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.

Peaceful Creekside Getaway
So I must say for our first visit to Tennessee this was a great first impression. The place was spot on with the pictures. It is kept up very well. Location, location, location. The cabin is in the perfect location for all of the attractions in the area. Close enough to everything, but far enough away as to not get caught up in the tourist traffic. If you are looking for peace and tranquility in a quaint location with gorgeous views this is the place to be.

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.

Casa Paz: Creekside Oasis in the Smoky Mountains
My husband and I were so happy with our stay at Judy and Maria’s tranquil home. Everything from the creek to the hot tub and relaxing living space were perfect. My husband enjoyed fishing in such a great spot, and I enjoyed watching the ducks with their little ducklings, and the hummingbirds that visited often. 😊 We spent plenty of time relaxing, but also enjoyed the close proximity to good restaurants and shopping, and hiking. Casa Paz is in such a convenient and beautiful location. For good food we recommend Chef’s Table and Haywood Smokehouse in Waynesville, and Twisted Spoke in Maggie Valley. The place was very easy to find and Judy and Maria were very responsive with any question we had while we were there. Highly recommend a stay here!!

“Majestic Memories” Lakefront and Smoky Mountain
The home is absolutely beautiful— so perfect for celebrating my daughter's graduation. Michelle was amazing and truly went above and beyond to make our stay special. She even surprised us with a few graduation items to help us celebrate, which was such a thoughtful touch. The view of the lake was incredible and made the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

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.

Lakefront, 2 Qn Bed, FULL Kitchen, NEW DOCK!
Host was very responsive to all our questions, He was very helpful when giving us the instructions about location. Beautiful place, very clean and with a gorgeous view. Brandon- Curt are doing a great job keeping the place clean and equipped with everything you need. There is a lot to do for the family, individuals and kids. Also short distance place’s worth it to visit. My family and I fully recommend this beautiful place.

Creek Side Mountain Retreat
This was a lovely place and exactly what I wanted!! The dog door and fenced in area was enough to convince my boyfriend that he needs to install one at his place. The view on the deck was incredibly peaceful! John was super friendly and helped with anything we needed. I worked “remotely” while I was there and no issues with the Wi-Fi! There were lots of nice little touches in the house and the bed was comfortable. Thank you!

Keaton Creekside Cottage -Cozy Charm, Pet Friendly
We loved our stay at the creekside cabin! The proximity to the Oconaluftee Visitors Center (just over 30 min) was perfect for our explorations in GSMNP. The house is also very close to a Publix and Ingles for groceries, and local spots for gas, food, and necessities. Our days and evenings were spent in the NP, but we made sure to spend one evening on the porch alongside the creek - and it was bliss! The space accommodated us, our toddler, and our pup. It rained hard a couple evenings, so it was very handy to have TV streaming options available. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and tools, allowing us to easily make breakfast and dinners. Hand washing the dishes is no problem for us. :) We hope to stay here again so we can explore more of the NP and Maggie Valley’s surrounding area! Highly recommend!

The Treehouse at Little River
We came to Knoxville for a wedding, but we had a blast staying at this place! The place was perfect for me and my fiancé! It wasn’t huge but wasn’t small either. We absolutely loved being right on the river and we will definitely be back, if allowed. I will say the stairs are pretty steep so if you have a hard time getting up stairs, it may not be the best. But for us it was perfect. We also weren’t far from anything, maybe a 10 minute drive if anything to local restaurants and grocery stores!

Spacious Property+River access+Hot Tub+Fire Pit
We loved our stay! The location was perfect, in the heart of Townsend. We enjoyed walking down to a private area of the river. Everything was very clean and we had lots of room to fit our family comfortably!

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!

*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.

Thank you, beautiful place and very clean!

River View on Hill near UT/Downtown/w Kbed & QSofa
This was such a nice place to stay! Scott was proactive in his communication and everything was well-laid out for us. The unit was beautiful with lots of thoughtful touches. There is a lot of room to spread out and spend some down time when you aren’t out exploring.

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.
We sat on the balcony every morning and enjoyed the beautiful peaceful river view. Very comfortable and clean home with everything you need. Jackie was very helpful and accessible. Convenient location. Definitely recommend this condo.

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.
