This lodge is absolutely stunning, everything you dream of when traveling to the Smokey Mountains. My oldest child is special needs and this lodge had all the commodities to support her. relaxing and fun vacation
The property is fabulous. The views breathtaking. The main living room and common areas are very accommodating and spacious. Would recommend this property for a great mountain vacation.
Hands down the best cabin we have ever stayed at in Gatlinburg! We loved our visit and hope to return! You can not get better Mountain Views than the ones this cabin provides!
Cathy is awesome! She is so easy to work with and she responds quickly. The cabin is amazing! We had 10 family members and there was more than enough room! 3 of the family members are handicapped and the elevator was so helpful to us!! We could not have gotten everyone in a cabin otherwise. The only down side was that it is so far up the mountain and it took forever to get to and from it. But we would gladly give up the location for the comfort and elevator. We hope to stay there again soon!
Our family group of 12 (grandparents to age 2) was comfortably accommodated in this beautiful, spacious cabin. The only downside is an initially very intimidating drive to access the property but we made the adjustment!
We would definitely stay here again.
Although the drive up to the property was a bit nerve-wracking, the quietness and views were amazing. The price and amenities were well worth it. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
The property is as described. The lodge was clean and spacious. The view is beautiful. The elevator was a bonus especially when bringing in luggage and groceries. I stayed with my husband and 2 teens (19 & 17). They all enjoyed the property. The kids enjoyed having their own rooms and bathrooms.
We enjoyed our stay and the view from the top of the smokies was beautiful. We were a group of 10 and had more than enough room for everyone to have privacy. The elevator was a very welcome extra as we had elderly family that was not hindered by any stairs. We would highly recommend this property for a large family group.
Loved the house. The drive up to the house caused some white knuckles but once there, it’s just perfect! The elevator was awesome as one of our party uses a mobility scooter, so he was able to get to all 3 floors. We enjoyed our time in the mountains and would definitely return to this rental!
We had a wonderful time celebrating my parents 37th Wedding Anniversary. The cabin views were spectacular. Ms. Cathy was awesome with responding in a timely manner to address any questions.
This place was just amazing! The views of the mountains were incredible and the house was the cleanest of any VRBO properties that we've stayed in. The area was very accessible to groceries and going to Dollywood. We parked at Patriot Park, caught the trolley from Patriot Park which put us at the Dollywood gates. It was perfect. I highly recommend the property.
The house was very nice and clean. Plenty of room for all of us. Great weather while we were there. Easy to go to nearby towns for activities. Kids disappointed we didn’t see a bear but saw other animals. The drive up mountain was harrowing the first time. Just needed to go slow and a front seat person to navigate was great. And some of the best times were using the resort tennis court. Definitely worth going back.
Such a beautiful cabin located high with a beautiful scenic view. The layout of this home is fun and convenient; I’d say it works better for only the immediate family, but there is plenty of beds and space for other invitees.The second floor has a nice equipped kitchen with sliding doors in living room that takes you to the big deck where we sat down, relaxed, and enjoyed the beautiful view plenty of times.There’s also a game room on the first floor that we enjoyed. The road up to the cabin is the most fun. It could be nerving for some because it is very moderate, but if you like a little adrenaline, it’s perfect. A little treat on the way up was the spotting of a momma bear and some cubs. Overall, it was a wonderful cabin, we absolutely enjoyed our stay, and had a great helpful host. Absolutely recommend this experience.
Highly recommend this mountain retreat!!! The host was super easy to contact and very attentive going above and beyond for our stay. The cabin had everything we needed to enjoy our stay with the little ones as well. I don’t always see accommodations for babies at VRBOs such as a booster seat for eating, optional outlet covers, and baby gates for the stairs.I recommend setting aside a day to stay at the cabin; the view is beautiful, the cabin is cozy, there are all types of games and movies to accommodate every age.We are extremely satisfied with our stay and wish we would have stayed a little longer to enjoy all the cabin amenities.
The house was very clean and well kept. Aside from the evacuation due to wildfires in the area (which in no way is a reflection on the rental) in the middle of our trip the stay was very nice. It does take 15 minutes just to get in and out of the community which was a little longer than we initially anticipated. There were also ladybugs EVERYWHERE. Which is understandable given the area, just a little jarring at first.
We came in 3 cars for 3 nights. The mountain views were beautiful right off the main deck and living/dining area.
The place was very clean and accommodating. We had a wonderful time.
The drive from Sevierville to the cabin was treacherous. Very narrow, winding roads with places where the driver could not see the road. The short distance took a long time to navigate safely. We only went out once a day and made sure we traveled only in the light of day.
This is a beautiful property with fantastic views. It was a well equipped kitchen with everything we needed to prepare a Thanksgiving meal. The rooms were spacious. The game room was a big hit with the grandchildren. The bedrooms accommodated our family of nine. The beds were comfortable. The hot tub was another big hit We enjoyed the fireplace on the cooler days. The location was convenient to hiking at the GSMNP and the outlet mall. The elevator was perfect for accessibility. The drive up to the cabin was a bit scary the first time we drove it. You just need to go slow and pay attention. The television was a Roku television which we were not familiar with. It would have been nice to have known this ahead of time and be given written instructions on using it. The accessible bathroom on the main level does have a shower but it is not a roll in shower. We did have the power go out for a couple hours one evening and were very pleased that there was a generator that kicked on immediately. We would recommend this property for anyone wanting a beautiful cabin for a family vacation.
This cabin lives up to everything it says it is and more. The views are breathtaking, and there is plenty of room for a large group (we had 11). It is the perfect place for a family getaway.
A couple of words of caution (Cathy is great about telling you this, so listen to her): all-wheel drive vehicles work best getting in and out. Get in before sunset - there are some bad curves and steep drops getting to the property.
Follow Cathy's directions to the cabin - do not rely on GPS.
If you plan to cook most of the time you are there (like us), be sure to get most everything you need. There is a great coffee selection and a few snacks, but you will need spices and whatever you need to cook. There is a grocery store about 20-30 minutes away.
We would totally stay at this beautiful cabin again!

We had a lovely time with our family of 13. The elevator was an important factor, with our aging parents and a child with a disability. And the views were truly gorgeous! Loved spending time on the porch.
