Cedar Lodge Condo
We had a wonderful stay! Great location that is close to many things to do in the area. Unit was very clean, spacious, & had everything one could need. Quiet and peaceful with a nice balcony looking over the river. Thank you for sharing your space!

Lake Hair Don't Care @ Lakeside
This is my favorite airbnb we have stayed in so far!! So peaceful and the room and view was amazing. Was a great place for a mental reset. We will definitely be staying here again.

Riverview• Downtown• Market Squarea• 3NT BeachTrip
This place is a gem on the river in Knoxville. The view is beautiful, especially at night with the bridge all lit up. I walked, and I walked, and I walked…. There are restaurants and coffee shops everywhere and it is very close to downtown. It’s in a really cool historic building and we really enjoyed it. It was wonderful from start to finish!

"Farmhouse Chic: Poolside Luxury" Sleeps 16
I took my family to stay in the farmhouse the week of Christmas. The house was very clean and matched the description given. The heater in the pool was out but the hot tub worked. When I had an issue and reached out, it was resolved quickly. It is within walking distance of many things to do. We enjoyed the breakfast vouchers and drinks in the lobby. We also joined in the sing along and s’mores and loved it!

Cozy condo with amazing view!
Great place to stay. Location was excellent and peaceful. Host communicated exceptionally well. Condo was very clean.

Beautiful Lakeside suite with private entrance
everything went smoothly, the place is very nice and the host very accessible and proactively made recommendations for the area. I would definitely recommend.

Peaceful Creekside Getaway
Had an amazing time! Was truly a perfect place! Even with a shared building, it was private. No interactions with neighbors and a peaceful community.

Brand NEW* river front, flat lot, near attractions
This place left my family and I speechless the moment we walked in, the home is beautiful and very homey! Everything was spotless clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the coffee bar! My family loved the Christmas tree and decorations the home had, made our stay very unique since we were there for the holidays! Kristal sent instructions for the hot tub, she was very helpful and attentive, making sure we had a nice stay, which we did. We definitely coming back to this place again. We absolutely love it so much, my family already looking forward to our next stay!!

Lake House - 3 Bedroom Lake Front Rental Home!
Very nice place on the lake. Thanks for hosting us!

Smoky Mountain Lake House-Boat dock/Theater/Hottub
We had a wonderful stay.

Waterfront Tiny Home, Fishing Lake | Crane Cabin
Great location! Recommend the hot tub boats. This was a hit with the family! Responsive host that responded quickly to any questions we had thru out the stay. Once as you leave the property it is a Straight shot to the strip in Gatlinburg which is about 15-20 minutes away!

Lake Front Lodge & Chalet - Sleeps 24
Could probably use a different cleaning crew. However, the place was lovely! Location great, property, beautiful & peaceful. The beds were great, clean, & plentiful. The owners couldn’t have been more accommodating, & friendly. Even the lake itself was larger & more beautiful than I expected. I would definitely stay there again.

Luxury Lakefront Home with Pavilion and Loft
We had a great time! The hosts helped us out with multiple questions and refilling the hot tub. They left chocolates, cookies and canned cocktails for us which was a pleasant surprise! We were lucky to stay during a week with great weather and we enjoyed using all of the great outdoor spaces. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area!

River Front- 1 mile to Parkway- No Steep Roads
Amy & Brett's home was a wonderful place to stay. It was super clean and had a lovely scent when we walked in. The bath towels were big and fluffy- unlike some places that give you cheap scratchy towels that mostly function as squeegees. Obviously, the river view was the star. It is beautiful. The sound is just the best white noise you can ask for. The location of the house is also worth mentioning. It is close enough to be super convenient, but away enough to not feel like you are in the hubbub.

Hideaway on Hill Q Bed & Q Sofa Bed Private Patio
My mother and I stayed here for a conference. The location is great and was just a short walk to the convention center. The space was clean and had everything we needed. You can hear the plumbing from upstairs, but the host provided earplugs to help with that. My only piece of feedback is that there is not much lighting around the stairs used to get inside the air bnb, and if you enter from inside the building, the stairs from the patio are very steep. If you are someone who struggles to navigate stairs, it may be something to consider. More lighting and a railing outside on the stairs would have definitely helped. Otherwise, I think the stay was great. A storm came in, and because the space is on the lowest level, we were very safe. And the host is very responsive, which is always a plus, especially if there are issues with codes and things like that.

Soothing Creekside Sounds
Great place to stay. Centrally located to lots of great restaurants, attractions and grocery stores. Loved sitting out back listening to the birds and the creek below. Very private and peaceful. Super clean with lots of extra nice touches. Check out Anakeesta, beautiful park and incredible Mountain views.

Peaceful River/ Mountains/ Pigeon Forge/ Dollywood
We loved being right on the river with a view of the mountains. Also loved the gas fireplace since the mornings and evenings were cooler. Enjoyed not being in too busy of a place but it was so handy to whatever we wanted to do. It was easy to get to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg or the park. Great place for 3 couples to stay. We thought it would be a great place for kids, too, but we didn’t bring any :)

Riverside Condo on Peaceful Side of the Smokies
It was our second time to stay here. Quiet, not all the hustle and bustle. Easy to get to attractions when you want to.

Riverfront Condo close to all attractions.
It always great staying at Jackie’s. I will always book with her when visiting Gatlinburg. Her home is great and the location is perfect. Jackie is a great host! 10/10 recommend!!

FREE Dollywood Ticket • 3bd 3ba • Condo on River •
The first thing I noticed was a clean smell as soon as I opened the condo door. The condo was awesome! Centrally located and so easy to check in and out. It had everthing you could want in a condo. Beds were super comfy and the Keurig hit the spot! Will definetly be staying with this host again!

River Song @ Cedar Lodge Resort, Rustic 2B/ 2B
We enjoyed our stay very much. I truly have no complaints. Everything was as described and the condo was very clean. I would stay again.
