What can you say... it's instantly home. Vern and the team don't make you feel at home or like family. You ARE home and with family. It's so peaceful and relaxing. The views are breathtaking and honestly I can't imagine a more perfect B&B. Apparently, I'm in good company as they have been thriving for decades. The evening desserts are legendary as are the breakfast. We had nanner puddin' one night as thry must have known that was my weakness. They also made some delicious cranberry cookies that everyone was devouring. There was also a apple cake that was exceptional. For breakfast we had a delightful soufflé one morning and Lisa's famous PB&J drizzled french toast the other. It was rich, tasty and looked like art! The walls are covered in Vern's art along with a section on the 2nd floor by Woods, Vern's son. Our family owns numerous pieces from Vern's collection and love finding the hidden fairies in his pieces. Finally the rooms. We absolutely LOVED our room! They are all beautifully appointed with a wonderful king sized bed, jacuzzi bathtub, fire place, A/C and monstrous balcony with swings and rocking chairs. If there's any question, it's the balcony that sets this place apart from the rest of the world. The view is exceptional and they know it. It's the perfect set up for a relaxing night listening to natures sounds, watching the smoke hide and uncover the mountains and relaxing with a cup of coffee. What makes Hippensteal so special: - The view - The house - The food - The people (Vern, his amazing team and the great folks you'll meet who are also staying at the inn).

My husband and I took a weekend getaway with our 8y/o son to this amazing B&B. The place was very well kept and everything (including the view) was beautiful. Very clean! The breakfast was the best I have ever eat and they even catered to my son making him hot chocolate and pancakes. They have a fresh dessert made for you in the kitchen after you come in from dinner each night. They make you feel like family, and you hate to leave when it's time to go. This was our first stay at Hippensteal's, but I hope it is not the last! I cannot wait to book our next visit here!

French toast is truly unique and expertly made like everything at Hippensteal's!

We spent 4 nights at Hippensteal's in late November 2018. We were amazed by the accommodations, the food and the staff. We went to Hippensteal's to complete our first marriage retreat and to celebrate our 30th anniversary. (The retreat material was from Marriage Today if you want to know more.) The staff expertly handled any of our requests. Vern was just a joy to speak with and was so knowledgeable about the Smokies. Cannot wait to schedule a return trip next year! You will not regret a decision to spend some time at Hippensteal's Mountain View Inn. Our stay was truly amazing!

Gorgeous rooms, stunning views (no matter which room), 5 star food and service. Every single detail is elegant. Only a few miles from downtown Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, but feels like you're on your own private mountain. I cannot recommend this B&B enough.

View from the porch. We stayed in Summer's Lace.

Quaint, beautiful, and simply amazing! The owners Lisa and Vern are so welcoming and make each guest feel special. We were most recently there for our 10th year anniversary. It's where we had spent our first night after our wedding. We keep asking ourselves why did it take so long to come back. We won't take as long for our next stay!!

It starts with graciousness and warmth from Vern and Lisa, the owners and passed down to the rest of the staff.

If you are self-managing your short term rental cabin in the Smokies your cleaning / handyman crew…read moreis the most important hire you will make. I'm a new cabin owner in the Smokies. I can't say enough good things about Mandy and Billy Gerken and their cleaning / handyman company. Without a dedicated, professional, high quality team like these guys I don't think it would be possible to remotely manage my cabin as successfully as I have. In less than 90 days of operation I have achieved Airbnb's "Superhost" status, and earned 16 nearly all 5-star reviews from guests. Many of my guests have remarked how clean and organized my cabin is. "Extremely clean" "Very clean, cabin feel" "We appreciate how clean the cabin was" "The cabin was extremely clean and organized" And for the Yelp Mafia who hid my last review for being fake, I invite you to go to my Airbnb listing to see these glowing reviews airbnb . com /h/libertyhaven What my guests' don't know is how much work Mandy and Billy and their team did to get my new cabin rent ready. Not only did they drive all over Sevier County to different Home Depot's and Lowe's and Walmarts picking up and shopping for stuff the cabin needed, much of which they recommended (e.g. bigger cooking pots, some throw rugs, bathroom mats, etc) but they assembled and installed tons of stuff like the blinds and drapes, the rocking chairs, the CO2 detectors, the dedicated laptop workstation, carpenter bees traps, string lighting, illuminated address plaque, etc. Every time I ship something new to their house, they bring it to the cabin, set it up, and send me a (very reasonable) invoice. Are these guys more expensive than some other cleaners in the area? Yes. In fact they were 5 times more expensive than the lowest bid I got from a bid site (like Angie's List or something like that). But I simply pass their cleaning fee on to my guests AFTER I mark it up by $49. So not only are they a SOURCE of revenue for me, they actually SAVE me A LOT of money. If I didn't have this incredible team (and they are the most important members of my short term rental cabin team) on the ground, I would have to hire an expensive old skool property management company. Looking at the low star reviews of competing neighboring cabins, nearly all of them are managed by property management companies. Low ratings on Airbnb is slow death. People won't book a low rated, dirty cabin. And eventually Airbnb will delist you. If you're planning on managing your Airbnb VRBO cabin remotely (and why would you not?) HIRE THESE GUYS. They will save you money. They will EARN you money. And you'll sleep well knowing they are on top of everything because they are very experienced, consumate professionals, as good as it gets.

