Great cabin to unwind and relax. Loved the indoor and outdoor hot tub.
5.0
My husband and I came for a visit during the thanksgiving holiday. It was a very cozy cabin, loved the large bathtub inside. Loved that there was a hot tub even though we didn’t use it. The cabin felt remote but yet still close to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We would definitely come back again. We also loved that we could bring our dog with us.

My family had a great time in this cozy little cabin. Close enough to town but located in the right spot to avoid all of the commotion if you want to. I would definitely stay again!

The cabin was perfect for our small family. Its perfectly nestled up in the woods away from all the hustle and bustle. Theres even a small store right down the road you can run to if you forget something instead of running clear back in town. Something about the cabin made my 1.5 year old, who never sleeps in, sleep until 9am! We definitely will book again for our next family vacation!

Truly enjoyed our stay. Just what we needed away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our dogs would of enjoyed it more if there was a yard with grass we have very picky doodle's. Description of place was just like the photos and how the owner explained it in her booking. We saw bears twice while we was there. We will definitely stay there again.

Cabin was very nice. Walked around Gatlinburg and took SkyLift then crossed the SkyBridge. Rained a lot but weather was milder than at home (100+).
We enjoyed our stay... and we saw a little Black bear on the porch one morning while there.

Our stay at Dusty’s Cabin was nice, with some glitches. Upon arrival, we checked out the hot tub and it was gross. I called the owner and she sent someone up to drain and put chemicals in, and that helped, but it still needs some attention (new filter, more thorough cleaning). The place also needs a general cleaning including dusting Knick-knacks, cleaning under the sink, things like that. One potential problem for visitors is that the bathroom is only accessible from the main bedroom...we managed, because thankfully we are sound sleepers. The owner was very gracious and was told about the cleanliness, so hopefully it’ll be better for the next group. But all in all, we had a wonderful time and it was adequate.

Great experience, very hospitable dwelling, chosen mostly because of one-level (only a few stairs upon entry), everything needed for a getaway! With an aversion to tiny narrow winding roads, the drives there and back (due to location) were disturbing to me, but I would still stay again for all other positives!!
4.0
There was plenty of room for my husband and I in this house. The best parts were the hot tub, outside deck, electric fireplace, huge kingsize bed and large walk-in shower. It was very quiet and relaxing. The house was about 30 feet up a steep driveway on a mountain road. We were told to get there before dark which was good advice. We have a diesel truck so we had no problems. It was a great experience and a nice location to the Smokey Mountains and Gatlinburg.

First off Geri is the absolute best owner and makes sure you know everything needed before, during, and after. This was a perfect scenario as this is the exact cabin my wife and I stayed in 15 years ago on our honeymoon. We hadn’t been able to find it due to ownership changing hands and I stumbled on to it a few weeks ago. It was just the way we remembered it and brought back so many memories and gave me a bunch of brownie points with the wife. From the hot tub to the jacuzzi to the huge shower it was just perfect. We will definitely be back and look forward to making more memories in this cabin that will always be special to us!

We were to stay at the Chalet Dusty’s Treehouse but there was a problem before we got there. Geri, was awesome by putting us into another cabin The Old Bear which was absolutely adorable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely come back. It was in a perfect location…not far from Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg! Thank you again Geri!

My wife and I can only say great things about Ms.McBride and our stay at Dusty’s Treehouse.
First off this was BY FAR the cleanest cabin that we have ever rented. Not having children we often travel with our two dogs. One being a golden retriever German Shepherd mix and the other being a full blooded German Shepherd. Not once did she make us feel as if they were unwelcome, but rather part of the family.
During our stay there were a few hiccups that even though were far beyond Ms.McBride’s control she
assured that we had a great trip going as far as offering to help us make other arrangements if the issues could not be taken care of. Ms.McBride also made sure that we were updated on the progress of getting the issues resolved. This at least for us, speaks volumes about the care she gives to her guest and wanting them to feel welcome and have a memorable stay.
The location is excellent and convenient to downtown Gatlinburg and has easy access to the bypass. There is no doubt that our next trip to the Gatlinburg area will include a stay in one of Ms.McBride’s properties.

The cabin was clean and decorated very cute! Plenty of kitchen/bathroom items and the towels/wash rags were plentiful (soft too)!
The hot tub was fabulous and the bathtub was great! The bathroom was clean and shower was awesome! The cabin was easy to get to and the roads were good to travel. Plenty of light outside. I loved all the windows! Plenty of lights inside too. The bed was comfortable and we slept very well. We also saw 3 bears!! Close to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg shops! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Absolutely loved our stay, decorated so beautifully and inviting.

The fun part was waking up with a bear in the driveway. The front door does not welcome you. It does not open without digging a big hole in the floor and you have to fight with it every time you go in or out. Everything was pretty clean but there was kind of a dusty, moldy smell upon entering. I love rustic living and have been in many cabins and I am aware there are repairs that always need to be made, but this propery needed some help starting with the front door.
5.0
Great location even without a lookout view, nestled in the Mt side. Easy access to all Gatlinburg activities, found great food right down from the cabin. If you want to see bears and other wildlife, this is the cabin to rent. We seen bear every day we were at cabin, 11 all together, even had a momma and two cubs visit , a coyote and turkeys. Another group we knew that were at another cabin didn't see any bears. Very very exciting vacation, would rent the cabin again. Only disappointment was the hot tub outside, it could be updated or fixed, didn't bubble very well and smelled but like I said I'd rent it again.
5.0
The property was great. Loved the location and was up front and personal with the bears. We stay for a week in August the weather was great with a couple of thunder storms. Quiet area and had no problems. The cabin is lovely and relaxing. Enjoyed our stay and looking forward to staying there again.

Perfect Family Vacation
We loved the cabin, location, and memories. Geri was easy to get a hold of and very helpful. We had a wonderful stay at her cabin and it made out Smoky Mt. dreams come true!

Not recommended
I was booked for 5 nights and only stayed 1 night. If you have allergies I do not recommend, the cabin sits in a lot of shade and has a lot of mold. The cleaning staff did not do anything more than make the beds. Lots of dog hair, dog food and dirt. The pool access passes were not provided and cabin had other broken items. When spoke with owner after talking about mold she immediately offered a refund and asked that we leave but I got the run around between her & VRBO. Pls note I stayed in Dusty’s Treehouse and the name changed right after my stay (same Cabin different name)

Great house!
Dusty's treehouse is an absolutely beautiful home! It is extremely close to downtown Gatlinburg- so convenient! Geri was absolutely fantastic with communication. Thanks for a great vacation!
3.0
this place had every thing we wanted and the location was very good. The problem was the place was dirty. Dust everywhere, no one has cleaned that place in a while. It also was not safe for kids the shower was so slippery, the step outside hot tub unstable and glass end table top that was unstable. It was the perfect size and location, had it not been full of knick knacks and dust.
4.0
Calm and cozy spot
It's in a nice neighborhood around other cabins and pretty close to downtown Gatlinburg. The decorations are really pretty and it's about as cozy as it can get when you're away from home. Had an amazing stay with my family and my dog.
2.0
The grounds were not maintained. Front porch was dirty. Dog hair everywhere. Stuffed animals covered with dust and dirt.
Hot tub scummy. Water Luke warm.
Thoughtful signs encouraging relaxation and enjoyment were over shadowed by notes posted around the cabin threatening added charges for not maintaining cleanliness standards that did NOT exist when we arrived.
Based on comments from the owner on previous reviews, you can expect the owner to dismiss this review.
Sorry to have to post this negative review but this property is not worth the price.
