We all had a blast! From Anakeesta to Dollywood, to hidden Smoky Mountain hikes or just staying home-it was an adventure filled experience to make stronger bonds and new lifetime memories. Spotting the bears trying to in our cars was also a hoot! The stay was beautiful all around & so comfortable. We plan to be back! Thank you!!!

This was an amazing property that provided us an amazing vacation for all of the adults and kids. We could not have asked for better. The morning sunrises with coffee were out of this world and the evening swims were equally enjoyable. Our encounters with mama bear and her three cubs brought an experience we will never be able to duplicate. The cabin amenities, the proximity to Pigeon Forge/Wears Valley activities and restaurants and the setting of the home were all tremendous and made for one of the best vacations ever! Thank you.

The kids loved the pool and games. We now have lots of poker players on our hands. S'mores at the fire pit and time spent on the porch taking in the view! We made a couple trips to Dollywood and had a hoot at the Hatfield & McCoys Dinner Feud. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much!

The bear family made two visits to the house and even got into one of our cars. Having one with its face pressed against the door was amazing too. The trip was the perfect balance of doing and relaxing. The pool as used often while the adults spent every minute we could on the porch. A personal highlight was renting a UTV and heading to the mountains with my 18 year old son. With his graduating and heading to school in August, I don't know how many more times we will have like that.

We have stayed in Tennessee quite a few times now. This trip we had no specific plans and really just enjoyed the cabin and the view. Our kids absolutely loved the pool, game area and theater room. I really enjoyed all the deck from the bedroom to enjoy the view every morning and late at night.

Having all of us under one roof comfortably. (Children, spouses and grandchildren) Love everything about this house but my favorite room is your awesome kitchen. We cooked every breakfast and dinner here. You definitely have the kitchen well stocked. Grand kids loved the pool & movie room. Adults loved the view, hot tub and sauna. Did get to see a Mama bear and 3 cubs wondering around the cabin! Had family pictures done in Cades Cove.

You have thought of everything - especially in the high-end appliances & well-stocked cupboards. The view of the Smokies couldn't be better - loved the huge porches that perched us in the middle of nature. Terrific experience - we will be back!

Five minutes into our arrival, 20ft from our downstairs porch was a mother black bear and her 4 cubs. We sat and watched them for 20 minutes. The snowfall this morning was our children's first. And the home is exquisite. Not so much the amenities but the overall layout and the decor. We didn't want to leave the house! We are certain to be a repeat customer!

We are a group of 5 couples. We have all been friends & cousins for 50+ years. Marriages range from 12 - 38 years. We have been coming to Sevierville, Pigeon Forge area yearly for nine years now. This is by far the best cabin we've been to. I love luxury cabins and each year one tops the last one. Next year will be ten years of us spending time here. So we are looking to hopefully celebrate here again. You all left no staples unturned. We didn't want for anything. Absolutely beautiful! No complaints at all!
