Lake Life Upper Apt-2 min walk to Lk Junaluska ASM
This is my second time staying at this fantastic spot, and it was just as great as the first. They are wonderful hosts, the place is a real hidden gem, and the community has so much to offer. It certainly won't be my last time here!

Little River Escape in the Smokies!
The place was beautiful and clean and all the my toddler and I needed. He loved steeping into the River outside the INN. We watched Blippi, handyman Hal and Katie’s Classroom inside the pub connected to where we stayed. Everyone was friendly and it’s bike friendly. We rode the 11mile Cades Cove loop on bike and we went to Tuckaleechee Caverns and it was truly a magical stay and media Teton for us.

Lake Hair Don't Care @ Lakeside
This is my favorite airbnb we have stayed in so far!! So peaceful and the room and view was amazing. Was a great place for a mental reset. We will definitely be staying here again.

Thanks for hosting.

Endless Water Views - Walk to Town & AT!
We had a wonderful stay at Monisha's place! The views from the window and deck were gorgeous! The house was very cozy and clean. Monisha is a great host and we hope to come back again!

Cozy condo with amazing view!
We loved our stay at Myriah's cozy little condo on the river. Being able to sit on the balcony in the mornings with our coffe and watch all the wildlife like geese, herons, ducks, and even a beaver made for a great start to our day. The location was great, off the parkway, but still close to shopping, dining, and entertainment. We would definitely stay again. Myriah was easy to communicate with and was very hospitable.

Casa Paz: Creekside Oasis in the Smoky Mountains
My husband and I were so happy with our stay at Judy and Maria’s tranquil home. Everything from the creek to the hot tub and relaxing living space were perfect. My husband enjoyed fishing in such a great spot, and I enjoyed watching the ducks with their little ducklings, and the hummingbirds that visited often. 😊 We spent plenty of time relaxing, but also enjoyed the close proximity to good restaurants and shopping, and hiking. Casa Paz is in such a convenient and beautiful location. For good food we recommend Chef’s Table and Haywood Smokehouse in Waynesville, and Twisted Spoke in Maggie Valley. The place was very easy to find and Judy and Maria were very responsive with any question we had while we were there. Highly recommend a stay here!!

Lakeside Joy-Magical Views, Peaceful Escape
We loved our stay. It was so cozy and I loved the view of the lake right at the door. Such a wonderful area to rest. I liked staying here better than the Terrace. Mainly we had our privacy with separate bedrooms. Just a great time plus we loved the Sunrise on both days.

“Majestic Memories” Lakefront and Smoky Mountain
The home is absolutely beautiful— so perfect for celebrating my daughter's graduation. Michelle was amazing and truly went above and beyond to make our stay special. She even surprised us with a few graduation items to help us celebrate, which was such a thoughtful touch. The view of the lake was incredible and made the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Creekside 1920's Farmhouse
We immediately felt at home at Gina’s farmhouse. Very peaceful, clean and well stocked. Loved the covered bridge and creek. The beds were very comfortable. The house is close to town but feels private. Gina left easy directions to the property and lots of recommendations for things to do. We are already planning our next trip!

Easy Life on the East Fork - Come Explore!
River river river!! Amy's pictures do not do it justice. By far the best part of the stay. The flow of the river starts the day off great and provides a soothing sound to end the day. Amy was on top of it, whether it was providing recommendations, or being available with extra water cause a dumb dumb ran into the power pole. The surrounding area was far away enough from the city, but yet so close that the drives to each little town wasn't too far. Amy was kind enough to leave us snacks and cute little personalized messages around the house that provided just the extra boost to our confidence that it would be a great stay. The house had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. Amy's place was perfect for my wife and I, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Creek Side Mountain Retreat
This was a lovely place and exactly what I wanted!! The dog door and fenced in area was enough to convince my boyfriend that he needs to install one at his place. The view on the deck was incredibly peaceful! John was super friendly and helped with anything we needed. I worked “remotely” while I was there and no issues with the Wi-Fi! There were lots of nice little touches in the house and the bed was comfortable. Thank you!

