Glory

Glory was the perfect setting for our family vacation. It was immaculate, spacious, offered spectacular views, and the location could not be beat. It was within walking distance to town, a quick drive to groceries, yet felt private and remote. The kids loved the pool, the hot tub, and theater/game rooms, while the adults enjoyed relaxing on the decks after days spent exploring the beautiful area. Justin was an attentive host who promptly responded to any questions or concerns I had. He seemed to genuinely care about our overall experience, checking in throughout our stay and offering local recommendations. Check-in/out was clear and couldn’t have been easier.
We would love to return in the future and make more family memories!

House matched the description online - pool is smaller than it looks but we kind of expected that. Huge, well stocked kitchen that made it easy to cook for a crowd with tons of storage in the walk in pantry. It was great having so many bathrooms for the number of beds and the beds themselves were super comfortable. The outdoor patios were great and very comfortable to hang out in. I would suggest adding a light to the steps outside because it’s kind of terrifying to go up and down them in pitch blackness on the very steep hill. I wouldn’t bring elderly to this home - very steep to park with a ton of stairs but it was great for our group.

Overall a 5 star experience. The home was great, Justin was a very responsive host, and the location was close enough (but not too close!). The only hiccup was the lack of transparency on the garage door to the pool not working as it was completely disconnected and rusted - which was a bummer but not the end of the world given how well everything else went. We’d stay again.

Beautiful place. Our group loved our time here. The top back porch is something from a movie. We would highly recommend this place!

Home is absolutely beautiful and set up perfect for multiple families/couples.. kids loved the pool (once we were able to get the water to a tolerable "heated" temp.!!) and the set up with the garage door opening onto the deck with the hot tub made for a nice family party area!! We were disappointed not to be able to use the upper deck outdoor gas fireplace because we could not get it to work and after a few back and forth communications we found out they were waiting for a part and it didn't work.. would have been nice to know up front!! But not a deal breaker!! We had warmer than usual weather anyway!! Justin was quick to respond and desling directly with the

So happy to see this, Lori! The pool is definitely the biggest hit, and you were a wonderful guest to communicate with -even with the firepit glitch, which has since been fixed. We welcome you back in 2025 for a repeat customer discount!

This house is better than the pictures! The amenities are great, the house was very clean and well stocked, and our family had a wonderful long weekend here. You can't beat the location, and we even found a local photographer to come and take our family photos here on the deck with the beautiful mountains in the background! We will definitely be back!

Wow, that's quite a compliment! Thanks for the wonderful feedback. The location to Gatlinburg truly can't be beat!

The home is lovely and in a great location! The host, Justin, was helpful and easy to contact. My husband and I, 3 grown kids, 2 spouses, and grandkids ages 5, 4, 2, and 11/2 had plenty of space to be together, but also enough room to enjoy some privacy. We loved the decks, especially for watching the 3 bears that visited most evenings. Pool and hot tub were great. The “constructive criticism” we can offer is 1) boosters for wi-fi since it only covered the main living area - none in master BR or upstairs and was spotty downstairs, 2) definitely could use new, larger towels for bathrooms and more than 1 dish towel for the kitchen, and 3) smaller pillows for the kids bunk room. We could have done without the hurricane but had a great time anyway!

I am so glad that you were able to enjoy your time here at our beautiful home. It's always fun seeing the bears at a safe distance! Thank you so much for your feedback and we have replaced the wifi boosters to ensure perfect coverage throughout the cabin and added additional linens and towels for all future guests. We hope that you'll come back and stay with us again! Thanks

This location was really fantastic. It was only a mile to the aquarium and even less for many other attractions. We ended up walking back to the house from the distillery and it wasn’t a bad walk at all. This house is located on a hill right near an undeveloped area, so there is lots of bear activity around here. The bears were not scared of people and came around when we were in the hot tub. One climbed the back gate, then went up the deck stairs to the upper level and sat outside the front door and stared at us for a few minutes. They don’t seem aggressive but it was very surprising the first time we saw one. There was at least one bear sighting per day while we stayed there, but honestly it was really cool to see them and was one of the highlights of our trip. The towel situation was kind of a bummer, only 1 towel provided per person even though we stayed 5 nights. The host did warn us about the towel situation ahead of time though, so thankfully we were able to bring our own extra towels and pool towels. The host provided a few rolls of toilet paper and a few trash bags, so we ended up having to go out and purchase more of those. There is a store 3 minutes away so it wasn’t a big deal. The host was very responsive and quickly helped with any problems that came up, and I really appreciate that. Overall, we had a great trip and would definitely stay here again. It’s truly a beautiful house!

We recently stayed at this wonderful Vrbo, and it exceeded all our expectations! It’s hard to get a large family with 5 kids ranging from few months to 20 years and college, so this was exactly what we needed given we needed to maximize our short time. The property is incredibly family-friendly, with a spacious layout that provided plenty of room for everyone. The highlight for us was the private swimming pool, perfect for relaxing and fun family activities. The arcade and ample space kept the kids entertained for hours. We were pleasantly surprised by how clean and well-maintained everything was, which made our stay even more comfortable. Location-wise, it couldn’t have been better. The property is tucked away in the mountains, giving us a sense of seclusion and tranquility. Yet, it was just a short drive to the downtown area, making it easy to explore local attractions. One of the most exciting moments was spotting a bear, which added a unique touch to our mountain getaway! The hosts were incredibly accommodating and quick to respond to any queries we had. Their attention to detail and hospitality truly enhanced our experience. Overall, this Vrbo provided a perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and entertainment. We highly recommend it to any family looking for a memorable vacation spot. We can't wait to come back!

The property was brand new. Very clean and organized. Step out of vehicle and enter the property. All the essentials are there to start, from toiletries, to coffee, to bedding, towels, grill. The host Justin was fantastic, very communicative. Checked on us through out our stay. Excellent views, close to everything. Was very impressed. Grocery store within 5 mins. you are 2 blocks from downtown Gatlinburg. We were there for the 4th of July and we saw the drone show and fireworks right from our balcony. When going back we will definitely stay at this property again. We had one day with bad weather but the kids had plenty to do to keep them occupied from the indoor pool to the games that are on site.
