi Erica! Thanks for the awesome review. I'm thrilled your family loved the condo, and the upstairs suite was a hit with the kids. Creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere is what I aim for with every guest. Thanks for choosing my place, and I look forward to hosting you again in the future. Take care!

Fantastic location! If you want to be up in the mountains but not too far from town, this is the perfect place.
The property is well maintained and has most of the things you’ll need to make yourself comfortable. Plenty of space for a group of 6-7 people and the 3-bathroom is very convenient.
The price is hard to beat. It’s very reasonable but most importantly, Shane communicates very well and cares for the guests to make sure they’ll have a wonderful experience of the Smoky Mountains.
Highly recommended!

Hey Rainier! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm so glad you enjoyed the location of my place - I agree, it's the perfect balance between being in the mountains and still close enough to town. And I'm happy to hear that you found the property well-maintained and comfortable for your group. I always want my guests to have a great experience in the Smoky Mountains. Thanks for recommending my place and I hope you'll come back for another stay in the future! -Shane
