We've been staying with Outrageous Cabind for over 20 years (before it was Outrageous.) This was…read morewhere we spent our honeymoon (well Gburg actually - in an old run down cabin that wasn't theirs). I don't even know if this place was around then. That was 41 years ago but we spent time up here for our 40th anniversary this year - using them exclusively since we found them about 20 years ago. I think the ownership went thru change since we've been coming here but we exclusively and use them at least 3-4 times a year. Their special for last minute trips is incredible. After 20 years, 3-4 times a year (so we've stayed in most of them), each one has always been clean as a whistle. We have figured that we have stayed with them over 60 trips. At least. We've never stayed with anyone else the past 20 years! Our favorite place is at the top of the mountain at the water tower. However three of the four we always stayed at and liked the best, all but one was burned down in the Gatlinburg Fire of 2016. It burned down to their concrete footprint. They finally got one of them rebuilt and just opened back up so we are leaving Friday to go there. It's at the very top of the mountain and you can see for miles and miles. Yet it is only 5 min from the Parkway, behind Dollywood. You would think a cabin on the to of the mountain with its incredible view would be miles from the Parkway but it's only a short 5-8 minutes. I can never praise their staff enough. They are awesome people to work with. Some of our favorite restaurants we never miss are the Applewood for bfast, Guy Fieri's restaurant and arcade ( this is awesome and relatively new and great to go because there is a Crumbl and Ice Cream shop next door that are for that sweet tooth we always seem to get worse up there), Chop House, Cherokee Grill (Gburg), Ogles Farmers Kitchen ( I think this is the name. It right close to going in for Applewood. We've just recently found this and have been multiple times), The Pottery Barn Cafe is usually our first place we hit coming into town. There is also Paula Deens, Chop House, and Johnny Carino's. This is just for starters. Stay here and you won't regret it!!!

Our family spends Labor Day weekend together in Gatlinburg every year--17 of us traveling from…read moreTennessee, Ohio, Alabama, and Kentucky. We don't come for the attractions; we come to spend three days together under one roof, so for us, the cabin IS the vacation. We had previously stayed with American Patriot Getaways and had been trying to book Don't Blink for two years, specifically because of the bowling alley and game room. Last year, I booked it the day reservations opened--a full year in advance. Our kids and grandkids had been looking forward to it ever since. Don't Blink is marketed as a "Luxury Plus" property, with the private bowling alley prominently featured. We paid $4,546 for our three-night Friday-to-Monday stay. At 11 a.m. Friday, we received a text saying the cabin was ready early. When we arrived around 4 p.m., however, we immediately discovered the bowling alley and skee-ball machine had no balls and were unusable. I called immediately and was initially told maintenance might come that evening or Saturday morning. No one came Friday. Saturday morning passed with no technician and no proactive communication. When I called again around noon Saturday, I was told they "only have one maintenance technician," it was Labor Day weekend, and other cabins had more serious problems, including guests without water. Of course guests without water should be prioritized. But having only one maintenance technician available during a busy holiday weekend is the company's staffing problem, not the customer's. If you rent this many cabins during a holiday weekend, you should have the resources to support them. I called AGAIN later Saturday and asked for a manager. Instead of a call, I received a TEXT saying a manager wasn't available and someone would contact me after the weekend. Maintenance finally arrived around 5 p.m. Saturday--approximately 25 hours after we reported the problem. Previous guests had apparently jammed the bowling balls in the machine. The technician fixed it and returned the skee-ball balls. Things break. We understand that. What I don't understand is why this wasn't discovered before a cabin marked "ready" was turned over to the next guests--especially when it involved one of the property's signature amenities. More importantly, it was the customer service that made this experience so disappointing. There was no urgency or proactive communication. We made every follow-up call and were made to feel as though expecting the amenities we paid for to work was unreasonable. After our stay, a supervisor texted and offered $350 for the inconvenience. I declined. This wasn't about trying to get money back. We paid $4,546 for three nights in a "Luxury Plus" cabin. I don't think expecting a clean, properly inspected property, working advertised amenities, and responsive customer service is unreasonable. There were cleanliness and maintenance issues as well. Half the TV remotes didn't work, the master bathroom smelled like urine, one bed still had candy wrappers in it, and our feet were black from the floors each day. The trash bin was also far too small for a cabin accommodating up to 22 people, and guests must call to request pickup--another unnecessary inconvenience for a large-group property. We didn't expect perfection. Equipment breaks and holiday weekends are busy. What matters is how a company responds. Seventeen members of our family traveled from four states for a weekend we'd planned a year in advance. The bowling alley was eventually fixed, but American Patriot Getaways' response--and the feeling that our concerns simply didn't matter--is what I'll remember most. For $4,546 and a property marketed as "Luxury Plus," both the cabin and the customer service fell far short of reasonable expectations.

