Life is Good

If you want the fun of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg with the comfort of a smaller town with more local options, this cabin is the place to stay. Clean, spacious, and true to the listing it’s a great place to rest and recover from your TN expeditions. The spacious living room leads right to the upper deck giving plenty of space for your group to gather. The lower deck leads to the hot tub and has plenty of outdoor seating for meals or relaxing. The covered hot tub makes it great to use rain or shine. The view is incredible and it is very quiet. When the clouds are low you feel like it’s just you on the mountain. But when they lift, you can see far but still feel secluded and immersed in nature. The host was very responsive before and during the stay. Would recommend and come back again.

This property was located in a charming, quaint little town set perfectly in the mountains and just a short drive to the hustle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

This was a wonderful place to stay at! Although there is a few things that just needed to be upgraded, as in the microwave ( handle was broken and glass moved) and the back glass outside door the stopping part was so loose it broke. This place was far beyond amazing! Also we saw a bear! It was to close for comfort, as in tried getting in our car while loading up to leave!Parking: very easy and flat to park enough to pull in for two cars and pull in long ways as well. Hot tub is on the bottom floor so you have to go outside and walk down a couple flights of steps. Overall this was a wonderful experience and place to rent! Highly recommend

Cabin was set up well to give kids their own area downstairs while the adults did our own thing upstairs. Good amount of room for 8 of us.

The house was beautiful, everything we needed was right there even a pack and play. It’s like they knew us and stocked the house just for us. We had a great little getaway.

Beautiful cabin, lots of room to spread out. Kids loved the pool table and arcade game. We saw bears 3 days at the cabin. Would definitely return!

We enjoyed our long weekend at this cabin. It was very quiet and easy access to Townsend, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. It was a nice setup and the lower level was perfect for my son and family to have some privacy away from the rest of the family at times.

The cabin met our needs perfectly for our sons destination wedding in the Smokeys. Everything was perfect. The road is somewhat steep and parking is limited, but those are small things. Great stay!

We spent a wonderful weekend in the Life Is Good cabin. The owner was quick to answer my questions and easy to communicate with. Checking in and out was a breeze. The cabin was in a great location right in the heart of Wears Valley and easily accessible. It was clean and the beds were comfy and we all slept well. The master bath was a little small but functional. The air conditioning works great and had upstairs and downstairs thermostats which is a big plus. The kitchen was well laid out and stocked. We loved having an upstairs and downstairs family room and the TVs were great. We enjoyed our time on the porch… sipping coffee and rocking and swinging in the hammocks and watching the sunset. We saw a mama bear on the property every day and spotted a juvenile one day. We recommend this cabin and the hosts!

We enjoyed our stay. Saw a bear right in the driveway. Really nice views from the back deck. Had everything we needed.

We had an absolutely wonderful time! The cabin is spacious and beautiful! We did see bears while we were there and it was very exciting and we’ll have memories to share for a lifetime. My wife, son and his wife with 4 teenage grandsons did three days at Dollywood while we were there. The Cabin is located in a small very private area on the side of the mountain. the multi-level decks are great! grandsons loved the pool table and video game; Host was in touch as needed with messages of things to do in the area and to advise us about the bears. We hope to be back! Thanks so much! Ron

We had a great visit. This location is perfect for those that don’t want to be right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of pigeon forge and Gatlinburg but want to be close enough to enjoy all there is to offer! We were just a short pleasant 10-15 min drive to the island in Pigeon Forge. Cabin was clean and well appointed! We were a group of 2 families with 5 adults and 4 pre-teen/teenagers and everyone had plenty of space to spread out. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Wanted to find a place to stay with the in-laws and show them around. The cabin was great. Really enjoyed how separated the upstairs and downstairs were for those who wanted to stay up a little later

This place was everything in the pictures and was perfect for our family vacation! It was nice to have separate spaces in the house while still being able to spend time together. The host was very responsive to questions we had prior to our trip and very friendly! Highly would recommend this place to anyone staying in the Smokey mountains!

But I'm thrilled it didn't detract from your experience. You're always welcome back for another visit! Thanks again for choosing to stay with me.

Justin's cabin was perfect for our weekend visit to Wears Valley. The cabin was very clean and easy to find. It was a short distance to shopping in Wears Valley and Pigeon Forge. The children enjoyed playing pool and watching the big screen TV in the basement. Bunk beds were a big hit for the little ones, too. Justin was very helpful and responsive prior to and during the visit. I will definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the space downstairs was perfect for the kids to play pool and video games. We really enjoyed the neighborhood and the closeness to all the attractions. The cabin offered a great Smoky mountain experience that we were looking for and will definitely be back if we are in the area again!

Hi, Shiann. We appreciate your feedback! Delighted to hear you had a great time at the cabin, with comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen. The kids enjoyed the space downstairs, adding to the overall positive experience. Should your future plans lead you back to the area, we'd be more than happy to welcome you again!

Justin was friendly and quick to respond to all messages. The cabin was perfect for a week getaway, and offered more than the typical AirBNB. The wifi was just as bad as the picture warned, but you can go down to Elviras and use theirs. (Works ok for Netflix) I recommend locking your vehicle, as a bear was clever enough to let itself in the back of my jeep. Luckily he was disappointed and didn’t so much as leave a scratch. (Just muddy paw prints) I would definitely return to this beautiful cabin.

Hi Aaron, Thanks for the great review! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and found the cabin to be perfect for your week getaway. I apologize for the wifi being bad, unfortunately it's something I'm unable to control. I'm glad to hear that the bear didn't do any damage to your vehicle and I'll be sure to remind guests to lock their cars when visiting. Thanks for your visit and I hope to see you again soon!

Our stay was great and cozy! We will definitely rebook with Justin. He was always very responsive if I reached out.
