Stayed here for 4 nights with a group of 22.
Pros, the views from the property were beautiful. The house has plenty of space for big groups. The kitchen is fully stock so don’t worry too much about bringing kitchen items. Access to hiking trails right by the property, Instacart delivery is available and a dollar general about 8 minutes away.
Cons, makes sure to arrive during daytime very curvy road for about 4 mins before getting to property. As the temperature drops at night the property gets pretty chilly, bring extra blankets, thermostat never went higher than 68 degrees. Downstairs needs some updating, the theater looks much better on pictures and some mattresses down there need to be replaced. Lastly, the description states 8 rooms how ever the rooms downstairs are literally all one huge room divided with sliding doors, not a big deal but not as much privacy as the rooms upstairs.
Overall, the memories made on this trip were beautiful.

We enjoyed a 4 night stay with 22 family member (9 were children). Overall it was a great time. There were a few things as far as layout that were not as accommodating as we anticipated. Two of the bedrooms are attached to the bunk room and the mattresses in those were in really rough shape. In the end one couple had to sleep on a bunk and us out multiple kids in one bunk bed mattress. The other mattresses were also in need of replacement. The kitchen did have everything we needed, just was smaller than anticipated for our size group. The hot in had a bad sensor and would not get over 99 degrees. Overall a nice stay though!

Had a few maintenance issues light bulbs that needed change because they would flash and dishwasher didn’t work. So we washed dishes by hand. But nothing that wouldn’t keep us from renting property again.

This house is very beautiful and clean the view is awesome. A black bear was seen almost everyday. Kitchen was stocked with everything that you would need. I would rent this home again.

This house was amazing! We had plenty of room for our family of 22 to celebrate Thanksgiving. The location is perfect, as we hiked several trails that connected to the property. The kids played a lot in the basement area, which made visiting among the adults easier. The kitchen had many appliances and coffee makers…and this family loves their coffee!
The only advice I would give to future renters: bears do visit this house. The house is right next to the Smoky Mts NP, the bears’ home. So do not forget to lock all doors (house & cars).
Some of us forgot to lock car doors.
The kids loved the ‘close encounter’ with a bear.

Overall a wonderful place to spend with family!

This house was great. It has amazing views from all angles. Having a nice coffee on the top deck overlooking the smoky mountains was something I won't forget.

The best thing about this cabin is the view. The backside faces the park and it's just mountains and trees, no cabins or roads in the view. It is breath-taking and in my opinion, what you are paying for. With a great view, comes an awful drive. There is about a mile from the main road to the cabin and it was traumatizing to us the first time up. If you can, go during the daylight for the first time. There are several sharp curves that have mirrors on the side to see if traffic is coming and there are 3-4 very steep hills, you have to floor it. We arrived at night, big mistake, we missed a couple of turns and had to try to turn around, it was awful. Once we were able to drive during the daylight, it made it a much better experience. There is no house number by the driveway, just a sign that says Taj Ma Y'all but you can't see that in the dark. The cabin itself is nice. We went with over 20 people and had plenty of room to sleep and spread out. The kids enjoyed all of the games in the basement and the hot tub. The firepit area was very cool too. I would suggest bringing extra towels and wash clothes if you don't want to do laundry. I would also suggest bringing extra blankets, our bed had a thin sheet and it was pretty cool at night.

My wife and I, along with a few of our friends stayed here for 4 days. First impression was WOW. Before going in, the view will amaze you. Inside is as beautiful, it has the honey feeling. The master bed were huge, the bed are cloud like feeling. I lay down and fall asleep sleep right away :)
We truly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. I couldn't have picked a better place than this for all of us! We thank you again for this! Everything is perfect.
Ps: we didn't get to check it out, but the trail behind looks promising:)
Thank you Ryan!

Cleanliness goes a long way with me as I am a germaphobe & I felt the entire home was very well kept. The bathrooms were clean, supplied with new products and marked with sanitation strips. Ryan was our point of contact and he replied promptly with any questions I had. I could not rave about our stay enough!! This cabin is equipped with just about everything from a fully functional kitchen to a pack and play for the littles. Would highly recommend and stay there again.
My 4 star for online accuracy comes from the basement bedrooms. There are two smaller rooms with queen size beds that can only be accessed through the bunk room. This made for some last minute scrambling as we went with multiple families and wanted everyone to be comfortable. Other than that the rooms were adorable but the layout was a smidge different than what we anticipated.

The space in the house was great and was enjoyed by all ages. Nice to have activities for the little ones and room to spread out. We had a wonderful time staying at the house.

