Sanctuary

If you are looking for stunning views of the Smokey Mountains then this is the place for you! 3 different decks to view any time of day and gorgeous windows that give you the view from inside too. Location is 30 min from Cades Cove and 20-25 from Maryville so lots of things to do if you wanted or just make a cup of coffee and relax. Definitely one of the save for another trip for a large family that can spend time together but plenty of space to spread out and not be on top of each other either.

Would definitely recommend the sanctuary. Gorgeous views, saw 5 bears over the course of a weekend all off the decks. Quiet and private location.

This cabin had spectacular views, and the decor was lovely. The kitchen, however was a great disappointment....the oven was very dirty, the pots and pans were equally dirty, and there were too many of them in a big jumbled mess in the pantry, with missing lids, etc. Also not enough cutlery for our group of 12, despite saying it sleeps 16. The coffee maker had a moldy filter full of coffee grounds in it, so had to be disinfected before using. Hot tub was green and stinky, and there was a sliding window beside it that wouldn't close (very dangerous with little ones) Pool table was small, old and worn and not level. Cabin was listed as having 2 sofa beds in the "dorm style" room downstairs, but only had 1. Also, their weren't no linens provided for The sofa bed that was there. The whole cabin was dusty. With a proper cleaning and reset/restock it could be lovely, but wouldn't rent again as is.

We enjoyed our stay. We were here for our daughter’s wedding. The place was large and spacious. It was nice to have a large enough space to share it with our children and grandchildren. The view was amazing. The game room was a hit. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
