Our favorite cabin rental by FAR!

This was the cleanest, nicest cabin we have stayed in. The view from the balcony was beautiful! The pictures online just didn’t do it justice. We have a 3 year old so cleanliness is most important and I just can’t get over how spotless it was. The beds were so comfy and nice as well. We really loved everything about this place and will def book again in the future.

Amazing View!

We absolutely loved this chalet! So much bigger and nicer in person than I was expecting. They made check in and check out super easy! Don’t forget to use the free concierge service for your free tickets. We forget the first day and paid full price. They give you 1 free adult ticket each day. We will be back:)

Mountain View Stay

What an amazing place to stay. The view is spectacular. Mornings treated us to valleys of mist and sunrises over the mountains. The evenings were spent in the hot tub gazing at the lights dotting the hills and the stars. The cabin was very clean and everything was well maintained. It met our expectations and more. You may here about the driveway being steep however it's far better than some of the other driveways we saw. If you have a lowrider and it's slammed to the ground you won't make it. A Honda HRV and Odyssey van made it with no issues. The hosts (a local property rental group) responded to our needs and everything was in place on our arrival. The only two first world problems we had were working the surround sound in the movie room (we didn't care and I was not going to let it stress me, the TV was great standing alone) and the pool table may have an extremely slight slope to the back of the house (I didn't have my level on me). Two extremely minor issues. I don't expect to know another houses stereo system like the back of my hand and I was definitely not involved in any professional pool table games there. All in all fun times were had all around. Thanks for building such a wonderful place and we will never forget it. Derrick and Kristi George Richmond, Virginia

Unbelievable view and stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! The view is unbelievable, the pictures of this house don’t do justice! If your even thinking about booking it, do it. You won’t be disappointed. The house had everything we needed to stay! The driveway is tight, we almost trailered our motorcycles and glad we didn’t because you can’t fit a trailer in the driveway! It’s a tight fit! It’s way up in the mountains and it’s gorgeous! So if your a motorcycle family, ride your bikes if you want to bring them! No complaints at all! Staff was super friendly and helpful! We loved it so much, we just booked it again! We saw lots of bears and one just a few feet from our house! The quality of everything in the house was perfect and super clean!! 10/10!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin was perfect for our family vacation! The view is spectacular and we loved being able to sit outside and take in the mountains. The house was clean and the furniture (which in some rentals is horrible) was in great shape. The theatre room was perfect for hanging out and watching movies! The pool was close and accessible and had an amazing view as well. It would be nice if the pool was not closed for an entire day for maintenance however, but that was the only downside. We will definitely be staying in this cabin or another Mt Laurel cabin in this area in the future!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay even though the weather did not cooperate. When it wasn't raining we enjoyed the view of the mountains and the sunsets/sunrises were beautiful. We were able to make great use of the hot tub, pool table, and home theater.The entrance to the driveway is little steep at the top, but the carport was a nice feature. Mountain Laurel staff were friendly and helpful as usual.

Literal Mountain View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was mine and my husband’s first time vacationing in Gatlinburg and in the mountains. The staff was very kind and responsive with booking. The views from the cabin are incredible. There are 2 large decks which provide amazing views of Mt. Lecont and the surrounding area. I probably could have just sat on the covered deck the whole time because it was so beautiful and peaceful. We loved the covered car port with the side door entry to the house. This was very convenient. The cabin itself was impeccably clean. There were bare necessities-paper towels, dish soap, laundry detergent etc, which was helpful. The bed was very comfortable, the couches seemed newer and were also comfortable. I cannot say enough about how happy we were with this cabin and look forward to coming again.

Amazing views!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gorgeous chalet starting from the beautiful yellow door you see when you first pull up. Nice layout, comfortable beds, roomy bathrooms. The decks were fantastic to sit outside and enjoy the view - a small table in between the rockers would have been nice to put a drink on. The big table was nice to have a meal on and enjoy the view. Absolutely loved the floor to ceiling windows and all the natural light! * Couple notes for others - there is only a small thin blanket provided on the bed, may want to bring an extra throw blanket, it gets cold (if you are there during cold months). The kitchen has the bare minimum on pans & anything you need to prepare meals. ML staff is fantastic and we will never stay elsewhere! Their properties are always nicely kept.

There was only one thin blanket on the bed. We actually went into town and bought a quilt. Management was very kind when we ask about it. (Linens have been minimalized since covid.) We will definitely stay here again! Miss that beautiful sunrise already!

The only downside is the driveway. It was not easy to get in and out due to the layout, but the carport was nice especially when it rained. We have been coming to the mountains for 25+ years always in the fall and have loved each and every visit. There is always something to do and new attractions every year. We love eating at the Peddler and Old Mill! Can't wait until fall 2022!!

Beautiful chalet with panoramic views of Mt. LeConte

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The chalet is new, the beds are very comfortable (for sore hikers), and the view is outstanding. Everything that is important to me in a Smoky Mountain rental was there, good deck furniture, hot tub, unobstructed view of Mt. LeConte and comfortable beds. This chalet is almost totally booked up until the end of the year--tells you something!
