We SO enjoyed this spacious cabin! The kids loved the arcade games. The theater room was a fun spot for the guys to watch their football game. We spotted two cubs in the trees and the mama bear below too. That was a first experience for most of us! We would definitely book through American Patriot Getaways again.

Our party of 10 had an amazing time! 12 nights of enjoying each others company and admiring the views! We did see a raccoon who was not startled by us at all! He tried to run in the door on the bottom deck - so watch out! The day we arrived we saw a bear within the first hour! He was trying to get in our cars! Nearly everyday we saw bears - including a momma and her 3 cubs! The momma chased the woman collecting garbage! She also walked right up to the front door and looked in! Again, please be careful! She tends to stay near the kitchen side of the cabin near the lower deck. Also, watch out for those wood spiders! They are huge!

The morning view is my favorite! Coffee, sun on the mountains. . .a great mini getaway! Wonderful family memory maker! Especially the climb up the hill in the snow covered roads.

We loved this cabin! It was well stocked. Kitchen really had everything you needed to cook with. The only thing i wished this cabin has was a Keurig. This was the first time for my grandson's staying in a cabin and they loved the games. We loved the g as fireplace and the covered porch outside with the gas logs what a bonus. Even when it rained on Saturday we could still use the outside deck and with it being a little cooler what a treat to have the outside gas logs. Nicely decorated!

Don?t Blink is by far the best cabin we have stayed at in the Smoky Mountains. The views are absolutely beautiful. We had a group of 8 and there was plenty of room. Nice and private and far enough away from Pigeon Forge to get out of the fast paced cit y to relax. We will be back!

We couldn?t imagine a better view, breathtaking! Would recommend a new knife set- we loved cooking every night, and the dullness made it a bit of a challenge - but plenty of space for everyone to prepare and hang out, and the second fridge and stove we re great! Movie nights were also a BIG hit for the kids and adults- while we didn?t have any rain, we wouldn?t have minded the excuse to stay in the cabin all day!

We thoroughly enjoyed our extended family vacation. We had two 17 year olds and an 11 year old. Everyone was completely entertained. We had a few competitions in the game room. So much fun! Love the layout! So much room and plenty of bathrooms! Very handy to have 2nd kitchen downstairs. We had issues with game system the first day but they came out later and fixed it. Would have been handy to have more instructions on how to set everything up ( gaming system). We used the BBQ grill a lot. We were VERY happ y with the driveway. We saw some driveways on the way up that were very scary but this driveway was great. We could even turn our trucks around so we could pull out instead of back out. Thank you so much for the vacation!

We had a fantastic stay at the 'Don't Blink' cabin!! The cabin was perfect for our large group, plenty of room for the 10 of us!! Amazing mountain views from inside or outside on one of the decks. We loved the privacy this cabin offers with no neighbors nearby. The theater room was perfect for Sunday NFL football games. The staff at American Patriot Getaways were always very helpful and polite. The only suggestion I have would be to add additional outside trash cans, 2 outside cans are not enough for a cabin this large. Our stay was excellent all the way around and we are looking forward to coming back to this cabin in the future.

We were scheduled to stay someplace else and when we walked in it was disgusting. The company refused to give us another cabin, resolve the issues or return a dime of our money. I called patriot and Wendy answered. She found us a cabin and allowed us to go look at it before I paid and we thought we were royalty! This place "don't blink" was awesome!! We were all blessed in different ways - reconnected with my children and grandchildren. Thank you Wendy! Thank you patriot! We will be back!

The price of the cabin was right on as well. We enjoyed it so very much !! Thank you!

The cabin Don't Blink was outstanding, the views were spectacular. The cabin was very spacious and even with the number of family memembers we had spend time there, we never felt crowded. My grandson and his friend spent most of the time in the game room p laying pool and arcade games. Working with the staff was a pleasure, they were friendly and helpful with any questions I had. We are planning another trip next year and I will use American Patriot Getaways as my first choice to book a trip. I would high ly recommend using this agency because of their friendliness and cabins available.

The hi-lite of our trip was a visit from a Black Bear. He/She raided the trash cans (mid-morning) and made a mess but we cleaned-up what we could get to. We did not place our trash outside when we left the cabin on Friday morning because it included severa l food items (I called and asked permission to leave the trash inside the cabin Thursday evening, and was given the ok).

Don't Blink was an exceptional cabin for our group of 10 adults. Facilities were great - nice and spacious and comfortable. Main kitchen was the general gathering place. 2nd kitchen below was a good back-up to keep up with the coffee supply, beverage st orage, etc. Incredible view. Never did get around to trying the hot tub. Had issues in the theatre room being able to play DVD's so didn't get to enjoy that until our last evening - even though our group was relatively "tech savy." 1st mtce call w as unable to get it fixed. David came the next morning and eventually got it all working properly. Would STRONGLY suggest a simple "cheat sheet" be posted with clear step-by-step instructions. Once working, it was an incredible experience for concert DV D's!!

Everything about Don't Blink was top notch. I would highly recommend that you stay there. If you are cooking for a lot of people, I would suggest that you bring additional cookware since the cabin isn't thoroughly stocked. I had to call maintenance for a f ew items and they were quick and highly responsive. We are now spoiled by this incredible cabin in the woods. APG was great to work with.

We have stayed with APG for 5 years now and have had nothing but excellent service and outstaning cabins to stay in. This was our second year at Don't Blink! and we LOVE it! We had a power outage this year and called the guest service line to let them k now. They not only followed up but the owner called to let us know that the power company had been notified and if we needed more assistance to give him a call personally. We recommend APG to anyone that asks about going to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. Than ks so much for a great experience!

We were impressed with the cleanliness of the cabin that we stayed in. We have stayed in a number of nice cabins and liked our experience with Patriot Getaways the best. Very few other sites have startup supplies in them. Although we usually stop and sh op before hitting a cabin we arrived in the late PM and markets were closed. It was nice to have a few items on hand when we arrived, enough to hold us until the next day. We also liked the "go direct to the cabin" element. At other locations we have h ad go to the main office first and lose time. We liked the Patriot approach. We enjoyed the total experience. The Shewbridges

I would like to give you guys a little bit og advice and I feel you need to have an emergency kit for when the electric go's out. Unfortunly it went out on us and we had no flashlights are nothing. so it would be nice to have an emergency kit on hand in case it does it on someone else who stays there. Thank you
