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.

Great space! So convenient to everything. Quiet stay and easy to get in and settled.

"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
This was a great place to stay, Susan was great to work with. We would definitely stay again.

Peaceful Creekside Getaway
Wonderful place to stay, had just about about everything we needed. Hot tub was extremely nice and being by the creek was so peaceful. Back porch did not lead us directly to the creek but we were able to walk around the whole unit which led us straight there. I would book again :)

Brand NEW* river front, flat lot, near attractions
We loved our stay here! Our group really enjoyed all the space and the beautiful kitchen/game room. The host was extremely responsive and even worked with us on our arrival time. I will say if you are not familiar with the area, it seems like you are lost because the house doesn't fit in with the street, but we felt extremely comfortable and at home! We would 1000% stay here again. If you are needing a place for a fun girl's trip, this is your sign to book here!

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

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!

Private Lakefront Retreat on Douglas Lake
Would stay again. Awesome place!!!

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
Our stay was truly exceptional. The house was thoughtfully stocked, very clean, and the views were AMAZING. The property was spacious enough to accommodate two families comfortably, and the outdoor areas provided additional living spaces, allowing everyone to spread out and relax. Shelly and Chloe demonstrated outstanding communication throughout our stay, making the experience seamless and enjoyable. We look forward to booking this home again in the future.

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.

Come have fun in the sun on the Tennessee River
Our family had a beautiful stay while visiting family in Tellico Village. We slept great, had lots of room to unpack and spread out, and the kitchen came stocked with some spices, flour, etc.

Hideaway on Hill Q Bed & Q Sofa Bed Private Patio
I left a five star review, because the host was very accommodating and understanding of a situation that was out of his control. We had a homeless man hanging around the entrance when we went to check in and made the ladies staying in the unit alone not comfortable. The building has no trespassing signs and this is just something you risk being in the city. The host was very accommodating and understanding and took care of us.

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 Views/ Pigeon Forge/ Dol
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.
We enjoyed this cute little apartment for our trip to Pigeon Forge. We had a family trip where we all met up in the middle somewhere and this was the choice for the destination. We were not there a whole lot to hang out because we were out and about doing activities together. Our favorite parts of the apartment were the balcony overlooking the river, the jacuzzi tub and of course the cozy cute fireplace in the living room! Was not too far from the main stretch in Pigeon Forge and was also far enough back to not hear all of the hustle and bustle from the main strip.

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!

Treetops Resort Gatlinburg 2Bd2B Condo. SATURDAY

River Song @ Cedar Lodge Resort, Rustic 2B/ 2B
Very close to everything downtown. Condo was Decorated nicely, very gatlinburg/pigeon forge feel. Lacey was very responsive to messages and accommodating. Kitchen well stocked with pans, dishes even a slow cooker. Neighborhood was quiet. Comfortable bed amd clean bathrooms.
