It was an amazing place to stay and the kids loved it, will definitely be staying here again.

First, I would like to thank the host for their attention and for taking the situation seriously when we reported our concerns. During our stay, both my daughter and I developed red, itchy bites on our bodies. After reading previous reviews mentioning similar experiences, we suspected they might have been caused by bed bugs. This had a significant negative impact on our stay. When I informed the host, they said they would immediately contact a pest control company. I was later told that the inspection report had been shared with Airbnb and that no bed bugs were found. However, the report was never shared with me, so I had no way to review it myself. For that reason, I was not fully convinced by the outcome. At the time, because of the stress of the situation, it did not occur to us to inspect the bed and mattress thoroughly ourselves. This was our personal experience. I hope future guests do not have a similar experience, and I recommend checking the bed and mattress carefully upon

My family had a great Fourth of July weekend here. Centrally located to everything, the amenities were great and we just loved the whole cabin. Wish we could have stayed longer. The only suggestion I would have is maybe get some foam toppers for the mattresses and some better pillows. The pillows were like plastic hospital ones and the mattresses were all very uncomfortable. The bunk bed room you could feel the wood through the mattress and the one suite on the left it was more of a cot than a mattress. Could feel the springs through it. Also the chemicals in the pool and hot tub seemed off. Very slimy in Both but we didn’t let it ruin our time. They were both still very well used. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

We had a wonderful stay! The cabin was very clean and well-maintained, and everything was exactly as described. The indoor pool was a huge hit, the game room provided hours of fun, and the movie theater was an awesome bonus for relaxing in the evenings. The scenery was beautiful, and we loved the location. The drive up the hill was easy and not nearly as steep as some cabins in the area. It was also conveniently located just minutes from all the great attractions, restaurants, and shopping in Pigeon Forge while still feeling peaceful and secluded. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, clean, and relaxing getaway!

We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely come back. The cabin was spotless, well maintained, and looked exactly like the photos, if anything, even better in person. What stood out most was how comfortable and thoughtfully designed everything was. We felt relaxed from the moment we arrived. We especially loved the hammocks by the lanai, the large grill, the upstairs outdoor dining area, and all the games and arcade options for the kids. The cabin was spacious, the beds and bedding were very comfortable, and having a washer, dryer, dishwasher, and a well-stocked kitchen made everything easy. One of the highlights of our trip was seeing three black bears and watching fireflies in the evenings. The setting was peaceful and private, yet it was easy to get to all the attractions and activities in the Smokies. Both the kids and adults loved staying here. We made wonderful family memories, and if we return to the Smoky Mountains, this is where we would want to stay again.

The photos honestly don’t do this place justice. It was very beautiful and fun. We were 2 families with a total of 3 little ones and they enjoyed the arcade a lot and we enjoyed barbecuing on the back porch. We saw a black bear twice which was exiting for us as we come from south fl and aren’t used to seeing them at all. Sandia was also very responsive and willing to help with anything we needed. We would all stay here again and recommend anyone with big families to stay here as well!

Great place to stay. The firepit and pool was great. Deck on top floor was a nice place for morning coffee or drinks at night. Only issue was we could not get in until 5 pm instead of 4, due to cleaning people running behind. The road to cabin is very winding and steep in areas and only 1 lane. Would stay again.

We had a good stay, but there are a few details future guests might want to consider. The game room could use a bit more attention, particularly the pool table and sticks, which are showing some wear and tear. Also, if you have a larger group like ours (11 adults), sharing 3 bathrooms can feel a bit tight, so just keep that in mind when booking. Lastly, be aware that smoking is restricted on the deck, which was a new policy for us compared to other rentals we’ve stayed at.

Grandchildren loved how close we were to attractions and dinner shows, along with pool when we got back early enough. Due to weather we weren't able to try fire pit outside.

