By far this is the best place we have stayed in Pigeon Forge. If you love the Old Mill District, then this is the place to stay! Wonderful location! We walked to the Pottery House and the Old Mill to eat. The creek was so nice and peaceful. We would sit by the fire and roast marshmallows with our family at night. Wonderful memories were made. The house was so clean and so wonderfully decorated. We just loved it so much!

This is not the first time we have stayed in this beautiful home and it will not be our last. We love this house. The location is ideal because you are able to walk to several places to eat and shop nearby. The coffee house is walking distance as well. The house is well stocked with basics but if you are cold natured you may want to bring a blanket from home. You cannot go wrong with this home! We look forward to our next trip and will definitely stay here again!!!!

My husband, Terry and I have enjoyed our time at the “Old Mill Cottage” two times and both times we have enjoyed the amenities greatly! The home is always presented nice, clean and in a great location. Our stays have been in January and in February. It has been warm and cozy! Thank you so much for providing a wonderful place to visit! Daisy and Terry

- Daisy

The cottage is very clean, updated, and in a nice location. The cottage does have limited pots and pans for cooking, and make sure you take blankets there are none in the unit. Your check-in checklist will advise you what to bring, we only took one blanket and wished we would have taken additional ones. Also, if you are older and not tech-savvy the app TV's with no cable will not be your friend. We would stay here again just for the cleanliness of the unit.

- Hardin Family

We appreciate your thoughtful review and thank you for your kind words about the cleanliness and location of the cottage. We take all feedback seriously and would like to clarify a few points. Upon inspection, we've confirmed that a bag of blankets is indeed available in the cottage. Additionally, the check-in checklist explicitly notes that the kitchen is minimally stocked, which includes the standard set of pots and pans. We're glad you appreciated the cleanliness of the unit and would be happy to have you stay with us again. If you encounter any issues or have concerns about the amenities, we encourage you to reach out to us directly next time so we can address them promptly and provide a more enjoyable stay. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to hosting you again in the future.

We had a fabulous time at this little cottage. It is beautiful with a great layout. We were fortunate to meet the owners one evening. They were very nice and seemed like our "kind of people". We loved the fireplace and it was easy to ignore the go carts across the river while roasting marshmallows. I would recommend leaving cleaning tools, broom/dustpan, toilet brushes and a plunger (just in case) inside the rental and also extra blankets for the bedrooms and throw blankets for the living room. We will definitely book again if available.

- Shaun

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a fabulous time at the cottage and that you enjoyed its beautiful layout and cozy fireplace. It was great to meet you as well! We appreciate your suggestions regarding cleaning tools and extra blankets. For safety reasons, we do not leave items such as cleaning tools, toilet brushes, and plungers in the property, as we prioritize ensuring that our guests are not exposed to any chemicals. Rest assured, we thoroughly clean and sanitize our properties before and after each stay to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. We’re glad you enjoyed your time roasting marshmallows and hope you’ll return soon—perhaps for another cozy getaway!

We chose this home to celebrate a portion of our fiftieth anniversary and we were over the top satisfied. The home is exactly what we saw as advertised. It was immaculate, It was clean and sanitized. It was very comfortable. One of our favorite places to eat is the OLD MILL and you literally look down the street to see it. We had a wonderful time and will certainly choose to return. Additionally I have recently had a knee replacement so having everything accessible was a huge plus.

- Deborah

We take great pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for our guests, and we’re glad that you found everything to be immaculate and accessible, especially considering your recent knee replacement. It’s fantastic to hear that the location was convenient for you, particularly with the Old Mill just down the street—what a great dining choice! We would be honored to welcome you back for another visit. Thank you once again for your kind words, and we wish you many more joyful anniversaries to come!

The Mill Stream Cottage exceeded our expectations. It is well kept and very spacious. It is also located within walking distance or a short drive from so many activities. We were right in the middle of everything yet it was still quiet. I would highly recommend this property and if we return to Pigeon Forge we would definitely stay here again.

This house is absolutely perfect! It is exceptionally clean and convenient to restaurants, activities and nature. It is nestled in a cute neighborhood where you can enjoy the creek sounds while sitting on the back porch. The furniture is comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed for our one week stay. We will definitely come back to this house next time we need a place in this area. We were sad to leave this hidden jewel!

We enjoyed our stay at Old Mill Stream Cottage while attending the Smokey Mtn Jubilee, and a week of trout fishing. It made it very easy to attend services, fish, and relax while worshiping Jesus, and thanking Him for His grace and mercy this past week. It was a great location (very close to shopping and the Leconte Center, and the river) , very clean, and wonderful owner. We met the owner on Friday and he was very nice. We cannot thank them enough for the accommodations they made for us while we were there and intend on staying again soon. Very nice staff with iTrip and had no problems whatsoever. Would highly recommend this cottage.

This cottage is beautiful and was beyond my expectations. It was warm and inviting and extremely clean. It is just a short walk to the Old Mill. It has a really nice deck that overlooks the creek and would be nice to use during warm weather. We will definitely stay here again. The only thing missing that would've been nice was a hot tub but it won't keep me from staying there again. 5 Stars!!
