This cabin was in the perfect location! My family and I had a great stay and will for sure return! Could not get the wifi to work but hey that's not what we came for so that did not bother us in the least! Foosball table was broke when we arrived but like I said it did not bother us as we had plenty of stuff to do downtown Gatlinburg which was only about 5 minutes from this location! Pigon Forge was also just a short drive away Over all we were very pleased with our stay and would recommend to anyone!

We had a lovely long week-end away with family. The cabin was as advertised and very comfortable. It was close enough to all of the amenities that we required and yet remote enough to feel "woodsy". I highly recommend! The hot tub was wonderful.

We visit gatlinburg often this is the first time stay at this cabin. The area and view is of course beautiful. The cabin on the other hand can use some updating. The cabin its self should be cleaned better cob weds are all over inside. The couch is only good to sit on for 10 mins cause it is so worn out. The view of the mold on the ceiling right above it is great to look at. The upstairs tub drips non stop. The thermostat is not working correctly it is either to hot or to cold in cabin. Half the jets in the hot tub do not work and a privacy fence should be set on on both side everyone can see right into hot tub area. Also the nails on back porches should be hammered down my wife's pants got caught on them and she fell hurting her knee. I have picture of knee and nails if need be. The cameras outside and Alexa inside is kinda creepy also never know who sits and watches and listens to them. The phones do not work inside cabin also could not call the number that was taped to phone for service. Clocks on walls don't work. No end tables in one of the rooms.

Best part of this place is that it had a bit of seclusion while also being a quick drive to downtown Gatlinburg. It was very nice inside. It was also within minutes of a pizzeria, McDonald's, convenient stores, local artisans, and a grocery and liquor stores; ideal for a family. The place had everything you need. Cons - it was at the dead end of a the mountain resort and it appears that contractors must throw out all their supplies in the woods next door. This kinda made my morning hike in the woods unpleasant. Upstairs sofa bed needs replacing. It was very uncomfortable to sleep on. Kitchen faucet fixture was leaky. One of bedroom fans did not work. Upstairs is considerably warmer than downstairs which present a bit of a problem if you have people sleeping on both levels.

Beautiful log home on a mountainside a couple of miles outside of downtown Gatlinburg. Here on Monday evening to Thursday morning, a wonderfully quiet, lovely getaway with our youngest daughter and her family. Great time of year, being very temperate and sunny weather, and surprisingly little crowding at the most popular sights such as Cades Cove, Gatlinburg itself, and Pigeon Forge. We got around easily, freely, and did everything we wanted without delays! Great local attractions, as well as great restaurants. Can't wait to come again.

Overall everything is good but the mattress on the sofa bed is worn out so we arent able to use it as planned and one person has to sleep on the couch. Also we knew the unit didnt have a washer and dryer but thought there would be either enough towels for our four night stay provided or fresh ones provided at some point, this is not the case. Otherwise the cabin is living up to expectations.

Home was well maintained, clean and stocked. Location is convenient and had a fuzzy visitor at 2am. Family enjoyed it. Only complaints I ever heard out of my family was about the layout of the downstairs bathroom and how hot the fireplace made the upstairs quarters. Definitely wouldn't let that be a deciding factor. Had a great stay, thanks again. Roll Tide

Actually, this reservation location is Gatlinburg, TN. Our Great Escape cabin is clean and comfortable. There were plenty of towels available for our needs. We did not use the hot tub, so can't review that. It's nice that there are TVs up and down. The only thing we would mention is that there is no mountain view.

The cabin is beautiful inside. Should be listed as the community pool not approved by the county codes yet. My boys and I wanted to swim but werent able to. There was another pool about a mile away with no parking available. Also the trees have grown very high with kudzo so you arent able to see any of the mountains from the balcony. The beds were very comfortable and the cabin was clean.

The cabin was absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful view, beautifully decorated and maintained. Very spacious. My husband and I went with his sister and her family. There was six of us and we had plenty of room! Didn't get a chance to use the hot tub. My only complaint is the mattress was hard. That was also my brother in law's complaint. Now my husband and his sister said it was comfortable. So I suppose it depends on whether you like a firm or soft mattress. The pool was under maintenance when we arrived and we never did get to use it, but we went to the waterpark so it wasn't a total disaster. Other than that it was awesome and I'd probably stay again with my family.

The Great Escape cabin experience for myself & my 2 children was 100% more tgan expected! We had a Final Cheer Competition 2 attended and booked only 2 days before arrival! Everything from the contact with questions on my end to the cabin, it's location, neighborhood & hot tub was 100% fantastic! The owner of the rental company actually reached out to me the night before we were to arrive when he got my message late at evening after operation hours, to make sure everything was okay and that we had all the information we needed. All of the follow-up emails with the information house code location ect, was above & beyond! The beautiful little cabin was the perfect size for myself and my two kids. Everything was clean & in great shape.. right down to the cute flowers on the folded towels in the bathrooms! We all felt very safe and secure and would highly recommend this property! The two bedrooms with the king size beds are downstairs on the bottom level beside one another with a full bath, which was perfect for us! We let my daughter have the downstairs bathroom and my son and I shared the upstairs full bath! ;-) ... we even got a few free admissions to surrounding theme parks which is amazing for a single mother of two!!! If we could stay here we would! Thank you so much for everything it was a great long weekend and you made everything easy and perfect! Will definitely call upon you the next time we come to this area!!!

Our stay was comfortable, but there was no working lights in one of the downstairs bedrooms. Arriving late at night, we had to use our flashlight from the car to find our way around the bedroom. The cabin was clean and well appointed. Be aware though, this cabin has NO VIEW. The view from the upper and lower balcony is TREES only. There is no distance or mountain view. This was very disappointing to me, especially when just two doors down, the cabins had magnificent mountain views from their balconies. Also, be aware, both bedrooms are DOWN a very long steep flight of STAIRS, and so is the hot tub. Very "dungeon" feeling. So, there really isn't any opportunity for socializing with your cabin mates when you have to go downstairs to use the hottub. My husband and I have difficulty with stairs, and they are EVERYWHERE in this cabin, even leading into the BATHROOM. If you don't have a problem, it probably won't bother you. But if you have issues with stairs, this isn't the place for you.

We are glad that the guest had a comfortable stay and found our cabin clean and well appointed.. In response to the concerns stated: This cabin is accurately described and presented in our description. We state in our description that our cabin is " Situated at the end of a Cul-de-Sac with beautiful wooded views". In regards to the living arrangements, guests will find that upon entering the home you have a main living area, and instead of going upstairs to bedrooms, you go downstairs. The stairs leading to the lower level are typical stairs and there are about 12 steps to the lower level landing. There is a step to access the lower level bathroom. We were never notified of problems with the lights in the bedroom, and subsequent guests have not relayed any concerns. This is an amazing cabin with convenient access to local activities. We appreciate all feedback and encourage guests to contact us with any questions about our properties, especially guests seeking particular accommodations. We want all of our guests to be 100% happy and comfortable while visiting.
