Description
The NEW Sensational View reopened August 8, 2018 and guests have already given the new house over 25 consecutive 5-star reviews across our listings! After losing the original cabin in the November 28, 2016 fire, we worked with a Knoxville architect to design the best home we could put on this lot. The custom design lets you tower over everything while being immersed in the panoramic mountain and city view. Check out our pictures to see the spectacular views.
***ANNOUNCING EMBRACING VIEW!!!*** We found another property with among the very best views in the Smokies and purchased it in August 2017! Embracing View surrounds you with country charm and panoramic mountain views. The front and back decks offer views of both sunrise and sunset over the mountains. Check it out here: https://www.flipkey.com/properties/9000344/
******************************
Sensational View current status: After opening August 8, 2018, 90% of our available nights in 2018 sold out. As of late January 2019 we have 27 bookings for the year, which is over 30% of the available nights. Most bookings come in between January and mid March, so if you want your first choice dates, don't wait too long.
We will describe Sensational View for you here... if you want to see guest comments about the home, scroll down to the next stars.
The NEW Sensational View is 3,061 square feet, five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and sleeps up to 23, with 19 guests in bedrooms and two sofa beds in the common areas.
The first floor and specifically bedroom two are designed to be very accessible. Many of our past guests have been interested in easy access for elderly family members (we have elderly family members too). This is important to us! Entering the cabin requires going up one step. Then the whole first floor (inside and deck) is flat. Bedroom 2 has a shower with a bench and three grab rails, plus a shower head you can mount or hold in hand. There are also grab bars next to the toilet. (All toilets will be chair height.)
The first floor has a great room including the kitchen, dining room, and family room. Our housekeepers already crafted another beautiful 12 foot dining table just like we had in the last house. The whole room has views toward Gatlinburg and the mountains with a wall of windows. This room will have a 70" TV.
All five bedrooms have attached bathrooms. The master suite on the first floor has a large bathroom with marble shower and separate tub. It has great views and direct access to the deck and hot tub. This and all bedrooms will have 49" TVs.
We bought a gorgeous Marquis Euphoria hot tub, which beats any hot tub we've ever seen at a rental. A view this good deserves a premium spa. We are also using bronze colored metal railing on the deck so the view is as unobstructed as possible.
The second floor has a large game room, designed as a balcony overlooking the great room and the view. It features a pool table, foosball table, cocktail arcade, and 65" TV. Bedrooms 3 (four guests and big views) and 4 (seven guests) are on opposite sides of the game room. A wraparound deck connects the bedrooms outside and offers not only amazing views of the city and mountains but also a neat perspective looking back into the house. (Thanks to our architect for convincing us this was a good idea. We were skeptical but the first time up there blew us away. it's awesome!)
Bedroom five is the penthouse - a bedroom/bathroom suite with a king bed and sleep sofa, wet bar, refrigerator, microwave, and seating area perched high above everything. It has a wall of windows 16 ft wide for the best panoramic view of Gatlinburg and the Smokies anywhere. If there is a better suite in town, we would seriously like to see it! There will be a 65" TV over the wet bar, but you may never notice it because of the view. :)
Here are the new sleeping arrangements:
First floor
Master Bedroom: King (sleeps 2)
Bedroom 2: Queen (sleeps 2) - note that the shower has a bench, three grab bars, and a shower head that can be mounted or handheld; the chair height toilet has two grab bars
Great room: Queen sleep sofa (sleeps 2)
Second floor
Bedroom 3: Two queens (sleeps 4)
Bedroom 4: Full over full bunk and triple bunk (sleeps up to 7 or separate beds for up to 5)
Game room: Queen sleep sofa (sleeps 2)
Third floor
Penthouse: King and queen sleep sofa (sleeps 4)

