    The smart thermostat would over ride our setting and make the house hot in the mornings. However, a minor Issue.

    Very clean. Cleanest place I’ve stayed in for quite some time. well equipped kitchen and we saw bears!

    I feel the upstairs bedroom could benefit from additional lighting. It was a little dark in there for me especially at night trying to find clothes in a suitcase.

    The views of the mountains were phenomenal. Everything about this cabin was Everything that we expected and more and the hosts were amazing. We got a screw in a tire and they were able to tell us where the closest shop was to get it fixed.

    Beautiful location, beautiful cabin and very attentive hosts

    I really can't think of anything I didn't like - we had a great time. If I had to come up with something, I would say the mattress in the first-floor bedroom is pretty soft and you kind of sink into the mattress after some time. Some of the board games were also incomplete and missing pieces ( we tried CLUE and CONNECT4 and then gave up haha)

    The cabin itself is very comfortable and inviting - it is well maintained and the deck area provides scenic views and an overall tranquil vibe. We had 2 families of 8 people total (2 grandparents, 4 adults in their 30's, and 2 children 10 and under) and the cabin provided enough space for individual privacy and amenities for all to enjoy (games/streaming TV/hot tub) The cabin is located on the higher part of the mountains so you get a nice top-view from the deck. I also liked the community/neighborhood where the cabin is located - it's not a desolate area so there are other properties in the vicinity, but it's such a quiet neighborhood that one can actually enjoy some privacy. In fact, my one regret is that we didn't spend more time in our own backyard; Instead, we visited nature trails/scenic drives in the Smokey Mountains that aren't too far visually on Google Maps but still ended up being at least 45 minutes one-way and we didn't see nearly as much wildlife as we did near our own cabin (we saw a bear cub on our deck!). A morning walk in the neighborhood will most likely guarantee a nice workout (since there are some pretty steep roads) and bear sightings (we saw one bear on another property during a morning walk & the guy staying in the cabin next to us saw a family of 4 bears during his walk earlier that morning) I especially appreciated how attentive and responsive the hosts are - I had questions on how the check-in process would work and before I even had a chance to inquire, I already received a detailed correspondence from them on how to get into the property and general information on the area. The same with checkout - I wanted to make sure that everything was taken care of and what the check-out expectations were and the hosts proactively sent me a detailed message on what to do the day before checkout. So helpful!

    The cabin was clean and up to date. The kids loved the games that were available. The view was amazing! 15/10 the hosts were available and made sure we were comfortable. It wasn’t too far into town and there are several restaurants and shops closer than the strip if you want to avoid it.

    No complaints, it was lovely.

    The cabin was amazing! It was the perfect size for our friend's getaway and so comfy. You just can't beat sitting in a hot tub with that amazing mountain view. The kitchen was spacious and stocked, so we were able to just cook and have chill nights in, which is exactly what we wanted. We even saw a bear! It was close enough to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge that we could go do stuff, but far enough away that we didn't feel like we were drowning in crowds. While there are other cabins next door, they are completely hidden by trees and brush, unlike a lot of cabins closer to town that are all right next to each other. We didn't see another living soul!

    The King bed could be replaced with new firm mattress. It was a little too soft.

    The cabin was home away from home. it had full accommodations for the whole family and nice and quiet location.
