Although we have been to Pigeon Forge and Cherokee before, this was our first visit to Gatinburg proper. This condo did not disappoint. If you've never been to Gatlinburg, you cannot have an appreciation for its location which is truly ideal. Gatlinburg is not necessarily a place you want to live, but it is a great place to visit. The condo is only one block from the main drag, which is a crazy and loud world, but the one block is a world away with the serene brook and trees all around. We had a large, hungry bear come visit virtually every day. We walked to everything, from restaurants to attractions to the National Park. It was so nice to return back to the condo after a long day out. The condo is perfectly sized for a couple, with virtually every amenity we needed. The owner has done a very good job refurbishing the place: from the king bed to the modern bathroom to the kitchen (we used every appliance) and comfortable living space. Little things matter to us: an elevator (actually two), carts to haul our stuff, an ice machine, and a pool. We hope to return and enjoy this condo again!