Our family of five loved this location. From the hot tub to the inside pool, to the arcade games, pool table and movie theater room, we all were fully entertained. Plenty of space and comfort to spread out and chill as well. Be prepared for the steeeeeeep drive to reach the home. Once arrived, there is ample space to park and unload. A racoon visited us one evening and was not afraid at all. And a black bear roamed the back yard one early morning which we were thrilled to see from the top deck. Only complaints are the A/C rattled the vents a bit in a couple bedrooms and the wi-fi didn't seem to be very secure so use at your own discression. Host was wonderful — very friendly and quick to respond. Highly recommend this location for a home base when traveling to the Smokey Mountains.

This place was wonderful. The road to the cabin is steep and has some sharp curves but it is a mountain cabin so that was to be expected. There is only one neighboring cabin and it was far enough away for privacy. The property is surrounded by woods so prepare to see plenty of squirrels and raccoons (aka porch kitties). The pictures do make it seem bigger than what it is but the amenities and amazing condition of the property more than make up for it! Plenty of seating, plenty of activities, fans in every room, high chair provided- just wow. We would definitely stay here again. If you’re looking to get away- this is the place. The hammock chairs on the back deck are also phenomenal. So peaceful.

Great location, very nice place just a few minor things. Beds upstairs are very hard so if you don’t like that you may want to take that into consideration. I got no sleep. The hot tub water seemed oily. Beautiful place though so if you don’t mind a firmer mattress I highly recommend. The kids play area and the pool are great.

Such an awesome cabin!!! Spent 5 nights here. Loved the convenience of everything being around 10min from the cabin and all the fun things to do at the cabin! We also seen a bear in the backyard which was super cool! The host was very nice. We accidentally dropped the water reservoir for the coffee maker and it broke, I immediately messaged the host and offered to pay for another but she told me that wasn’t necessary and that she would get a new one and not to worry about it! Only thing I could say that needs to be cleaned would be the dust, especially in the bunk room downstairs. The walls were covered and you could see it floating everywhere in the air and a few of the chairs on the porches were broke. But other than that, I’d highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

This house was AMAZING and the pictures didn’t do it justice at all!!! The home had everything you could think and we loved the drive up the mountain. The scenery was great and it was so peaceful. We took advantage of all the amenities and we constantly fought over sitting in the hammocks. We would definitely stay here again!!

The place was wonderful. Like the previous reviews state , it is a hike up the mountain. But it’s doable and you get used to it. Love that it’s private without feeling isolated. Close to lots of attractions. Kids loved the bunk beds , the game room, and the theater! Obsessed with the pool and the hot tub. This place has everything you need and also a friendly neighborhood raccoon 🤣

Absolutely loved the location and the cabin. We could have just stayed at the cabin with everything to do, but did drive to Gatlinburg which was not too far of a drive. I do recommend getting there during daylight hours because the road to the cabin is a one lane and is a steep road up the mountain. Overall, we had the best time at this cabin and made some great memories!

Great place for a family vacation! Our children from a toddler to teens loved this cabin. The pool & theater room were big hits for all! We enjoyed the location, felt like a cabin away from things, yet still easy access to all the things you need & would want to do. Sandia was an excellent host & quickly responded to questions, providing information about the area. We would certainly visit again!

Getting into the cabin was incredibly easy, which we really appreciated after traveling. The space was much larger and more open than we expected from the photos — a very pleasant surprise. Sandia was so kind and attentive, answering questions before we even had to ask. Traveling with a baby, we were especially grateful for the thoughtful extras like the high chair and baby gate, which made our stay so much easier and more comfortable. The location in Wears Valley was absolutely perfect — peaceful, convenient, and beautiful. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

This place was amazing. Great for our family getaway. The kids loved the arcade, the movie room, and the bunk bed room was better than expected with full size beds. Both master suites upstairs with open layout was perfect for relaxing and allowing the 7 of us to enjoy family time with plenty of space ! Great view. Great place for kids with room outside to enjoy as well. Can’t say enough about this place and it was hard to leave behind without wondering how soon we can return!

It really is a very cool property and would be a nice space to host a big family or a girls weekend. I would recommend and would return with a few thoughts. I would suggest checking in right at 4pm before it gets dark to see the road - I would also suggest 4wd. We checked in when it was already dark and that was terrifying. Bring a baby gate if you have a toddler for the stairs. The game room and media room were extremely entertaining for the kiddos and they enjoyed the built in bunkbeds with larger mattresses.

