Gnats are bad. The campground is right off a noisy highway. It's a bit "Rustic". Won't be back.

Cosby Creek Cabins - out back at sunset

Cosby Creek Cabins

Spent 5 nights at the Cabin on the Hill. The cabin was…read moreperfect! It was clean and needed nothing. The hot tub was great....especially with snow covered mountain tops in the background. We were lucky enough to see a group of deer which appear to make their home not far from the cabin. This was our first trip with Cosby Creek Cabins, I'm confident there will be more to come! Definitely recommend this one!!

This is a long one... First of all let me say thanks for…read moreruining our birthday and anniversary weekend get away. Our issues started by us getting lost and driving around in a circle for an hour due to poor directions provided, ( and do not say that we cannot read, your emailed directions state to come to a "Y" in the road, when it is a "T" and you need to turn to the right. We go in and do a preliminary walk through, which is a normal thing for me to do, we discover the TV does not work, just comes up to a blank screen, (no network available), so I make a call to the office and have to leave a message. Almost immediately after I hang up, my huband tells me to call back because the hot tub would not come on, before I call the office again, I look for a disconnect for it and could not find one, and then check the breaker to make sure that it was not tripped, which it wasn't, so I call the office again and leave another message. I get a call back about 5 minutes later from the property manager. When I tell him that there are issues, including bad directions, he gets hateful and states, "well there is nothing wrong with our directions, no one has ever gotten lost going up there." I then talk about the TV and hot tub not working and proceed to tell him that we have already checked the breaker in the panel box for the hot tub and that it was not tripped, and that the TV says no network on it. He then rudely states "well if it is that bad pack up and leave." I had read the previous reviews and had seen that he has done this to others in the past. They did get someone up there quickly, so kudos for that. Other issues we had were: Queen bed sags to the middle so bad that we moved down to the couch and the twin bed at 3am. Ceiling fan too low to bed 3 1/2 to 4ft up. Sleeper sofa, hard as a rock, could not sleep there. Kitchen sink faucet so loose that you cannot temp the water properly, got scalded several times. Shower has very little to no pressure. Toilet is loose and swivels. Shower curtain had a stain on it (dried toothpaste, soap, or bodily fluids) Kitchen pots and pans have loose handles, about to come apart. Trash and debris all around the outside of the cabin. Loud ORV / side by side driving and revving engine at all hours of the night, stopping and sitting by the cabin. Dust on all the blinds, mantle, light fixtures (cleaning person must be very short or never looks up) I felt like if I had have called back to the office, that the property Mgr would have been rude again. I was so upset all weekend that I did not enjoy myself, did not relax, nor rest. Needless to say, unless there are major changes, we will not be back! $300+ for 2 nights is bs, and then charged a fee for cleaning, and the cabin was cleaner when we left than it was when we got there. I feel that we should be refunded no less than 1/2 of what we paid, due to all of the above. Y'all came highly recommended from a local friend, that was embarrassed when we told them all the issues.

With the majestic Smoky Mountains as a backdrop even a ramshackle lean-to with a poly tarp for a…read moreroof would be sufficient. But for many - as with my family - a getaway should feature a bit more. And more is exactly what you get from a stay at Lee's Cabin. My wife, toddler daughter, and I have been blessed to be guests at the cabin this week. Our initial interaction with the owner was a very comfortable one and the hospitality was consistent and appreciated. Ginger is beyond a cabin owner. She is a hostess with the absolute 'mostess' and is a huge practitioner of customer service and care. Upon arrival we were greeted with a fall display just off the porch complete with straw bales, a scarecrow, and some pumpkins. What a way to say "hello!" Once in the cabin the greeting continued with a beautiful autumn hearth display and autumn smells. This theme continued with the dining table centerpiece, and a few other knick-knacks. Now this being our 9th or 10th cabin rental in the mountains we are beyond being impressed simply by black bear statues, oversized furniture, antler lamps, and folksy signage. We want a bit more creature comfort and substance. We found that with a large, flat screen TV in the living area, a pool table, a flat screen in the master bedroom (in viewing range of both the fireplace and the jet tub), washer/dryer facilities, a well stocked kitchen (minus the food, of course, but with things like a blender, knife block, and fiestaware-like dishes), ceiling fans to circulate the air, and - most importantly for our device happy family - fast and reliable WiFi (13.35 Mbps download and 2.41 Mbps upload). I would like to say our first few hours were spent admiring the view and the seclusion of the cabin itself. Alas, it was not. Instead we took turns (one-at-the-time for maximum enjoyment) soaking in the jet tub and watching television. For a family-on-the-go, it was a rather great way to start our time. Afterwards we took in the sweeping views on the back porch while rocking away in 1 of 3 wooden, rocking chairs. With a hot cup of coffee, no forced conversation, and the crisp air...well, you can't book time like that! Other standouts of Lee's Cabin for us were the comfortable beds (one downstairs and one upstairs) and cozy sheet sets, EXCELLENT water pressure in both showers (one upstairs and one downstairs), a grill/smoker on the back deck, a breakfast bar/countertop to enjoy afternoon hors d'oeuvres on, maps and menus of the area, and a prime parking spot just at the front porch entrance! We certainly have enjoyed our time here (and even had clean laundry to return home with!) and look forward to a future opportunity at Lee's Cabin. NOTE: If you are like me and tend to forget things like shaving cream, soap, and even laundry detergent, no worries. Ginger has thought of everything leaving each guest (or so it seems) with coffee pods and condiments, soap, shampoo, and bath gel in the bathrooms, plenty of fresh linens, single-use laundry detergent and dryer sheets, and there is even a sanitary seal on the toilet seats!

