What Wonderful Memories We Made
We so loved our stay in your beautiful cabin! Thank you for making sure we had everything we needed and more to make our time there so very comfortable! It certainly felt like home. Our kids are all older from ages 13 - 23 years and they all had a great time! We loved the view, the hot tub was incredible, the fire pit was a hit at night for smores and hotdogs, we had plenty of room for everyone to play games, and the memories made are worth more than anything! Hope we can return in years to come. Thank you for opening your home and being a blessing to others.

Perfect Place!
This cabin has it all! We loved the beautiful view and comfortable seating on the large, covered decks. We liked that it was on just 2 floors with lots of open living space, 2 large dining tables, and big comfy sofas. The bedrooms were all a nice size with good mattresses and well-covered windows. There is a huge closet off the master bedroom that easily accommodated a pack 'n play for the baby. The kitchen had everything we needed: lots of plates, glasses, small appliances, and large serving pieces. Wifi worked great and the second frig was a nice bonus. The location is ideal for Pigeon Forge and Townsend. It will be our new go-to spot for the whole family!

15th Anniversary
My wife and I had a wonderful time celebrating our 15th Anniversary at Golden Memories. The cabin is very conveniently located off 321. We love this location because of proximity to the National Park. The setting was very peaceful and the back deck was outstanding. Thank you for sharing this wonderful cabin. We already are looking forward to our next visit.

Heavan's View - Truly Heavenly!!!
We were 10 of us - a reunion of friends from different parts of the world. Couldn't have asked for a more fun and serene place to spend the week. The view and surroundings were simply breathtaking. The spacious cabin was easy to access and was equipped with everthing we needed to cook and enjoy our time together. The owners promptly responded to any questions we had. Would definitely recommend this cabin and look forward to returning here in the future.

Excellent location for visiting the Smoky Mountains!
When vacationing in the Smoky Mountains there are tons of cabins to choose from online, all claiming to be "the best". We had never been to the area before, so it was a bit stressful deciding where to stay, much less knowing if the accommodations were as represented on the website. We were pleasantly surprised with Family Memories! The location is perfect. Close enough to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the park entrances, yet far enough away from the crowds to be able to truly relax at night. The cabin was much bigger than we needed (only 2 of us) but we went with this one because of the fenced in yard for our pups traveling with us. Not having to walk them on leashes each time they need to do their business outside is a huge plus! If we ever venture to the Smoky Mountains again, we would definitely see if Family Memories was available to make more memories of our own.

Best vacation rental ever
Donn & Margaret, Thank you for getting our summer off to a great start. Our cabin rental was super easy. The self check-in was fast and convenient. The arrangement of the rental units maximized the privacy and restfulness of our stay. The cabin was more comfortable than what we expected based on the description. This was the best vacation rental I've ever done.

Wonderful Stay!
We very much enjoyed our stay in the Simply Golden Cabin! The cabin was very clean and we loved the decor. It was close by to all of the main attractions and just a short drive to Cades Cove! I told my husband multiple times I would love to take this cabin home with us to live in! A lot of space and very cozy! We will definitely be staying here again!

Beautiful experience!
Our family had a "siblings and spouses" retreat at Golden View Lodge. It was a perfect setting for us with beautiful vistas in a peaceful and quiet setting, yet with lots of entertainment just a short drive away. We had a wonderful time and hope to repeat the experience!

Breathtaking view and all the comforts
We have come back to Heaven's View 3 years in a row. You can't beat the view, and the house is clean, comfortable, well appointed, and conveniently located for hiking around Cade's Cover in the park. We love the hot tub and the pool table, but the highlight is lounging on the beautiful terrace after a day in the park.

Spectacular views and cabin!
This was our first time visiting the Smokies and had a wonderful time. The Simply Golden cabin was absolutely beautiful and the view was amazing. Wish it wouldn't had rained the whole time while we were there, but if you were going to have to spend it indoors this would be the place to stay. We will definitely be back, there's no need to look around anywhere else to stay.

Family Memories
This was our third time at this cabin and every time something is new for guests. This time there were very comfortable stuffed outside chairs on the front deck. The location, so close to Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a huge plus. We will be back again, Larry, Nancy, Maggie Mae, Teddy Bear

We spent our honeymoon here ... EXACTLY like the pictures, hot tub was amazing, the view spectacular, and the cabin so clean and beautiful. Loved that they had a helpful handbook with suggestions of things to do around towns nearby. We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful, beautiful, easy stay. Only one complaint ... we couldn't stay longer. Lol We will definitely return and book a longer stay next time! I would highly recommend this cabin or any other owned/operated by this amazing couple!

Family fun at Heaven's View Cabin
My sister and I brought 3 of our nieces to Wears Valley to tell them about their ancestors that came from that area. Fortunately, we found Heaven's View and what a view it was. From the deck, the beautiful mountains made a great show. Even though it rained everyday that we were there we had tremendous fun. Heaven's View was equipped with all the modern conveniences we needed and our stay was so comfortable and wonderful. Hopefully, we will be able to come again and thanks to Donn and Margaret for providing this great place.

