Had a great time with family at Bella Vista. The kids liked the front area to play in and the adults enjoyed the wonderful view on the back balconies. The hosts were very responsive to questions and seemed genuinely interested in our comfort during the stay. Saw bears the first two days (remember to leave your doors locked!) which the kids loved. We would absolutely stay here again should the chance arise, thank you to Chris and Sarah for sharing your home!

Absolutely CLEANEST cabin we’ve ever rented. The yard is amazing. The views are amazing. The kitchen is massive. We will be back every year.The owners are incredibly responsive. The ONLY thing I would recommend improvement on is the blinds on a few doors were broken and not functional. But there are like 20 huge windows and doors to see the mountains out of so it was not inconvenient at all. 5 star review - perfect place!

House was exactly what we wanted and more - Nice House with a View, Comfortable Beds and Bear activity. House is set on a nice lot with plenty of parking with breathtaking views. We came to area for the Rod Run Car Show and House is conveniently located to everything. Had a Bobcat in our yard on Tuesday and a Bear got into our car on Friday when we were loading it but left after being told to and did not do any damage. We came back with wonderful memories, pictures and stories. We will rent this house every year going forward.

Spacious cabin for our family of 10. Loved the incredible views, both the evening sunsets from the relaxing hot tub, and the morning sunrises from the front porch glider. The grandkids especially loved the game room and the adults enjoyed a glass of wine around the fire after the kiddos got tucked in. The windy road up to the cabin was a bit scary as was our bear ‘encounter’ but both were part and parcel to a stay in the Smokies!! Such great memories! Our only glitches had to do with confusion surrounding the alarm system directions and some disappointment in the level of cleanliness. I was also surprised by the meager supplies provided for a 5 night stay. Apparently it is protocol in this area but not typical in our history of VRBO stays. They provide a basic starter supply, which that we has to bring our own hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher and laundry detergent pods, firewood and coffee and condiments. Luckily there is a great grocery store just five minutes away so all worked out. Communication with the owners was excellent.

The stay in general was good, but the start was not the best…When we arrived to our cabin 20 minutes early understanding check in was at 4:00 pm. We were greeted by a gentlemen who gave us the 3rd degree about being 20 min early. We apologized and explained we drove 12 hours to get there so it was difficult to time it perfectly. We understood we couldn’t access the cabin until 4…he asked us to leave the property rudely then followed us down the mountain and told us we could go back up. He said he was sorry for his behavior and he was concerned that they would be canceling our stay…please note this is 20 minutes before our check in…..very unsettling and immediately stressed all of us out. Once getting into the cabin all of the dishes in the cabinets were dirty. We had to hand wash everything before using it because there was no dish washer detergent provided even though we were instructed to run the dishwasher before departure. The only cutting board was broken. The food prep knives were dull beyond use. The bottom of the garbage cans inside were completely covered with mold. The trash outside has garbage all around the inside of the cage…the cabin in general was dusty and kind of dirty. There was old food under the couches that our dogs ate lol…the exterior of the cabinets were all sticky and had a residue on them.

We had an amazing stay at this cabin during New Year’s week! The location was perfect—close enough to downtown Gatlinburg to enjoy all the attractions, restaurants, and festivities, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. The cabin itself was cozy, and beautifully maintained, with plenty of space for everyone to relax comfortably.The views were absolutely stunning, especially in the mornings and evenings, and made welcoming the New Year extra special. The amenities were exactly as described, making it easy to settle in and feel at home right away. Everything from the kitchen to the living areas was well-equipped, and the cabin was warm and inviting despite the winter weather.The hosts were responsive, friendly, and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. This was the perfect place to ring in the New Year, create great memories, and unwind in the Smoky Mountains. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this cabin to anyone visiting Gatlinburg!

This cabin was absolutely beautiful from the outside to the inside. Decorated beautifully. Felt like home away from home. It was nice and clean, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could imagine, the bathrooms were nice and clean. The game room downstairs was perfect for some downtime when we just hung out at the cabin. The cabin is just about a mile and 1/2 out of town but when you reach the cabin which sit on top of a hill, the scenery is amazing. Chris the owner is amazing to work with. FYI when you see those little notes they leave around the cabin or on the app about making sure to lock your car doors, PLEASE follow those instructions. My daughter and son-in-law ended up with two bears in their car around 7:00 pm Saturday night. LOL They got lucky that nothing was tore up they just ate some cheez-its and tore the wine box open. But it is a memory to remember. We hope to be back!

Love love love!!!! I don't think you'll find another cabin with these views, be this close to town and have so much yard for the dogs! This is easily our favorite cabin that we have ever stayed in. Oh and the BEARS!!!!! They visited almost every night and was such a awesome experience to see. The house was really clean and the owner was immedietly responsive anytime we reached out for questions prior and during our visit. They also utilized a website that made checking in/out instructions a breeze. We felt really safe having a house alarm system! Overall the best cabin and when we go back we will only be staying at this cabin! Do note the drive up is pretty steep and curvy. I would use Google street view and see it before booking (especially in wintery season).Only thing I want to point out is that the pictures of the yard need updated. We were quite surprised there is a house literally in the driveway. From the pictures it looks like you are in the woods but there was active construction and new houses all over. I would knock a star off for this but we booked like 14-15 months in advance so we gave a pass as we prob booked before all of it. I would reccomend the owner to up date the driveway picture because it is really misleading. Overall its an amazing cabin, super close to town, has breathtaking views, fun game room and room for the whole family. The yard is a MUST for our furry friends

Great vacation home! Had a wonderful time. The views from the cabin were beautiful in the heart of fall. Our host provided us with all the info we needed and the cabin was clean and well stocked. Definitely watch out for the bears as they check things out frequently and don’t leave anything (including soda cans) in your car! The fire pit and hot tub were welcome extras that got a lot of use. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon! Thank you!

It was a very nice cabin with pretty views, enough bedrooms/bathrooms for everyone, plenty of parking for 3 cars, games for kids and much more. The cleanliness was lacking though. The couches/beds haven’t been moved in ages to vacuum under. We noticed as we had to keep retrieving the kids toys. The windows on the doors to decks were filthy with finger prints/smudges. The toilet in the master had pee down the front with dust accumulating on it. It would have been a 5 star rating otherwise.

Beautiful, clean cabin with stunning views. It takes your breath away every day. We were with my 3 adult kids and 2 dogs. Everyone had their own king bed, bathroom and private decks. The kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of seating for eating and just hanging out. 2 family rooms if you needed some extra space. Perfect place for our pups too. We saw bears almost every day! So that was exciting! There’s a store very close with everything you need and some cute villages to shop in Gatlinburg which were about 10 min away. Pigeon Forge was only 20-30 min away. The hiking trails were also super close.