I'll start off by saying, I did read the only other review & it doesn't quite seem to add up to…read morethis place. I've counted like 6 cabins here on the campground, of which none are pictured like the one in the previous review. Perhaps they have another area I've not seen? Anyhow. We are located right behind the pavilion. When we first arrived, the pavilion was packed with people gathered making homemade ice cream. Although we were invited, we declined so we can get unpacked and head out to dinner. We went to the pool as well, our son had a blast. It was salty, which after some research discovered it's most likely from the use of liquid chlorine, no big deal. The cabin itself. It's small, cozy and clean. Loved the little kitchen area, with the mini fridge and coffee pot. It has a futon as well, which we pulled out for our son to sleep on. The shower is extremely small, which it was difficult to get my son in there with me for a quick wash after the pool. I'll have to remember to make sure places have a tub for our little one(s). I went to move the shower head and water squirt out of the top, so I quickly left it alone. The bed, ehh. Not that comfy, but more comfortable than if we camped out in a tent The pillows were mediocre, so we went and got a few pillows of our own. Overall, the cabin is nice. It's simple & it's exactly what was pictured online. Had extra blankets, towels, silverware, etc. The cabin itself is for sure my favorite part. I do appreciate that unlike a hotel, they don't bother with cleaning until you leave. Which I like. Overall, I wouldn't want to be located near the pavilion again. I'd like to see where the cabin is the other reviewer spoke of. But in general, based on personal taste & nothing against Arrow Creek, we will likely look for something more secluded next time. So, I will say, it's Monday night & we leave tomorrow. It was extremely quiet outside tonight. I barely seen or heard anyone at all. Perhaps the noise was from everybody celebrating the 4th.

Honestly, I cannot recommend securing a reservation and heading over to the Buckhorn Inn for dinner…read moreenough! I don't remember where I first read about the dinner at the Buckhorn Inn as a do-not-miss when in Gatlinburg. I called several weeks in advance for a reservation, as guests of the Inn have first refusal for dinner. Initially, the day I was looking for was booked, so I straight out asked if they had any availability for any of the days we were there. ...and so we headed out on Saturday evening for the set menu of assorted in-house-made bread and rolls, a vegetable and white bean soup, beef tenderloin with asparagus and potato, and a dark chocolate ganache torte with orange marmalade, all for an extremely reasonable price. There is also a wine recommendation for each night's meal, which my husband went for (excellent), and when I requested coffee, our server went right to the kitchen and brewed a fresh pot (also excellent). In addition to the wonderful meal, the atmosphere in the dining room is restful and comfortable with a large fireplace hearth in the center. There is also a veranda right off the dining room, lined with rocking chairs, where you can sit and look out over the Smoky Mountains, and unlike most of the rest of Gatlinburg, it is quiet and meditative. Take a deep breath. The staff could not have been friendlier, kinder, and more accommodating. If you are in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area, DO NOT miss the opportunity to head to the Buckhorn for dinner; just call ahead to make a reservation and keep your fingers crossed that they have room!

The place was romantic, quiet and lovely - a roaring fire and candles set the mood. The prix fixe meal included homemade bread, soup, an entree with vegetables and dessert for only $40/person. We also added a bottle of wine for a reasonable price. Everything was delicious and the portions were perfect. This was such a breath of fresh air in a touristy town with many loud, crowded restaurants with mediocre quality food.

The most delicious and filling you could ask for. Certainly not what you are expecting. The Inn is immaculately clean and beautifully furnished.

Located on a mountain, it's a little difficult to find at night, but worth getting lost to find! We stayed here for our anniversary. The breakfast was amazing with ample portions. They don't skimp on anything! The room was luxurious and clean. They gave us excellent recommendations about what local sights to see, museums to visit, trails to hike, places to shop, restaurants to dine at, and places to avoid. There is ample outside seating to enjoy the incredible views. The pictures don't lie. This was one of our favorite getaways ever!

We had to delay our trip by one day due to illness and called ahead to move our prepaid night to Saturday, but were told no changes were allowed even though rooms were available. The room itself was quiet but very small, and the shower was tiny. We also expected a farm-to-table dinner, but learned it required 48-hour notice, which wasn't mentioned anywhere. Overall, nice setting but poor communication and very little flexibility.

BUYER BEWARE, they have a no refund policy that they enforce regardless of natural disasters. They care less about anything other than money. Customers are a second choice. Major Interstate non-passable, " So take a different route" Travelling for 40 years now, and never dealt with anything like this. We had a 10 day trip planned and both other lodgings gave us full credit due to circumstances. Creekwalk was also able to rebook our cancelled cabin, and refused to give us credit card refund. So, they got paid twice for the same cabin. The place may be great, but, their business practices are deplorable.

We have stayed at a LOT of B&Bs, and I am not exaggerating when I say that this was the absolute best experience we've ever had. I made the reservation over the phone with George a couple of months before our trip - he recommended the Catalooche room, which was lovely! The room was always kept very clean and was extremely comfortable. The B&B has the look/feel of a log cabin, but with all the modern amenities! When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Anita, who gave us some of her delicious peach tea (omg the BEST). She then recommended we head over to Hungry Bear BBQ for dinner - a low key, local joint which we LOVED and returned to twice during our stay. She also provided us with a book of trails so we could plan our activities, which proved very helpful for determining which hikes to choose as there are so many in the mountains. Anita and George were very friendly and warm, and made us feel at home right away. Anita bakes a dessert every evening that guests can enjoy after returning back from dinner. Her peach cobbler was the BEST I have ever tasted. They always provide refreshments throughout the day, whenever we stopped back in between or after hikes. The breakfast items they prepared were classic family recipes, and very delicious. They serve them hot & plated, and we thoroughly enjoyed them. My husband and I have agreed that we will make it a yearly tradition to go back to the Smoky Mountains, and stay with Anita & George at the Quail Ridge B&B. Highly recommend!!!
