Perfect getaway

We loved this property! Definitely would like to go back. The beds were comfortable. I would not sleep on the sofa bed upstairs as it is too uncomfortable but the queen and king bed are great! I would bring extra towels as there are not enough towels for showering and bathing but there are towels for the jacuzzi. The area is really nice and secluded but close to nearby activities!

Nice cabin close to everything!

We stayed in the cabin with 4 kids. Cabin was clean, a bit older, but everything was good. It is like a duplex, connected to the other cabin. We liked the room downstairs with sleeper sofa and queen bed for kids to sleep there. Arcade games were great! The only thing that we didn't like was a mattress on the sleeper sofa. It was not very comfortable. Hot tub was good. Pool was across from the cabin, water wasn't very clean in it, but it is not owner's fault. We liked how close the cabin was to the center of the Pigeon Forge.

The location was beautiful and just right for our family to be able to get to and from the main strip easily. My husband and i had some mixed ideas of the property, because there were 3 levels and 2 different property numbers. So we were worried that it wad not all our rental. But we were able to contact the property host and she cleared it up for us. We would have liked (like we had received with previous rentals) the code access for the pool, additional rooms as part of the property, and the instructions for garbage for during the week stay.But all in all, it was a very enjoyable stay and we were very pleased and happy with the location and cleanliness of the location.

Bedding is very worn.It was ok but wouldn’t stay in this cabin again.Having the wrong door code sent to us the first time is never a good sign. It was resolved in 10 minutes but after a day of traveling not what you want to deal with. The next door cabin said they had the same problem.
