We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb during our family trip l. The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Traveling with kids can sometimes be challenging, but this place was very family-friendly and had plenty of space for everyone to relax after a long day.

The place was great, a lot of things to do at the house if we wanted to just stay home and enjoy the view. However, this place would have gotten 5 stars if the main floor air conditioning worked better, the dishwasher actually washed the dishes and the window unit upstairs wasn’t broken. The home was clean, beautiful and the wildlife didn’t disappoint (we saw bears walking up everyday).

This cabin needs a deep cleaning and there isn’t enough bedding for couch beds. The balcony was full of pollen, the hot tub was not clean, we found blood and a dried contact in our sheets. We could not get bedding for a couch bed until 10:30 the night after we checked in. This place could be really nice, but what we paid it should have been a lot better stay!

We had an absolutely marvelous stay at Ryan and Kara’s Airbnb! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. We traveled with a basketball team and coaches, and the space was perfect for accommodating our group comfortably. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax, recharge, and come together as a team. The home was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed. Communication with Ryan and Kara was smooth and responsive they made sure we felt welcomed and taken care of throughout our stay.
After long days at the tournament, it was such a blessing to come back to a place that felt safe, peaceful, and like a home away from home. We truly appreciate the hospitality and would definitely stay again in the future.
Highly recommend to anyone, especially larger groups or teams traveling together!

Place was great ! Easy check in ! Cabin was nice and clean lots of games for the kids to play bed was super comfy.. will book again

Stayed a weekend with my AAU basketball team and it was perfect for them and us during our tournament. Enough space for 15 people to sleep. Team really enjoyed it and some saw a bear for the first time in their life. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

From check in to check out, everything was perfect. Easy to access house, clean, and had the best home feel. All amenities provided. Will definitely stay again!

Nice location. Easy to get into the National Park to hike.
The deck was a wonderful place to read and enjoy meals.

Great stay and responded extremely fast!! space was great and it's 3 stories plenty of room

The cabin was great for our basketball team and their moms! If we play at Rocky top sports world again we will return to this Airbnb.

We have stayed at Ryan & Kara’s place for multiple trips. Great for several families. Anytime we go to the Gatlinburg area this will always be our choice!

Nice place, good location.

Beautiful place, cozy house, and a very friendly and communicative host. I highly recommend this place for a vacation.👍🏻

The Airbnb was clean, and the communication was excellent. The only problems we had with our 15 guests was that there was not enough blankets, sheets, and pillows. We did not have enough plates, silverware, and larger size baking dishes. The bears were somewhat shocking; they were constantly going through our empty tubs in the back of the truck. We saw several bears all week. They were not aggressive; seemed more afraid of us than we were of them. The house itself, was smaller than what the pictures showed. We did bring two air mattresses; which was a lifesaver for a couple of teens. We needed more seats around the TV. Our High School was in the State Finals in football, so we all wanted to watch the game. Loved the balconies with the rocking chairs and extra tables; it could have used some better lighting out there. We needed more towels, dish towels and toilet paper. The 6 bag trash limit is pretty impossible with a group of 15 and it was Thanksgiving as well. Bonnie Black 11/2025

beautiful place

Highly recommend this cabin! My family and I had a great time, closely located to downtown Gatlinburg .

There is something to do for all members of the family!

Great place for our family (7 adults, 5 kids). Great hosts!

This cabin was beautiful and so close to everything! We truly enjoyed our stay!

Really enjoyed our stay

Super easy check-in process; very short drive to downtown Gatlinburg; several other cabins surrounding but a quiet and peaceful environment; lots of games and everything was super clean

Living room area was smaller than expected but overall nice, comfortable, and cozy place.

We had a wonderful time! After a small hiccup at the beginning of the stay everything went smoothly. It was easy to communicate and they kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was cleaned and had what we needed to make ourselves feel at home. It was in a great location and easy to Uber to and from. All the furniture and beds were comfortable, as we all passed out and slept like rocks. The hosts were wonderful and we would be happy to book with them again. Oh! Don't forget the hot tub! We even had a bear show up outside so, do make sure to lock the trash if you stay!

Best Siblings Trip Ever!!!. Ryan provided the perfect place for us to stay. The Gameroom was a hit with the kids (and adults). Jacuzzi was a hit with the adults! There was room for the young adults that needed privacy for their " me time". Kitchen was big enough. We saw bear each day in the complex. Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge were full of family activities. Ryan & team were excellent hosts. I would gladly work with him again.

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin in Gatlinburg! The location was perfect, secluded enough to feel peaceful and private, yet just a short drive to Downtown Gatlinburg. The cabin was spotless, well-stocked, and exactly as pictured. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made check-in a breeze. This cabin was perfect for our quiet family retreat. Highly recommend—we’ll definitely be back!

Very helpful and responsive host. The house is awesome for a big family and very close to gatlinburg area.

