Cedar Lodge Condo
This place is worth 1,000 stars. Beautifully decorated. The beds were super comfy. Great location behind the Dolly Stampede. We had balconies off the living room and one of the bedrooms that overlooked a stream. We had 3 bedrooms & 3 baths. Each room was very private. One of the rooms had a hot tube jacuzzi. The kitchen was very well stocked with anything you needed to help you cook. New pots & Pans. There was even ice in the freezer. Two comfy recliners. This was absolutely the nicest air bnb I’ve ever rented. Can’t wait to go back.

Little River Escape in the Smokies!
The place was beautiful and clean and all the my toddler and I needed. He loved steeping into the River outside the INN. We watched Blippi, handyman Hal and Katie’s Classroom inside the pub connected to where we stayed. Everyone was friendly and it’s bike friendly. We rode the 11mile Cades Cove loop on bike and we went to Tuckaleechee Caverns and it was truly a magical stay and media Teton for us.

Lake Hair Don't Care @ Lakeside
This is my favorite airbnb we have stayed in so far!! So peaceful and the room and view was amazing. Was a great place for a mental reset. We will definitely be staying here again.

"Farmhouse Chic: Poolside Luxury" Sleeps 16
I took my family to stay in the farmhouse the week of Christmas. The house was very clean and matched the description given. The heater in the pool was out but the hot tub worked. When I had an issue and reached out, it was resolved quickly. It is within walking distance of many things to do. We enjoyed the breakfast vouchers and drinks in the lobby. We also joined in the sing along and s’mores and loved it!

Cozy condo with amazing view!
We loved our stay at Myriah's cozy little condo on the river. Being able to sit on the balcony in the mornings with our coffe and watch all the wildlife like geese, herons, ducks, and even a beaver made for a great start to our day. The location was great, off the parkway, but still close to shopping, dining, and entertainment. We would definitely stay again. Myriah was easy to communicate with and was very hospitable.

Peaceful Creekside Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Mountain Creek Inn in the Wine Down unit. Our host was responsive and helpful. Everything in our unit was clean and just as described. The view from the back deck was beautiful. We loved listening to the stream flowing by and soaking in the hot tub in the evening. We like to cook and enjoyed preparing our meals in the well-appointed kitchen. The bed was quite comfortable. Our time at Wine Down was relaxing and refreshing, just what we wanted in a mountain getaway! It was also easy to get to places we wanted to visit in the Great Smokey Mountains. We'd love to stay at Wine Down again!

Tranquil Lakeside Loft w/ Dock "Lake Bass"
We really enjoyed our stay at Lake Bum. A welcoming, clean, comfortable place that is peaceful with a lake view. Very close to historic Dandridge and an easy drive to Kodak and Sevierville, if looking for greater restaurants/shopping choices. Would definitely book again without hesitation.

Riverfront Studio with community pool & fire pit
Very conveniently located within Townsend, which is quaint and has a good selection of restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, etc. Studio was as described and they provided bathroom and kitchen amenity kits, which were helpful. Would recommend for an affordable but reliable stay when visiting the area!

“Majestic Memories” Lakefront and Smoky Mountain
The Host is great and very responsive and helpful. This is the 2nd time we have stayed at her property and would highly recommend it to have a family vacation here. The view is beautiful as well.

OPEN tonight! Enjoy the creek & wildlife!
Cottage by the Creek was exactly as described. It was so relaxing and peaceful. My absolute favorite place to be was the swing listening to the creek and sharing my time with the multiple ducks, geese, cardinals and other birds. We got lucky enough to see a turkey and a hummingbird. The distance to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg were perfect! I’m so hoping to be able to stay here again in the future.

Brand NEW* river front, flat lot, near attractions
This house is amazing!! It was beautiful and extremely clean! There were so many things to do in the house and also so close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Kristal was super proactive and reached out to ensure we had no questions. Would definitely stay here again!!

Thirsty Bear Ranch, fenced yard, Riverview
WOW! My family and I were so spoiled during this stay, I'm not sure we can stay anywhere else without comparing it to our time at the Thirsty Bear. We felt so at home in this beautiful little cabin. Before we even stepped in the home, we were met with the warmest of welcomes, and after entering we enjoyed exploring the home with all the iconic decorations. Every inch of the house was spotless and the hosts - Michelle and Tim - were so genuinely kind and thoughtful. With each and every detail, they made this cabin feel like home. We can't wait for our next stay! ❤

The River Place. Hot tub. Riverfront Mountain View
Can not say enough about this beautiful home and Sherri's communication. Sherri's communication was excellent and the home was exactly as described. Such a convenient place to stay with plenty of room to park.

