We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this cabin. Everything we needed was there. Also it has a great hot tub with.a view. We look forward to a return visit.

We stayed in Golden Memories in February 2015. We found the cabin in immaculate condition and even better than the pictures. It snowed while we were there and we were confined to the cabin for a couple of days. We enjoyed the beautiful snow covered scenery and just snuggling by the fire. The day before we were to leave we contacted the owner to express concern for our ability to get out due to the heavy snow cover on the road leading to the cabin. They came over and shoveled and put down salt, told us they would come back the next day to help us get out if necessary. Being from southeast Texas and not accustomed to driving in snow, we really appreciated their help. Great honeymoon cabin or get away for a couple. Will rent from these owners again!

Heavens View was truly just that!!! Our view was beautiful,whether we were watching the sun come up or down! The cabin was so nice and very clean! We also enjoyed the hot tub which was very nice and also clean! It was one of the nicest, most relaxing vacations we have ever had! Hope we get to come back soon, and thank you for renting us your beautiful cabin!!!

We took our first vacation in 9 years and headed to the Smokies because we have wonderful memories there. We decided to rent a cabin this time and chose Heaven's View. When we walked in, we were so happy to find the cabin exactly as it looked in the pictures on the website! Comfy, cozy, clean, secluded, and definitely a view as close to heaven as one could get. We will be back and we will stay at one of the Smoky Mountain Golden Cabins on every vist. Thank you for your hospitality!

We loved the cabin! It had everything we needed. The location was exactly what we had hoped, near enough to the things we wanted to see and do, but secluded and quiet. Hope to return again some day! Also, love the name as we have a beautiful Golden ourselves!!

We have rented many cabins over the years in this area, but "Family Memories" is among the best ! The cabin is very clean and in a very easy to drive to location. Perfect location for Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and my favorite, Cades Cove. The views from the living room and the front porch are amazing. The "starter" supplies lasted me and my husband for our entire stay! The bed in the master is so comfortable and you don't hear a sound at night - so peaceful. We are trying to plan our next trip now to "Family Memories.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Bear Cave. So relaxing and quite. Just enough room for a couple to enjoy time together.

This is a beautiful cabin and is in an awesome location! This cabin had everything we needed from kitchen items, extra pillows, blankets, etc. We loved having breakfast and dinner on the front porch! Hot tub was amazing and was larger than any other cabin's we have stayed at before. We enjoyed ever minute of our stay and plan to come back to this lovely cabin!

Excellent Cabin, could not be better, superb view and location and really close to National Park. In the park we saw all the wildlife - mother bear and 3 cubs, dear, Turkey and even 2 snakes. We are going to come back many times.

We planned our trip for a buddy who is getting married in May 2015. The cabin was everything we expected and more. I will def be planning another trip down there in the future.

This was one of the best vacations we have ever been on! This is by far the best cabin experience! The location of the cabin was great--secluded yet still convenient to everything! It was a short drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and a very short distance to Townsend where there is a grocery store, etc. Our group included 4 adults and 4 children and the layout of the cabin was perfect with all of the children on the bottom floor! The extra amenities kept the kids entertained while us adults were able to enjoy ourselves. The condition of the cabin was fabulous and made us feel very at home! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful cabin!

My family loved the cabin. Had everything we needed. Very quiet and peaceful setting. Loved the quality and style of the furniture in the cabin.

The cabin was very nice. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The DVR was a nice amenity. Heaven's View is a beautiful cabin and lives up to its name...the sunrise, sunset, and mountain views from the cabin were "heavenly".

We reserved the cabin for a spring break getaway with our two high school kids. We all had a great time! The beds were so comfortable...we enjoyed sitting outside on the deck, and using the fire pit to make s'mores. We soaked in the hot tub, grilled burgers and chicken, and played many games of pool downstairs. The wifi was a great convenience, the cable TV was fun, and we were able to cook all our meals and eat comfortably both indoors and out. We HIGHLY recommend this cabin, and will certainly return if we ever come back to the area again. Thank you Donn and Margaret, and God Bless.

Cabin was amazing! Enjoyed the hot tub, pool table and deck! ??

We had a wonderful week!! There were 6 adults, 3 teenagers &, 2 preteens. Everyone slept well! We had everything we needed and then some!!! We all enjoyed the beautiful views!! Thank u for a great experience !!

This is our second stay at Family Memories. This house is perfect for us. We traveled with two children and a maltipoo. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We loved the convenience to the national park, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg.

Our family of 11 came together from 4 different states and were able to relax by the fire, catch up, watch the NCAA tournament games, and marvel at the view. We used every square inch of the lodge including the well stocked kitchen,the pool table, hot tub , and we roasted marshmallows in the fire pit every night! I want to say thank you to Donn and his family for providing this beautiful place for families and friends to spend time together and create new memories. We will be back!

We planned a quick get away for our family to reconnect after my son was discharged from the military. This cabin was perfect! We felt at home immediately! The cabin was beautiful! The setting was remote enough that we had quiet family time, yet close enough to Smokey Mountain National Park and the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area we were able to enjoy the sights. We definitely plan on returning!

Overall a good experience. Cabin is very nice, great view, good location. Lot's of room and space to spread out. There were two of us, but you could fit 3 couples each with their own room on separate floors with full bath and own porch. Good feature.

Our stay at "Family Memories" was more than we expected. The cabin was amazing and the view of the Smoking Mountains were beautiful! The cabin was equipped with everything needed. We will definitely return.

We had a wonderful stay at Golden View Lodge. The cabin more than exceeded our expectations. Cabin was very clean and spacious. Beds were very comfortable and looked just like the pictures. This is a great cabin for a large group. There is plenty of room for everyone. Lastly....the view of the mountains was amazing.