We had a fantastic stay! The cabin was cozy, clean, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were absolute champs. Especially considering that the guests before us apparently decided that toilets are some kind of magical portal where anything can be flushed. (Spoiler: they are not. Tampons and baby wipes do NOT teleport to another dimension. They go… exactly where you think.) Because of those previous overachievers in plumbing misuse, we had a small hiccup with the septic system. The hosts handled it with superhuman speed, during a holiday week, no less. Truly heroic. Everything else was great: comfy bed, charming location, excellent amenities, and easy check-in. A quick PSA for future guests: Firewood’s there, but it’s not free. Spices are MIA, and there are zero leftover containers. Also, the dryer has commitment issues… it takes a few cycles to get the job done. Overall, five stars. Wonderful hosts, wonderful place, and we promise we treated the toilet with

everything about the place and stay was fantastic. only issues I would say I had was that the pool, even though at normal temps, simply was too cold to enjoy. only other issue I had was the drive up to it as it was raining and somewhat slick on the one lane road. other than that the stay was great and definitely would recommend to others.

Just a heads up, the hill leading up to Sandias place is very steep, but well worth the drive. When we first arrived, cleaners were still there from the previous visit, looked like they had a party. The place was still meticulously clean. The back door for the deck wasn’t working correctly anymore, so we couldn’t use it. Same with the electric fireplace in the living room. However, Sandia perfectly managed my concerns and had local repairmen out to fix the issues within 24 hours. She was clear in her communication and always responded in a timely manner. The issues were annoying, but I don’t blame sandia I blame the previous guests. She did a fantastic job of taking care of us. The hammock swings were so comfortable I even ordered some for my own home. I will most definitely be staying here again.

Host did her best to recover a terrible start to our vacation. Cabin had not been cleaned at all prior to our arrival. We had to watch a lady come and do a rush cleaning job and wait for two hours before we could start our vacation. The host did try to make up for the inconvenience, but at check out, we felt as though we were being rushed out by the cleaners that were waiting for us to leave 15 minutes before check out. If they had put that much effort into cleaning BEFORE we arrived and not taken up two additional hours of my family’s vacation, the cleaners early arrival wouldn’t have been so annoying. Nice cabin, host tried to recover, maybe you’ll have a better experience.

This cabin has a swimming pool, movie theater, hot tub, pool table, arcade games, firepit, hammock chairs.... there is something for everyone! On top of that, the cabin is beautiful inside and out! It is private and peaceful and only about 10-15 minutes from town. We can't wait to stay again!

The house is very nice and well-maintained. Prior to check-in, Sandia sent me a message with check-in instructions as well as list of amenities provided. Upon check-in, I sent her a message regarding a specific amenity that we could not be locate and also requested instructions on ice maker as it was not producing ice. She was extremely condescending in her responses . She actually told me to look in the freezer. She sent me a picture and indicated the ice bin was full and then quickly withdrew the photo after she realized the bin was in fact empty in the photo. She made a very small issue into something more than it needed to be. She was not a good host.

Great stay! The place was exactly as pictured. The pool, theater, and game room was a huge hit. The kids loved the bunk room. So much to do on the property itself that it made it tough to want to leave and explore the town. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, great water pressure in the showers, and plenty of towels for our group of 7. Sandia was very helpful and responsive. The drive up to the property from the main road was intimidating but worth it. Highly recommend this place!!!

