My family had a great time at the Family Memories cabin in Wears Valley. The cabin was clean, and looked exactly like the pictures we saw online. Beds were comfortable and the walk in shower was very nice to use. Enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. We had a minor issue with the grill running out of gas, but after emailing Donn, he had 2 full tanks delivered by the next morning. We also enjoyed the nearby swimming pool, very nice pool. The cabin was easy to find, after a picturesque drive from Pigeon Forge into Wears Valley. We had meals at nearby Elvira's Cafe and Hillbilly's restaurant, both were very good. I'd recommend the cabin to anyone...5 stars!

Girls trip last year, family trip this year. Perfect place for both gatherings! The view can't be beat.

Our group of 10 had plenty of room at the house. The house was clean and had everything that we needed in it. The views were amazing you sat on the porch or looked out the windows and you had a beautiful view of the mountains. The cabin is close to attractions and the Smoky Mountains National Park. I would definitely recommend the Golden View Lodge to anyone with a group of people plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. I would definitely book this cabin. 5 Stars

We loved this cabin! It is secluded,but not far from attractions.It is up to date,with plenty of room for our group of 9. Upon arrival the cabin was very clean,grass freshly mowed,outside areas were clean. We will definitely stay in this cabin again in the future.

This place was AWESOME! We had 10 people stay and it was pretty comfortable. Loved the privacy and the fire pit! Very close to so many activities!!

Wonderful accommodations and views. The resident black bear "Mason", named by my granddaughter, greeted us upon arrival. Cabin had everything we needed except maybe a screwdriver, hammer and a pair of scissors. Pool was refreshing and close by. We enjoyed tubing, mountain roller coaster and the Titanic Museum. Great restaurants and delicious food also nearby. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and highly recommend to fellow travelers.

We absolutely loved everything about Golden Memories Cabin. We are 63 years old and we've been married for 43 years. We have traveled a good bit over the years, but never stayed in a Cabin while vacationing. Staying at Golden Memories Cabin was the best thing we could have done. The Cabin was very beautiful, clean and very well equipped with everything we needed. Thanks again for sharing Golden Memories Cabin with us.

My family and I stayed at Donn and Margaret's Golden View Lodge from July 27th through August 1st. This was a much needed family vacation for my family of 18, whose age ranged from 9 to 69. Our time spent in the cabin was very enjoyable and the cabin while secluded, was just a stones throw away from many outdoor activities which we all enjoyed. The cabin was extremely clean, the plumbing and air condition was fully operational, and the mountain view ...BREATHTAKING! My stay was very memorable and not only do we plan on visiting Tennessee in the future, we would definitely stay at Golden View Lodge, again and again and again!

We enjoyed celebrating our 25th anniversary at this cute cabin. Loved the view, grilling, and hot tub in the evening. Thank you so much!!

We stayed at the Smokey Mt. Cabins on July 5th-9th and it was an awesome way to celebrate our new marriage. The cabin was 100% better than the gorgeous pictures they have online which we didn't think was possible. Everything we read about this place ended up being true and it was a trip that will last a lifetime. We are so excited to come back and use the cabin again for anniversaries. There was so much to do and so much to come home too. We found ourselves running out of time to get everything in and enjoy the cabin for one trip. When we come back we will be booking for a week.

We couldn't have been happier with our stay at the Black Bear Lodge cabin! It was very clean and well equipped. The location is perfect and we took advantage of the back roads to get into Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, wasn't stuck in traffic at all. Truly a wonderful vacation. Wa will return!

The cabin was s perfect home away from home. Very roomy, clean and spectacular views. Perfect place for our family of 7 to spend our vacation

Everything about the cabin was amazing. We had such a great time. The location is great to the park and surrounding area attractions. The space is great for a group of people We will definitely be looking into renting the cabin again. Thanks, Brian

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.

We had a great time during our stay, cabin was clean, well equipped and the fire pit was awesome. This is the second stay with smoky mountain golden cabins and have enjoyed both stays, would stay again and recommend highly

Very clean and beautiful cabin. We are very happy with our vacation with Simply Golden.

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!

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.

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.

we had a great time in the cabin! it had all the stuff we needed and more and it was very fun!!

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.

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.

We enjoyed this beautiful cabin and view for a family reunion. It was perfect! We all had an amazing time and would highly recommend it!

This cabin was one of the most beautiful with extra space , I really loved it

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!

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!

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.

Loved it!

we really felt at home in Family Memories, the cabin was wonderful. The location is the best as we Love to go to Cades cove a lot. was about the same distance for Townsend as it was for Pigeon Forge Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home. we will be back

We LOVED the cabin. Very roomy. Very clean. Plenty of towels. The beds were very comfortable. The setting is very nice. Big porches. Highly recommend! We would absolutely stay here again.

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.

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!

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.

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....

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.

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!

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!!

We love your cabins! Would love to stay there again and even try out other cabins!
