Wonderful Stay!

The cabin was super clean, modern and perfect for our family of 4! We enjoyed being close to town but still having the privacy of a cabin. Don’t hesitate to book here if you are exploring Gatlinburg with your family!

another great stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Once again Mtn Laurel Chalets did not disappoint. the whole experience was perfect. Secret Hideaway was amazing, from the easy access, although the driveway is steep, to the view and topnotch appliances. The home was clean and well maintained. We did have a problem with hot tub but with MLC's amazing customer service it was taken care of less than two hours. The man they sent was there in ten minutes, the hot tub guy showed up shortly after both men were a pleasure to talk to. Thank you, MLC for another wonderful visit to Tennessee and to all of your staff for their exceptional efforts to ensure we had a great vacation. I highly recommend Mtn Laurel Chalets and Secret Hideaway to anyone looking to stay in Gatlinburg. This is our third year in a row staying with MLC. Why go anywhere else?

Private location, but very accessible

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Secret Hideaway for four nights and it was perfect. Just a few minutes drive to downtown Gatlinburg and Smoky Mountain National Park. It was great to have a close and quiet place to come back to with a 10 month old. One tip - if you're visiting when the days are longer and with a little one, you may need to bring blackout curtains. The house has a beautiful view with lots of windows, but it makes it hard for the little ones to sleep until the sunsets!

A PERFECT HOLIDAY

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Prior to arrival, we were given notice of an impending storm, that may have affected our travel from New Orleans; which was very useful.The Secret Hideaway Chalet is exceptional. Everything you could possibly want for a self-catered holiday is provided for. The hot tub was a real bonus. Spotlessly clean too.

Fantastic little cabin close to town!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed here with another couple friend. This cabin is perfect for a group of friends, or 2 couples looking for a nice getaway. We enjoyed the hot tub, and the cabin had plenty of space for all of us. The kitchen was spacious and we enjoyed cooking breakfast together. In the afternoon, we would walk into town to enjoy what Gatlinburg has to offer. The only downside to this cabin is the steep hill it sits atop, but that is just what happens when you vacation in the mountains! Overall, extremely happy with our stay and will likely be returning soon.

Excellent Hideaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent vacation home. Close to downtown and don't need to traverse the windy mountain roads to get to it. This is our 5th time staying at Secret Hideaway and consider it our 'Home away from home'. We will definitely be back.I would like you to consider putting a roof over the hot tub so out drinks don't get watered down when it rains. Other that this, the place is perfect.Thanks for another great vacation.

Great Little Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This little cabin is adorable! Redone in true farmhouse decor and so tastefully decorated. Perfect for a couple but there is a bed and bath in the loft upstairs. The only problem is the surrounding areas. Across from the entrance to the cabin is a junky storage shed. It wouldn’t be bad if it was cleaned up. And right below the cabin there is a junky gravel lot that has never been cleaned up. Otherwise there’s a great view of Gatlinburg and the surrounding mountains.

Nice cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice, comfortable cabin with nice views. The beds were comfy. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes, pots, pans, etc. The only negatives are there were thousands of dead lady bugs on the deck. We had to sweep them off to use the space. There were dozens of dead lady bugs in the main floor's bedroom, so it had not been vacuumed prior to our stay. Fortunately there was a vacuum so we took care of it and afterwards during our stay only a few more ladybugs came inside. The driveway is very steep, so be careful. The location is excellent. Close to everything.

Cool, comfy cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was great. Well-appointed and extremely clean. Like very, very clean. We also loved how close it was to the main strip. There is a parking lot just down the hill, and it's easy to just park there and walk downtown Gatlinburg. Then you can very easily walk back to your car and avoid all the traffic for a 2 minute ride back to the cabin. We also loved the hot tub and game area. The only issue we had was the downstairs mattress is not very comfortable and probably needs to be replaced. The upstairs one was great, though.
