“Spacious and quiet” I have never rented a cabin before so I do not have a reference point. I have an extended family visiting us and hotel rooms just did not seem feasible for us. The owner, Jim, was very easy to deal with - answered the phone immediately and explained everything to me how the cabin rental worked. We had a small dog so pet friendly was a big plus. Cabin itself is on a very quiet street. It was a little scary driving at night up the road since it was one way road leading up to the cabin and it was a little narrow. The cabin was very close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge (I think less that 10-15 minutes drive with no traffic). One thing that sucked (and it really was not a negative towards the cabin itself) was very poor cellular coverage once at the cabin (may be it was just my provider - Tmobile, but, thankfully, the owners provide access to both cable TV and internet so WiFi calling was working as expected for Tmobile). Cabin had no steps (a big plus) and everything inside was provided (linens, plates, silverware, trash bags, roll of paper towels and toilet tissue) - we liked everything about the cabin except one (may be minor) annoyance - the grout between the floor tiles could use some (ok, a lot of) scrubbing. We did not try the hot tub, but it seemed to be very clean and ready. I was ok with pet charge ($25 for the whole stay), but cleaning charge should be incorporated a little differently. We were charged a flat fee of $70 for cleaning and it seems that this fee is the same regardless of the stay length. I would like to see this fee somehow incorporated into the nightly rates themselves - it may be the same price at the end for the customer, but seeing that fee was a little irritating to say at least. Overall, I think we will definitely consider this cabin again upon our return to visit Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

“Awesome experience” Our stay at your cabin was great. The cabin was spotless. My son loved that you had a separate tv for video games! The amount of space was perfect for our group of eight. My only suggestion is to add an iron and ironing board. I probably overlooked the fact that you didn't have one when I booked and read about your amenities. I'm so used to places having them. Also I saw a washer/dryer connection. That would've been nice too. Overall we had an excellent stay and can't wait to book again next year!!

“Great Tradition” We just returned from our third college retreat at Moose Hollow Lodge and could not ask for a better experience. The location is convenient yet secluded and serene. The lodge itself is comfortable and provides so much for entertainment, that several of our group never ventured out of the cabin- who needs go carts when you have Ms. Pacman! Not only was the lodge wonderful, but the staff was great and understanding. I recommend Moose Hollow to groups and will definitely be returning next winter.

“Unbelievable Breathtaking Views” We arrived at night and never expected what we woke up to. We slept in the first day of our arrival, at least until the sun came up from above the mountains. Wow, wow, wow. I have never experienced the Smokey mountains in this manner. For as far as your eyes could see, mountain terrain, clouds and the city below were all in view. We visited places like Dixie Stampede, Cades Cove, Wonderworks and Old Mill District. All were within 30 minutes of the cabin. Our GPS took us to every location from the cabin with easy, not to mention all the extra views we were able to view on the drive to Cades Cove. The cabin was stocked with extra towels, blankets and pillows. Not to mention all the silverware, dishes and cooking utensils needed. It also had lots of games for entertaining the family, which we did not have much time for. The parking at the cabin was ample and the roads leading to the cabin were wide enough for 2 lanes. I highly recommend this cabin and can't wait to return in the next few years.

“The best weekend getaway of our lives!” We took the trip as a birthday trip for my boyfriend; we just wanted to have a small weekend getaway. As we first arrived, the driveway proved to be very steep (fair warning) (many cabins' driveways are that way) and parking space was small. We had enough room to park and turn our '06 Jeep Grand Cherokee around; however, I do not know if there would be room for two cars at the top of the hill in the parking area for the home. There is room on the hill, though. This was the only issue we had with our stay, and it was very minimal, as it did not affect our trip in the least. We picked the most perfect weekend in January, as it was warm enough to wear shorts any day, and the hot tub on the front porch provided a great view of serenity and sense of privacy. Each bedroom has ample space, and the showers in the bathrooms are very nice. There is a back door leading to a porch that wraps around one side of the cabin and a sitting area on the side. We had such an amazing stay that none of us wanted to leave at the end of that weekend. We will probably plan another stay at this cabin.

“Sad to Leave” Vacationing with my husband and my parents, we wanted to stay together while having our own private spaces. This cabin fit perfectly. The cabin can comfortably sleeps six, but 4 or less is ideal. The upstairs loft was adorable and my parents chose to stay up there because they thought it would be fun. It had twin beds, so not the most romantic of arrangements...but still fun and unique. The master bedroom was nice. The bed was a little on the soft side for my liking...but that's just me. We kept so busy during the week, I still managed to sleep like a baby the whole trip. The hot tub was always nice and hot and I loved sitting in there at night listening to the sounds and enjoying the view. The shower was a bit of an experience, but nothing I couldn't adapt to. It's a little on the small side, so I recommend making sure the water is to your liking before stepping in, lol. I loved the kitchen, it was wonderful having a full sized fridge, a microwave, toaster, small stove and dish washer. We went grocery shopping upon arriving in town, which saved us a lot of money by not eating out all the time. The biggest draw of all was the washer/dryer. Knowing we could do laundry allowed us to minimize our luggage as well. Over the course of six nights, we fell in love with this cabin and did not want to leave. Our last morning was spent running around, taking pictures of every last nook and cranny...preserving every memory we could. I can't imagine ever staying anywhere else whenever we visit Pigeon Forge from now on. In a moment, Trip Advisor is going to as me if I would recommend this vacation rental to a friend... not only will I, I haven't shut up about it. I can't stop telling my friends about it. :)

“Unbelievable location and did so many things at this unique cabi” Easy to check in and out. The outside and inside look even better in person. The way it was designed & decorated was so creative with all the small touches around the cabin. Very clean throuhout the cabin and on the outside. The location was perfect. Anything you could ever want to do: Golfing, hiking, fishing, skiing, tubing, canoeing, and site seeing. At the community center you can even play volleyball, basketball and other activities. They have 24 hour security in this gating community with partrol cars. I loved the fire pit in the backyard of the cabin and it has the biggest loft I have ever seen. You could walk out the cabin and start hiking on the trails. River in the back and a huge lake steps away. I'm so glad that we decided on this cabin for our vacation. Thank you very much to the River Cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