Great place to stay with a large group. Have a well planned grocery list as the store is not very close by.
No complaints with the accommodations. We did get a visit from a bear which was exciting. Some issues with bees out on the decks.
Overall a great place to stay

We enjoyed our stay at the house. The house is well stocked with the basic kitchen necessities, which included an outdoor gas grill. The house is nestled in the hills of the smokie mountains and the drive up to the house offers the most beautiful panoramic views of the mountains.
Overall, the house offers plenty of room for a large crowd. We were a family of 22 and had plenty of space. The kids enjoyed the lower lever game/media room and the hot tub to its fullest. The outside fire pit was a big hit with everyone, we made smores every night. It's about 20-minute drive to Parkway.
There were a few downsides which caused some challenges in sleeping arrangements. A couple of the bedrooms were not set up as listed and with us being a large group it caused some sleeping challenges. In addition, the lower-level bedroom side, although comfortable would benefit from a dehumidifier and the pool is just over a mile away and closes at 5:00pm.
The host was very prompt in addressing some concerns we had during out stay. Overall, we had a fantastic family reunion, and I would recommend staying at the Taj Ma Y All.
5.0
This property is absolutely beautiful. I don't think the photos do it justice. Everyone in our group of 24 adults agreed that it was an amazing place to stay. The views from both sides of the wrap around porch were equally stunning with plenty of outdoor furniture to linger and enjoy nature. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals for a group. Beds were comfortable and the entire cabin was clean. The host was very responsive and great to work with. Would come back next week if we could.

Although the location is perfect for our group, and the house is beautifully built, it needs some TLC. First, the cleaning crew of 3 showed up to begin cleaning this massive house around 3:30 with check in at 4pm. We did not get access to the house until 7pm. No refund was offered. Needless, house was not properly cleaned, with beds not properly made (missing sheets) and found dirty clothes under one of the beds. They also only left 10 towels for a party of 22. Had maintenance there twice for issues that were critical to our stay, but once i got the correct contact (contact info on the fridge and in binders is not correct), were great and responsive. There is a long list of general maintenance issues that need to be repaired (broken drawers in kitchen, door handle to theater room broken, some of the older furniture in need of repair, etc). Also, the house is in need of a thourough deep clean along with an exterminator visit. Almost every one of us woke up with spider bites from the beds, hornet nests in the light fixtures and in the railings of the deck. The kids did have a great time with all of the activities in the house as well as the attractions that Gatlinburg has to offer. The house just needs some TLC and deep cleaning. Also, there are several bears that make their rounds around the house, so do not leave any coolers out for even a few minutes or leave your car doors or windows open!

This property is beautiful and worked well for our 4 families with everyone getting a room with multiple beds and their own bathroom and our teens took over the downstairs space. The road there is a bit intense with its elevation and switchbacks I recommend getting there in the daylight the first time. There are a few things that need repairs and it could use a deep cleaning there is a lot of dust and a bit of a musty smell in the downstairs. We wanted something off the beaten path so we didn’t mind having to drive about 20 minutes to any activities. The view and solitude is worth the driving in our opinion.

Our family all stayed at this property for Spring Break. It was very easy to find and as you pull up, the views of Wears Valley are breathtaking. We have always loved staying in the Wears Valley area and this place offers you a great location and wonderful view. This particular place offered us some of the proximity we wanted. We like to in Wears Valley- check. We want to be close to Metcalf Bottoms to hike and picnic- check. We do not like staying in the communities with the neighbors on top of us- check. Its about a 25 minute drive or so to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge.
Our kids really enjoyed playing the different games that are at the place. Great porch to sit, relax, and read. We all enjoyed the outdoor fire pit at night and really enjoyed the fireplace in the living room while drinking coffee during the cool mornings.
If you prefer to do a lot of cooking while you are in the mountains, I felt like the kitchen was stocked pretty good to be able to do that. We cooked dinner a couple of nights and we really had no issues.
With every place we have ever stayed in the smokies, you can always find a few things wrong or to complain about. If you are looking for the perfect place without any issues, you will probably not find that anywhere. However, we all have expectations for some basic amenities to work and if they don't, everyone expects quick response time to try to resolve the issues if possible. We did have 1 major issue when we first got there. The shower on the main floor had a fixture issue which caused it to not work properly. (Basically no hot water) Also, that bathroom had double sinks and that had calcium build up in the faucets which made the water shoot out at high speed. The owner had the maintenance company come out by that afternoon and they were able to get both of those problems resolved. The owner responded quickly and let me know he would have maintenance come out to fix it, and he also sent a couple gifts through the maintenance company for us that was very much appreciated.
The bathrooms needed to be cleaned better by the cleaning crew. There was some build up in a couple areas that were obviously older than just a week, so that cleaning crew really needed to do a better job and pay better attention to the bathroom areas. The owner is going to contact the crew and make sure they do a better job.
I would gladly stay here again. Its a great place and an awesome view.

