We really enjoyed our stay. Check in was seamless and efficient. The kitchen facilities were clean and well stocked with all the things you need to prepare a meal. The internet was great no issues. Everything we did was within minutes of the cabin and very accessible to everything, Overall was a great experience. I would highly recommend for your stay!

We traveled with 14 students, 3 teachers, and a 20 month old for a school field trip for a 6 day stay in the mountains. The kids loved the cabin.

We loved our stay here. Cabin was clean and check in and check out was super easy. Hosts were very easy to get in touch with when needed. Highly recommend this property!

Beautiful cabin with tons of extras! Tons of dishes and cookware as well as everything you need to cook. Pots and pans could use a really good scrubbing as we had to scrap crud off of them before we could use them. Furniture needed to be swept under, but overall cabin was clean and beds were comfortable. We saw the neighborhood bear, Nellie as soon as we pulled into the driveway. We enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay here again in the future. Justin was very prompt in responding to any questions or concerns we had.

The house was exactly how it was listed. Everything was great for our large group. It was close enough to enjoy all the fun activities Gailtinburg has to offer but still far enough away from the crowded areas. The owner Justin responded to any questions we had right away. We did see a couple of bears but they went away as soon as they heard us. Overal a great stay. We would definitely come back !

Excellent place to stay! Nice location! Super sweet hosts and easy to work with! Looks bigger in person than in pictures! Would stay again if it’s available!

- Posted: 3/29/2025

We had lots of spaces to sleep and eat and fellowship together. The cabin was clean and had great views. There were a couple of missing amenities (ice maker and hot tub were not working). A repair person came out to look and when they found it was not going to be a quick fix, we were given a generous partial refund.

Our family meet in Gatlinburg for a family type reunion there was 20 of us in total and there was plenty of space every bedroom has a bathroom so that was awesome!!if you got a large group this place is perfect and you can be on the main drag in less than 10 mins and that’s driving and parking!! We love the Smoky Mountains didn’t want to come home!! We saw bears everyday! I’d give this place a 5star! Very close to perfect!!

Hey Angie! Thanks for the awesome review! Thrilled you and your family had a great time at Nature's Haven Lodge. Always a pleasure to hear our guests made special memories. Seeing bears every day must've been a unique experience! You're always welcome back whenever you're in the area. Thanks for choosing our property for your family reunion!

Smoky Mountain Holiday staff

We will be back! Justin was extremely available to assist with some questions directly after check in. We checked in and the most spacious cabin and listed amenities were available through our stay. It’s extremely close to Gatlinburg, but seems further as the only sounds we really heard were the beautiful birds every time we outside. The black bears must have a den to the left of the cabin. They were non aggressive and definitely NOT afraid of their property. We watched closely due to having our grandbabies- so playing outside was not an option. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge especially had perfect things to do for the little ones. This cabin surprised me with the amount of space it has. I can’t wait to stay again- EVERYONE in our large family had a perfect space in this homey felt cabin! Thank you Justin for being our host!

Smoky Mountain Holiday staff

My group and I were so impressed with our stay. All of the instructions were very clear and we had tons of helpful information before our check-in day for us to know what to expect. There was plenty of space and well worth the price per person. Everything was very clean, especially the bathrooms. There was enough privacy for everyone and in the perfect location because we could get downtown so quickly. The host is very quick to respond and handle any questions. Every airbnb should be like this one. Highly recommend !!

- Posted: 4/21/2024

Thanks for the review, Alyssa! Delighted your group enjoyed the stay. I strive for clear instructions and helpful info. Glad you found it clean and worth it! Keeping the place tidy is a priority.

From beginning to end, our stay was amazing! Justin sent helpful information, offers, and was very helpful with any questions we had. This house was perfect and super close to downtown. We had so much fun enjoying our girl's trip. Will definitely be back. We even saw Nelly, the local black bear the first night we were there.

Great place to stay. Justin was easily accessible with questions. Check In and Check out were simple and easy. Couple cosmetic issues in the house but absolutely nothing preventing us from having a great time and a great place to stay. Justin has the issues on his list to address and fix. Great home and would rent again with the large group we had for our youth conference.

The size and location was perfect for our large extended family! It was only about 1 mile from the main strip in Gatlinburg. We could see Anakeesta from our second floor porch! Maybe 2-3 miles from a large food city grocery store. Very handy location for everyone for everything we wanted to do! The property was all as advertised and the size and sleeping arrangements were perfect. The hot tub was not functional unfortunately and we were looking forward to that. It needs some attention to some items like the plumbing in some baths and some work on the laminate floors. And I would request more space for trash. In a house that large that can hold 26 people, a lot of trash is created and there was limited space to dispose of it. Lastly, some updated smart TV’s would be great but not a deal breaker. Just tough to keep up with multiple remotes! But definitely 4 out of 5 stars for the overall condition. 5 star overall for the trip though! Justin, the property manager I dealt with was amazing! He text information all hours of the day and on weekends and had no problem answering stupid questions. He Apologized numerous times for the inconvenience of the hot tub and even gave us some credit back and a discount to use in the future! All the BEARS was the best part! We got to see black bears all five days we were there! The kids absolutely loved it! Adults too! At one point we seen six different bears on the property at one time! And could view from a safe distance!

