Perfect getaway
Our stay was amazing. If you lo e nature and wildlife this is a perfect place. Seeing a bear was on our bucket list every time we come to Tennessee. This time not only did we see one we seen several!! 3-4 times a day we would see bears. It was absolutely amazing! Cabin was as described. The kids room was much bigger than it seemed in pictures. The fenced in deck was perfect for sitting outside at night also plenty of room to have lunch or supper out there. We enjoyed our stay and definitely will come back to stay here. We had 16 people and we had more than enough room a d accommodations

missing and replace
We had plumbing problems and a bathroom unusable all week. There was only a bit of salt there but the ad stated spices and such were included.
Skillets need to be replaced as they are totally scratched and stick terribly, and could be a bit larger. With a lot of people staying there making food is very hard with such little pans and pots. The garbage did not run on Tuesday. We were very excited with multiple bear viewings!

Family Christmas
The house was good no complaints about the house. It could use more oven mitts and measuring cups.

Family Thanksgiving Getaway
Second year doing a destination Thanksgiving in Gatlinburg. Cabin was wonderful, we really enjoyed our stay. We saw bears everyday right from the cabin, one was right at the front door one evening. One tried getting into vehicles so definitely keep cars locked. Our group was 14 (11 adults and 3 under 3) and we had plenty of room and sleeping arrangements.

Girl Trip
Overall experience was great!! Plenty of room for all 9 friends. Hot tub was excellent and we loved the large kitchen and plenty of bathrooms. A suggestion, owners might want to go behind the cleaning crew a few times to make sure they are doing all things they are suppose to. We would definitely stay again and appreciate the owners lending us their rental property for a few days

Christmas in the Smokeys
The property was as advertised and the rental process was a breeze. The owners were very easy to communicate with and when we had problems with the hot tub not working when we got there they were super responsive (had a guy there on the same day - Christmas Eve) to look at it.
The house needed some upkeep, there were holes in one of the doors down stairs, some broken tile by the fireplace, crack in the ceiling in the laundry room, hole in upstairs closet wall, and several faucets were loose. I am inclined to believe that this is largely due to the owners not having knowledge of the issues due to the experience I had with them when we had the hot tub problem.
Overall the house worked out great for the 14 of us that were there. Lots of room (we were never on top of each other), super convienient to town and attractions, and a great view. We saw bear tracks just up the street from the cabin too.
I will also say it had one thing we didnt even think of until we saw the other properties around it ... parking. We were able to confortably fit a 4-runner and 2 trucks in the driveway. All in all it was a wonderful time with the family, and the cabin was a perfect place to enjoy that time together.

GREAT property!
The home easily accommodated 12 of us and we couldn’t have been more pleased. There was a winter storm that hit and blessed us with 8” that put us without power and the owner checked on us multiple times. HIGHLY recommend!!!

Peaceful and Relaxing Family Vacaa
The check in process was very convenient. The property was nice with a great day and nighttime view of the mountains. The cabin was very spacious and accommodated our 16 people nicely. The children enjoyed the games and open space, bunkbeds went over well. The kitchen was nice and equipped with mostly anything we might have needed.
I would recommend Pappy's Hideaway as a great vacation stay choice!

Great cabin in the smokies
Cabin was very nice. Location was close to downtown Gatlingburg, Smoky Mountain National Park , Dolly Wood and Pigeon forge. The cabin was big enough for our whole family; my wife and I our children and grand children. We really enjoyed our time there.

Try it you’ll LOVE it!!
Our family had a wonderful Spring Break getaway at Pappy’s Hideaway. Great location, beautiful scenery, plenty of room and everything we needed. Loved having my morning coffee on the deck, enjoying God’s creations!
The hosts were quick to respond and very pleasant to deal with. We will definitely stay here again.
