Beautiful Accommodations

Beautiful accommodations, off of main street so very quiet and secluded. Owner had issues with the on site Well, for the first day of check in we had no water upon arrival, but the property manager worked to resolve the issue and had us temporary water for the night and the well company returned the next day to install a more permanent fix. Game room under pool porch had a musty smell but other wise very nice location and lots of space pool was nice to come back to to relax and let the kids play.

Pictures don’t do this place justice! Loved it!

The amount of space to spread out here is amazing. We will likely be back with a larger group to enjoy it all again. Location is scenic and out of the way but so close to all the things. The dining space in the main house so we could all eat together was wonderful. Everything you need in the kitchen. Being completely honest we were here for spring break and there were some random things laying around the property and some broken door handles and flooring. Things that could be fixed with a quick walk through by the owner, and with the way this host was so responsive I’m sure will be fixed asap. It’s a one of a kind place to stay and kept us all together when we wanted to be with the option to separate when we needed to. Earned its 5 stars for sure!

Overall had a very nice time

Overall we did have a good time and nothing ended up being detrimental but we did run into several issues that could have been avoided to provide for a much better experience and a definite 5 star review. The pictures definetly made it look better than it was, particularly in the pool area. We had leaves in the bottom of the pool, leaf piles around the pool and broken chairs. Amongst other issues, several things had not been cleaned in a VERY long time and 3 of the 4 games in the game room were broken. Additionally there WAS a Wifi issue (as stated in the listing) but my dad spent 2 hours fixing it so now there is wifi in every house except the game room. Apparently we should have put it back the way it was because when I told the owner we had fixed it I did not received any thank you or acknowledgement for fixing his property. Unfortunately now a days WiFi is crucial especially when you have no cell service in the mountains so the fact that we fixed it so that all guests can utilize it, I would expect at least a big thank you or some kind of gesture of appreciation but I did not get it. Not to say anything negative about the host. He was extremely patient, kind, and helpful with all my questions. Overall I would stay there again (hopefully under better conditions) mostly because the road the house is located on comes out right at a traffic light so getting around was incredibly easy and convenient plus my dogs had a TON of room to roam

The whole family loved it

We took the whole family (20 of us) lots of room for us all and many things for us all to do. The “play room” was a hit for my 3 year old. The main house could fit pretty much all of us for dinner time. The area was great, so peaceful no traffic coming through. The pool and hot tub area was great. The only thing we can complain about is the cleanliness of the property, a lot of stuff outside could have been cleaned up better, like the landscaping. And we did go during hurricane so it flooded around the pool and into the game room. But overall we had a great stay! We want to come back again. Communication with the owners was super easy.

Smoky Mountain Family Stay

We had a great time at the cabins and we will definitely be back. It is a sprawling property with plenty of room. The owner was great to deal with. I sent several messages back and forth with random questions ahead of our trip and they always responded timely. I asked them if there was a Keurig machine and they said there is not but when we arrived there was a brand new one on the counter! Very nice. Driving up into the cabin the first time is not for the faint of heart. There a lot of hair pin curves. It was less scary after the first time. But I wouldn’t take a car that doesn’t have much pickup.

Great for family time

The property was very clean and accommodating for a large family. A short drive to all locations. We enjoyed our trip. Only complaint was no wifi, only 2 televisions worked and the games in the game room did not work. Wouldn't have been as much of a deal if we had any cell service on the mountain. The owner was informed and did respond to my messages, hopefully those issues have since been rectified.

Family Reunion/Jeep Invasion Vacation

Our whole family, totaling 14 adults and two babies ages 3 and 10 months stayed here for the 2024 Jeep Invasion. It was great to be all on the same property but with our separate spaces! We enjoyed the quiet seclusion of the property and watching the Momma and her 3 cubs. We stayed up on the pool deck and watched the cubs wrestle down the hill for quite a while . As expected, none of us had phone service at the property and We did have to drive back closer to the parkway for phone signal to reach out to the hosts regarding the Wi-Fi password, they responded quickly with the correct password. The TV’s would be only area that could have been better .. in the main cabin where Wi-Fi is available we were able to watch but in the game room and other two cabins we were not - totally not a big deal for us. The property was perfect for an extended family Jeep Invasion vacation!! Plenty of parking for 5 Jeeps (and 1 civic).

Great place for families with kids

We recently stayed with 4 families with kids ages 7-13. The property is located close to all that Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have to offer. The house was well maintained and comfortable. We had 17 people and had plenty of space. We had a great time and I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family. A few things to note, the Wildflower House did have a king bed and one twin bunk bed. The pictures, at least at the time we booked were not accurate, they showed two bunk beds. Bears are definitely active in the area. We were greeted one day when we arrived home by a mama bear and her three cubs. One night while the kids were in the pool area papa bear came right up to the pool fence. Then one morning we had a mama and two cubs near the front porch when we woke up. The bears did just move along when we attempted to scare them off, but do make sure to be vigilant. None of us had any cell signal at the house. There is wifi in the main house, but it stopped working while we were there and couldn't figure out how to get it back up and running. Justin was very responsive, but it was difficult to communicate with no phone or internet service and we were leaving so we just managed.

Mountain Oasis

We had a great time at this property. We were greeted by a mother bear and her 3 cubs. Plenty of space for everyone to gather together or spend some time alone. All the amenities you need to give you the comfort of home. The pool, game room and fire pit were a hit with the kids. Great base of operations for the countless recreational activities nearby. Clingmans Dome was a sight to behold and Gatlinburg trail was a nice dog friendly hike. Definitely recommend for large parties with kids.

Good communication with owner

The home was great for a large group and clean. The outside yard and pool area needed maintenance. One of the chairs were broke by the pool, no lay out chairs for the pool, weeds overgrown so hard to walk on the sidewalk to the house. The smaller cabin said there was a trundle bed and that is where two of the teens were supposed to stay but no trundle bed. The sewer backed up in the bunk house(didn’t realize we needed to look for a cap to stay on, easy fix) and no running water in one the master bed/bathroom. However, we contacted the owner and someone was put to fix it immediately and they also sent cleaners for the bunk house!!! They made it right very quickly. Other than the yard and pool area needing some TLC it was a great stay and the promptness of the owner was great and we would stay again!

Amazing Property

This rental has it all! There are spaces to spread out or gather all together. The pool and hot tub area was a hit with everyone. It was less than 10 minutes to the main street in Pigeon Forge but still felt secluded. The kitchen has everything you could need. My family loved staying here and we hope to return on our next visit.
