Five Star Reviews
First off, the communication with the hosts were terrific from reservation confirmation, with all kinds of helpful info on places to eat, great spots to visit, and shortcuts around the traffic. The cabin was absolutely gorgeous, and like others have said, the place is even better in person! The location in the valley was convenient to the drag in PF ad Gatlinburg, as well as Townsend, Metcalf picnic area, and less than an hour to Cade’s Cove. It was a very snow friendly drive up to the cabin, not the typical narrow, windy, and steep roads we’ve encountered at other stays in the area. It had everything in the listing, but the kitchen even had a flat top griddle, and ninja, blender, and crock pot. Very well stocked. Everything worked just fine, the whirlpool bath was very nice, and everything was spotless. Upon check out, all that was needed was take the trash out, either do your dishes or place in dishwasher and start when you leave, and lock the door. No stripping of beds, straightening up, or starting laundry. I had even called to inquire about the check out process since I figured at least starting the laundry would be necessary, but the host told me I was on vacation and that’s what he has cleaners for. Also, another thing to note was how spacious the place is. My husband and myself for a week, but his sister and family of 5 came for the first 3 days. Plenty of space to get away from everyone if needed, but plenty of room in the great room for all seven of us to watch movies. Also my 6’6 16 year old nephew likes how he didn’t have to duck anywhere in the cabin like he’s accustomed to doing. So it’s even tall people friendly! For the 50+ who may need a magnifying mirror, get a travel one that suctions to the mirror. I take it on every trip, also, we usually pick up the $5 bundle of cheap washcloths from Walmart to bring. Seems like you always need more than is there. Also, bring any spices from home to save some cash, and if you bring a cooler I’d recommend getting groceries in Knoxville or someplace outside of PF. Seems like the prices are high due to it being touristy. We both agree it’s he best cabin we’ve stayed in the area, and can’t wait to return for anot
