Wonderful Stay!

The cabin was super clean, modern and perfect for our family of 4! We enjoyed being close to town but still having the privacy of a cabin. Don’t hesitate to book here if you are exploring Gatlinburg with your family!

another great stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Once again Mtn Laurel Chalets did not disappoint. the whole experience was perfect. Secret Hideaway was amazing, from the easy access, although the driveway is steep, to the view and topnotch appliances. The home was clean and well maintained. We did have a problem with hot tub but with MLC's amazing customer service it was taken care of less than two hours. The man they sent was there in ten minutes, the hot tub guy showed up shortly after both men were a pleasure to talk to. Thank you, MLC for another wonderful visit to Tennessee and to all of your staff for their exceptional efforts to ensure we had a great vacation. I highly recommend Mtn Laurel Chalets and Secret Hideaway to anyone looking to stay in Gatlinburg. This is our third year in a row staying with MLC. Why go anywhere else?

Great modern cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon for a week and loved it. We plan on coming back and renting it again. We did not see any bears at this cabin but there are plenty in Gatlinburg so keep and eye out. View was great, a lot of privacy. It’s very close to the strip also. Loved it!
