nice cabin

Beautiful, clean cabin, nice quiet street. Our dogs loved the fenced in back yard, we loved the screened in front porch. Check in was easy and we were messaged by the owner to check on how everything was going. We will definitely look into staying here again next time we vacation in this area

Wonderful Stay

We booked our stay for a week in July to suprise our boys with a birthday trip to the Titanic museum. The house was very clean, smelled wonderful. It had everything we needed for a week's stay. I loved the extra blankets and all the extra seating. Lots of choices to choose from for a good reading session!We loved the enclosed porch - perfect for mornings! The fenced in backyard was a huge plus! The area is quiet. We also loved the neighborhood pool access!It is a great location to travel to Pigeon Forge and the National Park. The Owners were very responsive to any inquiry I had. You can tell how much they care.

The cabin is spacious..clean..and great location-secluded from busy Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg..but not too far..Outdoor space is great- specially if you come with the dog and small children..Communication with the owner was also great..we had a beautiful time here and definitely will return.. Only small suggestion-please supply kitchen with more kitchen needs like aluminum foil, plastic wrap,more garbage bags..its more convenient and very handy for your guests.. Thank you!

Better than expected

This place was absolutely amazing! It was a lot bigger than I expected and had a little bit of everything! I packed for extra just in case but didn’t need it here! Everything was very clean and nice! We had a wonderful time and spent most of our time at the cabin since it was so great! We swam, played pool, had our doggies with us who went on walks, had s’mores, visited the neighborhood stores and went to the amazing spots the river has to offer and followed an otter upstream for a while watching it swim and fish, it was amazing!

Perfect Location

I was looking for a property with easy access to Townsend where I was taking a photography course, visiting various locations in GSMNP. The property exceeded all expectations-easy access to Townsend with roads that are easy to navigate, fenced in yard for the dog, spacious living space, the pool table turned out to be used often, and all amenities we needed readily available. The property is tastefully decorated, unlike many VRBO's where you feel the owner has decorated with old family 'stuff'. Excellent internet and flat screen TVs were also a plus. This is the first time we felt 5 stars were deserved.

Great Cabin, Great Stay!

We loved our stay! The cabin was spacious and clean, with lots of space both indoors and outdoors. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two family room/dens along with a good kitchen and dining area. Appliances were new in the kitchen, and the cabin was decorated beautifully for fall. The fire pit outside was awesome, and there was also a dining set in the back deck and rocking chairs on the front porch. Plenty of seating inside and out. The host, Mathew, was great at checking in with us after we settled in and as we were leaving. We had no issues in which we needed to contact him but I feel certain that if we had any problems, he would be prompt in responding. We hope to stay again sometime!

Great flatlands rental in the mountains

We picked this vacation rental based on reviews and the fenced area for our Italian Greyhounds. They loved being able to race at full speed and burn off some of their pent up energy. Very hard to find this type of outlet for them in a vacation rental. The house was clean and furniture reasonably comfortable. The bed was comfortable as well. We really enjoyed relaxing on the screened porch area in the early morning and late afternoon. The house was easy to get to without having to navigate the treacherous roads that many rentals have in this area. We have rented more than a dozen rentals in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area over the past 2 decades and Golden Oaks would definitely rank near the top of our list. The local pool and snack bar/deli would be a great spot for families with kids to enjoy. We had a good time, would recommend the rental to others, and will possible visut Golden Oaks again.

Perfect in All Aspects!

Everything about the description of cabin and property was exactly as described. As we pulled in we were in awe with the gorgeous property and surrounding areas. I don’t know who was more excited with the fenced area, us or our dogs! The cabin interior was beautifully decorated and cozy throughout! There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 3 children. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of extra bedding. We spent most of our time enjoying the cabin and outdoors and only adventured out a couple times. We were too busy sitting on the deck, screened in front porch, playing with the dogs, shooting some pool, playing cards, sitting in a clean and refreshing hot tub and sitting by the fire pit making s’mores and looking at the stars! We even got a pretty good late night show each night from the Synchronous Fireflies each night. Plenty of exterior seating on the deck and fire pit area. The Owners were great! Although we did not get to meet Mathew in person we were able to speak with him. Within an 1/2 hr of arriving I contacted him to see if we could stay another night. Unfortunately it was already rented. Very close to the Smokies, Coves Cave, tubing and waterfalls. It’s close to Pigeon Forge however we were more into enjoying the outdoors than the attractions! Highly recommend! We will be back! Thank you for sharing your property with us! The Van Newhouse’s and Canniff’s
