Here are some rave reviews from our previous guests:
the Vieux
Mallory, January 2024
Y’all where do I even begin?! From the moment I booked with Kathryn, I knew I had chosen the right wedding venue. The customer service was top-tier. I was so thankful we chose The Vieux. There was a winter storm coming… Kathryn made sure we had the appropriate vehicles and she and her husband came out to pour salt on the driveway. I am so, so grateful for their communication and hospitality. Now on to the actual cabin… WOW. Pictures will not do this place justice. It is extremely accommodating for large parties, it is so cozy, and there’s plenty to do. We had 16 adults stay in the cabin and it never felt like we were on top of each other. As for our big day–it was gorgeous. We had 30 guests and it was the perfect size for our group. If you’re thinking of booking for a vacation or an event… just do it! You will not regret it.
This place! Y’ALL!! It is absolutely beautiful! It’s only a few minutes from town but nestled away at the same time! We had Thanksgiving dinner here this year and we couldn’t have found a bigger or better place! The kitchen was fully stocked and there were plenty of this to keep the guys and kids busy while dinner was cooking! The place was clean and just as pictures showed. We recommend this place to anyone we has a large family gathering and headed to this area!!

My family and I had an amazing stay! The cabin was spacious with amazing views, perfect for our first family vacation Christmas. The cabin was also in the perfect location, just a few minutes drive from Pigeon Forge.

This place was truly incredible. The pictures DO NOT do it justice. While it looks very pretty in the pictures, the view in person took our breath away. Sit on the porch swing for breakfast and hang out in the hot tub at sunset. It is very private but close enough to others to not feel alone.
While there are many lookout points, the view from the porch is by far the best. The cabin itself was very homey and cozy. Lighting the fireplace while eating dinner or watching a movie on the couch with the views from the kitchen windows feels like a Hallmark movie! Plus, there are a lot of great attractions within a 15-minute drive. Will 100% be coming back and booking again.

Words cannot describe the beautiful view this cabin has!
We were in pure awe of the mountains. We had a cozy winter stay and would definitely recommend staying at this cabin and we will come back to stay ourselves! Kathryn is great! She’s very friendly and hospitable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The view from this cabin was astonishing, I can’t even put into words how pretty it was. Upon arrival, we had a minor issue that the host replied and took care of! She was accommodating and replied very fast. We’ve stayed at multiple cabins in the Pigeon Forge area, and this by far was the one with the best view so if you’re looking for that- look no further! I also really liked how the space was used- it is a “smaller cabin” but the placement of things makes sense. I also appreciated the decor. The hot tub is on the front deck- which I wasn’t a huge fan that it wasn’t “private”- but soon realized nobody comes down the road the cabin is on! We were very sad to leave.
Besides coming to celebrate my birthday, finding Kathryn’s cabin was the best gift. It's the perfect place—from the moment you open the door, you feel at home.
Everything smells clean, just like when you lovingly tidy your own house and care for every detail. Communication with Kathryn was smooth, and her instructions were clear. The cabin has easy access and the views are the perfect bonus to watch the sunset or enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony. It’s close to everything there is to do, yet far enough from the noise, so you can enjoy silence and connect with nature. Thank you, Kathryn, for keeping such a magical and well-cared-for place. I will definitely return with my family and stay again!

I had a great stay! Everything was exactly as described, and I had a very smooth stay. Kathryn was very responsive and helpful when I had questions. The cabin itself was nice and clean, no clutter, and just what I needed for a couple night stay.
I would stay again!

Kathryn's condo was outstanding. Newly remodeled. Had all the beach touches. Comfortable beds.
Cannot beat the view from the balcony!
Beach access is literally downstairs by the elevators. Great place to stay for a beach week.

We have had the best time staying here this week. Amazing views, nice staff, and nice walk to local spots. Condo comes with everything you need, even beach chairs in the closet. The master bed was the best bed I have slept in on vacation.
The condo is on the end, so your balcony is bigger. Host was responsive. Amazing Views. We see dolphins every morning. This is a must-visit spot!