Ive been many many times and it never disappoints. It's a outdoor and indoor water park connected to a MASSIVE hotel so you can play all day, spend the night, and play some more before leaving! 10/10 experience every time, you guys definitely gotta try it!

Our experience at Wilderness at the Smokies was unfortunately disappointing due to ongoing room…read moreissues. The water park facilities themselves were great, we got a Cabana for the day , the service was great the food was average but consistently served hot and reasonably priced 5/5 stars. Had it not been for the room problems, this easily would have been a 5-star visit. The rooms, however, were lackluster at best. The beds were comfy, pillows were thin and horrible, but I bring my own pillows for a reason We were initially placed in a room with a leaking refrigerator that gave off a strong sour milk odor. Staff was called and came up with the bright idea of applying disinfectant and assured us the room "should be good," but the smell now became" lavender flavored sour milk" and never improved. After nearly 20 hours we were finally moved to the room across the hall. While the second room was somewhat better, we were still greeted by that same sour mold smell every time we stepped into the hallway. Eventually, day 3 we requested yet another room. Three rooms in three days is simply too much moving for anyone trying to enjoy a vacation. They should have never put anyone in the initial room to begin with. Because of this and the repeated room issues and the disruption to my vacation they caused, I have to give this stay 0 stars for accommodations, despite the otherwise enjoyable facilities and dining experience. Overall 3 star visit.

I was in Pigeon Forge for the first time to run in the inaugural Run Dollywood Half Marathon…read more Staying here in nearby Sevierville was nice. The location of the resort was super convenient with a lot of restaurant options just a short drive away. My small little suite had a kitchenette. If I wanted to do a little cooking, there was a Walmart just down the street. The layout of my unit was a bit oddly shaped. It barely had enough room for all of the furniture. Overall, I had a nice restful stay and got to visit Dollywood. However, now the least fun part about staying here was the dreaded owner update. I absolutely cannot stand this part about my ownership. They continue to have their concierge at all properties say anything and everything just to get you to attend one. If their goal was to piss off all of their owners, they are doing a great job. They really need to rethink their strategy!

Everything worked and the ice maker made ice fast (surprised me)- LOL. Our bed was super comfortable and it was quiet at night. Disclaimer - We were here in February so not crowded. Great location to the National Park and restaurants. Decent gym (3 treadmills. Weights) Pool & Hottub (heated) was very nice & I had to myself (Feb) views were nice. Construction area in back of our building (no activity) Overall a very good visit to the area, comfortable, clean and friendly staff.

This place is very relaxing to stay in. We are not packed in like most RV places we have stayed…read morein. Two pools, one climate controlled for big kids and a small lazy river for the smaller ones. Also a variety of pull through or back in spots are available. Well thought out lay out with all spots on concrete slabs. Also two dog parks for those of us who have fur buddies. A gym and a small arcade. If you stay here I am sure you will enjoy a quiet restful stay, we have the last two stays!!

Do not stay here in the winter!!!…read more We stayed at The Ridge Outdoor RV Resort and unfortunately, for the price, this was a huge disappointment. I'll start with the only positive: the pads are nice and level, and our fifth wheel parked easily. That's about where the positives end. What they don't tell you when you book--and pay well over $100 per night--is that the hot tub closes every single day at 6:00 PM during the winter. There are no signs anywhere stating this. We showed up night after night thinking something was wrong before finally asking, only to be told, "Oh yeah, it closes at 6 in the winter." That makes absolutely no sense. Most adults use a hot tub at night, after a full day of activities--especially when visiting the mountains. If I wanted to sit in a hot tub during the day, I wouldn't have traveled to Sevierville/Pigeon Forge in the first place. This felt like false advertising, as we always choose campgrounds specifically because they have a hot tub--and we were unable to enjoy it when it actually matters. Next issue: the laundry facilities. We intentionally booked a site close to one of the two laundromats. Unfortunately, the card-only washers and dryers do not work. Staff is well aware of this and said it's been an ongoing issue, yet it hasn't been resolved. At one point, we were told another guest was charged $90 while machines repeatedly said "declined." There is one washer and one dryer that you can use--but they're double the price, and you'd have to wash everything together (colors, whites, towels, jeans--all in one load). Completely unacceptable. We also expected at least some activities in the clubhouse, especially for kids, as many resorts with large clubhouses offer. There were no activities at all. Bottom line: this resort charges premium pricing but offers very few conveniences. If I want no amenities and no nighttime hot tub, I can stay somewhere else for $50 a night. This stay felt like a complete waste of money. Needless to say, when we return to the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge area, we will not be staying at The Ridge again.