Every year, we hold a retreat for our TEEN group, and this location was truly the perfect fit. Everything Ryan shared was spot on. The cabin offered a peaceful atmosphere, yet there was an abundance of activities to enjoy inside. With ample kitchen supplies and an incredible washer and dryer, it was a wonderful experience! We are excited and hopeful to return.

The cabin was as described. The kids loved all the games they had to play. Loved that there were many bathrooms and large bedrooms. Kitchen had all you needed to prepare meals. Would absolutely stay again.

We had a lovely family reunion at this home in Gatlinburg. The kids loved the game room and adults loved the hot tub. When we had an issue, they were quick to take care of it. We were close to hiking, Dollywood, and the downtown of Gatlinburg.

It was really very convenient to visit Tennessee and very suitable location.

Great place for stay
Very quiet area in mountain
Feel natural around the cabin
Kids love this cabin , lots of games and hot pool is they loved
Hosts very helpful for this property
Thanks for everything

The Smokey Stargazer was great. It was as advertised and really well appointed. Ryan was a phenomenal host and the home is so accommodating especially for a larger group. Everything was found as described and we really lacked for nothing. Ryan was a great host that cares for his property. Would definitely recommend Ryan and this property for anyone looking for space in Gatlinburg.

todo muy hermoso confortable recomendable 100%

We had so much fun for my son’s 18th birthday! The boys had plenty of games to choose from, we had enough space for everyone to enjoy! It’s a beautiful cabin! They were able to assist us with a later check out, and very responsive with any question!

This was our second trip to this property. The place is great with plenty of room for three families! Our girls were playing volleyball at the Rocky Top Sports World and this place is located very close to it. We will book it again next time we are in Gatlinburg.

100 porciento recomendado me volvería a hospedar 100 veces más

Fuimos 15 personas en este lugar queríamos pasar año nuevo en familia pero la casa estaba real mente sucia mi mamá tuvo que lavar baños por que tenían residuos de popo, el horno de la cocina tenía mugre que estoy segura que no es de una sola visita cobijas sucias y la tarifa de limpieza estaba realmente alta para lo deficiente que fue esta, reporte que el jacuzzi estaba sucio realmente sucio y la respuesta fue que me generaban un costo adicional y podían ir a el siguiente día a limpiarlo, cajones de la cocina dañados a mi mamá se le cayó uno en el pie cuando hacía el desayuno por suerte era nuestro último día allí, canecas de la basura con papeles especifica mente en el baño, un sensor de humo dañado no puesto, nevera sucia y Rota. A todo esto la respuesta siempre fue que iban a hablar con el equipo para las siguientes personas, pedí un reembolso de la tarifa de limpieza y no tuve respuesta unas vacaciones se convirtieron el hacer limpieza a esa casa y estar enviando evidencia de todo.

Absolutely Beautiful! I highly recommend this place with lots of space for everyone to enjoy (we had 8 adults). it was nice to have an open floor plan for the kitchen and living and dining areas. Everyone enjoyed the game room and hot tub. Close to all you want to do in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the Smokies.

Communication from Halara was outstanding. The cabin was just as beautiful as the pictures. Peaceful place to stay.

Great stay

The place was great for our big family get together!

DISGUSTING! Back flow of sewage into bathroom! Don’t rent! Basement smelled of sewage upon arrival. First flush upstairs, clogged, never refilled and was unusable. Last day sewage/feces water started coming up in down stairs bathtub. Then with every flush upstairs the downstairs to commode over flowed onto the floor. We had to walk through sewage feces to get our bathroom supplies. This was reported… no refund or discount was offered. It’s 2 weeks later and still waiting to hear back from the owner. We have rented multiple places in the past and have never complained but this is awful! They make you pay an extra $250 if they have to pick up your dog’s feces but if the renter has to deal with back flow of it… no response. (We didn’t have a dog just read it in the agreement) DO BETTER!

The cabin is great! Close to everything.

Had a great time! just few mess, noting too serious

Love the cabin had a great time with my family it was peaceful was very happy with the host on checking in with us

Enjoyed our stay. Was just as described.

Beautiful home very spacious. Quiet for most of the trip was just neighbors got loud at night.
Bear did get into the trash due to lack of a clip for the metal container! Needs some updates with foosball table half broken. But great location for things to do!! Could get to Pigeon Forge, Dollywood and the strip in a great amount of time!!!

We had a wonderful weekend at the cabin. It was close to the downtown area and Rocky Top Sports park.

Had a great experience staying here. Halara was quick to respond with all the questions we had and the place looked as described. Thank you for the great experience!

Stayed here with our daughters and thier families. We had a great time and kids enjoyed the cabin and hot tub. Convenient to downtown Gatlinburg, but also in peaceful and quiet location. Would definitely stay there again. Host was very responsive and reached out several times to ensure everything met our needs.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay in this cabin! It was very clean and the area was wonderful. It was a very quiet and relaxing place to be. We would definitely go back again !

My stay was everything so impressed with everything. I would consider going back in the future. You wouldn’t be disappointed!! Felt like home .

