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!

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviewsDeluxe cozy condo. Newly upgraded. New owner.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was by far the cleanest airbnb we have stayed at. The location was perfect--close to everything. Helio was in touch and very attentive. We had everything that we needed during the stay. The balcony and the river view was beautiful and private. Check in and out was easy. The kitchen has the necessities. If you plan to do anything like baking bread or specialized cooking, plan to bring those items with you. The pool and hot tub were very nice. The condo was cozy, clean, quiet and perfect for a break. We will definitely be back!!

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 138 reviewsWinter wonderland! Beautiful cardinals and creek!
This house is even better than the pictures! It’s beautiful and peaceful. The decor is beautiful and comfortable. The house offered everything you could possibly need for your stay. The back yard is amazing! Beautiful water views and lots on animals to watch. The location is perfect. Far enough away from the strip to feel secluded, yet close enough to get to everything you need. Dollar General Market right down the road was very useful. We loved everything about our stay. The owners are very friendly and responsive also.

This place left my family and I speechless the moment we walked in, the home is beautiful and very homey! Everything was spotless clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

Kristal sent instructions for the hot tub, she was very helpful and attentive, making sure we had a nice stay, which we did. We definitely coming back to this place again. We absolutely love it so much, my family already looking forward to our next stay!!

Could probably use a different cleaning crew. However, the place was lovely! Location great, property, beautiful & peaceful. The beds were great, clean, & plentiful. The owners couldn’t have been more accommodating, & friendly. Even the lake itself was larger & more beautiful than I expected. I would definitely stay there again.

Condo in Gatlinburg
5 out of 5 average rating, 42 reviewsDown by the Creekside
We thoroughly enjoyed our Gatlinburg vacation. The condo was in a great location and walkable to downtown, and the trolleys were easy to use when we didn’t want to walk. The creek beside the condo was so peaceful and we even saw bears just right down the street. Parking was easy and the pool was an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again!

Condo in Gatlinburg
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 206 reviewsSoothing Creekside Sounds
We really enjoyed our stay at Sara and Ed apartment. Everything was clean, the location was perfect because the traffic at the city is really heavy at least in Christmas and you can go walking from the apartment to the restaurant and the most important places in Gatlinburg, just 15 minutes walking. The beds were really comfortable and the balcony was a plus because it is a good place to relax and drink a coffee with the sound of the river. We’ll definitely be back again.

5 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsPeaceful River/ Mountains/ Pigeon Forge/ Dollywood
We loved being right on the river with a view of the mountains. Also loved the gas fireplace since the mornings and evenings were cooler. Enjoyed not being in too busy of a place but it was so handy to whatever we wanted to do. It was easy to get to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg or the park. Great place for 3 couples to stay. We thought it would be a great place for kids, too, but we didn’t bring any :)

The host Jackie was great from start to finish. She answered every question. Gave us a card and chocolates for our 24 wedding anniversary. The condo was immaculate. Very beautiful, and quiet. Go out the back deck and there was a creek 50’ from us. The whole experience with Jackie was grade A. Will definitely be going back, will definitely be doing business with Jackie again!
