We were pleased with the cabin and Jeanette the property manager was very prompt to respond to our questions.

I am a tough critic when it comes to staying in hotels or rentals. I researched VRBO for hours to find what I thought was a perfect rental. I was so impressed with all of the 5 star reviews but wanted to make my own judgement. The reviews are spot on. This is a cozy, comfy, wonderful cabin with views from the decks that will take your breath away. Just sitting on the deck and looking at the mountains was total bliss. My husband and I loved everything...the cleanliness, the location, the views, the communication.. and the list goes on. I had asked Jeannette a few questions and for some recommendations and she was kind enough to send a detailed message that was so helpful. And if you are at all interested in star gazing, this cabin, which is secluded, but not isolated, was perfect for viewing the night sky. If you are at all hesitant about booking this property... don't be. Everything about it is as advertised and more!

This was our second time staying at High Expectations. It is a beautiful cabin with everything you need plus a beautiful mountain view. Close to everything but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Jeannette is a great host. We had one small issue but Jeannette had it fixed right away. Would definitely stay at High Expectations again.

I want to start this review by saying that me and my now wife, took 3 months planning and hand-picking this most perfect place to have our small wedding. From the moment we walked in, we felt so welcomed and cozy! Description of this place was exactly what it says, ide say better! Everything was so clean and perfect! Jaccuzi was so clean as well, faced the mountains! The art in the house is beautiful, view is outstanding and all around i rate this place an perfect 10! Also, i was blown away to receive a vase of white roses from the owners, to congratulate us on out marriage! Instantly brought tears to our eyes! Nicest thing ever. Probably the best vacation and stay ive ever had, we will be back! My favorite part of this trip was waking up and sitting in the glide swing on the top porch looking into the mountains!

The House was as advertised. Great location and lots to do near by. The house had everything needed to move in for the week. I brought a few items and left them in the car. The family loved the game room area and my wife and I enjoyed our coffee with a view every morning. Would stay again in the future.

As a property manager for beach houses I have high standards and everything was perfect! Very clean, well stocked and organized. The kids corner was perfect for my 2 year daughter and the baby gate for the stairs was super helpful! The views were incredible! Exactly what we were looking for. Close to town and the park without having to be within the craziness of downtown Gatlinburg. I’m already planning my next trip back!

This was our first time in gatlinburg. The cabin is beautifully appointed with unique decor and paintings which gave the cabin a homey feel. The kids loved playing on the arcade game. The place is convenient to get to with grocery and restaurants nearby which we preferred over the crowded downtown after a tiring day of hiking. So glad we found this property, it was a memorable stay and I’m looking forward to returning!

We had a wonderful stay at this well-equipped cabin. Plenty of space for our party of 6. Kitchen had everything we needed. The views were beautiful, really enjoyed the seating outside. Great location outside of the main bustle of downtown Gatlinburg but still close enough it was easy to get to the park entrances and town. Cabin was spotless upon arrival. Would highly recommend a stay here!

We had such a wonderful time and this was one of the best rentals we have ever stayed at! The views were amazing and ever changing. We used the hot tub every day and played pool and video games with our son. We had a movie night and also enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen for meals in.
Jeannette helped me whittle down my list of proposed activities and gave us great restaurant recommendations too. We hope to return and stay again!

We appreciated so much about this property. The location is ideal—out of the bustle of Gatlinburg yet close to the amenities. The views are outstanding. The home is well appointed and comfortable with everything you might need—even a crock for bacon grease! We enjoyed the game room as a family—lots to do right at the house. Multiple times on vacation we remarked how we were really happy we found High Expectations.

The stay here was amazing. Myself, along with my family wanted a different scenery aside from the beach view that vacation. We not only enjoyed it but we also fell in love with the mountain view.

We had a great time at High Expectations! Jeannette was very helpful and kind. It was exceptednto snow and she let us know that all would be good with roads and traveling during snow.

5.0
We absolutely loved this cabin. We have been to Gatlinburg numerous times and always stay in a cabin but this one was the best by far. Jeannette thought of everything! The kitchen was a cooks dream stocked with any and everything you might need. The bed downstairs was very comfortable. We enjoyed all the games and relaxing in the hot tub. My favorite was the dart board. I love darts and its so hard to find a cabin with a dart board. The location description is correct with distance to the grocery store and downtown Gatlinburg. The drive was curvy up the hill but not the worst by far. Only about 2-3 minutes of hilly curves then it’s an easy. We truly enjoyed our anniversary at this cabin and hope to stay again!
5.0
We have enjoyed visits to our beloved Smokey Mountains for 46 years and this particular visit may have been one of our finest, in large part for the excellent accommodations at High Expectations, from the incredible views, cleanliness of the cabin , well stocked kitchen and the friendliness of our host all were most appreciated. We are looking forward to more visits at High Expectations.
