This cabin was amazing! Great location as it is only like 3 blocks off the main road, but the cabin is so high up and in the trees, it feels like you are legit in the middle of the mountaints. Cabin was super spacious with 3 levels. Hot tub was awesome. Cabin was very clean. And the property owners were extremely helpful and very quick with responding. Would HIGHLY reccomend.

We had a wonderful time! We saw a bear a couple days while we were there. We were able to walk to Gatlinburg. It was about a fifteen minutes walk. There is a hill to walk back up but we didn't mind. My son loved playing pool and the movie room was great on our last day when we were tired and just wanted to relax!

Justin’s Airbnb was exactly as described. It’s was comfortable and cozy. We had everything needed to cook all of our meals which was so nice! The beds were very comfortable and the views were amazing! We saw 3 bears while there, which was an added bonus! It was perfect for our stay!

The cabin was great, everything as described. We did have a little problem opening the door with the code but called and got assistance right away. We loved the proximity to downtown Gatlinburg but it was secluded above the main drag as well. Lots of trucks going by up the hill but we didn’t mind in case we needed any assistance. Very peaceful deck area, surprised to see the 2nd lower deck. Basement game area was great, would have been fun with another couple. We did see a bear almost every day which was exciting for us but we never felt threatened, we just kept our distance and he moseyed along. We actually looked forward to seeing him everyday. Our grand son enjoyed seeing the videos. We would definitely stay there again.

The Cabin was great. Location is perfect, scenic view is great and close to the town if you want to eat out and stroll. Also the cabin is clean and equipped with cooking ware and utensils if you want to cook.
We had a wonderful time and stay. I highly recommend this Cabin. Justin also was easy to be reached and responded promptly with our text/ email. He is a great host.

We had a wonderful stay! Would recommend to anyone looking for a place near the downtown area but also seeking some privacy away from the crowd. Everything was as advertised and the place was very clean. My only caution would be to make sure you clear your vehicle (and make sure to lock it) of any food! (including MRE’s in backpacks) We walked outside to a family of 3 bears inside of my car enjoying all of my MRE’s in my backpacking bag. While black bear are not typically aggressive towards humans, they certainly love our food and Gatlinburg is their home too! 5 stars from us!

The Vinson cabin was beautiful, a little higher up the mountain than we anticipated but it was quiet and very close to all the attractions we wanted to do. Justin was an amazing host and even though we only had one little issue beyond anyone's control everything was amazing.. We even had a cute visitor that made my littlest day. Definitely recommend this cabin!

Love this house in the mountain
We loved this house. The view was amazing and we even saw a little black bear up the hill. It was so close to everything we wanted to do too.
