I stayed here with my husband and kids (7 and 11) over spring break and we had a great time. The house is beautiful and there were thoughtful touches (e.g., a good amount and quality of plates/silverware/mugs/glasses, leftover containers, kids' plates) that are not always included in a rental. It was about a 20 min drive to Pigeon Forge and 35 to Gatlinburg. After visiting both places, we were happy that we stayed off the beaten path! For things to do, we drove Cades Cove and did the Abram Falls hike, went to the Pirate show, the Island, Wonderworks, and Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, and Anakeesta in Gatlinburg. I would recommend all of these things! I also recommend a visit to Peaceful Social brewery (about 10 min drive).
