We stayed here for the first time with our family of 5 (16, 13, & 4 yrs). There are a lot of steps, which you can see from the photo, but I thought they were pretty easy. The lower steps are wider & there is a bit of a landing if you needed to pause before continuing up. The photos of the view are slightly misleading. The mountain view is from the front porch, but the leaves cover a lot of the view in July.
The cabin seemed a little smaller than the photos appeared, but really plenty of space for us (& we are used to 4000+ sq ft living space). The pool table is nice, but you have to use short cues on 2/4 sides. Kitchen does not have a crock pot or instapot, which would be nice. Otherwise, it had all we needed. It does have a more apartment size fridge, but it is vacation.
Beds were comfy & clean. The kids bunk bed area is very quiet. We could not hear the kids at all! The small TV's weren't an issue for us because we hardly had time to watch TV. And often the kids watch Netflix on tablets or phone at our house.
WiFi isn't the fastest, but again it's vacation and we wanted to unplug a little anyways.
The drive to get around wasn't an issue for us. So easy to get to all the places Pigeon Forge has to offer. Easy drive to Kroger for groceries. VERY close to Boss Hog BBQ, which we loved & would recommend. Hot tub worked excellent for us.
Really my biggest complaint is a slight odor. Now this is a cabin that sometimes has pets, so I should have expected some of it. Manager was very responsive to us. And the other thing is that it does get humid in the cabin, but again... July! And it wasn't unbearable to sleep. If you need a freezing cold cabin to sleep though, pick somewhere else. Strict temperatures are asked to help the air conditioning keep up without breaking down.
We did use the trails & enjoyed them. The waterfall was awesome after a big rain, but usually in July I'm guessing it's not so big. Places to get in the stream and walk or kids to wade in the water that are nice. We used gold course- very short so my husband played once. Put put looked fun, but we ran out of time! Pool looked nicer in person than in photos. Fishing areas were nice.
Overall, we'd come to this resort again.
