MILLER FAMILY GETAWAY
Few suggestions: blinds or curtains are needed in rhe main family room. With the morning sun rising its tough in that room and heats up fast. Comfortable beds. Very small Kitchen. Not sure why you have to put up your dishes when you pay a 250 cleaning fee. Most places you just start the dishwasher. Not very pet friendly for pottying. Small little grassy area. Welcome package was a nice touch. One video game was broken but they offered to send someone to fix it. If you small children you might want to bring something to block the stairs, 2 sets. Hot tub was clean and nice. Overall a nice cabin. kitchen.

This property is a good value. Plenty of room for a large group and most of the amenities you will need. There were a lot of lights that did not work and some issues with the televisions but overall we enjoyed our stay and the property management was very kind and helpful. Just be prepared for the bears here. Keep your doors locked. They will put small scratches on your vehicles. If you leave it unlocked they will get inside. This is our second stay at this property and bears were bad both times - Enjoy!

Nice stay
The cabin was very nice. The sink in master leaked. We had alot of problems with the bears. We were unloading our truck and a bear came and opened the truck and got in. We also had a momma bear and cub come on the deck and got into our cooler. The experience was nice . We did sit by the fire but did in the afternoon because of the bears. Other then that great place to stay.

Overall nice, well kept, with plenty of things to do. Other than the fire pit, there is no flat ground anywhere near. Outdoor activities mostly required going elsewhere. The grandchildren loved the game room. The directions to get there a little too exciting. We found a different way that was much more friendly.

Amazing house with all the amenities you will need for all ages and interests. Great decor, hot tub, arcade game with over 60 games, pool table, fire pit, every appliance/kitchen need, great view of the mountains, quiet neighborhood, definitely clean when checking in. Parking can be a little tricky if you have more than 2 vehicles but it can be done. I definitely recommend this place for anyone trying to enjoy Gatlinburg and not having to worry about the accommodations of the house, They have it all!!!! If there are issues they are very responsive (within minutes) and very nice, professional and communicative. I’ll be back! Shelley is amazing!!!