PROS/CONS-Smokey Mountain Memories-15 bedroom…read more Let me start off with the CONS: This isn't exactly a CON but something to be aware of, the roads are windy and sharp, and everyone seems to drive rather fast around the windy and sharpen curves. On some roads there are mirrors to see individual vehicles as you navigate the roads but not a lot. The family drove cars, and SUV's, which was no issue getting to the cabin, (but during the winter you may want to double check how you are getting to the cabin as far as what to drive). Once the family made it to the Cabin they were apprehensive to leave because of the windy, sharp curves of the roads. I would ensure my vehicle had good tires, brakes, and no transmission issues. The picture of the outside of the Cabin isn't what is was shown online. I believe it was an earlier photo, as it shows green grass almost like sod, and from the pictures we thought the surface to park was flat. It is an incline, we parked along the sides of the driveway and got 11 vehicles parked, it isn't flat as i noted above make sure you have good brakes. That was no issue for us , just something to be aware of if you have a larger family who all drive from all areas. There are 2 charcoal grills, this something we weren't aware of, from what we were told when i called, i was told the grills would be propane and we didn't bring charcoal, which isn't a big deal, it takes about 15-20 min to get down to the bottom of the mountain to Walmart. The pictures that you see online are propane grills attached to the cabin. Just bring charcoal if any out door cooking. Did not like the 2 Jacuzzi's that did not work sitting in the front/side of the cabin, it takes away from the cabin, in my opinion, it looks like they are permanent fixtures. We had a few maintenance issues/ door to the roof not opening water dripping from upstairs they sent someone to fix the issue quickly. That was great. PROS: Check-in had no issues. The Cabin accommodated our large family with plenty of space on the inside, 2 dishwashers, 2 large refrigerators, 4 microwaves, 3 stoves, 1 that the fixture had to be fixed, we only needed to use 2 of the stoves. The kitchen was stocked pretty well with what we needed to cook. Plenty of space to eat and move about and enjoy the mountains on the covered deck. No complaints. Bedrooms were spacious loved that they all came with bathrooms, and TV's no one had to share.. However there were 2 rooms that had no tv, they were the bunkbed rooms upstairs. The view on the roof top was beautiful you can see the city view with the added telescope and this is where the 2 Jacuzzi's are located. The 2 jacuzzis could have been cleaner. The indoor pool are was very nice, and a bathroom was located in the pool area. Washer/dryer was utilized, along with game room downstairs a plus. The biggest add on bonus that i did not see from the pictures was the drink machines, just like the fast food establishment this was a big plus, never ran out of drinks. Last but not least, we got visitors all 3 days, we stayed, the first bear we saw when driving up to the cabin walking up the road in front of our vehicle. The others made a guest appearance around the cabin. All in all a successful trip.

Where to begin.... ok first a recommendation, if staying in these cabins you must bring all…read moreessentials. The cabin does not provide basics so do not expect coffee packs or salt for cooking. The only items available are dining wear, everything else must be supplied by the visitor. So, for the stay, our stay was subpar. All the issues listed below were reported during the stay, but no response or corrective action was received. We left a day early and stayed near the airport for a day of comfort. Here are a few of the highlights. -The single comforter provided had visible holes, indicating poor maintenance. -Dust was present on all surfaces above five feet, suggesting that cleaning was superficial and limited to only easily reachable areas. -The washing machine operated only with hot water, limiting its functionality. -The dishwasher, while operational, had melted racks, making it impractical for proper loading and cleaning. -The pool table had tears in the fabric, rendering it unsuitable for use. -The arcade game machine's joysick only functioned intermittently and supported single-player mode only. -The jacuzzi was visibly dirty, containing unknown debris and oily residue, making it unsanitary and unusable. Now for the last is actually the biggest, security: Upon check-in, the company took a photocopy of our credit card--both front and back. In 2026, this practice is outdated and poses a significant security risk. Due to the exposure of full card details, we had to cancel and replace our credit cards immediately upon returning home. This experience fell significantly below expected standards for a rental cabin, particularly in terms of upkeep, cleanliness, guest support, and data security but yes, the mountains are nice and I enjoyed the view.