Amazing View! Smoky Mountains Pet Friendly Hikers
Absolutely beautiful place, Frank was very accommodating and helpful with all our needs! Couldn’t have chose a better place to stay!

Unique Barn on an organic farm
This place is heaven on earth. So idyllic, quiet, lots of hiking. The house itself is cozy and well stocked. Kevin and Linda are wonderful hosts.

Luxury Lakefront Home with Pavilion and Loft
Can’t explain how great Shelly was and how perfect the house was for us! Shelly goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and is the biggest help! We had an amazing time and I’m sure we will be back sometime! 😊

River Front- 1 mile to Parkway- No Steep Roads
Absolutely LOVED the river and the beautiful sounds of the rippling rocks. The only downfall was the fact that neither the windows or the doors were screened so that you could hear it from inside the house. The reason I booked this is so I could open a window or door at night to hear it. Loved the back deck, it was so relaxing. Neighborhood was very nice and easy to get to. The path along the river was very short, but provided great access to the river. If you like the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge, this location is great. If you don’t, there are alternate routes that feature amazing scenery. Overall, this place was very nice and very responsive.

Pool’s Open at Down by the Creekside!
What a wonderful condo and perfect location! We absolutely loved the charm and amount of space in this condo, and the convenience couldn’t be better—just a quick 3–4 minute walk to downtown Gatlinburg, yet peaceful and quiet at night. One of our favorite things was relaxing on the wraparound deck with a cup of coffee from the fully stocked coffee bar, while listening to the soothing sounds of the river flowing nearby. The beds were comfortable, and the linens were clean and fresh, making for a restful stay. Fun tip: If you turn right out of the parking lot and take a drive behind the river through the mountain neighborhoods, keep your eyes open—we spotted five bears in under an hour! Thanks so much for a great stay! We highly recommend!

*Riverfront* Pet Friendly near downtown Gatlinburg
We had a great stay at Chuck’s place. It was exactly as described and it was so nice to hear the river that’s literally out the door! Location was perfect as it was right in the center of town and we were able to walk to all the shops and restaurants. Just a few minutes drive from Great Smoky Mountains NP. The only negative thing I can say is that the bathroom and towels had a bit of a musty smell to them. Overall would recommend!

Soothing Creekside Sounds
The condo was absolutely perfect. It looked just like the pictures. It was very clean. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay again.

Thank you, beautiful place and very clean!

River Dreams- Serene Retreat
We couldn't have asked for it to be any better, everything was clean and tidy, no dust in the corners, no funky smells, no carpet and that is definitely a plus for me. I did not have to contact our host for anything, instructions were clear before we left home, we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay again

Trendy Spot on Hill near UT/Downtown/KBed & QSofa
Nice apartment in a vibrant historic part of town.. lots of shops, restaurants, taverns & government buildings. Quite a find!

Riverfront Condo close to all attractions.
We sat on the balcony every morning and enjoyed the beautiful peaceful river view. Very comfortable and clean home with everything you need. Jackie was very helpful and accessible. Convenient location. Definitely recommend this condo.

Treetops Resort Gatlinburg 2Bd2B Condo. SATURDAY
I only stayed for two nights and with the amount of activities I was doing with my kids, I didn't get to use the kitchen nor even walk around the property. I do regret that part because the view from my balcony showed the running creek. Upon check-in and inquiring about fishing, the front desk explained that it is stocked with trout every Thursday. The place was clean and quiet. The only thing that bothered me was the scent from the airplug which upon finding I removed. I just didn't care for that particular scent. Overall, it was a good price for the two nights and there were no surprise fees. It is just outside the strip in Gatlinburg but will still need a car to visit the strip unless you don't mind walking about 30 to 40 mins. Do yourself a favor and do not eat the pancakes at FlapJacks Pancake Cabin down the street. My kids complained about the taste of the pancakes and asked why the buttermilk ones tasted salty.
