Cabin as advertised, perfect set up for vacationing with extended family.

Great set up for family. Appreciated the en-suites. Interesting floorplan with no half bath on the main floor so people either use the master suite bathroom or need to go upstairs or downstairs when just hanging at the cabin. Kids loved the game room. Very responsive owners.

Family Fun

Our group of 11 (ages 6 to 65) enjoyed all the amenities offered at mudpuppies and moonshine cabin, with the game room being a fast favorite! The cabin itself was well appointed and clean. Our host was always easy to get ahold of and responded promptly. Thank you again for a great stay!

Gatlinburg Family Vacation

The cabin was wonderful and clean, well stocked kitchen. The bathrooms were gorgeous with great water pressure. The drive up is steep and parking is on an incline. Drive in to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg were both simple. Overall, we were very happy with our stay that included adults, teens, and children.

Very nice, clean place to stay while enjoying Gatlinburg

We have stayed here twice. The location is perfect for the arts and crafts section of Gatlinburg and it is also close to the downtown area. The cabin was roomy and clean and had everything we needed. The owner is very easy to work with and made the process very easy. Would definitely stay here again!

A perfect place for a family of three generations to gather. Nice accommodations, everything we needed in the kitchen and a great game loft that was a hit with the kids. Hosts were easy to communicate with and responded promptly to our questions. Easy access to Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Would definitely book again.

We enjoyed it. We had 9 people (4 adults). The bunk bed set up was perfect for the kids, and the upstairs loft area was fun for all. The hot tub was also a hit, and the kitchen was well stocked to have dinners in.

Not too close to the busyness of Gatlinburg, but not too far away

I love that this property seems far away from everything, yet it is not too far off the beaten path. Pool just a short walk away is perfect for a quick dip. The unit and the resort are well cared for. My husband and I are three children have an awesome time!

Very nice cabin

Cabin in a nice area, close to grocery store and downtown Gatlinburg. You do have to travel up a very steep hill and back down another one and the parking is very tight when all cabins are full. But nice cabin and suited our family of eight adults and 4 children quite well. Would rent again.

Great Location

Great location, very accessible to Gatlinburg, the national park, and Pigeon Forge. Very roomy cabin, plenty of space for our family of 10. Loved the game room! Not much of a view, but we did have multiple bear sightings from the back deck of the cabin. The roads in the resort are quite steep so be prepared to park on an incline. Cabins are close together, but we never felt closed in or bothered by neighbors.