I would not recommend this property until some key items listed were addressed immediately by the owner. First Context: Vacationing with 5 grandchildren 11 and under. So a pool was a highlight. First thing, getting in contact with anyone was virtually impossible, I tried responding to the reservation emails, received no response, I used the "Welcome" book to call an individual listed only for them to say they haven't been contracted with the property owner in quite some time. I only was able to get in touch with the owner as I had the phone number they reached out to me on before my reservation started. My son is a certified pool technician and I have previously owned and maintained an inground pool. 1. The swimming pool: Upon arrival, we notice the pool had an oil film across the water surface and dirt in the bottom of the pool. The pool equipment closet was open and the key broken off in the lock and the broken part lying on the floor. There was a party balloon sucked to the AC unit in the room. There is an electric neon sign within the pool area and whose electrical cord is passed through a hole drilled through one of the pool equipment closet door, not sure if a GFCI circuit or not. I called the owner to be told to "ignore" the key and balloon. I was told the pool was "Clean and Safe" and they sent me a picture taken from June 30th of an individual with a skimmer net in hand, my reservation was from July 2nd. We are now texting and I am sending pictures of my findings. Day one: I was then told the pool company was in route to service the pool but delayed, I thought it was clean and safe? They arrived sometime between 7-9 pm that day. The next day we decided to buy pool chemical test strips and test the water. THE WATER SHOWED NO CHOLORINE, "Clean and Safe" I was told. I texted the owner back only to be texted, and I quote: "I don't know what test kit you are using but I spoke to my pool team again. In spite of being July 4th they are going to come there tomorrow between 9-10a.m." This time we met with the pool team and was told by this team that they told the owner several times that the auto-chlorinate system was broken but hasn't been given the ok to fix it. The pool team tested the pool and their test indicated NO CHLORINE. They shocked to pool again and left and after several hours we tested and still no measurable chlorine. Needless to say we didn't get to use the pool and being told the pool was clean and safe was not true. 2. The kitchen doesn't have many cooking supplies, spatulas and things. choice was sparse. We only found two frying pans both which needed to be replaced. Knives are dull. 3. Air duct registers in the main room ceiling have visible dust clinging to them, very nasty looking. 4. Back porch pendant lights didn't work, or we couldn't figure out how to turn them on as they were plugged in to an outlet. 5. asking for and early check-in will cost you $20 per extra hour early you request. Even if no one else has checked-out that morning, where's the southern hospitality! 6. The ceiling fan in the back right bedroom has one blade a different color. 7. In the summer there is no to 5% mountain view. 8. One of the rocking chairs has a broken arm rest, still attached, but leaves a sharp point. As you can see this cabin is expensive and I would look for something else. I hope Hospitable's CEO responds to our Facebook post requesting refunding some or all of our expense and I hope Hospitable take time to review this property. We did finish our stay and enjoyed the memories we made.

Everything was just as described. Kids loved the pool and game room. It was spacious and private there couldn’t have been a better pick for our vacation. There drive up was a climb but it was all paved road so there weren’t any issues accessing the cabin. We will definitely be back to this location. Sandia is an incredible host always quick to answer any questions or concerns we had.

Sandia was a great host. I couldn’t have asked for better. She was super responsive and even checked in with us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. The cabin was absolutely stunning. The location was hidden away for maximum relaxation but close to literally every where you could want to go. The cabin was spotless and had everything we could need! My kids did not want to leave and said this was the best vacation ever! I highly recommend this cabin and will be coming back!

house was great well taken care of with plenty to do much better in person than the pictures only down side was no heads up about the real steep hills you have to drive up to get to the cabin. all the main roads to it were good just once you're off the highway and going down the ,5 mil lane to the cabin it was a washed out gravel road.(I know that's out of her control and they did get rain storms prior to our arrival)but it was washed out bad and real sketchy. but once you get past that it's a steeeeep climb and only one lane so if you meet another vehicle going opposite direction better hope it's somewhere near someones driveway so one can pull off out the way. the propane for the grill was empty and we were told that's only offered as a complimentary thing and that if we wanted to go get a full one we can give the receipt and be reimbursed for it.

