The house was great. Loved the location, easy access to the national park and Townsend. The house was clean, well maintained, and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend.

Much nicer than the photos. Large rooms with high ceilings. Comfortably furnished. Amenities included that we were not expecting such as a pack n play for the infant in the group. You have to travel about 25 minutes to the activities in Pigeon Forge area but were very close to National Park & Cades Cove. Grocery store, restaurants, souvenir shops, and gas stations nearby. Bedrooms were beautiful but the beds were high. If you have a party member with hip/knee issues you might want to take a stool. Kitchen was better equipped than most rentals we've stayed in. I didn't see a mixer though. If traveling with multiple vehicles (we had 3) you may find it easier to back into the driveway. Otherwise you would be backing out on a sharp turn up a steep hill. A small note about the driveway. It is concrete and the porch step is also concrete. In the bright afternoon sun we had 3 people trip on the step going onto the porch. No injuries. We set a chair there as a reminder.

Beautiful home with great furniture. Far away from the hustle, and a great drive to get there through the mountains. Place looked exactly like the photos and would absolutely stay there again.
