Kathy, our host was absolutely the best, she always responded quickly to all questions. My family was sending her questions for months even before arriving (LOL). Kathy's recommendations for places to visit were spot on, with Anakeesta Mountain at the top of the list. I would also recommend staying late at Dollywood for the drone show and fireworks. The Cabin is in a great location, close to all activities plus as an extra bonus, close to shopping for groceries, clothing items missed in packing. We had 2 Rottweilers and 10 of us, the house was well equipped and large enough to handle all. Not much walking space outside the cabins to walk dogs, especially our big ones, but we made it work. Loved sitting on the back deck in the morning prior to the start of family daily activities, just breathing in fresh air and sipping on the morning brew. Cabin was well stocked with kitchen items, toilet paper, hand soap, towels etc. The kids were requesting to come back before we even left the cabin. Definitely a good find. On garbage day, our kids cited a bear and took snapshots of it heading up the road to the cabins. Keep your garbage bin cage locked as requested, check on garbage days after collection that the area is locked again by the removal service, ours wasn't. I wholeheartedly recommend this cabin, the VRBO site and our Star Host Kathy.
