We enjoyed our Airbnb there. Great views from top floor of building 1. There were a few things that needed fixed but nothing huge. It is an older complex. I liked the pool and 2 hot tubs. We ended up needed to do a load of laundry, and that was fine. The game room was 3 machines. I would stay again.

Nice mountain top setting. Lots of bears around the property. Recommend some extra hot tubl cleaning be done. Otherwise, layouts in the different types of rooms are very accommodating.

We rented this apt on Airbnb and it was phenomenal. It was all the appliances you made need, bed is super comfortable, the water pressure out of those showers are insane feels like a massage going through your body. This place has 2 pools and indoor and outdoor and 2 indoor hot tubs plus there’s a laundry room. Parking is first come first served but there’s plenty. This area there’s bears that you can see in the wild which makes it up for the whole experience.

The condo is comfy and super convenient. It's economical and has both an indoor and outdoor pool and an indoor hot tub as well that is always open to guests. There's a little playground area and a coin laundry and some coin-operated arcades. Very conveniently located to Gatlinburg. We rented from Mountain Time cabin rentals!

Place is quiet. Everything is just like the pictures. You are literally up long the mountain. My family of 6 enjoyed our stay. We would definitely book again!
