"House was perfect for our crew... we used everything -- the pool, hot tub, fire pit, and all the games upstairs. Everything was clean and comfortable. So many kitchen amenities. It was a good location between Pigeon Forge and Downtown Gatlinburg. It was beautifully perched in the mountains, but the drive up and down was a little scary in places with no guardrails. Driveway is super steep, which could be problematic for some people. We were able to get up with 4 wheel drive. We had two cars parked there, but can't imagine fitting any more. All in all, a nice house for a fun vacation!"

"This cabin was beyond perfect, there was so much room throughout the cabin and the views were beautiful. I definitely will end up going back. The firepit adds a nice touch out on the balcony. Also the staff was so helpful throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this cabin for anyone even if you have kids!"

"This was the best vacation spot I have ever been too. This was our kids first vacation. We did not want to leave. Everything was perfect! We will be coming back and we already recommended it to many! Several people have gotten the information from us! Thank you!"
"The property has amazing views and amenities. The drive up to the property is steep so if you an unfamiliar with driving in the mountains I would highly recommend 4×4 and doing so during before sundown."
"We had the most amazing time at Whitney’s Way! The incredible amenities and views allowed us to enjoy much-needed family time and relaxation. We’ll treasure the memories we made and hope more families get the chance to have the same experience we did! Thank you!!"
"I stayed at Whitney's Way Located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee In the Area of Chalet Village. We were a family of 7 kids and 4 adults. The cabin was beautiful inside and out. As soon as you open the front door you see the beautiful fireplace with the indoor pool in view. The had a large eat in kitchen and seats at the counter. The outside deck has a fire pit seating area and the hot tub. The is also a full bath located down stairs. The property had a large built in tv in the living room area and the two bedrooms upstairs also had them and the bunk area had one. There was a total of 8 places to sleep. We enjoyed every moment at the home. Just be careful of the steep driveways. I would totally recommend this place and would book it again."
"This house is a must see/experience! We stayed at the top of the mountain last year and we had a better view but this house offers so much more! Shuffle board, video games, pool table, swimming, air hockey, hot tub, fully loaded kitchen, reading areas and state of the art air conditioning. It was so nice that two days we didn’t leave the house! I was able to relax, unwind and read while the kids played! Thank you for offering us your home!"
"The driveway is steep! You will make it, don’t be scared! The cabin is updated inside & out! The windows are large & very much appreciated. We used all amenities, the pool, hot tub, fire pit, game room. Honestly we really could’ve stayed there each day vs exploring Gatlinburg. There’s several ways to get to Gatlinburg from the cabin. Our favorite was where you are eye to eye with the top of Anakeesta across the canyon! So fun!"
"Was a great and convenient stay as we celebrated a 3rd Birthday!"
"It was wonderful. Except for the steep incline to get to the cabin."
