Bronco off roadeo
We stayed here so we could go to the Bronco off roadeo, it was about a 40 min beautiful drive! This house was comfortable and large we had 4 couples all had their own king size bed with an ensuit bathroom, this was so great!! Two things that did disappoint but not enough to mark the property down the pillows are large fat uncomfortable foam pillows in many of the rooms and we could not get the ice machine to work,other than these two issues this house is great was very happy as to how clean it was and the couch in the living room made us all feel comfortable and we could all hang out together thank you for a great stay!

A great house on the quieter side of the the smoky mountains park area. Plenty of space for 12 (6 adults + 6 kids). The host was close by and offered good suggestions.

Great place
Overall a great place to stay with the family.we had a fantastic time at the cabin and lots to do all around, but the only dissatisfaction i had with the place is that they stated they had a charcoal grill and its acually a gas grill turned into a carcoal grill with no temperature control so it ended up overcooking the food and burning it.

Awesome family gathering cabin!
We had 8 adults and 9 grandchildren from 1 year to 7 years old When our 7 old grandson toured the cabin and saw the miniature golf , air hockey, pool table , and PAC Man he said “Grandma picked the perfect cabin !” It was secluded yet with easy access to Townsend and the Smoky Mountains. Highly recommend!

Large House
A large, spacious house that has a lot of privacy. It's a great location. The pictures do not do it justice. The fireplace in the great room is wonderful!!! We could have used some blankets as the weather is getting chillier.

The house and area are amazing. Perfect for family reunions. The game room is out of this world. The owner was quick to respond for several reasons. Thank you.

Beautiful Property - the only thing I seen was that the Kitchen needed to be bigger. It was a challenge to cook for 20 people but we managed. Would recommend for anyone with a large family group to go on vacation together.

Fantastic Property
This house was a perfect place for our family to spend a long weekend together. The place was large with plenty of room for everybody to sleep. Everything was laid out nicely. The game room and the miniature golf on the lower deck kept all ages entertained. There was more than enough parking available. We also enjoyed cooking out in the deck on the charcoal grill as well as in the kitchen. We definitely would stay here again.

Great place. Host not responsive.
Great place to stay, clean, well-kept, the games are nice to have for everyone. We accidentally left my daughter’s beloved blanket and an expensive pillow. We sent a message to the host (the only messages we sent during our stay), the host replied and then we heard nothing back and still have no answer or items. We did offer to pay to have them sent as well as the convenience fee for their trouble.

Had friends and family. We all had a blast with everyone having there on space. Place was amazing. 10 am check out was tough but we made it work. The only thing was in the description it made it sound like the river access was on the property but its a good walk to get to it. Would love to stay there again

Great description of property and details for navigating the GPS directions. House had nice details like comfortable sheets and mattresses. It would have been helpful to know that we had access to stores so close in description and to maybe mention how busy the river can become with tubers. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed the property very much!

family vacation in Townsend Tn
Great week spent with 3 generations of our family. Many wonderful activities in Townsend Tn. area. Our rental home was well equipped and supplied with all we needed for a fun filled week. Comfortable beds & private baths for each bedroom. Game room & games were a big hit. Loved being able to walk to the Little river for tubing. We will be back!

Enough room for big family
With a big family some time its hard to find a rental with enough room for everyone. This home had comfy beds with each couple having thier own bathroom. There was plenty of seating at the dinner tables that we could all sit together. We all enjoyed sipping our coffee in the mornings on the porch in cozy rocking chairs.

Verified traveller

Annual family lake trip
There are 13 of us ranging in ages 2 to 75, so finding a place large enough to comfortably accommodate us is not always easy. The size of this house was perfect along with its proximity to the river and other nearby activities. The children appreciated the golf and games in the basement. And of course, the goats and the peacocks. The weather was perfect during our visit and we all left with happy memories. Thank you!

Family Christmas
Everything was perfect. Everything we could imagine was provided from baby gates to a high hair to a crib and every cooking utensil we needed. Out stay was perfect even if the snow started it out crazy. Our host were great and we’re so helpful and Accommodating. There was plenty of room the kids to spread out and play while the adults could sit around and talk. I highly recommend and will be booking with them again.
