Beautiful views!
We enjoyed the stay it was beautiful! Very clean and quiet. Only thing is the ride up to the condo was just a little intense , which is expected it is on top of a mountain. But overall we loved it. We had seen one bear and the snow is beautiful in the mountains. Loved it!

Our experience was nice! The area was quite and the views amazing. Just make sure you rent a car. No Uber or Lyft will go up there. This rental is literally the top of the mountain.

Great getaway
Nice cozy condo in the mountains. The road up to the condo is interesting to say the least. But it’s to be excepted. The place was very clean. Only complaint was the bed is very soft due to a foam pad on the mattress.

Quiet, Serene Getaway
This condo was perfect for a quick refreshing getaway to the mountains. The condo patio faces the roadway however the property is walkable and there are magnificent views of the mountains from benches behind a couple of the buildings. Wonderful places for morning coffee. Around the property there are picnic tables and grills. The property was quiet and safe. Travel up the mountain was easy. Wiley Oakly is your best route as far as a connecting road. Upper and Lower Alpine is ok but of you're worried about mountain travel these can get tight. It was a perfect location to head to anywhwre in Gatlinburg with a snap of your fingers and got you going right up to Clingman's Dome and the trails so fast. I absolutely would return here again whenever I need another breather. The condo has laundry down the exterior hallway.. and everything you need. It was superclean and the furnishings were all super comfortable. This is a great place to getaway!Thank you so much! so c

Wonderful experience
This property is exactly as described. It is at the top of the mountain and we enjoyed the winding roads to reach it. We saw six bear all in the vicinity of the condo. It is located near Pigeon Forge, the Smoky mountains park and close to North Carolina. There is so much to do in this area.

The condo was very nice and clean the only think I didn’t like was the drive up, the drop off the side of the roads with no guard rail but that’s not on the rental company

Overall a good experience.
We had a great time here. Didn't actually spend a lot of time here, just a landing place for nights. Condo is older but very well kept and clean. We didn't quite have the views out our windows as expected but wasn't a deal breaker for us. Some of the rooms here would have fantastic views. Overall a great experience.

AMAZING
We randomly decided to go on a short vacation. My husband and I brought our girls ages 14 and 10. The property was perfect. The property manager, Gigi, made our time even better. Gave us helpful tips daily including ideas of what to do and cheapest options. The condo we had was a one bedroom. It had a futon in the livingroom the girls used. This futon was the nicest futon I've ever seen. They were very comfortable the whole stay. We will be back again.

I loved this little place on top of the mountain. The view was nice! We actually lost power for awhile because of storms, but the town offered lots to do until it was fixed! We will be back!

Great condo!
This condo is very nice and had everything we needed. It sits at the top of a mountain so they view is nice but the road is curvy and steep. The day we arrived it snowed which concerned us but the road was clear the entire time we were there. Gigi was very communicative and answered our texts quickly. We definitely would visit this property again but maybe not during a snowstorm.
