Great Location and Beautiful Cabin

Really nice cabin close to Gatlinburg. Had great view of the mountains and can see downtown Gatlinburg. Plenty of room for parking and the cabin had everything we needed for our stay. Easy check in and the hosts/owners communicated very well throughout the entire process. We have already recommend this cabin to friends. Great place to stay in Gatlinburg!

It’s Al about the View

Bella Vista was everything we hoped it would be! It was perfect for our family of 9 and allowed everyone the privacy they wanted but also provided a nice sized family room with an amazing view for those all together times! The kitchen was well equipped we everything we might need for cooking. The Christmas tree was up and it made for such a cozy home feeling. We can’t wait to return for another visit!

Great Place Close to Everything

Really nice place. Clean, plenty of space, and it’s a really good location…5 minutes to downtown Gatlinberg, 5 minutes from a grocery store, 15 minutes from Dollywood. Everybody had their own en-suite bathroom and king bed. The downstairs game room was a lot of fun with epic games of shuffleboard and soaking in the hot tub. The view is great, and the property is the best in the community with plenty of parking and nice flat property. Highly recommend, Chris is a great host, easy to get in touch with, and easily added an early check-in and an extra night to our stay.

Wonderful Cabin

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was spotless and very well equipped. The kids enjoyed the game room every night, and we enjoyed watching the sunset over the mountains from the porch. We even ate breakfast outside every morning . The location was great— close to the downtown area. The road leading up to the cabin is not for the faint of heart, though!!! Communication with the owner was also very easy. Overall, one of the best places we have ever rented. You can’t go wrong with this place!

This is a beautiful home that is in a great location!! You are up in the mountains, but just a few minutes away from downtown Gatlinburg and stores. The views are outstanding and we had daily bear activity.

Beautiful house just a short ride from downtown Gatlinburg. The house was clean and comfortable and the view was great. There were mountain views and also views of downtown Gatlinburg. Definitely a property I would stay at again. It was in a quiet area and even had a flat lawn in the front of the house .

We enjoyed so much Bella Vista in Gatlinburg. It was convenient to downtown and all the attractions. Our host was very attentive to questions that we had and very prompt in getting a few things done we asked for. The views are great, and the rooms are large and met the needs of our family of nine!!

Great Property!

My grandson graduated high school and decided on Gatlinburg for a family trip. We rented this home to accommodate 13 people- my husband and I, my three grown kids, their spouses, and my grandchildren (between the ages of 3 and 18). It was a great home in a great location and definitely served us well. The house was clean and spacious. Each room has a bathroom which was helpful with so many people. We had quite a few bear visitors, they even ate our corn hole bags! The location is up a steep road but the view from the top is great. The basketball net was an added bonus. Overall, our stay was great, no issues at all. Highly recommend!

The cabin was just as advertised- the view was awesome, every amenity was present, and much thought had been given to what guests would need. It was especially remarkable to find that view so close to downtown Gatlinburg, grocery stores, and restaurants.

Beautiful views, very private

What you see is what you get; very accurate listing. But I want to mention some things that you might not realize. 3.5 balcony-style areas. Each of the four bedrooms has access (either directly or it's right next to it) to their own balcony. 2 of the 'balconies' are on the ground level and one of those has the hot tub... that's why I say ' 3.5 balcony-style'. There is no large/massive balcony for 12 people to hang out on all at once. The 2 balconies on the main floor can comfortably fit 6 people. The balconies are also quite private. Other neighboring cabins clearly have no privacy at all: You could be out on your balcony and you could throw an orange to somebody in a different rental. But THESE balcony areas were not exposed to many other windows etc from neighboring properties The kitchen is stocked well with cutlery, dishes and cooking equipment. There was nothing we were looking for that we couldn't find. I think we only saw 1 cutting board and it was broken - still usable. The AC was a bit weak; it was never very uncomfortable but not quite cold. Cool arcade game. Master Bath's soaking tub was great. Entering/exiting driveway was rough do to columns close to path. My only complaint would be that the emails from the owners were overbearing. Lots of repeated info and many negative sentences blaming prior guests for some of the rules. I advise running the automated emails through ChatGPT. 4/5 for communication 4/5 for A/C 90/90 everything else 98/100 total :)
