Perfect getaway
This chalet is perfect for a family getaway. My husband and I brought our two boys for the weekend for their first trip to the mountains. The chalet is very clean and comfortable. Located just a few minutes from the strip and entrance to the national park. We did see a few bears so make sure you leave no food in your car and lock your car. We love this chalet and will definitely be staying again.

Amazing Chalet to Stay In!
My husband and I stayed in this chalet to celebrate our 1st anniversary and it was amazing!!! The owners checked in on us multiple times and made sure everything was perfect! Very clean and well kept. Great location too, just about a 5 minute drive to one end of the main strip in Gatlinburg. We would park and then walk the whole strip. I 100% recommend this property if you are heading to Gatlinburg!

Great Family Vacation
This was our 6th time staying at this property! We love it here! We come every 5 years to vacation in Gatlinburg. This property is close to everything we love to do. We go hiking, horseback riding and shopping. We also visit the aquarium downtown and drive a short ways to Dollywood each time.

Wonderful Little Mountain Home
I loved this property. Nestled in the Mountains above Gatlinburg, it was the perfect hideaway. The house was very clean and well taken care of. It was nice but still very homey and comfortable. I would stay here again.

Cozy cabin
Everything you need for a week away in the mountains. Lots of space, front deck with a hot tub and a sitting area. The check-in process was simple and easy. Only a few minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and a short drive to Pigeon Forge. The location is perfect and very peaceful. I would definitely stay here again.

Best Gatlinburg stay ever
We have stayed many places in Gatlinburg and this one is the best. We loved the big picture windows, the wonderful loft, the fantastic deck and the wonderful hot tub. The best part was the communication with the owners. They were responsive, concerned about our comfort and very helpful with tips and ideas in the city. We loved staying right up the hill from stop #10. Far enough away that it was quiet and private; close enough that getting to town was quick and easy. Highly recommend this great place and we will be back!

Minor items
Everything was great. There were only a few minor items that needed to be tended to. The main one was the coffee maker. Whoever used it last , left too many coffee grounds in it and it really made a nasty cup of coffee with a lot of grounds in it. We finally got it to where it was doing okay. Other minor things were not much to mention. Just tiny things that didn't amount to much. The other main thing was there wasn't any wood to burn and according to the sheet it was supposed to be furnished.

Relaxing stay
We enjoyed the hot tub and air hockey table so much. After our days at Dollywood we retreated here for relaxation and it was perfect. Well appointed kitchen, beautiful surroundings, hot tub and family time with air hockey. While there are neighbors- you are on a mountain but not secluded entirely- we soaked in the hot tub and watched an owl in the tree and had wonderful wooded views.

Lovers loft chalet
We loved the chalet. Perfect location, perfect amount of space for the 4 of us. The hot tub temperature was perfect. The bear activity was awesome, we saw one every day and they were so cute not scary like I thought they might be. The front deck is closed in and high enough so you feel perfectly safe to watch the bear go by. If your lucky like we were, one strolled right through the yard checking things out. I highly recommend this property. The loft was cool!

1st VRBO experience
This trip was supposed to be a group of 4 but it ended up being just my mom and myself, which was perfect! The only thing that I wasn't aware of was how steep the driveway was. This made it difficult on my 80 year old mom but she survived lol. Also the location on the chalet and pool should be in the description but other then that this place was awesome. The host responded immediately and were very nice

Beautiful cabin
I was really looking forward to sitting on the deck early morning and evening looking out at the view sadly I didn’t get that. If you are looking for that this is not your cabin but if you are looking for a beautiful well kept cabin then this is for you! When you read other post and it says the driveway is steep let me tell you IT IS STEEP!! I was worried my mustang wouldn’t make it up but it did. Scrapped coming out so take it super slow. Hot tub was perfect end of a long day walking, was hot and clean! All and all it was worth every penny and I would definitely recommend this cabin for your get away!!!!

Time in Gatlinburg
The home fit the four of us fine. Some cobwebs and dust, but main living space was clean. The furnace wasn't working and fire logs were not provided after Feb, but the owner offered some reimbursement for the cold we unfortunately had to deal with. Good communication with Cathy.
