Great Two Night Getaway!
This cabin was perfect for my family to go hangout in the mountains for a couple of nights. It was a short drive away from the Gatlinburg strip, had tons of fun activities inside the cabin, and was extremely clean. We brought our French bulldog and he had a great time. Host was very timely with responses. We have no complaints. Even got to see a bear on our way leaving! We loved our stay here, the views are beautiful and we had multiple bears walk right up to us at the cabin. The host was very fast to respond with any questions I had and the game room was a massive hit! We loved our stay. The house was great. The views were amazing and all the kitchen cabinets and light switches were labeled, which made it very easy. We would definitely stay here again.
