~ 1 Mi to Dollywood: Family Home w/ Pool & Hot Tub

Reviews

• 5/5

  Amazing! Plenty of space for our large family to spread out, close enough to town to enjoy the touristy aspect of both towns, yet far enough away to feel secluded! Loved the pool and the outside seating area!

  Tons of space and amenities for everyone in our family. Some issues with the fire pit and pool heat, but management did resolve them. It was very close to Dollywood. We would definitely book this home again.

  5/5

  In the words of my 9-year-old granddaughter, the house was the "awesomest". It was perfect for our extended family of 15, which included us, our four children and spouses, and seven grandchildren, one of whom is Level 1 autistic. It is on a very quiet road with little traffic, even though it is very close to Pigeon Forge and maybe 5 minutes from the Dollywood entrance. We sat out every night on the patio and just enjoyed the ambiance. The house itself is one floor, with no steps even at the entrance. The bedrooms are nicely spaced, so that the individual families felt they had privacy. The two large game rooms kept the grandkids fully occupied. A bonus was the stand-alone gaming console with classic games. It was in constant use, even by the grownups. The pool was just the right size for us, and I liked that it was possible to sit under the shade structure and watch the kids play. A great feature is that two of the bedrooms have separate entrances, so that we as the grandparents were able to wake up at leisure and walk the few steps back to the house to find breakfast fully underway. The layout of everything being on one floor, with one long hallway connecting everything, made us feel like we were all together, even though lots of different activities were going on. The two living/family rooms were far enough apart that sound from the TVs did not travel, and still we could be at the long kitchen table with a board game going on while parents could engage in conversation and still be supervising children. Hosts were extremely attentive, and were constantly checking to see if we needed anything. The pool tech stopped by for a midweek cleaning, and a local maintenance person came by to offer anything we needed. I felt very supported. It really was the perfect house for our family. The best elements of our stay were the privacy of the location while still being so close to everything we wanted to do, the layout of the house, and the responsiveness of the hosts. It was also sparkling clean and well-appointed, with plenty of plates/silverware and kitchen appliances (even a waffle iron). Checkout instructions were reasonable and easy to follow. Good memories for everyone.

• Best family vacation!!

  This house was perfect for our family of 9. Plenty of room for everyone and then some. Weather was a little cool for the adults but the kids loved the pool and then warmed up in the hot tub when done swimming. Basketball hoop and swingset was a big plus for kids ranging from 3-16. The Outdoor patio was where we spent the majority of our time when we were home enjoying the fire pit, making smores, eating meals and enjoying the quietness of the mountains. The house is perfectly located for all attractions, shopping, and quick trips to the grocery store. Beds were comfortable and house was extremely clean. Have no complaints at all. Would definitely stay again. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your house. Truly one of our best vacations and experiences.
