We had a very nice stay. The host seemed very laid back. The cabin was cozy and we really enjoyed our trip. I think there were a couple of things that not everyone would be prepared for that are common in Gatlinburg area. The cabin and amenities were a bit rustic. The light switches were all over the place. The roads up to it a very steep and very winding. Otherwise, highly recommend.

It worked for what we needed. Didn't walk around bare foot down stairs. A lot of lights were out, was told to change them, just decided not to use the outdoor at night. Except the picnic table, that was well lit and dry enough to set at. Didn't get in hot tub.

We had a great time. The cabin was very clean and it was pretty well stocked. The porches could have used a good sweep to get rid of the spiders and webs but to be far, we are in the woods. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean. Great place for a sibling get together.

We had a great labor day weekend trip in Gatlinburg! The cabin was very large and well appointed, the kids had a great time as well. The hot tub was great as well and my wife and daughters loved it. Everyone also loved seeing the bears. So Many Bears!! We saw more bears around the cabin then we have ever seen in our many smokies trips. On more than one occasion they were within feet of us!

Disliked: Cleanliness
My family wasn’t happy with the cleanliness of the cabin! There were dead bugs, spiders, and cob-webs everywhere. We had to get ahold of the owner to clean for us again and bring fresh towels since some of the dead bugs were on the towels. The cabin wasn’t what we pictured it to be! There are cabins all around it on a cliff side. On a different note we did see bears every day around the cabin and on the deck (blocking us in the cabin for a while) but you can clearly see that the people are feeding the bears around those cabins which they shouldn’t. Regardless we didn’t let the disappoint of the cabin prevent our family from having a good time!

The property was a bit run down and there was no yard whatsoever BUT we saw bear everyday. The hot tub was great!! The housekeeper, Sissy was amazing!! The toaster was broken and she brought a new one in a jiffy. The windy road is breathtaking. I did wish we had a view from the porch but when we were in the driveway we could see the mountain view beautifully.

This was the second time we’ve stayed at Echo Place and could not have asked for a better host, house or location. Jay answered questions quickly and the house was perfect for our needs. Easy access to the park as well as downtown. We saw 9 bears this trip, including 4 cubs! A family of barred owls also stopped by on our last day! We will definitely stay here again in the future!

Our Second Stay at Echo Place…

…And we loved being back! You can’t find a better vacation home than Echo Place for beautiful views, comfortable rooms, and bear encounters. The bears stayed away for a couple of days, then finally emerged. My husband had an “up close” encounter with one bear that came right up to the house. Later, we forgot to lock the car (our bad!) and found in the morning that a bear had rummaged through it. Fortunately no car damage, but heed the warnings and lock those cars, folks! We love Echo Place and you will, too. The layout of the home is perfect for couples / small groups; plenty of room to visit while still having your own private space. Love the hot tub, the cozy kitchen (with everything you need for cooking) and the wonderful deck for relaxing in the mountain air. Book this place TODAY - you won’t be sorry. To quote Ahhh-nold: “I’ll be back!”

Nice base for a family vacation

Nice family vacation. Cute cabin with plenty of beds for the entire family. My teens enjoyed the game room and hot tub, and that there is a tv in every room! Wifi was good too. The beds were very comfortable! I've been to some vrbo's that have had horrible beds, so i was pleasantly surprised!!

Nice Gatlinburg home- close to downtown!

Our family of 4 spent 4 nights here. This is our second family trip to the area but we stayed in Sevierville last year. We didnt see any bears.Pros: 3 comfortable beds (and a bunk bed) 3 bath. Great Hot tub. Deck with a view (Mostly woods and neighbors). Clean (a few cobwebs downstairs but nothing terrible). Comfortable. Homey. Close to downtown Gatlinburg. Wifi. Roku. Easy parking right in front of home. Foosball, air hockey, shuffle board table, & poker table available. Cons: Steep road to cabin (freaked me out). Lower and upper decks and adirondack chairs could use a good power washing.Bring coffee, creamer, sugar. Bring laundry soap. Bring beach towels (for hot tub). If you want paper plates bring them but kitchen is stocked with plates, silverware, pots and pans. Hot Tub is downstairs- as long as everyone can walk up & down stairs everything will be fine.Overall loved the place but wouldn't stay here again only because of the steep road to the cabin. I'm from Michigan (a flatlander) and it's simply not my thing. The road is probably not bad to anyone from here- but I am not and it was our first time staying in Gatlinburg. I purposely avoided listings where reviews indicated steep roads but this one didn't so I'm just giving my personal opinion on that! I now understand if you're staying anywhere in Gatlinburg that's not downtown you're going UP! So much to do for everyone close by!!
