    This was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway for our young kids…read more The first day was super packed, so I'm going to guess this place does get pretty busy, but most of the time it was pretty dead. Note there are no in room coffee makers or microwaves. We brought our own coffee maker, but the microwave was all the way down the hallway which was inconvenient. Overall, you get what you pay for, and this place is definitely worth the money!

    We visited during the off season, right after New Year's Day, and the waterpark wasn't open because…read moreit's an outdoor waterpark. So this review is for everything except the waterpark. Country Cascades Waterpark Resort is an extremely family-friendly hotel in Pigeon Forge. From the moment we checked in until we left, we were surrounded by friendly people who made sure my family was comfortable and had lots of fun. This hotel has themed suites for families! We stayed in one of their treehouse suites, which has two sets of themed twin bunk beds, as well as a king-sized bed in the main sleeping area. The twin bunk bed area had night lights and a TV in the treehouse nook. My kids were delighted to find a treasure hunt inside our room: a safe full of goodies that they could only unlock once they found all of the clues around the room. We probably could have spent the whole day just having fun inside Country Cascades, even without the waterpark. Inside the resort, there is a bowling alley, arcade, rock climbing wall, gemstone mining, and a gift shop where you can build your own stuffed animal. Kids' activities happen throughout the day, so there's always something to participate in. Plus, the hotel has its own ice cream parlor, pizza restaurant, candy and popcorn shop, coffee shop and breakfast restaurant. Not to mention the waterpark, when you visit during the summer months. Country Cascades is an all-in-one place to stay and play. Country Cascades has its own breakfast restaurant in-house called Granny Cluckets. There's no menu -- instead, the restaurant serves a "family-style" all-you-care-to-eat breakfast skillet, and the table shares all of the food. You're served a big skillet of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage links, country potatoes, waffles, and biscuits and gravy. Orange juice, water and coffee are also part of the breakfast. One serving is a lot of food for a family of four, but if you're very hungry, you can ask for more and they will give you more. We ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant each morning, and we all agreed that it was a good breakfast. The room was very clean, and although they don't do a full room service, they do take out the trash and replace your towels each day without you having to ask. The one thing that was irksome is that the gym in the hotel is just a treadmill, a stationary bike, and a weight machine. It's very small, and also, they don't allow access to the gym until 7 a.m. That's late for a person like me who needs to rise and grind before her family wakes up! Oh well. I made do, but it would have been nice to at least have an elliptical and 24-hour access.

    I came here on an impromptu trip with friends and I had the most amazing time at Black Bear Ridge…read morecabins! I did not book this property myself or pay for it; I am writing merely as a guest. First, the drive up the long winding road was beautiful and peaceful. Easy to manage in a small sedan. The cabin itself (#938 I think) was clean, spacious, had adequate parking for 2 cars, and best of all- HOT TUB ACTION! There was a security keypad at the front door for secure entry, the kitchen was stocked with utensils, but we brought plenty of our own just in case. The main floor had 1 bedroom w/full bath, patio, washer & dryer. The bottom floor (gameroom area) had a patio, pool table, foosball and 1 bedroom w/ full bath. The top floor (loft area) housed a spacious sleeping and social area ... The hot tub was also located on this floor. The hot tub was the best part for me! I mean it was cold af & snowing, but we stayed in the tub for hours just enjoying the view (with wine of course lol). I would not recommend going in the tub alone, because it's just so peaceful you might fall asleep underwater (nah for real). I have never been on a trip to the cabins before and I was floored by the serenity of it all. Also, Black Bear Ridge is located just a few minutes from the main drag in town so I recommend exploring the city. We did Alpine Coasters and went to The Island in Pigeon Forge. There is a skywheel there and brewery and moonshine distillery, restaurants and many activities for the whole family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You will not be disappointed.

    Stayed in the Whimsical Treehouse. Getting to this cabin was a nightmare. We had to go down the…read moreroad and turn around as there is no way to make a right hand turn into the driveway. The directions did say an inclined driveway but no where did it mention you need 4WD or that there are massive pot holes. The cabin itself looked very nice. Inside was definitely smaller than expected, the pictures made it look bigger. The hvac system made a constant whine while on, both split units were a pain and we couldn't get the heat to work on either one until our last day, thankfully there was a space heater to take the chill off. There was a ceramic trim piece that came off a stair and was just sitting on the stair below where it belonged. The shower door does NOT close all the way as the door doesn't line up. The "barn door" on the bathroom has nails sticking out that both of us got cut on. The hot tub is no bigger than a bathtub, pictures show an open 4 person hot tub but it's only a 2 person. There was no outdoor hammock but the listing says there is. The French doors leading to the deck: the door on the left is messed up and is very hard to open and close. The linens on the bed felt like sand paper, they were so rough we had to go buy sheets to use. The bathroom sink is nice looking but doesn't drain well and there was black mold around the drain(I had to clean it) and the water coming out of the faucet well it barely comes out and tastes horrible, had to brush our teeth in the kitchenette sink. Not to mention the garbage can lid was missing. I did try to call in to voice my concerns but after sitting on hold for 30 minutes and no one picking up I gave up and hung up. Lastly the free and discounted tickets offered with every rental are a joke, you have maybe 5 to choose from that are free but only the first ticket is free and the discounted ones are not discounted at all I compared prices and some I could get cheaper directly from the attractions website. Way over priced for what we got, not at all worth $1200 for 4 nights.

    The building itself is very nice. It looks like recent construction…read more We were surprised and disappointed by several things: 1. There were no hangars in the house to hang our clothes (why have closets?) 2. There were 10 bars of soap and no shampoo or conditioner anywhere 3. None of the windows had curtains. Very strange for bedrooms not to have them. 4. We weren't told not to drink the water until we arrived and read the book. Had to buy. 5. There's a washer and dryer but no laundry detergent 6. There were large spider webs everywhere outside the house (poor showing) 7. There were spider webs inside the house, even in the master shower. Need dustmop. 8. Several outside light bulbs were inop. Poor attention to detail. 9. Main floor shower door is installed incorrectly. Doesn't close, no water seal. Poor. 10. There's a coffeemaker but no coffee - paperweight. 11. Main floor bathroom sink has no stopper, just a hole. I paid almost $450/night to rent the cabin. I think that should more than cover my expectations above. Having coffee, shampoo, laundry detergent, hangars, and other consumables is a minimum standard for a lodging rental. If water isn't potable, there should be a few bottles of water to start the guests off and give them time to shop. Curtains or shades should be installed for light control as well as privacy. Other family members can see in from decks, plus most people don't want morning sun right away when they wake up. Shower door installation tells me that shoddy workmanship was used in construction. Glad I'm not the owner. Final note: we arrived and checked out the house and views from the balconies. After reading the guest book, we looked for bears down below. When we returned after dinner in town, we found that someone had placed about 6-8 bread slices on the ground below the cabin balconies. I assume it was to attract bears. The strange thing is that there are no neighbors anywhere nearby, and the area "down below" wouldn't have access by anyone else. Strange.

    Our "second home" in the Smokies! We stay here every time we visit. This one-bedroom cabin is…read moreperfect for a couple on a honeymoon, or empty-nesters (like us) who just want to get away for a weekend. It is conveniently located just off the parkway between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, and only a short drive to all of the local attractions, as well as Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
