Simply Perfect!

Rick's cabin is just as described! It's peaceful and nicely tucked into the woods for a relaxing get away. The screened in porch is perfect for sitting outside in the evenings. Everything you need is provided! The lush bath towels were the best! The cabin is high on the mountain and some of the hills are steep, but it is worth it! Would absolutely stay here again!

Great cabin

Beautiful cabin, well supplied. Driveway is steep, and owner informs you of this. Would not suggest large SUV or full size trucks. We manuevered, but it was tight. Still well worth it...

Great place! Would stay again!

Couldn’t really ask for a better place to stay. Wish they had more hooks to hang towels. The washer and dryer are apartment size so no quick drying of towels. It had everything we needed and most important. It was perfectly clean!!

Great get away

Great property. Only down fall was the bedroom downstairs, the bed is covering the supply so it doesn't get the heat/cool. There is also no light in downstairs shower. Other than that, it is a great place to stay!

True mountain experience

The owner was a super great guy!! Let us check in early and was there to clear leaves from driveway and chatted a bit with us. So cool to get the history of the cabin! I would love to buy it! Please call if you want to sell it ;) The cabin needs work that he stated will be done soon. Fireplace was wonderful. Roku tvs a big bonus! The drive up was an adventure in itself. If You want a mountain cabin experience then this is it. I could hear the Dollywood steam train in the distance when it was very quiet. So cool!! The cleaning people could most definitely do a better job. No heat vents in downstairs bedroom caused my mother in law to turn up heat to be warm and it was way to hot upstairs but we made it work. Extra blankets would be a bonus. The dryer took literally all day to dry towels. But all and all It was a nice experience for my husband and I. When he makes the needed repairs to cabin we will definitely be back!!

Gatlinburg Getaway

The cabin itself was OK. The cleanliness of it not so much. The coffee pot had not been cleaned, the microwave was dirty inside, and a few strands of hair was found in the refrigerator. We had no dishcloths or dish towels to do the dishes, so we had to use bath towels. Wet bath towels were left in the washer and in the dryer. Although, we do think that the heating element went out on the dryer prior to our arrival. We did not have any paper towels or toilet tissue until someone delivered it to our cabin on Friday. There was a musty smelly odor every time we entered the cabin.

Enjoyable.

We enjoyed our stay at Ole Smokey cabin. The cabin is very nice and everything that is needed. The road is steep, but it is the mountains, my husband had zero problems driving it. The hot tub was a nice relaxing extra, and my kids loved having foose ball available. FYI there is no pizza delivery there, so grab something before you head in for the evening. The location is perfectly situated in between pigeon forge and gatlinburg. Also, if you like extra blankets bring yourself one! Other than that it was a great stay and the owner communicates nicely.

Lovely cabin, scary road

First of all, this was a lovely, comfortable cabin. I only wish it were on a different road. We have stayed in 7 different cabins in the mountains over the years. This one had, by far, the steepest road. It wasn’t just the driveway, it was the road the cabin was on. We estimate it was a 15-20 degree grade. Our 9-year-old minivan, fully loaded with people and luggage, had a really rough time getting up the hill and turning onto the driveway. Once we got to the base of cabin, we couldn’t drive to the top of the driveway. We carried our luggage up the 3 stories to the cabin entrance. Here are our other thoughts: PROS Comfortable beds & couches Lots of space Room for 5 adults to lounge comfortably watching a movie Good TV w/Roku and plenty of streaming services Kitchen had lots of cooking utensils & cookware. Dishes were nice quality. Chairs for six people on the front porch plus large picnic table on side deck. Stairs to upstairs bedroom were wide enough to use with luggage comfortably. Black bear walked right by our window in the back. CONS Only one oven pad and no oven mitts that we could find — made it hard to get food out of the oven Dryer took a LONG time to dry a full load of clothes. Much better after we split apart the load. Downstairs shower was very small and quite dark. (Upstairs was roomy.) Only had 1/4 of a roll of paper towels when we arrived. Glad we brought our own. If it weren’t for the road/driveway, we would probably rent it again.

Great a place to stay!

If you want to be away from the crowds this is the place to stay. We enjoyed the quietness after spending the day in Gatlinburg. The hot tube was definitely a plus after hiking all day. The cabin was a short drive to the National Park. The drive up to the cabin is steep but that is expected. We had no issues. We would stay here again.

Family Vacation

I was nervous at first because of some of the reviews about the steep roads and driveway, but you have to remember this is a cabin in the mountains. Are the roads steep, it depends on the person. Is it worth the trip up the mountain YES. When we pulled in the driveway the house is very beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice this is a house that you have to stay in to appreciate it. It is right in the middle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We enjoyed our stay here.

Cute, clean and comfortable!

My family of 3 really enjoyed the cabin, beds were comfortable, the kitchen was the perfect size. The view was so nice in the evening from the porch. The hot tub was nice to relax after the days activities. The pictures don't do it justice, really cute cabin! I read the reviews about the driveway, it's steep but you don't have to drive to the very top. Almost all the driveways up there are narrow and steep it's the mountains!!

Sky lodge cabin

The property was clean and very nice it was way up in the mountains and not very easy on a vehicle that is not four wheel drive. The jets in the jacuzzi tub were not working but the hot tub outside was okay. The property has beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

Weekend Getaway

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. The location is great, nice and private. The cabin is close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge which is great! Checking is was super easy. When we got there the cabin had been freshly cleaned and looked good. The bedrooms were nicely decorated and very comfortable beds. The main bathroom jacuzzi tub was out of order but we didn't plan on using it and the hot tub worked great! The kitchen had all the items needed to feel at home. We had a great stay and will come back.

Steep stay in the Mountains

We had a nice great time! The cabin was perfect for our needs. Most places you rent do not have the 2 king seperate bedrooms and it was what we were looking for. It also had a working hot tub to relax at the end of the day. Loved the fact it had laundry and a functional kitchen. The place was very clean and to me that's just as important as the other amenities. We would recommend and stay again.
