The cabin and its location and views were spectacular. However, we were disappointed there were no bear sightings. Not anywhere for our entire trip to Gatlinburg. Lol. Virtually not a cabin in sight was accurate. At night, we could see a light here or there through the forest, and during the day, we could tell there was a cabin below beyond the trees, and we could see a small part of a cabin up above.We made good use of all 3 covered deck levels and their furniture and the grill. We watched the mist rise and fall in the moutains. We sat outside and watched and listened to the rain.The beds were comfortable, but not luxurious. The lighting was good throughout. There were no creaky floors! The stairs were carpeted and had solid railings. The kitchen was clean, but if you have a full cabin and eat family meals, you might need to bring plates and silverware. Fridge has good water filter.The hot tub was clean & like new.There was no common bathroom on the main level. The king BR on that level does have an attached BA. So, when the description says you need to use stairs, plan accordingly. There was 1 dish towel and a trial size of dish detergent and a bit more below the sink. Two spare rolls per BA of tp and one roll of paper towel were provided. Included were 4 laundry pods & 4 DW pods. Beach towels were provided for hot tub.Owners are delightful & responded quickly to msgs. There was plenty of room for all. Loved the game room. We definitely recommend this cabin!

The space of the house was amazing and seeing a bear just made our trip! The host was very quick to respond.

I would say give this one a try.This host asked for a five star review. He said, "Even if your stay wasn't perfect" leave a 5 star.No apologies just leave five stars.The host did get an exterminator quickly but...I paid for a 5 bedroom 5 bath cabin for 13 guests.Because of mice on the lowest level 4 guests were on couches or the floor upstairs to sleep.The exterminator was extremely nice. But we saw mice 4 out of the five nights. Takes a while. And there are mice holes Life happens. We got by and convinced the kiddos they could use the lower floor they just would not sleep in that bedroom. Even made a game of mice spotting.Over all the cabin was quite nice with a great location. Kitchen well appointed.Spacious living area.Lovely view especially the top master bedroomThe view from top deckview window takes your breath away.All decks lots of seating and great outdoor viewing.Large table could seat everyone for games and meals.Wifi great.Roads to cabin in great condition and easy but fun for flatlanders.Entrance to the Smokey Mountain Park off the main road to cabin a couple of miles down the main road.Try Trish's diner . The pizza place is excellent. The large grocery closer to Gatlinburg is great.The outdoor grill impressed my grillers. They said for a rental one of the best I've forced them to use.Hey we stayed for 5 nights and had a good time. Host did get an exterminator. So now he knows the problem. I'm sure he'll keep on top of it.

This cabin truly exceeded our expectations. Everything was well organized and easy to understand. The pictures don't do the cabin or view justice. And it felt a lot bigger in person. There was plenty of space for everyone. Communication between host and guest was phenomenal. Any questions or concerns we had were immediately taken care of. Thank you again for hosting us, it was a trip we will never forget! We would love to come back!
