4.85 out of 5 average rating, 227 reviewsOpen & Accessible Modern Cabin close to Casino
Brandon's mountain cabin was beautiful and just what we needed for a couple's getaway. Brandon was very responsive and he wanted everything to be just right. The cabin was very clean and cozy. We enjoyed using the kayaks, the hot tub, and the grill to make dinner one night. We hiked on nearby trails in Cherokee, enjoyed the local restaurants, and the casino. The weather was perfect and the fall trees were still in full color. We would love to come back and stay at this cabin in the near future.

Amazing house on a fun lake with very responsive host. The place lived like a model home with like-new furnishings and high-end finishes at every turn. The outside deck and dock area were great for hanging out and jumping in the lake. We took the kayaks out and wished we could have stayed longer. The host was very responsive and did whatever she could to make us feel comfortable!

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 134 reviewsModern Cottage on Lake Chatuge -Sleeps 8; Lakeside
Great house for a group. The bedrooms are spread out so you are not on top of each other with two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs. The tv room with pool table was fantastic so the kids could be downstairs having their fun while the adults hung out upstairs. The waterfront access is fantastic and we spent our time just swimming and hanging out on the dock. Recommend bringing your own beach chairs for the dock. The house was a little short on basic supplies like paper towels, dishwashing detergent, etc. but hopefully that was just a fluke.

4.74 out of 5 average rating, 91 reviewsPeaceful Treasure #4 Riverfront - Near Gem Mines!
Loved our stay. Beautiful river setting--actually picture perfect. Belinda was prompt at answering questions and providing helpful information about the area. Home was comfortable and very clean. Purpose of visit was for my son-in-law and I to do a bit of fishing. In all honesty, weather conditions in the area hadn't been the best this season and fishing less than perfect. Not Belinda's fault!!! In spite of disappointment in regards to our daily catch, we enjoyed our stay. Would certainly return and recommend to anyone looking for a quiet get-a-way, with a beautiful river setting.

Such an amazing, beautiful home with stunning views! We had such a wonderful stay, home was incredibly clean, well stocked kitchen, linens, and toiletries. Peaceful neighborhood set in a small town surrounded in beauty and convenience. Took a day trip to Gatlinburg (about a 50 minute drive with traffic). Guide book was a wonderful addition by Michelle and she also had a nice supply of snacks upon check in. We did bring a dog with us & he had a blast playing with the neighborhood dogs. We will definitely be back.

We loved the house. I knew when I rented it that it was off the ground but this old lady got tired from the stairs. lol that was on me. The view was incredible. The full moon shining on the lake was perfect. Claire is incredible. The house had way more in the kitchen than I expected. We felt right at home.

Absolutely my favorite spot yet! We hope to be back in town and visit again. Super clean, we loved the view. The bed was amazing. The snack basket came in handy with our littles, I absolutely love how friendly the home is to my service dog. Cindy is actually the best and we really enjoyed our stay.

Cottage in Murphy
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 106 reviewsWaterfront 3 bedroom cottage in the woods.
This place is definitely a hidden gem. It’s located right close to town but feels like your miles outside the city. We loved the screened in porch each morning. It was the perfect place to sip coffee and watch the ducks playing in the pond. Place was clean and cozy we’ll definitely be back. Thank you again for sharing your home with us.

We enjoyed our stay and found this home to be peaceful and well appointed. The mountain views are beautiful and everything felt new and clean here. Calvin was very responsive and made us feel at home while we were in NC fleeing Hurricane Milton in FL. The home has great wifi and we were able to easily work remotely from here. Wish we could have stayed longer!

This cozy, beautiful spot is a treasure! Kim was very attentive to details in creating a space that is welcoming and feels like home. The kitchen was well equipped, decor blends modern and mountain cottage. Plenty to entertain at the house or nearby. The description helped us know how to best plan our visit to the area and there were great tips and maps at the house too. Beautiful scenery and a great place to enjoy birds, fall foliage, hiking and much more. So thankful for a great getaway!

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 42 reviewsLake front Sunset Cottage with dock & kayaks
My favorite place was the screen porch. The view was awesome. I enjoyed dining and reading out there too. The dock was terrific for kayak launching and swimming. The furniture and beds were comfortable. The kitchen layout was good. I prepared meals there every day. I love having a drip coffee maker there. The microwave is rather high if you are vertically challenged however they do provide a step stool to assist reaching. It was very helpful to have the mixing bowls and measuring cups. I even saw a crockpot which I would love to use next time. The laundry downstairs is a great feature. I was able to pack less and do a load of laundry while enjoying the view from the downstairs porch. My friend came to stay and we enjoyed the fire pit a couple of nights. Carrie reached out when the power went out one morning and also when the internet went out. I definitely would like to return again next year.

Can’t say how much we love Bearcat Cottage! Always a quick response to any questions, on a rainy day played monopoly and uno, sunny days went swimming,kayaking and roasted marshmallows. My girls had a mini spa day and felt like they were in a “fancy” hotel (the slippers and robes)! Can’t wait to come back. Kitchen has everything and more!
Cottage in Gatlinburg
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 54 reviewsArcade, Shuffleboard, & Hot Tub! 3 Bedroom/2 Bath.
We had a great stay at Jackie’s place, the place is as described, very clean and conveniently located. Jackie was a very responsive host. I would like to highlight 2 things that may not be very obvious from the description 1. There is a security deposit that is processed by a separate rental platform, we did some research about the platform and think it’s safe. The security deposit was 800 dollars and was returned after our stay. 2. If you plan to stay for longer, have a bigger group, and plan to cook your own food, remember to also pick up trash bags when you get your grocery. After we took the first bag of trash out we noticed there is no trash bags left in the home. The host confirmed that they normally leave 2 bags and it’s a common practice in the area. This is not an issue for us but I wish I know in advance so I can purchase additional trash bags when we went for groceries.

Me and my family will be booking again with Emily and Jason. Thank you guys for giving us an excellent experience and for accepting us to book with you ❤️ wish I could give more than 5 stars....

Cabin in Pigeon Forge
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 104 reviewsYourcation® Awaits in Stunning Cabin by Dollywood!
Clean and spacious home made for multiple families. The third floor is a crows nest with the poker table only and one of the bottom floor king bedrooms doesn’t have a closet. Other than that, the home is exactly as advertised. Great location for Dollywood and all things in the Smokies. The parking is relatively flat and easy to get in and out as well. Quiet cul de sac with 3-4 other large homes only so minimal street noise. Back of the home backs up to a wooded area where we got to see a black bear each afternoon as he ate berries and got a little sun. We would definitely go back as the host was very responsive and instructions were clear.
Cabin in Highlands
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 149 reviewsPeaceful Lake Cabin - Close to Town - sleeps 6
The cabin was lovely, in a beautiful location, and roomy and spacious. The fireplace did not work well. The draft was not strong enough to prevent smoke from coming in. In my opinion the chimney is not high enough. But other than that, it was beautiful and a delightful stay.

Stephanie and Kathleen were very kind, super responsive, and definitely take care of the cabin. I already recommended the cabin to my friend and believe we’ll come back. Definitely worth the price and would 100% choose the cabin over a hotel. My husband and I really enjoyed our time in TN.

Michael & Dawn were absolute lifesavers after the originally AirBNB I was supposed to be staying in cancelled on me at the last second. They were very responsive when I was trying to find something at the last minute during the area’s busy season, & the cabin is SO NICE. I could not recommend them and this property enough!