My family enjoyed the stay everything was great.

The location was nice and quiet, the house was nice and clean, it’s good place to stay and relax and enjoy.

It was a beautiful cabin . Love to visit again . Enough for our 16 family and friends.

Perfecto para tus vacaciones en familia muy bonito y cómodo

Fit everyone comfortable. Good location. Great communication with host.

Great location with great convenience to downtown Gatlinburg!

Stayed here with 8 other people and we were all very comfortable! Had a great stay, so peaceful, slept amazingly. Highly recommend

All was great just wished we would have been told upfront (not the night before we were leaving) about only being aloud to have 6 trash bags or you would be charged $250.

There was definitely enough room for our family of 12 to sleep, but it was lacking in indoor hangout space. There weren’t enough seats for 6 adults to sit comfortably in the living room or downstairs game room.The weather was wonderful most of the trip, so we spent the majority of our time on the porches which were wonderful. The kids really enjoyed the games, pool table, and bunk bed room!
Please note that you are only allowed 6 bags of trash. We were there for 5 full days with 12 people. We had to take trash with us because there was $250 fee if we left more than 6.
Do NOT take Manis Hollow drive to get to Pigeon Forge! Our GPS took us this way and it is not for the faint of heart! The home was centrally located to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. There’s a quaint little area at the bottom of the neighborhood that everyone should check out as well!
We left something at the house and Ryan was more than wonderful about getting it back to us!

Ryan’s property was perfect for my family’s cabin trip. We definitely enjoyed our stay, instructions upon entry and leaving were very clear. Lots to do in the area as well.
10/10 I’d recommend this property to anyone traveling this area. Such a pleasure.

We enjoyed our time with family at this cabin. Plenty of room to spread out and relax inside and outside. The downstairs game room was a huge hit!

Excellent

What a beautiful home! Very spacious and clean!
We loved the jacuzzi ! They had everything we needed to make our family reunion memorable ....kitchen was very well stocked!! The beds were very comfortable!

Their place was great! Very roomy for our group, the downstairs was a great place for our early teen kids to hand out and play while the adults occupied the main level living room & kitchen.

Loved the cabin, beautiful all around. Perfect getaway

I will definitely be back very clean and homey. Awesome place, especially for families. Had indoor games to keep us entertained full of fun and laughter.

love the place we will be back

Me and my family had a reunion after not seeing each other for years and it was so wonderful to be able to share the beautiful experience Gatlinburg holds! The best was how close it was to downtown gatlinburg!! Loved how spacious and clean the place was! Would totally recommend for a big family trip. Wonderful place.

The cabin was a great size for a large group. The game room was a big attraction for our grandchildren on the rainy days. Having three floors of living space afforded everyone privacy. The location was ideally located close to downtown Gatlinburg.

The cabin was great. It was very nice and the place was very clean. The grandkids loved the game room. It was perfect for our stay. Everyone loved it and hope we can stay again.

Ryan was amazing at communication and so kind deff recommend this place

Nice location

I didn’t communicate with Ryan directly, but the hosting company he uses (Halara Hosting) was friendly and responded very quickly. The issue we had was the size of the washer/dryer and the fact that the dryer didn’t work. They did send a tech out while we were there and were very apologetic and nice, but couldn’t get it fixed at the time. It’s a very large place and accommodated our group of 14 nicely, but the washer/dryer just doesn’t match the house size. There were a couple of minor things the cleaning crew had overlooked, but nothing too major. Overall, I would recommend the house because if there is an issue, the host is very responsive and friendly; the location is out of town, but still close to everything; and the porch space is amazing. It’s a great place to relax.

from check-in to check out was really really great Ryan and his team were really responsive and kept us very informed and it's just a short trip to Gatlinburg I recommend this place to anyone

This is a great location that’s very close to downtown Gatlinburg. The neighborhood is a log home community that’s very pretty and peaceful. The host was very responsive with very straightforward communication. The negative about this property is that it needs some updating and a deep clean. The sofa and loveseat have both seen better days and are very uncomfortable to sit on. The beds need new mattresses they’re very uncomfortable. The pool table has stains on the felt where people have spilt stuff. The foosball table was broken. The biggest disappointment was the hot tub. We have a hot tub at home so maybe we’re spoiled but this one is really old. It’s missing the headrest and has no jet pressure. It needs to be replaced. The pictures, blinds and baseboards have a layer of dust. I understand that this is a vacation rental in a very popular tourist destination. I’m not trying to be negative just trying to give a honest opinion of this property. Hopefully the host will do some updates

My family and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at Ryan's cabin. The cabin comfortably accommodated the 14 of us very nicely. The hot tub and the wrap around porches were perfect for the evenings. The kids loved the game room. Ryan was very responsive. There was a minor issue with the toilet when we checked in and it was taken care of within an hour! We appreciated the last minute special request that was honored. The cabin is close to downtown, restaurants, and there are a few trolley stops nearby to save you money from parking downtown. Thanks so much for a great stay!