Overall our stay was very enjoyable at this cabin. The mountain road is very steep with only one way in or out. The listing was very accurate other than most of the exterior lights not working. The hot tub lid was extremely heavy due to water being in the lid making it impossible to get on and off. Overall the house was good. The view / and peacefulness is what you are paying for, this house has the most amazing sunsets over the national park.

Our family greatly enjoyed the beautiful views from every direction, the wraparound decks provided an amazing space for family dinners and morning coffee . The house is well built and has lots of character. There were many things for the kids to do and lots of living space for us to spread out in. The pictures were a bit deceiving and I can’t imagine having more than 20 in the space since the bunk room and two small queens are really one space. Important information for you to know is that you are closer to Pigeon Forge and Townsend for groceries etc. The theater room is in the converted garage and doesn’t have a heat source . The kitchen is well stocked but you are responsible for bringing all consumable products such as garbage bags, soaps, toilet paper etc. The whole house could us a deep clean including the HVAC system.

We rented this house to celebrate early Thanksgiving with family (at one point there were about 28 of us) all around the states. We had ages from 3 months old to 70 years old. The owners have thought just about everything. There We’re high chairs, pack and plays, baby gates, games for everyone. Kitchen was fully stocked. There’s enough room for gatherings or if you need to have quiet time by yourself. There were a few negatives but not enough to not rent this home again. The house could use a good deep clean (log banisters above the stove are covered in thick dust). Unfortunately the big burner on the stove did not work at the time we were there but they were working on getting it fixed. The hot tub did work but needed a cleaning. The arcade game toggle doesn’t work that well so that was a little disappointing. I recommend that you do not leave any food or drinks on the porch, we had a couple visits in the evening and either large raccoons or black bears enjoyed some sprites, sweet tea and Gatorade‘s lol. We didn’t have food outside, just drinks. I would also recommend that if you don’t see well driving at night to get to the cabin before dark, there is very little lighting going up the mountain. Overall I recommending renting this beautiful cabin.

This is our fourth time to stay at this property always a great time! They have kept the property up and made improvements as time has gone on. Any issues we had, which were few, they were quick to respond and resolve. Hope we will be able to stay here in the future.

Great house for all 19 of us. Room for all to gather together but places for privacy when needed. Beware of the Bears, keep car door locked. We had mama bear sitting in the front seat of our van with in an hour of arriving. (van door was left open after unloading)

Great and gorgeous house. 4.5 stars if I could.
We did a big family trip with 2 families of 5, 2 sets of grandparents and 2 couples. The house was everything we were looking for. Large common areas, enough bathrooms/bedrooms so you had personal space, well stocked kitchen, clean, super fun basement, great location (away from the action but close enough), Incredible views, great fire pit and we even saw a bear (at a safe distance).
Management was helpful when we had questions or issues. We would definitely stay again.
For me 5 stars means perfection. Here’s the only reason for the 4 stars:
- It’s more a 6 bedroom with 4 master suites and 2 queen bedrooms. The loft has 2 trundle beds but no bathroom. This worked fine for our situation because we had 10 year olds staying up there but it’s not ideal for adults. Other odd bedroom was you need to walk through the room with the 2 queen bunk beds to get to 2 small queen bedrooms and the whole area shares 1 bathroom. We didn’t realize this when booking and originally thought all the kids would stay there but because of our mix of adults we didn’t use these beds.
-2 queen bedrooms are small and don’t have enough furniture so they were using the bunk room to hold clothes, suitcases
-2nd floor suite bathrooms have pedestal sinks, not enough hooks and no storage/counter space. We were juggling towels and toiletries all week
-basement carpet needs to be pulled or replaced
-could use more/new board games
-hot tub is on its last leg. They came to fix it 3 times while we were there. (Really nice guys!)
Again, loved the house and would stay again. Missing it already.

A beautiful home that is tucked away in the woods. There is plenty of space for a large crowd. The kitchen was well equipped. The basement bedrooms was a little strange. To get to the smaller bedrooms and bathroom, you had to walk through bedroom with bunkbeds.

This place has it all! We had plenty of room for everyone. The layout was great, and we had room to spread out and maintain our privacy. It was clean and cozy. A few small details like a loose knobs here and there, but that was no big deal. We would definitely stay there again.

Renting a cabin in the mountains was always on my bucket list. This home reached my expectations and then some. The pictures are accurate and almost do no justice to the amazing views in the morning’s . The s’mores around the fire pit and movie night in the theater room really brought the family together. Would definitely stay again.