This is an excellently situated cabin with a beautiful view. Our family has a reunion every year in a cabin near Smoky Mountain National Park and this is one of the best. Very clean. Easy access to the park for hiking. Plenty of space.

Great stay as usual
We were lucky enough to stay in the Family Memories cabin again, and I must say, it is difficult to leave. The views from the front porch are so amazing, I could sit there all day. The cabin is clean and has everything you need for a home away from home. Wears Valley is so beautiful and everyone is so nice. Best trip ever, until next time....

Just what we needed & more
This cabin was amazing from top to bottom and all the little extras being thought of. This is the perfect distance from main road allowing you to get to town quickly but provides a fantastic view of the mountains. The game room is spacious with everything you need. The hot tub is the cleanest one I've ever been in. The fenced in yard was great for our puppy. Not too many cabins have a fire pit and this allowed for us to extend our evenings outside. Comfy beds, spacious rooms, great open concept layout.....I could go on and on about this cabin. This is the 5th cabin we have rented in the Smokies and this cabin truly is perfect. My only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. Would definitely stay here again.

Golden View Lodge - Perfect!
Our family of 14, ages 3 to 73, were extremely pleased with the layout, the amenities, the cleanliness and the beautiful views surrounding the lodge. We tend to stay out of the crowds in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, and this Wears Valley location was perfect. We had easy access to the hiking trails in the national park, and found three great places to eat nearby on 321. Geppetto's Italian Restaurant and Elvira's Cafe both accommodated all 14 of us with hospitality and delicious food!

Amazing Views, Beautiful Clean Cabin
Donn & Margaret, thank you so much for allowing us to stay in Heavens View cabin for our first trip to the Smoky Mountains. It truly felt like home away from home with all the amenities provided. I also appreciate how clean it was! The views of the mountains were breathtaking and daily morning coffee on the deck looking out at them was certainly a highlight. The clean hot tub was relaxing after all the hiking and walking we did. It was great to grill food out on the deck, and have a full kitchen stocked with everything needed. There was plenty of room for the 7 of us to be spread out, the beds were firm yet comfortable, and the privacy we felt was the best. The paved road up the mountain was also a huge plus. We will definitely look to stay in your cabins again. I already miss it - the weather, the views, the welcoming town and wish we'd stayed longer!!

Great cabin, awesome setting!
We really enjoyed our stay at Black Bear Lodge! The cabin was very clean and well stocked with bedding, towels, etc. We loved the private drive/setting and enjoyed sitting on the porch and taking walks at night. The fire pit was fantastic! We used it almost every night and loved hearing the coyotes ??. Would stay again and would highly recommend to others. This cabin was close to everything we wanted to do; national park, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Cade's Cove, etc. Thanks so much!!

The makings of a Golden Memory
Not to long ago Breast Cancer invaded our house and our lives, along with that comes stress, anxiety , anger and fear. My wife is a "survivor" and this trip to the "Golden Memories" cabin was exactly what we needed. The beauty of Gods country is all around you.We brought our two small dogs, they enjoyed the open area and the Mountain scenery as much as we did. We spent a week in the mountains before I myself had to come home for heart surgery there was no better way to relax . A very comfortable and clean cabin, everything we needed and more than we expected. we will definitely recommend to all of our friends. thank you very much Donn & Margaret

Family Memories Cabin
We have stayed in this cabin previously and it was very clean and extremely nice. We dearly enjoy the view of the mountains from the front deck. The beds are very comfortable and we also enjoy the back yard. We enjoy this cabin the most of all of the cabins we have stayed in for vacation in the Smokey Mountains. We dearly love Wears Valley and when you stay in this cabin you are in the center of Wears Valley which is very peaceful and beautiful. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful cabin.

Amazing experience
I was able to locate the cabin in about 5 minutes. This is the first and best impression. The open concept of the cabin is unbelievable. We were in aww looking the Jacuzzi, bed, pool table, kitchen, dining area, living area and also the rest room. Please use of the space and an amazing appeal. The thing we can cherish for the entire life is to view the sun rise and moon rise while sleeping on the bed. Amazing amazing amazing. Definitely going to be back with an extended family soon

Golden View Lodge - Perfect home away from home
Thank you for another wonderful stay at Golden View Lodge. For the past 10 years we have had a girls weekend to celebrate my Grandmother's birthday, 4 daughters and 9 grand and great-granddaughters. This year she turned 88! This was our 2nd stay at Golden View and like the first time, it was wonderful! Very clean, well stocked and plenty of room! The only thing I can think of that could use some improvement is the shower heads in the bathrooms. Some of them spray weird, kinda like holding your thumb over the end of a water hose, it's sprays everywhere except where you want it! However, the shower heads definitely won't keep us from booking again...hopefully soon!!!