We had a great stay! The house is spacious, well-decorated, and very comfortable. The pool was the perfect temperature and a nice size for a smaller pool. The movie theater and arcade room were a lot of fun, and the hot tub was a great way to relax. Water pressure and house temperature were just right. The location is very convenient to everything in Pigeon Forge, yet it's in a quiet area. The drive up the narrow mountain road was no problem at all—we had no issues going up and down. The multiple decks were a nice place to sit and enjoy the fresh air. The grill was large and worked well, and the fire pit with wood provided was a nice touch. The house was well-stocked with plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets. The beds were comfortable, and the large room with built-in beds was perfect for kids—so cute and well thought out. All three bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The house is comfortable, convenient, and has everything you need for

We had an amazing stay at this cabin! It was spotless, modern, and beautifully updated. One of the highlights was spotting a bear from the back deck—such a cool experience! The cabin felt very safe and secure, and we loved that it was close to everything while still tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The drive up the mountain was a little intimidating at first, but after doing it once or twice, it felt totally manageable—and absolutely worth it to truly be in the mountains rather than just near them. The pool and hot tub were great bonuses, and the place looked exactly as described. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the swings on the lower deck. The kids had a blast in the theater room, and the game room was a hit with everyone. Highly recommend this place for a peaceful, fun, and memorable getaway!

We enjoyed our stay here. It would have been good to know that the kids bunk area was on a separate floor from master, but we were able to make it work. Pool area has separate door lock with code so knowing there was extra protection was good. Check in and out was easy. Place was clean and stocked well with towels as well as kitchen needs. There are a couple homes all clumped together there but it was very quiet and scenery was beautiful. Located within short driving distance to so many great places. Kids really enjoyed the pool, theatre room, and all the arcade games. I enjoyed sitting on the lower porch in the swings. We had some issues with the tvs not having sound or remotes not having batteries but that wasn’t a big deal - didn’t bother reaching out as we were occupied with other activities and decreasing screen time. Host checked in frequently and when I reached out regarding thermostat need she was responsive. We enjoyed our trip and would consider staying again!

My family traveled to Tennessee during my children’s spring break. My kids were very excited to stay at Sandi’s home specifically for the pool and arcade room. The home was clean and the pool was room temperature. There were toys, floats and towels provided. During our stay we were very comfortable and enjoyed ourselves. For families with children under the age of 9, the bunk beds are on the bottom floor and the masters are on the top level. With younger children, I didn’t feel comfortable with my children being downstairs. Other than that, a nice place to stay. However, I do need to mention the drive to Sandi’s house was rough. You start off on gravel and then go up a narrow steep hill. We were a little nervous about going up and down the road, therefore; we ensured after every activity for the day we arrived back home before the sunset. Additionally, if you decide to use the fire pit at night; there is no lightning on the side of the house. The backyard gets really dark.

Sandia was a great hosts. We had issues not being able to come up the mountain because unfortunately did not have four wheel drive. However, we made it up by other means. The day of check out we were snowed in but Sandia assisted with allocating more time in order for my family and I to check out. She even offered one of her employees to take us down. Great hospitality and beautiful cabin.

The house was cute and clean. The heated pool wasn’t heated when we used it the first day, messaged Sandia about it and she wanted to charge us for her techs to come check it out. The pool finally started to get ‘warm’ the last night of our stay; the kitchen sink would clog when washing the dishes, the garbage disposal didn’t work. We were limited on towels for the amount of adults and children in our group; there was an electrical box outside that was opened that didn’t look safe.

If you are having second thoughts of booking this property just go ahead and do it!!!! It’s just as described in the listing has everything that is listed. The heated indoor pool was a hit for our kids as well as the arcade. Didn’t have much time to use the theater but would have used it if we had booked it for more time. Pictures don’t do this place justice.

We traveled with a large group and we all had a great time, especially the kids with all the entertainment in the basement. The property was incredible and Sandia was very responsive. To top it all off, we left behind an expensive necklace and Sandia quickly found it and send it back to us, at no cost to us. Highly recommend!

Pros- The home matches the photos. Easy check in/check out. Heated indoor pool/outdoor hot tub. Kitchen appliances worked. We had groceries/ essentials delivered by Kroger and Walmart without any issues. Sandia is responsive. Cons- For the cost, I expected better. Arcade machine not working (host was aware, but failed to communicate that prior to arrival). Beds were partly made- we had to put pillow cases and blankets on. Wash cloths had holes in them, and we were provided minimum number of towels/wash cloths for a family of 5. Had to launder them in order to have clean ones during our 4 night stay. We did not use the outdoor grill- it was leaning and dirty.

