2025 Tenn Family Vacation

The house was impressive. Spotless. It was in the perfect location close to all the attractions. Last visit we stayed in a high mountain house, we were to scared to go up and down mountain and were not able to enjoy attractions. This home was walkable distance to the main strip. Every day we were able to go enjoy a different attraction. Enough space for a large group of people. Looking forward to next year.

Vacation for Community Residence of LCDSNB

We had a wonderful time. The home was beautiful and everything worked well, no issues except a few visits from the bears, but they continued on to where they were going. It was refreshing watching them. The neighborhood was exceptional! We will definitely come stay again in the future. KUDOS to the staff when communicating with us!

Sistare family WINTER vacation

Location was GREAT. We were able to walk to and from the downtown main area of Gatlinburg, even the 4 year old. Watched the fireworks on New Years Eve from our deck with a great view. Large Gathering Room on main level with kitchen/dining area was great for our large group. We had a few minor problems but as soon as we notified the manager the problems were immediately taken care of. We recommend this to large groups and we look forward to going again soon.

Super Comfortable and Incredible for Large Groups!

We had a group of 18 stay at the house with several small children (think nap-time is still essential) so we had more rooms than we needed, but it was perfect. There was enough space for 18 of us to comfortably hang out in the open-concept kitchen/living room without feeling stressed out. Having that many bathrooms, the little movie theater seating, and the fantastic bunkbeds made this for an absolutely terrific stay. I booked it for my mom's birthday and the hosts even sent a small card and a bear for her to congratulate her. I highly recommend this place and would love to stay again. We saw bears every day of the stay (including one who nonchalantly walked through the backyard), which was exciting and fun! The floors needed a bit better vacuuming, but that's really the only criticism I have for it. It is spacious, comfortable, overall very clean, and made you feel like home immediately (although I cannot comfortably fit 18 into my home). For anyone with a big group (and small children) this is a fantastic decision. Additionally, you can walk to downtown Gatlinburg, it's about half a mile to walk, so you dont even need to pay for parking or worry about traffic. Thank you for letting us stay here!

Great location & perfect for large groups

The Big Poplar Retreat has a lot of room for larger groups to stay and have their own space. Kitchen is fully stocked, more than enough towels and blankets, they supply dish soap, dishwasher tablets, sponges, shampoo, conditioner and soap. Only thing I will note is that it advertises they have "hair dryer" and there is only one in the unit when the unit will sleep over 60 people. We never found the one hairdryer but luckily someone else brought one. Also the kitchenette downstairs is not stocked with anything other than a tea towel, sponge and dish soap. No dishes, cups, glasses or silverware so you would need to bring down from main floor kitchen. Other than that, the place was perfect for our needs. Thanks Vacasa for another great stay! We have stayed in this area for 3 years in a row and not sure we will go anywhere else.

More than a place to sleep.

This property was the perfect location for an annual office retreat. The accommodations were more than enough for our visit to Gatlinburg. Located within a short walk to downtown with a shorter walk to a trolley stop. This was very convenient for taking in restaurants and shopping without the hassle of attempting to park on the main strip. The house is beautiful with cabin themed decor throughout.

Beautiful home, with some flaws

It’s a great home with a fantastic layout and ideal for large parties. It looks as advertised. The kids loved the bunk beds, the video games, and the movie room. We all loved the living room and backyard deck for the families to hang out. We saw a bear cub walk between cabins to the backyard on our first night! However, it is not without some small flaws, which you don’t expect at these price points. The row of cabins are packed a bit tight and we had a very loud group neighboring us drinking and yelling (not exaggerating) until 2:30am. It was impossible for the 2 or 3 rooms facing that house to get any sleep until the neighbors went to bed late. I recognize this might be our own 1-off experience, but it really did impact our stay. The room walls also don’t provide a great barrier to sound so you can hear more than you should be able to. The floors are very dirty. I noticed others complain about this in previous reviews but hoped those were 1-off scenarios. They weren’t. Our feet were black on the bottom after the first night. We wore sandals thereafter. We ran out of paper towels on day 4 of 5 (we had almost 30 people eating daily at the house). We were told they don’t provide additional supplies. I find that to be very disappointing, again given how much we are paying. Lastly, 2 coffee machines in the property, neither worked. To their credit, someone quickly came out with a paper clip to fix both of them (some small component needed to be cleaned out - guess it was a known problem). Another annoyance on our first morning there which forced a Starbucks run. Little things for the most part, but you expect flawlessness when paying 5 figures.

Great cabin for large groups!

This is a beautiful cabin with a great lay out . The bunk rooms we amazing. The kitchen was stocked well with cooking utensils and pots and pans .It wasn’t but just a short hop to town Incase you needed something. However the floors were very dirty. Walk across the floor with socks or barefoot and your feet are black. There was trash on the landing of the stairs going upstairs to bedrooms . Baseboards were very dusty. When we were ready to take things out of the oven there were no pot holders and only one kitchen towel no dish cloths.There are lots of bear on the property climbing on the decks so be careful going out side . All in all we enjoyed our stay .

Great house for a large group or family!

This place was great. Even better than expected. It was super clean and check-in was easy for everyone. Plenty of parking. The house itself is in a great spot- walkable to the center of Gatlinburg but you also have some great forest/mountain views from the front and back of the house. Great place and we hope to go back to this house or one of the others in the complex.

Great time in Gatlinburg

Property was awesome as advertised very clean. Cabin feels much larger than the impression I got from the pictures. Stairs were a bit steep and was a challenge for some of the older members of the family. Minor issues at arrival that didn't impact our trip but host offered to have someone fix. Close to everything in downtown Gatlinburg. The trash bins inside the house and in the community are much smaller than expected. Family of 19 had a great time would definitely rent again.

Nice property

Very nice property, however, the unit was dusty and poorly cleaned (found hair in most bathrooms, patio areas, stove and refrigerator were dirty). Tables, countertops were dusty. Sheets were stained. Didn’t call it in because we brought cleaning products with us anyway and there were plenty of extra sheets. Upset that we weren’t given the option to check out a couple of hours late. It was snowing and we were traveling with small children, but overall, it was nice.
