Wonderful mountain cabin

The house was very well kept, with plenty if space for our family of 4, plus dogs. Location was great, just a few minutes drive from “downtown” Gatlinburg and our host was extremely helpful and responsive to our questions!

Super Cozy/Cute Cottage feel

This little place was so cute and cozy. It has more of a three bedroom/house feel and is very close to the Gatlinburg strip and across the street from a mountain coaster so very convenient for those looking to stay close to all of the festivities. Accuracy of the place vs what was online was very close, however for the price and what the photos showed it was a much smaller place than I anticipated. I somehow missed how it’s only 1400sqft -which would have easily told me it was a bit cramped for the 7 of us. But that’s not their fault, I will be sure to check that first next time. We had the absolute best time playing shuffleboard. The game room had a super cute connect four on the wall which kept us entertained. All three teens -17 and 19 plus some adults all thoroughly enjoyed it-we will be buying one asap! Absolutely zero complaints about cleanliness-it was extremely clean, decorated just beautifully for Christmas and had plenty of towels and amenities in the kitchen pretty much anything you need they have and all is labeled everywhere so there is no question where to find it. The hot tub was perfect along with the outdoor area. It’s a very large side area with a fire pit and plenty of chairs. Grocery store was about 10-12 minutes away and downtown Gatlinburg was right around the corner from the bottom of the mountain and took us around 5 minutes to get there. It would be perfect for a family with younger children if you’re going with the max number of guests..

Lovely stay here!!

This home is spotless, and it is very clear that the owners pride themselves with providing all the amenities we would need. We felt safe, comfortable and will surely return to this pristine location. Not one issue did we have, and would certainly recommend this home as your base when visiting Gatlinburg/Pidgeon Forge, Sevierville area.

Quick getaway

Stay was amazing, the property was very clean and even provided moon pies and granola bars to snack on. Property is so close to downtown Gaitlinburg and it made it very easy to go enjoy our days downtown without a long drive back to our stay. Communicating with property manager was super easy and quick and Jackie was very nice and understanding with any question or problem I brought up. I loved how spacious the property was along with the game room which was a big hit for my friends and I. TV’s were hard to figure out, thankfully one of my friends was tech savvy and was able to figure things out! Overall the stay was amazing and Jackie was an awesome host. Thank you Jackie again!

Fabulous location and host

We had to make arrangements on short notice due to a change in lodging. This location was much better and the host was always very quick to respond to questions she is awesome!! We loved the location flat drive and entry to house one level. House very spacious we loved the game room it was a winner. The property is very clean and stocked with everything you could think of. Do be aware the bears love the house also I walked right out to find one in the yard by the door. Loved watching for them!! I our family will return again in the future.

Nice place for Gatlinburg activities

House was clean and well kept and had everything we needed. We ended up driving and parking instead of walking into town since we had a 3 yr old. We had bears roam the neighborhood one day so be aware of that.

Will stay again

We had a great time! Red Bud Retreat is gonna be filed as….WILL STAY HERE AGAIN!! We enjoyed the Shuffle Board and the quiet outdoors while sitting by the fire. Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub. This was supposed to be a vacation for my 2 aunts-65-70 year olds and my mom. My husband and I have visited Gatlinburg before. My only complaint was that it really isn’t walking distance for older guests. Based on the description of it being walking distance to downtown, we chose this property so if the aunts and mom wanted to walk back they could. However, my complaint is muted because we didn’t need the option to walk to and from. While here, we took a drive through the mountains and visited Dollywood. JB was very helpful and responded immediately to my questions. I hope to stay here again with my “younger” family members. Thanks JB for a great little get away!

Hard to trust for sure if the home you choose is worth renting. This home was very clean. Smelled nice. Good level driveway. Safe for small children. In short this house is, “every thing you want and nothing you don’t need”. Pick this place, trust me.

Perfect location

First the host Jackie is amazing she has a heart of gold and takes pride in her place. One of the cleanest places I have ever stayed and allowed me and my girls to take a trip with our dogs. I would recommend staying here to anyone! I will stay here again. The cabin was amazing she even had snacks there for us. The location was perfect we still felt like we were high on the mountain but on a small piece from the center of gatlinburg.

Family Get Away

This cabin was so quaint and close to downtown, but felt like it was far away. It was very clean and very roomy. The game room was awesome, my grandkids and the older adults loved it. It was stocked with shampoo, conditioner, soaps and even makeup remover wipes and qtips and everything you would need in the kitchen. The hot tub was very clean and was nice for a hot soak. The owner really goes out of her way to make this a great place to stay. I would definitely stay here again.
