Family fun

This property was perfect for our 35-member extended family—from the bedrooms with king-sized beds to the kitchen/living area. The pool table needs some repair but the amenities were great and we saw a mother bear and her 4 cubs each day. Also, loved being able to walk down the hill into town (1/2 mile).

Great cabin in unreal location

We had a great stay in this cabin and it accomodated our whole golf group. The big windows in the living room allow for people on the porch to see into the Television and stay a part of what is going on inside. Kitchen well stocked, and plenty of beds. While we didn't spend too much time at the cabin, we would surely rent again!

Great retreat at a great place!

The property is laid out very well for groups. We had 30 and it was very comfortable. One neat thing about the house is a bedroom on the main level floor had a wheelchair /handicap accessible OPEN shower…I didn’t know it until arriving but the two women I put in there definitely benefited. Also kitchen very well stocked and this was a blessing be a we cooked frequently in the house! Everything was very nice. The location is so easy….

friends super bowl weekend

overall it met our needs with the amount of rooms / beds and ample seating for meals and just enjoying company. the only issues we had was the crisper drawer face in kitchen refrigerator was off the drawer and laying on a shelf in the fridge. and not all the fan remotes had batteries in them or even back covers to keep the batteries in the tv remotes were the same way but these issues were not at all and hindrance to our good time. the house was huge / clean and great location from town.

Home met all our needs. The home was well equipped with more than enough plates, utensils and kitchen wear. Some of the rooms were labeled incorrectly but overall more than enough space for our 40 guest.

Best Weekend at the Best Cabin

We have been coming to Gatlinburg for 8 years every year for a dance convention and every year we have tried to find the perfect cabin for us. This year we landed at The Big Willow Retreat and it was amazingly perfect! There was so much room- we lost people sometimes! haha The house is beautiful! The pictures do not do it justice! The kitchen was stocked so well there was never one thing we were looking for and we even found ways to use things we found there. haha We were a group of moms and daughters and there was so much space for kids to play and moms to hang out and not feel crowded! Plenty of bathrooms for getting ready! It’s definitely a fantastic group house- everything was WELL STOCKED! Our favorite was 3 coffee makers and a cabinet with a hundred coffee mugs in it! AMAZING!! We are already looking forward to booking again next year!!!

Great cabin for the whole family

This cabin is packed with fun for the family. The kids space was amazing and we had an early Thanksgiving dinner that accommodated our cooking and eating together. Be prepared to see many bears. This made the trip even more exciting and we could walk downtown to access restaurants and stores. It's a great location.

Awesome Cabin! Bears are No Joke!

We had a group of 18 golfers that stayed at the Big Willow Retreat in September 2024. Everyone absolutely loved the cabin! Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, large kitchen, dining area for all 18 of us. We did encounter black bears every day. They just walked past us on the sidewalks like we'd been neighbors for years. It was Wild!

Great Cabin for a large group

We had a group of over 30 there, and there was plenty of space. Everything was as listed, and the cabin was clean and even more spacious than it looks. It's a short walk to downtown, and Anakeesta. Highly recommend!

Nice house with great potential

We did not initially choose this house because of the size or location, our reservation was canceled on short notice on another house due to water damage. But a great choice for someone wanting to be close enough to Gatlinburg to be able to walk. It was big and had many extra bedrooms for our 16 people. What it lacked were multiple indoor seating areas, the dining/living room was the only place we all could gather so the 2 bedrooms on that floor experienced all the noise. The rear decks were nice but the weather was hot. The kitchen was workable with the 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers and large refrigerator & freezer but was lacking some essential cooking and prep items - dry measuring cups, colander. The refrigerator also had the lower shelf missing so no food could easily be stored there, and the drawer had a tendency to come out. Minor issues but annoying. We did notice the floor needed to be mopped as the bottom of the feet were dirty after walking without shoes. The beds were comfortable and most of the rooms were quiet, the outside A/C noise was bad in a couple of rooms. There was plenty of dishes, glassware and silverware for a large group. But for cooking, the stove top seemed a bit finicky to use. The pool is close and nice. A juvenile bear came by to visit a couple of times and slept in a tree in the back. Could be great house but no way I would have 60+ people in there.