Thank you for your detailed feedback, Clint! We're thrilled to hear that the property's size and location worked perfectly for your large family. We appreciate your observations about the hot tub and other aspects, and we apologize for any inconvenience. I'm delighted to have assisted with your concerns promptly. It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the bear sightings and the overall trip. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future!

Everything was as shown and as expected. Very nice cabin, with very nice, remote, quiet feel, while still a very close, short, easy drive into town (even bike-able or walkable in nice weather). Getting our visit by the bears was an awesome experience and highlight to the stay!

- Posted: 12/10/2023

Hi Glenn, I'm so happy you had a great time at Nature's Haven Lodge and got to see some of the local wildlife! I work hard to ensure that every one of my visitors has a wonderful stay, so I'm happy to hear that the cabin lived up to your expectations. That you were able to locate the cabin close to the town is fantastic.

Smoky Mountain Holiday staff

There were a few issues when we arrived but Justin was quick to respond and handle the issues. The hot tub was not working which was a bummer but not the fault of the host. The bears had gotten in it and totally messed it up. ( we actually saw it getting out of it). The cabin is in a great location of everything and fit the needs of our family perfectly. Thank you Justin for making things right and seeing we had a great vacation.

- Posted: 11/25/2023

Thank you for your understanding and positive feedback! We appreciate your patience regarding the issues upon arrival. Apologies for the hot tub incident—nature sometimes has its way! We're pleased the cabin's location and amenities suit your family's needs. We value your appreciation, and we hope to host you for another great vacation in the future!

Entire family had fun. Close enough for a short drive to the tourist attractions and far enough away to be away from it. Beautiful home at the top of a culd-a-sac. We had a great time with the local bear Nellie (not aggressive and tended to stay away while we were outside). We had a wonderful experience!

- Posted: 10/8/2023

Hey Shane, So glad the convenient location worked out great for your needs. Glad you were able to spend some time with "Nellie" and bring back some stories!

Justin’s place was amazing! Wildlife sights were welcomed and such an experience. Home was perfect for a large family gathering or company retreat. Super close to downtown Gatlinburg. 10/10 will do again

We had nearly twenty people staying with us and the property easily accommodated all of us. The many bathrooms really were nice to have and appreciated by all. We had bears visit us (a mother and four cubs) which was exciting. A little scary until we quickly realized they had no interest in us, just the trash cans. We did not feel unsafe at all. It would have been nice to have a larger refrigerator and larger dining area, but honestly it worked out just fine and everyone was very happy with the property.

Hi Andrew, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Nature's Haven Lodge.

I apologize for the lack of a larger refrigerator and dining area, but I'm glad to hear that it worked out just fine.

This was a great cabin to host a big group and is in a great location. Located in a pretty private environment but still just a short drive away from all the action. Hosts were very responsive and everything was set up perfectly. Would definitely stay again!

There was a refrigerator outside unplugged which we could have surely used but couldn’t. The house is great. The bears visited daily’s mom bear with four cubs made at least 3 appearances. The area activities were super. We did several activities done 4 years ago. We had a great time.

Hi Charlene, I'm glad that you enjoyed the house and the area activities. It's wonderful that you were able to do some of the same activities that you did four years ago.

We had a great stay at this property. There were 15 of us with 6 different families being represented coming from all over. We had plenty of space. The living room area was big enough and we spent most of our time out on the deck enjoying the beauty of God's creation. We had wildlife walking through the property throughout the week. Turkeys, black bears and even a coyote one day. We watched it all from the deck. It was only a few minutes outside of the strip in Gatlinburg, but you would have never known you were that close. It was peaceful and serene. The house was very clean when we got there. There were a few of the 2nd sinks in bathrooms that were not working and the water pressure/hot water did struggle a bit when we were all getting ready to head out in the morning. The one night we used the grill, only one part of the the grill would light, so that slowed up cooking a bit. None of that soured things for us, though. Overall, we would highly recommend this home as a great place to stay and a great value for the price. We would stay there again. You can't beat the location, the scenery and the chance to sit on the deck and watch the wildlife stroll through. Thank you for a great experience!!

- Posted: 6/3/2023

Hey Rebekah! So glad to hear you had an awesome time at Nature's Haven Lodge and got to enjoy the beauty of nature. Those wildlife sightings must have been amazing! Sorry about the sinks not working and the water pressure being a bit wonky during your morning routine. I'll check it out and make sure we fix it ASAP so it doesn't happen again. But hey, I'm relieved that it didn't ruin your overall experience, and thanks for recommending us as a great place to stay at a good price. We're grateful you chose to stay with us!

Our large group really enjoyed staying in this cabin. Justin was very helpful and communicative throughout the entire stay. The cabin is gorgeous, spacious, and very close to the strip. It also had plenty of space to park multiple vehicles. We would recommend any sizable group looking for a place to stay in Gatlinburg to truly consider this one.

This cabin was an amazing place for our family to stay. It was a great location to downtown Gatlinburg (less than 10 min) and it had plenty of room for everyone to spread out. It was great that couples and kids were all able to have their own rooms with a full bathroom. The cabin was clean and communication from the owner was fantastic! I highly recommend this beautiful cabin! BONUS: We were welcomed by Nelly and her cub 2x! It was an unreal experience!
