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.

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.

Thanks for hosting.

"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.

Beautiful Lakeside suite with private entrance
Very thoughtful, proactive, responsive, and considerate host. We had an exciting time with all the games she had lined up for her guests.

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.

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.

“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.

2BR Riverfront Cottage w/Fireplace | Pet Friendly!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at Jen and Mikes place. Beautiful home with plenty of room. Beds were comfortable. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. Unfortunately there was not much water behind the house this time of year, but we found a great fishing pond with a waterfall just minutes away that our dogs and granddaughter loved. There are great restaurants in the close by downtown area.

Cozy tiny home 1.8 miles from UT. Sleeps 4-6
Enjoyed our stay. Cute house that was very clean and comfortable. Great communication.

River Front- 1 mile to Parkway- No Steep Roads
Absolutely LOVED the river and the beautiful sounds of the rippling rocks. The only downfall was the fact that neither the windows or the doors were screened so that you could hear it from inside the house. The reason I booked this is so I could open a window or door at night to hear it. Loved the back deck, it was so relaxing. Neighborhood was very nice and easy to get to. The path along the river was very short, but provided great access to the river. If you like the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge, this location is great. If you don’t, there are alternate routes that feature amazing scenery. Overall, this place was very nice and very responsive.

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!

The BarnLoft at Foothills Farm Cosby/Gatlinburg
The location was perfect, the loft was cozy and clean, and Johnny was always available to answer our questions and concerns. Highly recommended!”

Dog Friendly, Lakefront Home w/hot tub, & dock
Just spent 6 days at Jason's place and it was absolutely beautiful and peaceful enjoyed the lake. Spent with my husband's family and brought the dogs who enjoyed swimming! Definitely wld come back.. He also was very responsive to any and all my questions ahead of time and during our stay.

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!

*Riverfront* Pet Friendly near downtown Gatlinburg
We absolutely loved our stay! The place is privately located but within walking distance of downtown Gatlinburg. Every night my 2 year old wanted to go down to the river and play! :) We will totally be staying here again!

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 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!

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.

Enjoyed our stay! The place was so clean! Would definitely stay again!
