I was mostly impressed with responsiveness and communication by the host.

"My family and I had such an amazing time in the cabin. We enjoyed the movie theater, game room, hot tub, hospitality... everything was just cozy, fun and beautiful. For our first time going to Tennessee & renting a cabin, we were not disappointed at all and the drive from Illinois was all worth it. We will be coming back in the future."

It was the perfect location; super close to pigeon forge and Gatlinburg, but enough out of the way for a peaceful stay looking at the mountains. We couldn’t recommend this place more!! Thanks Justin for an awesome stay, we didn’t want to leave!! :)"

"Cabin theme is adorable, we loved all the sharp dressed bears. Beds were incredibly comfortable. We have a family of five with our frenchies and it didn't feel like anyone was on top of each other the entire stay. We actually found ourselves wanting to spend more time at the cabin rather than town. Would book with them for future stays and recommend to any of my family and friends."

"This was the perfect place for our family get-away. The weather did not cooperate as much as we had hoped, but Justin's cabin had so many entertainment options that it really helped off-set not being able to be outside as much. We played pool and shuffle board quite a bit. The 80's style video games were a nice touch, as well as the home theater. The porches are designed so that even in the rain you can stay dry. The hot tub was great and worked perfectly - we used it several times during our stay. The views were wonderful and everything you expect from being up in the Smoky Mountains."

Beautiful view to have coffee or cocktails on the deck. Kids loved the movie room - it was ready for an evening of Switch games and a movies too.

We have small children and I was worried about the cliffs and wrap around porch, but everything is gated very well. We had one hiccup with a pack n’ play, but the host was quick to respond and handled everything wonderfully. Great experience!"

"Very nice well equipped cabin. Decorated perfectly. The fire pit grill area is the best part of the entire property. We spent the majority of our time out there with the dogs and kids on the putt putt coarse. Small fridge and freezer with no ice maker so make sure if you bring a bag with you. Furniture is all in great shape and comfortable. The kids loved the arcade on the lower level. The electronic bowling game a little trick without directions hut host was pretty responsive. Driveway definitely not for the faint of heart. It’s narrow and the switchbacks are a jeeps dream. Parking will be tight if you have full size vehicles."

"This was an AMAZING cabin! Very clean with a ton of things to do inside and outside the cabin! Justin was helpful and quick to respond to questions! Close to town and attractions! The only downside I would say is the actual “driveway” to the cabin is very steep, sharp bends and not very well maintained. Other than that it was a perfect cabin and the whole family loved it!"
