Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was beautiful and well stocked. The views were very nice as well.

The Perfect Place

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 Chalet is an amazing place. It was very clean, the linens were posh hotel quality, the amenities of a complete working kitchen, washer/dryer and hot tub added to the perfect chalet. We had bear in our yard every morning playing-what an experience to see nature up close.

Christmas in the Smokies

We had a great time staying on property. Chalet was never close by everything in downtown Gatlinburg. The roads to the chalet are very narrow since the chalet is located closer to the top of the mountain. For larger vehicles I would recommend staying further down the mountain. We had a difficult time in a Jeep compass turning into the driveway. The only issues that arised and was very disappointed with was the master bathroom. The water pressure was horrible and the jacuzzi bathtub didn't work. Unfortunately there wasn't enough hot water to even fill up the bathtub halfway. The second bathroom had much better water pressure and no issues with the hot water. Besides the master bathroom the property over all was fantastic. Great views and a nice indoor fireplace. The neighborhood was never quiet and so peaceful at night watching the stars.
Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022

Bear watching fun!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A lovely spot, enjoyed the deck very much. The home is dated and musty but for a short stay it was bearable. The cost is ridiculously hight and the rental company but at all responsive to issues we had with plumbing. Other family members rented the home next door through a much better company who were very responsive to issues and even brought a good/wine gift.

Nice clean chalet. Definitely needs some upgrades

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Flooring needs to be replaced in master suite bathroom as it’s buckling up. Mattress in master was pretty worn out. The road up to the chalet was horrible at the very end. Perhaps a car could make the driveway turn but not a truck. Overall chalet was very nicely decorated and extremely clean. Just needs a few updates.

Super comfortable stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We came for a short weekend getaway. This cabin looked very beautiful in pictures and exactly the same in person. As soon as we arrived a bear greeted us which was pretty awesome. Getting to the cabin was very confusing as many streets do not have street signs. I enjoyed that it was located in a dead end, so there was more privacy. I do wish they would replace the once existing gate to the deck. Mountain Laurel Chalets never disappoint.

Bella Vista review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was a little disappointed to see how small the living space was, as the pictures online make it look very large. The sofa and loveseat are pretty broken in and worn down. The DVD player door was broken with no batteries for the remote. The master bath is very old and really needs updated. We all ended up using the other bathroom. Both shower areas are very tight making it difficult to move around. There were several soft spots in the wood flooring that we were afraid to step on. The welcome packet dates back to 2012 and is in pretty bad shape. It would have been nice if it was updated with current information. The outside could use a little updates and cleaning. It has a very nice kitchen and dining area with a lot of utensils. The villa is secluded with a nice front deck. It was very quiet which made it a good relaxing experience. It was an easy check in and check out experience with very nice office staff.

Wonderful cabin!

Perfect for my family. The cabin felt like home from the beginning. It had a private feel without being too secluded which made us feel safe. Great location too, close to town and entrance to GSM park. We also very easily made our way north to pigeon Forge without having to drive down the main drag through town. Wonderful view from front deck and hot tub. We loved the visits from the bears too.

5 nights well spent

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 5 nights here just weren't enough. Bella Vista has a nice cozy feel. You also feel a sense of privacy and seclusion while staying here. The only negative would be that the driveway is a bit tricky to turn into and out of. Overall, this is another great place to get away from it all.

This Could Be A Perfect Cabin With Some Much Needed TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: So much to say about "Bella Vista". Wanted so badly to love this cabin. The pictures of this rental were absolutely stunning, and the view looked amazing. Didn't see too many poor reviews, until after we had passed the refund period. Dirty, SO dirty. So many spiderwebs in corners, above the fireplace, hanging from the ceiling. Killed a few spiders, one of which ran across the dining table. Also killed a cockroach running through the dining room. The problem is, the weather stripping on the entry doors (deck side) has a huge gap in it, so anything can crawl right in. Dust on top of the doorways, trim, in the bathroom fan. In the kitchen, a small wooden cookbook holder appeared to have been eaten through by termites or some other type of wood burrowing insect and piles of saw dust were on the kitchen shelf....clearly it hadn't been cleaned before our visit. The tub in the old bathroom is cracked. The new bathroom needs major cleaning. Mildew around the shower on the tile grout, the trim is filthy and never got painted after they put it up. In the master bedroom, they put up new curtains & curtain rods, but the old bracket is STILL on the wall above the one window. The ceiling light in the new bathroom is burnt out, also the microwave light (surface light) is burnt out. As others mentioned, the floor is unstable between the fireplace and the kitchen island...the whole thing moves! So many things going on in this rental. It desperately needs a deep, DEEP clean, and major maintenance. Also the new young trees that are growing on the property need trimming. The view of downtown Gatlinburg is now completely blocked. The good news is, we did have a couple bears on the property, that was a nice surprise. And the size of the kitchen is great!! Overall, really disappointed in our stay, for the fact that I spent hard earned money on this cabin, and it wasn't cheap. I really hope this property can receive some TLC before the next guest. See photos on Yelp!

Lots of bear activity!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This chalet could use a little TLC. Wooden floor is buckling in places causing my kids to trip multiple times. Also, a good cleaning. Baseboards haven’t been cleaned in some time and floors were dusty and dirty. Master bathroom had molding separating from sink, jacuzzi tub is very old and buckling in the middle. Now for the bears - lots of them! We had a mom and three Cubs surround d our car when we were trying to exit the driveway. I LOVE wildlife, but the frequent visits by them was a little much. We came home one night to a chunk taken out of the hot tub cover by a bear!
