It was very clean

Quiet and secluded, cabin was clean and has a great layout. Kids loved the arcade and pool table. The driveway is a little sketch but there are posts and rope to ensure you know where the edge is.

Beautiful cabin. Loved the hot tub. We came in the snow and it was beautiful. They kept up with the roads really well with all the snow. Property manager was really nice and helpful and kept in contact with us. Easy and affordable clean up process and fee. Not complicated like some properties we have visited before.

We really enjoyed our stay. Cabin was very clean and nice. Kids had a blast playing pool and the board games. Only bad thing I have to say is the cabin was just a tad far back in the hills (wasn’t really that bad) and there’s no where to turn around. Overall we really enjoyed our weeks stay. The host was super friendly and frequently check in on us to see if we needed anything. I definitely would recommend to anyone. (Family of 5)

It has been a while since we had a family vacation, and this cabin was everything we dreamed and more! It was so clean and had a lot for our family of 5 to do. When we walked in, there were Christmas lights and a small tree, it was so warm and welcoming. The game room and “theatre seating” was a lot of fun. Stan was always so helpful and quick to respond! We will definitely be back.this was a wonderful place and I highly recommend it!

My husband and I met my daughter and her family here for Thanksgiving week. Starting well before our stay, all communication with the owner was timely, informative, and very helpful. He checked in with us a few times before and after arrival. He answered all questions and shared relevant information. The cabin was well cleaned and stocked with all items we needed. We did a lot of cooking during the week and didn't need anything additional - from pots & pans, crock pot, blender, air fryer, toaster, two coffee pots (one Keurig) - it was all there. There was plenty of space and things to do with the theater room, video game, pool table, and multiple board games. The location was great for our trips to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It was so nice to arrive and see it decorated for Christmas. When traveling with the family I will definitely look for this cabin again!

I was very happy with the communication i received. The directions were precise. On our way in we seen a bear and it was amazing. The bears and wildlife were beautiful. If you are worried about being up in the mountains this is not the place for you. This was definitely a hit with my family. I will definitely be back again. Thanks for sharing your wonderful cabin with us

I was impressed with the layout of the cabin. Stan was very informative and easy to get in touch with. He sent a text on our second day just to make sure everything was going we’ll and said if we needed anything just to let him know. Thanks for having us in your cabin. I definitely recommend!

We absolutely loved the cabin! Stan was super easy to get ahold of if we needed anything. The cabin was more than enough room for my husband and I plus our four kids. The kids loved the game room, pool table and the hot tub. The beds were super comfy. The only thing my husband didnt like was the mountain roads and thats just his own personal fear so I drove the whole week we were down there!

This place felt like we were staying at a friends house. It was so cozy with extra home touches that other cabins in our past haven’t offered. We loved the privacy and wilderness feel of the location while while also being within 20 minutes of the attractions we had planned. The cabin was cleaned excellently down to the dishes, tables, and hot tub. The movie area and huge bathtub was a special touch for me, and my teen son and husband enjoyed many games of pool. We loved the convenience of having a grill, dishes, a washer and dryer, and plenty of extra pillows and blankets. We visit the area multiple times a year and will definitely stay here again. The owners were very helpful and quick to communicate with any questions I had. We had a 5 star stay!

This cabin was as expected and exactly like the listing states. We had a blast playing pool, arcade games and theater seating. One thing I would recommend is having the cleaning crew dust the lamps and windows as they were all pretty dusty. The rest of the house was very clean and the floors were super clean which is a big plus from other short term rentals we’ve stayed in. All in all it was a lovely trip and we wish we could have stayed longer.

Everything was great and the cabin had everything we needed! No complaints at all. The 1st drive up the mountain coming from Pigeon Forge was a little nerve racking if you are not use to driving up mountains. Drive is a lot easier coming from Gatlinburg. Cabin was in a great location. We didn't want to leave.

Beautiful cabin with everything one could want to enjoy their stay in the Smoky Mountains. Would definitely stay here again without any hesitation.

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay for our family trip! The cabin was extremely clean, well decorated and stocked, and the basement was an entertainment dream for our kiddos (and adults alike!). The weather did not cooperate during our trip so we spent more time in the cabin than we had planned and we were never bored for a second. From pool to arcade and board games, to a relaxing soak in the hot tub, this amazing cabin provided it all. Just as great it’s centrally located - right between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg so you can easily enjoy the best of both towns. We will definitely book this cabin again!

My teenage son and I stayed here for the week and had a great time. Stan made the check in easy and smooth. And checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The theater room was comfortable and cozy for watching movies. The games provided lots of entertainment for us. We highly recommend Higher Expectations Cabin and would definitely stay here again.

We had the best time! Our son lived for the arcade games and hot tub!! We were centrally located to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg! The owner had recommendations for restaurants and attractions that he personally gave when calling to check to make sure we had arrived and gotten settled! I felt like we were personally welcomed- something you don’t always feel with online rentals! We hope to be back! Stan couldn’t be friendlier and the cabin itself is perfect!
