Great getaway
Nice cozy condo in the mountains. The road up to the condo is interesting to say the least. But it’s to be excepted. The place was very clean. Only complaint was the bed is very soft due to a foam pad on the mattress.

Wonderful experience
This property is exactly as described. It is at the top of the mountain and we enjoyed the winding roads to reach it. We saw six bear all in the vicinity of the condo. It is located near Pigeon Forge, the Smoky mountains park and close to North Carolina. There is so much to do in this area.

The condo was very nice and clean the only think I didn’t like was the drive up, the drop off the side of the roads with no guard rail but that’s not on the rental company

Overall a good experience.
We had a great time here. Didn't actually spend a lot of time here, just a landing place for nights. Condo is older but very well kept and clean. We didn't quite have the views out our windows as expected but wasn't a deal breaker for us. Some of the rooms here would have fantastic views. Overall a great experience.

AMAZING
We randomly decided to go on a short vacation. My husband and I brought our girls ages 14 and 10. The property was perfect. The property manager, Gigi, made our time even better. Gave us helpful tips daily including ideas of what to do and cheapest options. The condo we had was a one bedroom. It had a futon in the livingroom the girls used. This futon was the nicest futon I've ever seen. They were very comfortable the whole stay. We will be back again.

I loved this little place on top of the mountain. The view was nice! We actually lost power for awhile because of storms, but the town offered lots to do until it was fixed! We will be back!

Great condo!
This condo is very nice and had everything we needed. It sits at the top of a mountain so they view is nice but the road is curvy and steep. The day we arrived it snowed which concerned us but the road was clear the entire time we were there. Gigi was very communicative and answered our texts quickly. We definitely would visit this property again but maybe not during a snowstorm.

Top of the mountain
Very clean property and it is very bear themed. The suite has a nice kitchen ready to cook. The pool and hot tub are open 24/7. Cons: You are on the top of the mountain and the roads are curvy. Beautiful views on the way up. The walls are paper thin. We had people talking from the next room and heard everything. This room is on the second floor so we also heard everyone walking above us. I also thought we booked a private chalet but it is an apartment style property.

Too cluttered
Excess to property was difficult. Decor was too cluttered for such a small space. Patio furniture was uncomfortable. Door and door glass from main room to patio was damaged. Outside property was unkept, dirty steps to second floor and all hallways needed cleaning. View was okay but nothing spectacular. Bathroom needs updated. Bed had broken poster knob. We were left instructions to call when we checked out. Since cell service was not available we tried the land line which was dead. That kind of scary in case of an emergency. Of all the places we have stayed on Gatlinburg I would say this is probably the worst.