Summer Sale! 1 Mile to Strip| Pet Friendly
It was a wonderful stay. We booked at last minute and Kate was very quick and responsive. The home was as described and as pictured and very clean. It was also very conveniently located to many attractions and restaurants. I definitely recommend!

New Pond Cottage | Waterfront Views, Arcade Room
Woowwwww just wowww! Amazing would be an understatement about this place! The pictures didn’t do any justice. It was so peaceful and calm here and unlimited fishing!! I’m booking again for a July stay! Amazing place and an even more amazing host!

Luxury Lakefront Home with Pavilion and Loft
We had a fantastic time! The house was clean and had tons of amenities and activities, especially for children. Shelly went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time and was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Excellent experience!

Pool’s Open at Down by the Creekside!
What a wonderful condo and perfect location! We absolutely loved the charm and amount of space in this condo, and the convenience couldn’t be better—just a quick 3–4 minute walk to downtown Gatlinburg, yet peaceful and quiet at night. One of our favorite things was relaxing on the wraparound deck with a cup of coffee from the fully stocked coffee bar, while listening to the soothing sounds of the river flowing nearby. The beds were comfortable, and the linens were clean and fresh, making for a restful stay. Fun tip: If you turn right out of the parking lot and take a drive behind the river through the mountain neighborhoods, keep your eyes open—we spotted five bears in under an hour! Thanks so much for a great stay! We highly recommend!

Soothing Creekside Sounds
The condo was absolutely perfect. It looked just like the pictures. It was very clean. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay again.

By Peaceful River/ Mountains Views/ Pigeon Forge/
We found this absolute gem last minute. They let us check in after 10:30 pm. Extremely easy to communicate with. Quick response time. No complaints here. Hard to believe it was only a mile or so from the parkway in downtown pigeon forge. So quiet. Sat on the balcony and watched the river and animal life every morning and evening. The view of the mountains is beautiful. Perfect for our group of 8.

River Dreams- Serene Retreat
We couldn't have asked for it to be any better, everything was clean and tidy, no dust in the corners, no funky smells, no carpet and that is definitely a plus for me. I did not have to contact our host for anything, instructions were clear before we left home, we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay again

*Riverfront* Pet Friendly near downtown Gatlinburg
Very nice cozy and nicely secluded We stayed in unit 6 all the way at the end and it was wonderful, wish parking lot had just a little more light outside to see when backing in or pulling in. But overall wonderful location and will be booking same Condo again shortly

Riverfront Condo close to all attractions.
Jackie's place was perfect for my family of three. My husband and I loved having a balcony facing the river attached to the bedroom, while my teenage son settled in comfortably in the sofa bed in the living room. The location was perfect. Very peaceful away from the busyness of the many attractions with a short drive to all the everything Pigeon Forge has to offer. Great recommendations for restaurants by Jackie with the Local Goat being our favorite for dinner. Applewood Farm House Restaurant is within walking distance and we highly recommend for breakfast! Check-in was easy, even though our code didn't work, I messaged Jackie and she was very responsive and had us in with a new code in minutes! Check out instructions were simple and clearly laid out in the notebook created with lots of helpful information. Definitely a great choice for a family visiting the area. We even saw a large group of Canadian Geese floating by on our last day!

The first thing I noticed was a clean smell as soon as I opened the condo door. The condo was awesome! Centrally located and so easy to check in and out. It had everthing you could want in a condo. Beds were super comfy and the Keurig hit the spot! Will definetly be staying with this host again!

Treetops Resort Gatlinburg 2Bd2B Condo. SATURDAY
I only stayed for two nights and with the amount of activities I was doing with my kids, I didn't get to use the kitchen nor even walk around the property. I do regret that part because the view from my balcony showed the running creek. Upon check-in and inquiring about fishing, the front desk explained that it is stocked with trout every Thursday. The place was clean and quiet. The only thing that bothered me was the scent from the airplug which upon finding I removed. I just didn't care for that particular scent. Overall, it was a good price for the two nights and there were no surprise fees. It is just outside the strip in Gatlinburg but will still need a car to visit the strip unless you don't mind walking about 30 to 40 mins. Do yourself a favor and do not eat the pancakes at FlapJacks Pancake Cabin down the street. My kids complained about the taste of the pancakes and asked why the buttermilk ones tasted salty.
