Great little place!

Great little place for my son and I. Easy to find via navigation. It is up a steep gravel road; however, we didnt have any issues. Place was clean and had all the basics. My only complaint...no ice maker or ice cube trays!

Cabin was nice & warm. No internet connection so no TV, that was NOT the hosts fault. No grab bar in

It was nice, drive up was a bit gnarly but we made it. I would stay here again but in the summer

Bad Problem Solving

This was a perfect cabin/house right near Dollywood and pigeon Forge. My only complaint is when we showed up and the place didn’t have hot water. Problems happen everyday which is completely understandable but I don’t think the situation was handled great. We stayed for two nights and I was told someone would be out the next morning to try and fix it. I had to reach out for updates all day the next day and the problem was not looked into until afternoon/night. Something was wrong with the hot water heater and they were unable to fix it during our stay. The refund that was provided did not match the inconvenience we experienced. I was very disappointed and was miserable taking ice cold shower two nights in a row. I felt like they should have gotten someone out there sooner to try and fix it. Everyone handles problems differently but this is just how I feel.

As expected but a surprise too

This home is at the top of a mountain. The drive from the main road was not labeled, thankfully our GPS helped us to find it. And thanks to other reviews, we realized we were on the right drive. The driveway can get very steep, and it is gravel. Some spots are loose with a lot of pits. I realize now why the description said to have a 4x4 truck. Our parents have a front wheel drive car, which made it. I believe there is 3 homes on this driveway. It was a nail biter when another car was coming from the opposite direction. The driveway does get narrow. When we arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see that the photos were exactly what we saw when we walked inside. It is a beautifully, and clearly newly renovated. To our surprise the refrigerator was NOT what is in the photos. It is MUCH smaller. Be prepared for that. We intended to cook all of our meals, for 6 of us for 5 days. We had coolers and had to store some of the food in them. But the kitchen had a good selection of pots and pans and cooking tools to use. There is a closet in the hall, we stored our dry goods in that. It is small with just shelves. Jackets and shoes had to be kept in the bedrooms. We truly enjoyed our selves. We didn't see any bears. :)

Nice little cabin

We really enjoyed our stay here! The view was better than we expected and we even saw a bear from the balcony one morning. It was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Be prepared for the driveway. It’s a fairly steep gravel driveway that winds it’s way up to the cabin so if it’s pouring down rain or there’s ice and snow you may have a hard time. Worth it few the view though. Would definitely stay again.

Family time

We enjoyed our stay. Cabin was great for our last minute booking and the price was very fair. The road is a mountain road but that’s to be expected when booking a cabin in the smokies. We have a smaller SUV and didn’t have any trouble. We are a lounging, cuddling family. My only suggestion would be living room furniture that’s a bit more comfy. The communication with the host was great. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect location

We loved our stay at serene gem. The location was great, easy access to Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, Gatlinburg, and Smoky Mountain National Park. The view was beautiful and felt very private. Do suggest all wheel or 4 wheel drive; but with that no problem. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub, foosball and ping pong were a hit. The record player was a nice touch.We definitely recommend it.

nice but 4wd-only gravel road

We booked this property last minute in July 2024. The owner kindly let us check in early. The house is nice with a great view. The gravel road is narrow, curving, inclined, and ~500 yds long (per GoogleMaps). The property description had stated: “access is through maintained gravel roads.” However, part of the road was washed out on a curve adjacent to a drop-off. On our drive in, our front-wheel drive minivan got stuck in a clay rut with no gravel. Fortunately, we were able to back out and drive around it. However, this put us inches from a drop-off with our four children in the car. When we notified the owner of our concern, she replied within 30 min and refunded the remaining nights of our stay. She mentioned that her team was aware of the washout and was working to repair it, but we had not been told of the washout when we booked the day before. The road appears to need regular maintenance given grade, curvature, and frequent rainfall in the area. We later saw a small car driving down the mtn. The owner said that guest had no problem, but a narrower, lighter car even without 4wd would have an easier time on the road than a wider, heavier van carrying a family of 6 and their belongings. On our way out we unknowingly bumped the stove which led to a gas leak. We are grateful that no person or property came to harm and extended our sincere apology to the owner. We understandably lost our deposit. Otherwise, we attempted to take excellent care of the property.

Did not stay

Above rating is not accurate since I did not stay there due to I was unable to get to the property. Road was unsafe for my car. I had to find other accommodation. Host was notified and offered to escort me but did not get back with me for over 2 hours at which time I had already made other arrangements due to wanting to be able to enjoy a long awaited trip. When they did try to get in touch I was in the mountains and did not have cell service so did not get there message until after 3:30 pm. I did get back with them but like I said I had had to make other arrangements so I could be sure I had a place to stay. This caused a lot of stress and anxiety so my trip started out terrible

We wanted to stay somewhere near the excitement of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but not IN the middle of everything. This was the perfect location. The road up is a little precarious, I'm glad we got there during the day the first time we drove up. We enjoyed our time there and would definitely go back.

Dirty, not comfortable.

Stove oven and stop top were dirty, Spot on the king bed sheet, glad I brought some sheets. Fridge in the picture were a big size fridge. Fridge that's in house is small, barely hold food. Crouch small & not comfortable at all. Hot tub didn't work right, Both decks hadn't been cleaned. Didn't say it was so far in the woods. Wasn't worth the money we paid, won't do that again with this house, We had to leave early for a family emergency and couldn't even get little money back. That wasn't fair. Now I know why nobody rents this house """DIRTY""".