We loved the Sapphire Retreat! The house was beautiful, clean, well appointed and kept us busy with all the entertainment options! The kids loved the pool and arcade room! We had to drag them out to explore the mountains! The house is exactly as described and Sandia was responsive and helpful whenever we had a question. Even accommodating our last minute booking due to our original reservation being canceled 3 hours before check in! And allowing us to extend our trip by a day to avoid having to drive through a storm. We will definitely be back!

Hi, we truly enjoyed this property and the priceless memories we created as a family, Sandia was responsive and acted quickly when we realized a bear had ripped up the spa cover. She had maintenance there within a hour, the cabin was modern beautiful and very comfy, a few minor details that would have been nice to know is the ice maker was broke upon arrival and the host already knew but was not mentioned, the spa was a plug and play and took until the next day to heat up, the pool and spa were not treated with cleaner or chemicals and after the yard which was not maintained until the day after we arrived when they came and spent the better part of the morning running equipment to cut down the foot tall weeds which also got into the spa which no longer had a cover making the spa pretty much unusable to us for the stay due to debris and overall cleanliness. The barbecue was older, dirty and had a broken wheel which made it lean to the back. For the price I expected alittle better.

If you are looking for a place in the mountains, you have found the one. The road goes from pavement to gravel and then pavement with some curves included. You are literally going up the mountain. With that being said, you will also enjoy nature and wildlife. We were able to see a mama bear and her 3 cubs and a raccoon family. The house is beautiful, clean, and spacious. We felt right at home. The whole family enjoyed the pool, arcade room, and movie room. The kitchen had enough pots and pans to cook dinner. Sandia was responsive and made sure to check on us throughout the stay. We truly had a great time and recommend this beautiful house for your trip to Tennessee.

This place was great! Dinner time on the back porch was relaxing, while the luxury to be entertained in the game room, theatre, pool or hot tub was an incredible bonus. Very clean, very comfortable, worth the trip from Pennsylvania.

We LOVED our stay! The road leading up to the mountain took a time or two getting used to, but it was well worth it! The house was very clean and the kitchen was stocked well for what we needed. We loved all the amenities, especially since the weather called for rain. Sandia was very responsive and helpful to fix a minor hiccup we had. We had seen photos in her listing of bears in the driveway, but never did we expect to experience what we did…I had made supper and seared the meat. As we were finishing up supper the front door opened and next we hear our oldest say, “oh my goodness a bear!”. A bear had OPENED the front door of house. The creaking of the door and the noise from inside sent him walking the other way. It was incredible!!!! It was the highlight of our family vacation!!!!! Needless to say, lock the doors behind you! We used the back deck every night playing games with our oldest kids while our babies slept! Thank you for the memories and the tranquility!

This is a beautiful cabin that was perfect for our family of 8. Looks just like (or better than) the listing pictures. Close enough to Pigeon Forge to be convenient but in a really quiet area that definitely has the mountain feel we wanted. Everything from the pool and hot tub to the game room and grill were in great condition and helped make it a great place to relax.

The location was ideal, offering both an escape and convenience. We had a fantastic time exploring the nearby attractions. This was our first trip to the area. Sandia was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was great. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We recommend this Airbnb.

We can’t say enough good things about Sandia and the Sapphire Retreat! Even before check in Sandia provided us with a list of must-see/do/eats that did not disappoint. The home was absolutely stunning and our boys loved the pool and game room. Everything was clean, comfortable, and inviting. We swam, played, watched, and relaxed for a week and we can’t wait to return!

My family and I had an amazing stay at The Sapphire Retreat nestled in the Smoky Mountains in wears valley near Pigeon Forge and Dollywood. The cabin’s features exceeded our expectations — from the stunning mountain views to the hot tub and indoor heated pool. The kids loved the awesome bunk beds, and the basement game room added an extra layer of fun to our stay. It was a perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and entertainment. Host was very helpful and provided us with excellent support and recommendations for local things to do and places to eat at. Highly recommended for a memorable mountain getaway! Would go back and stay there again!