A lovely stay. A beautiful view of the beach from the balcony. A 2-minute walk to the beach. We were able to catch a sunrise and sunset just staying one night. The Master bathroom had everything you might need including a curling iron.
We would stay here again.
Gorgeous views from the den and one of the bedrooms! Right on the Gulf! Spacious, inviting balcony. Well stocked with very nice decor.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will book again if available!
Pictures were exactly what was posted! Very clean as well.
Great views from the balcony and easy access to the beach. We will definitely be back as well as recommend this place to family and friends!

This place was absolutely gorgeous. We had the most incredible view of the Smokies. The cabin was clean and the perfect amount of space for us for the weekend. Kathryn was very helpful, her instructions were clear, and she made us feel very welcome the whole weekend!
We would definitely stay here again!

The Nest has amazing views, makes you feel right at home and very relaxing. The cabin had everything we needed and is very clean. Very easy to find, a short distance to town and in a great location. During our stay we got to meet Kathryn and Wendell . Very nice couple and respectful host for sure. Definitely would consider them new friends in our book and it was a pleasure meeting them. Very quick responses to any questions we had.
Definitely will stay at The Nest again in the future.

The Nest was exactly as described & the pictures are accurate. So cozy, quaint & comfortable for the two of us. The mountain views are remarkable. The location has you feeling like you are hundreds of miles away from everything & everyone, when in fact you are only 6 miles from town. Just what we were looking for.
Kathryn is the perfect host & very responsive. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Kathryn, for everything !

We went for a girl's weekend getaway and this place was perfect! Very quiet, private, and yes, the view was amazing! We only left to go into Pigeon Forge for food one time but it was less than a 10-minute drive. We were surprised at how much there was to do there. The cabin was super clean, and neat.
My family and I will definitely visit there again soon! Oh, and the hot tub was also super clean and worked perfectly!

Kathryn’s cabin was incredible! The views were spectacular! Kathryn was an amazing host because she communicated well the entire stay. The place was very romantic and peaceful and we will definitely be back in the future!
Wow. Just wow!!! There are no words to describe the views from this cabin!!! The views off the back deck are rivaled with the views of the city from the swing out front!
Private and quiet, this will be a go-to place for us and should be for you! Book it now!

My stay at the Beehive went really well. Kathryn was friendly and provided us with the answers to our questions right away. It was a very clean place and provided everything we needed to have a comfortable stay in the cabin. It’s located in a beautiful location and it's very peaceful and quiet.
Would 100% book again. It was a perfect time!

The owner is an extremely nice person and was available at any time for any questions I had. The location of the cabin is one of the best in the area, and by far, has the best price I’ve ever had for an Airbnb for this size in this area.
We arrived at night. So, when we woke up in the morning and first saw the view out the windows...wow.
So good. Lovely stay at a quiet place. Our family had a good getaway. Kathryn was responsive to our coffee machine operator errors! Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at Kissing the Clouds cabin! At first, we rented a room at the hotel we previously used. This time, our small room had no view and felt a bit like jail. So we escaped to Kissing the Clouds, which was the complete opposite!
From the minute we walked in, we were stunned by the amazing views of the mountains. The place was super clean and offered everything we needed for a comfortable stay. My son was thrilled to have his own room. There is so much to do in the area, and we were able to get to our favorite places within a short drive. We will definitely stay here again during our next visit.

This was our 2nd time staying at the Duck and Turtle Pond. We loved it so much the first time that we knew we had to stay at the same cabin again! The views are lovely, and it’s quiet and peaceful, even when the cabins nearby are occupied. The hot tub is so nice to sit out at night and relax.
Kathryn is very responsive when you message her and is a great host. She recommended a great local coffee shop too—Smoky Mountain Espresso—which became our new favorite morning stop! Unfortunately, this cabin is booked this spring, but we'll definitely be back sometime soon, as we do enjoy this cabin and location!
Thank you, Kathryn and Wendell!!