Next to a brook that made it very peaceful. -Cabin was clean and well-maintained -Rain shower was very nice -Hot tub was refreshing on the first night Cons: -The sink was covered in ants when we woke up the first morning, so I had to buy some traps -The pull-out couch was very uncomfortable (although there is a warning about this) -The hot tub was small (I knew it was a two person tub but I still thought it would've been bigger). It also lost water by Friday evening, so I had to fill it with the hose. It did eventually heat back up but it took hours. - The WiFi was just okay. There were times I wasn't sure it was working. -The TV wouldn't work the first night. I did some updates and I was able to get Netflix mostly working but the other apps required a login -The firepit area was not very well maintained. There were weeds and the stumps for seats were falling apart. -We had to drive to the pool. I didn't realize that the pool was so far away; I thought we could've walked to it when I booked the cabin. Overall, I give this cabin a B+. I probably would've given it a B but we saw a small bear on the property which was really cool, so it got a +. Great location, would've been very romantic if I was there with my wife and not my son. The cabin was really neat and it was fun that it was a "treehouse". Sidenote: We did book some activities with the Xplorie discount. They were really good deals. If you want rafting, I would book the upper river though. I booked the lower river because it seemed more family friendly, but it was really just floating down the river. My son said it was a little boring. And if you are looking for a hike, I recommend Grotto Falls.

The cabin was comfortable enough- there are several different levels of floor so lots of trip hazards, some doors that don't close great, and the location is interesting. I wouldn't call it quiet- for our stay a neighbor was out shooting most nights and on the other side is a rooster that crows each morning. The beds were very comfortable. The water is extremely sulfurous- I would plan on brushing your teeth with bottled water. We were mostly at the cabin only to sleep and it was great for that. It is very accessible to the greater pigeon forge area. Again, the Bear Camp folks were great, answered our questions, and were very responsive so overall definitely positive. I would consider staying with Bear Camp again, maybe not in this particular cabin.

The facility itself was exactly what we expected it to be - a rustic lodge overlooking some beautiful mountain views. The wedding definitely turned out to be memorable, and that is the important thing! The only "challenge" with this venue is the next-door neighbors, who clearly have issues living in proximity to a commercial resort. This was made evident by the posted signs viewable from the rear balconies whereby the neighbors indicated something about the need for guests to keep noise down and be respectful because people live here, etc. Well ... these same neighbors were plainly resentful of the fact that normal party music was played at the wedding reception (music that properly ended at 10:30 pm) and were intent on underscoring the point by BLARING loud outdoor radio music until 2:30 AM and then starting up again at 5:30 AM so as to disturb the guests' ability to sleep. Needless to say, my wife and I were happy to leave this establishment bright and early the next morning. I get it, and it should come to no one's surprise, there are a few "Hatfield and McCoy"-types up in 'dem 'der hills. However, I do believe the resort has some obligation to deal with this problem in a meaningful way, for the benefit of all prospective guests.

Could have used some towel cleaning since we are staying 9 days, still have some days to go so we will see. The hot tub is super fresh and clean and it has a Tv too, that's a big yes for me! My only problem is the kitchen. It's horrible... the worst appliances I ever used (ok almost). The knives are a joke, I can't cut anything, oh wait doesn't matter there is no cutting board. No extra paper towels or trash bags. Fine but you could have told us... the faucet comes loose every time you turn the water on and half of the cabinets need to be re-hinged. When cooking for 9 people the kitchen is kind of important. They have a pool and "game room" and a mini grill open on the property, it's not really for me but I could see people liking it. Cabin is supposed to have parking for 5 cars but that must be very small cars, I would say 4. The views are amazing and you are very close to the happenings. Dollywood is 20 mins away.
