Awesome place to stay

Vonde M Artful Mountain Estate,

My husband and I had the best time staying here. We will definitely come back. The indoor pool and movie room was awesome! We enjoyed having that to come back to after long days in the park and downtown. The location was perfect. Only 5 min from gatlinburg strip and 5 min from the arts and craft community. So many bear sightings right on our road! We even saw one from the hot tub. Very cool experience. Very clean, and the communication was immediate with our host. 5 stars all around.

Mackenzie O Pelelo's Pool Retreat,

We had an amazing stay at Palelo's Pool Retreat, and I can't recommend it enough! The cabin is perfectly situated close to hiking trails, Anakeesta, and downtown Gatlinburg, making it easy to explore all the best attractions in the Smoky Mountains. The cabin itself was clean and well-maintained. It came equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was stocked with necessary utensils and cookware, and having a washer and dryer was incredibly convenient. The kids loved the bunk beds and the free-standing arcade games. One of the highlights was definitely the pool and hot tub. After a long day of hiking and exploring, it was so nice to unwind and relax. Communication with our host, Gilbert, was smooth and straightforward, and we had no issues during our stay. Overall, we were a party of four, and everyone felt comfortable and at home. I would highly recommend Palelo's Pool Retreat for anyone looking for a perfect getaway in the Smoky Mountains.

Aaron C Pelelo's Pool Retreat,