Let our guests tell you more about Sensational View... these are some of our favorite comments from our reviews in the past four months.
- Stunning vacation home. Beautiful views. Just no words to explain the best place ever.
- The views from the decks and penthouse windows are better than anything you can see from the Space Needle or Sky Lift. We woke up in the clouds in the morning and had gorgeous sunset views in the evening.
- Your place was absolutely beautiful and the view was spectacular. Thanks for building such a wonderful place for all of your guests to stay.
- We have been to the NC/TN mountains every year since 2009 and this is the BEST stay we ever had! The view from the house is unforgettable!
- The penthouse is breathtaking. When we got upstairs we decided we might need to move in up there, owners and other guests won’t ever know we are here. Best review I can give is I am in love with this place.
- The simple but elegant, beautiful furnishings - most are hand made including beds. All just amazing. The unique lights all give it the atmosphere desired for being in most elegant chalet with most sensational view.
- The owners are wonderful, attentive caring people. They spent a lot of loving care in designing & furnishing this beautiful chalet, it is well thought out.
- This home was not only beautiful, it was homey and decorated in a style that hugged you the moment you arrived! We had plenty of space and loved the showers. One evening, we could not help but just stop and admire one of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever witnessed. They all were beautiful but this one was a very special one from the Mountain. You can feel the love and pride that has been taken in this home.
- Jay and Amy have outdone themselves with the attention to detail in this home. I absolutely love the farmhouse style.We had a spectacular time with our family. There were 12 of us and ample room for all. We were fortunate to meet the caretakers, James and Maria, who showed us around and drew our attention to all of the beautiful furniture handmade by James. If we do any vacationing in Gatlinburg, we won't even bother looking anywhere else.
- Truly a magnificent place to stay. Views that are second to none, with amenities that made us feel right at home (or shall I say, better than home!). The proximity to downtown as well as hiking makes this location perfect no matter what you are looking to do. With every bedroom having an attached bathroom, there is perfect privacy for traveling with a group. Host was always very responsive to any questions that we had. My family has been going to Gatlinburg for many years, and this is by far the nicest chalet that we have stayed in.
- The house is just beautiful. Fantastic breathtaking view. Awesome job on planning and design of your new home & ours for a few days.
- The view of Gatlinburg from the house is constantly changing. At times, we were in the middle of clouds, or watching the morning fog lifting, or seeing the lights of Gatlinburg come on throughout the evening. Very Peaceful. We hope to do a repeat of this vacation but only if we can stay here again!
- We've rented many many homes and this by far has been the nicest, it was very well laid out, super clean, so close to everything but yet you felt miles away... the owners spared no expense and it shows. Loved it.

Response from the owner Hi Brenda, It was a lot of fun working with you all over the past year to plan this trip.

“Awesome”
Beautiful cabin!!!! Beautiful view, truly sensational. Only drawback is the driveway to the cabin. Booking was easy.

Response from the owner Thank you for the great review... the word beautiful is popping up a lot for this home, which certainly makes us happy! It's worth clarifying that the driveway is no big deal for normal cars and trucks. For folks bringing exceptionally large vehicles (15+ passenger vans or extended bed crew cab trucks), please *tell us* so we can give you tips on accessing the driveway and parking area.

Response from the owner Hi Ken, Thanks for all the positive feedback during your stay. We hope guests might think of the house as "perfect" but that is a lofty goal for sure! For future guests, be sure to read our welcome packet for tips on getting larger trucks up to the property. Our construction guys showed us how they routinely backed trucks with 14' trailers right up next to the house, and we share that info with you.---Jay & Amy

Response from the owner Hi Amanda, Thanks for leaving such a glowing review. After pouring our heart (and money... lol) into rebuilding this place, we are so happy to see reviews like this and hear directly through phone calls and texts how much our guests love the new home. Your group was wonderful. Thanks for leaving the place super clean and even starting to launder towels. That's beyond expectations. :) ---Jay & Amy

Response from the owner George, thank you for the kind comments about our new home. Your positive feedback about the home and the views mirror what we are hearing over and over again from our guests in this first month of renting. We will welcome you back along with any family and friends. I spoke with four local riders I know in Gatlinburg who are familiar with the property, and they were surprised by this report, saying they would have no issue bringing their bikes up to the house. The variety of equipment and rider experience certainly makes all the difference. Any future prospective guests, feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss.---Jay & Amy

Response from the owner Hi Marna, What a pleasure to have guests like you to open our new home. It's been 21 months since we last hosted a guest before the fire... getting this first review is a great celebration for us, kind of the icing on the cake of having the house done! Thank you for the kind housewarming gift. We hope to have you back again before long.---Jay & Amy
