Beautiful cabin

We had a great stay. There were plenty of towels and blankets and we loved the bath amenities. The cabin was beautiful. The host was very friendly when I brought up a concern to her. I would stay here again.

Wonderful

We stayed for a long 4 day weekend trip! The cabin was clean and had the best views. We highly recommended staying at this cabin if you want to be away from all the crowds. Very peaceful area just up the road from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, or The Smoky Mountain Park.

Great stay everything was as described… our group consisted 5 teenage boys and they stayed active with the pool table, air hockey and swimming pool that was open… )resort has access to 3 pools but 2 were pad locked) but the one open was great and even it had to ourself for the most part! Would recommend Diamond in the Bluff! Great family atmosphere; plus located at end of the clear which offered more space for boys and our dog

Started out well

I hate to have to write a negative review but it is necessary. Arrived and place was just as it looked on VRBO and there were some balloons for my mother’s birthday. The upstairs ( which is where the living room is located) was extremely hot. The air eas on but still so hot. We noticed that the AC had frozen over both inside and outside so no one could be upstairs. We turned unit off upstairs and were awakened by water dripping on bed from ceiling as all the water was melting. It covered the main floor bed. Our guests ended ip leaving early due to not getting sleep for multiple nights due to heat. The basement “bunk beds” were awful. So uncomfortable that your back was stiff next morning and so no one wanted to sleep on them so only other place was basement sofa. I spent a lot of money for this 5 day vacation and paid fee for 3 dogs so it did add up and I just expected things would have been far better than they were. The front door locked first day there and never again so we couldn’t all go and fo thongs together as home with our stuff wouldn’t lock. I would have thought some gesture maybe some money back but that didn’t happen. It is a nice cabin and if it were running well most would enjoy their stay. I have rented cabins in Gatlinburg before through Vrbo and each stay was great! This was very disappointing and will not rent this property again.

Excellent location and beautiful cabin

We booked this cabin by mistake , usually do pet friendly and almost cancelled. So glad we kenneled the dogs and came anyway. The location of this cabin was perfectly located in-between downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It was meticulously clean and had everything we needed. We had 2 college kids with us and 2 teenagers. We all had plenty of space to not drive each other crazy. The beds were all incredibly comfortable and the cabin was perfect for us. Would definitely stay here again.

Grandsons first trip to Gatlinburg!

Mira was absolutely amazing from the time we rented until check out. The cabin was a great location to all activities we had planned for our short stay. It was super nice not to have to pack the babies pack n play nor a high chair because that was all provided. We also brought our dog along who also had a great time. Thanks again for hosting us 😊

Beautiful views!

We had a great time, and Mira was an excellent host! We had a few questions leading up to our stay and she always responded within a few minutes. For the most part, everything is exactly as described in the listing and photos. I would describe this as a "luxury cabin" but it is a cabin - not a mega mansion. It is rather cozy, While there are multiple socializing areas (main floor, upstairs loft area, and in the basement), It would be very cramped if you wanted to have more than ~6 people in any one area. The views of the smoky mountains during sunrise and sunset were absolutely amazing. The leaves were just starting to turn during our stay in mid October. One final comment: If you're traveling with more than two couples who want privacy, you might want to know this isn't really a 3 bedroom. There are 2 actual bedrooms (one on the main floor, and one upstairs). The basement / game room has bunk beds and a futon, and there is another futon in the living room area outside the upstairs bedroom, but neither offer any privacy.

Fantastic house!

We loved staying at Diamond in the Bluff! The kids really enjoyed the air hockey table, Mira was really great to work with, and the house was beautiful; clean and well-maintained. My only complaint is there is a house right in front of it, paritially obstructing the view (no fault of the owner!), and I wish the rail on the bunk bed was higher.

Truly a Diamond

We had a range of ages from 9 - 88 and everyone enjoyed their time at Mira's home. It was a little off the beaten path but that didn't bother us. It's a great location for getting away from it all. The home had everything we needed while we were there. We even had a bear visit us during our stay! Definitely recommend you check this property out for your next mountain vacation.
