Our stay at Sunshine & Whiskey cabin was fantastic! Justin, was incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful. The cabin was beautiful, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed playing games of pool. The bar area with a beverage fridge was a great touch, and the arcade provided extra fun. The king-size bed was super comfortable, and having TVs in every room was a nice convenience. After a long day exploring, soaking in the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind. Plus, the location was ideal—just minutes from great restaurants and attractions.
We loved our stay and would definitely recommend Sunshine & Whiskey cabin for a relaxing getaway in Pigeon Forge!

Cozy cabin, Excellent location
We recently stayed for a long weekend to celebrate a birthday. I would give the location 10 stars if I could! The closeness to all the attractions and being in the front of the neighborhood make it an easy in and out. I do have a concern with the parking…the slab to the right of the cabin has no barrier or curb to prevent from over accelerating down a very steep hill. It would be ok if the slab was bigger, but we were barely able to fit a truck on there, without the bed being in the street. Otherwise, the cabin has everything you need. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms are downstairs from the kitchen lounge area, which is where we hung out the most due to seating. This may be something to consider, as we had grandparents with us. The hot tub and pool/games were great amenities, although the pool table is in pretty rough shape. The beds were comfortable. The smaller room was big enough for a larger bed, but comfortable! Staying in January, the cabin heated up very fast, which was definitely a perk! We had one small issue with the porch light and it was resolved very quickly. The host and team were very responsive and nice. Overall, we had a great stay!

End of school getaway
Perfect little getaway for our family of four. Plenty of room for everyone. All the conveniences of home with full kitchen and washer/dryer. The kids loved the hot tub and the community pool being only two cabins down. Only downside is the pool was not cleaned at all and we had to skim the bugs & dirt out before entering. We loved the pizza place at the end of the road especially after a long drive. Best part truly was *location* all attractions and restaurants were under 5 miles. We will return again :)

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Andria! I'm delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your getaway. It's always a joy to know that my guests feel at home and appreciate the amenities my property offers. I'm sorry about the issue with the pool cleanliness—I'll definitely follow up with management on that. Nevertheless, I'm glad it didn't detract from your overall experience! I agree, Sunshine and Whiskey's location is truly special. I look forward to hosting your next visit to the Smokies! Safe travels!

19th Anniversary Trip
Very nice with unique floor plan. Began with tvs not working but property management fixed issue by the next morning. Cabin was clean but needed a good mopping especially the bathroom areas. Location was close to parkway which with unpredictable weather in February is a good idea. Would definitely recommend.

Hi there, Shelly! Thanks for leaving a review. I'm glad you enjoyed the unique layout of Sunshine and Whiskey. We're glad we were able to. I'll pass on your feedback about the mopping to our cleaners. Thanks for recommending us, and I hope to see you again soon!
