Peaceful Lakefront Apartment
This was my third stay at Sharon’s property, and it definitely will not be my last! The apartment is beautifully decorated and is stocked with all amenities you will need. It was spotlessly clean, organized and comfortable. The view is amazing and I couldn’t spend enough time on the porch reading, enjoying the view of the mountains, and enjoying the peace and tranquility. I highly recommend daily walks around the lake! Sharon and Anna are amazing hosts and provide fast communication if and when needed. When an unexpected storm rolled thru and the power went out temporarily, Sharon was quick to provide candles, flashlight, and battery pack for my phone. The bed is very comfy, and the stocked Nespresso machine is such an added bonus! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my stay and will be back next summer to enjoy it again!

Lake Life Upper Apt-2 min walk to Lk Junaluska ASM
I have stayed in Carolyn's units several times. She is a fantastic host and very responsive. The apartment had everything we needed for a week's stay. There are snacks too! We were at a conference with people dropping in for lunch so I particularly appreciated the extra table and chairs. I slept on the bed and sofa and both were comfortable. The lake view and access to the walking trail are perfect. The close proximity to Stuart Auditorium was a must for me. I highly recommend Carolyn's units and am already booked for next year.

Little River Escape in the Smokies!
Perfect on the river location! Comfortable bed! Best potato salad ever!

Thanks for hosting.

Endless Water Views - Walk to Town & AT!
A most beautiful view and such spacious lodging. I would sleep with the window open and fall asleep to the sound of the river. I was amazed to find out how much history was behind this property. Monisha has a book detailing history and places to go. We did go to the mineral bath which was a restorative experience. I appreciate Monisha advising us to book in advance. I highly recommend this property. A home away from home. 😊 Any questions I had Monisha promptly answered.

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
This is an amazing place!! Beautiful view, great place to sit outside, close walking path, quiet, comfortable and nicely furnished. It was just so perfect!! Fell in love with the apartment and Lake Junaluska. Cannot say enough about what an exceptional place this was!

“Majestic Memories” Lakefront and Smoky Mountain
The Host is great and very responsive and helpful. This is the 2nd time we have stayed at her property and would highly recommend it to have a family vacation here. The view is beautiful as well.

Creekside 1920's Farmhouse
For those seeking peace and serenity, thus is the place. There is plenty of outdoor activities in town with tubing, kayaking and fishing. Then you go to your place and jump in the hot tub. Beautiful, private and just as described.

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
The most stunning views in the smokeys, definitely will come back, great fire pit and outdoor spa, also parking is very accommodating for multiple cars or motorcycles.

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
We had a fantastic time! The house was clean and had tons of amenities and activities, especially for children. Shelly went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time and was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions we had. Excellent experience!

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.

*Riverfront* Pet Friendly near downtown Gatlinburg
We absolutely loved our stay! The place is privately located but within walking distance of downtown Gatlinburg. Every night my 2 year old wanted to go down to the river and play! :) We will totally be staying here again!

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.

By Peaceful River/ Mountains Views/ Pigeon Forge/
We found this absolute gem last minute. They let us check in after 10:30 pm. Extremely easy to communicate with. Quick response time. No complaints here. Hard to believe it was only a mile or so from the parkway in downtown pigeon forge. So quiet. Sat on the balcony and watched the river and animal life every morning and evening. The view of the mountains is beautiful. Perfect for our group of 8.

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
We stayed at Scott’s place and everything was excellent. The apartment was clean and well-maintained. Sleeping arrangements were also perfectly fine. There were dishes available. The location is very convenient—within walking distance of all the main attractions. Scott did everything he could to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Earplugs were also provided, as there are highways nearby and it can be quite noisy at night. Overall, we had a great time. If fate brings us back to Knoxville, we’ll definitely stay at Scott’s place again.

Condo On Little Pigeon River In DwTn Pigeon Forge
We had a great stay at Chris condo! Everything was super clean. Beds were comfy. Loved the location! There was a large balcony with nice seating. Easy to find even at midnight Lol. You have your own parking spot which I appreciate that! Would most definitely stay here again! Loved it! Thank you Chris for sharing your condo with us!! 🤗

Riverfront Condo close to all attractions.
Jackie's place was perfect for my family of three. My husband and I loved having a balcony facing the river attached to the bedroom, while my teenage son settled in comfortably in the sofa bed in the living room. The location was perfect. Very peaceful away from the busyness of the many attractions with a short drive to all the everything Pigeon Forge has to offer. Great recommendations for restaurants by Jackie with the Local Goat being our favorite for dinner. Applewood Farm House Restaurant is within walking distance and we highly recommend for breakfast! Check-in was easy, even though our code didn't work, I messaged Jackie and she was very responsive and had us in with a new code in minutes! Check out instructions were simple and clearly laid out in the notebook created with lots of helpful information. Definitely a great choice for a family visiting the area. We even saw a large group of Canadian Geese floating by on our last day!

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.