We held our Executive Team retreat at Heaven's View and it was wonderful! The cabin has everything you could want/need and the views were outstanding. We've already scheduled our next retreat and everyone agreed that this is the place we want to stay!

Everything about this cabin was just perfect. Everything you could possibly need was already in the kitchen. The bed was very comfortable and the views were breath taking. We got a good amount of snow during our stay but they were right on top of keeping the driveway clear for us. It was the perfect location, everything was just a short drive but far enough away that it is nice and quite when you come home. We fell in love with Wears Valley and will definitely be back soon.

Our stay at Heavens View was awesome. The cabin was great and the view was beautiful and secluded. We had three winter storms that came through while we were there and made it more fun. The owners, Don and Margaret, were very nice and concerned about us when we had ice and snow and temperatures near 0 degrees.They helped us in many ways including plowing snow off the road and putting salt down.We all felt they went above and beyond to take care of us.They are very nice people. We have finally found the renters we want to come back to every time we rent a cabin in the Smoky's.Thank you Don and Margaret.We will be back soon!

We were more than pleased with this cabin! The pictures do not do it justice. My only regret was not being able to stay longer. We will definitely be back!

The Golden View really is a pinnacle of cabin retreats. The warm, 20 sleeper mountain dwelling is more than accommodating and comfortably housed 15 adults. Do not fear the ascent to the top of this beautiful mountain, for the Tischs will certainly see that the roads are ice free for the duration of your stay. Our weekend in February required the owners to clear nearly a foot of snow and salt the drive multiple times. We are all grateful for the opportunity to see the majesty of The Great Smokey Mountains from a cabin that is hardly rivaled in seclusion and convenience. Thank you for letting is stay.

Donn and Margaret, the owners, have got to be the nicest and most accommodating people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Since the weather was bad during our visit, Donn called the day we were due to arrive, to ensure that we new what the weather would be like and that we had what we needed to get to the cabin and enjoy our visit. They had the driveway salted just before our arrival which made the commute up and down the mountain a total breeze. This cabin is absolutely breathtaking!! It starts with a beautiful drive up a very well maintained paved road to a private driveway, which is also paved and well maintained. Entering the cabin, immediately takes you to another, more peaceful place. The views are second to none no matter which angle you take from the 360 degree porch. Golden View Lodge is filled with all the comforts of a luxurious home. The mountain themed furnishings are modern and comfortable, providing total serenity. It is perfect for family gatherings, reunions of any type, or a romantic getaway for 2. We stayed for 4 nights and did not want to leave. In fact, many of the activities we had planned, were passed up for more time in the cabin. The pool table, hot tub and second kitchen on the lower level were a big hit during our stay. The cabin's kitchen is extremely well stocked, which actually encouraged me to cook so that I could use some of the kitchen tools that were unfamiliar to me. The cabin is located in a central, but secluded location which makes it easy to get to and from area attractions. This cabin is 100% as advertised and you won't be disappointed. We have already planned to return next year!!

Going to the Smoky Mts. Is like going back home each time we visit. Donn and Margaret have the best cabins! They are always very clean and have everything you need. We rented "Family Memories" this time and loved the sitting room with the big window overlooking the beautiful mountains. Our dog loved having the fenced back yard so he could get frisky in the ice and snow we had. Donn is there for your every need and cares about his renters. We appreciate the personal touch you receive when you rent from Donn and Margaret.

Thank you for opening your cabin up to us we loved the stay at your cabin it was very relaxing with the Jacuzzi the hot tub and the fireplace the open floor plan we loved everything about it , we took a trip to Cades Cove in seeing lots of big deer we also received some snow as we were there which was a very nice touch for our anniversary trip we would love to Beatle to stay at your cabin again The cabin was very reasonably priced which helped us to be able to stay there

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in the cabin "Family Memories". It was in the perfect location, as it was almost equal distance to Cades Cove, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge. The cabin vary nice on inside and out. Also has a new deck on the front of the house, not in pictures, that allows for great views of sunset and sunrise. We will definitely be coming back

We spent a wonderful week in your Golden View Lodge. Our group of eight women were so comfortable and relaxed there. The views of the mountains and the valley are beautiful. We have stayed in the Valley for the last 4 years . This was our first time at Golden View. We were very impressed with the decor and the cleanliness of the cabin. We are already planning our next vacation to Wears Valley. We are looking forward to coming back to Golden View, Thank you for sharing your beautiful spot in the mountains with us.

We have stayed in MANY cabins over the years. Many look good in the pictures, and then you get there and are disappointed. Golden View Lodge delivers!! It has a Fabulous view!! It is clean, well appointed and decorated. Everything is comfortable!! We want to stay here from now on!!! Thanks SO SO much!!

We decided last minute to go to the mountains for a few days. We loved this place so much we stayed an extra night! Perfect place for us, two teens and a ten year old. It made my heart happy to see the kids put away the electronics and play pool together, roast marshmallows around the fire pit and hang out in the hot tub. Definitely will be going back!

We had a wonderful experience at the Golden View Lodge. There were quite a few of us staying at this lodge and it did not disappoint. The Lodge was clean and ready for our arrival. Beautiful views and amenities. Short travel distance to Cade's Cove and Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. Room for everyone.

We have visited Gatlinburg every year for the past five years, normally we stay in our camper, but this year we were to be married and decided to do a wedding in a cabin and the wedding went off without a hitch. This was the first time we rented a cabin and much to our surprise we found that the relaxation factor was by far was much better along with the views. When we take the camper, we usually forget something and have to go buy what is forgotten, with the cabin, everything was there and we didn't have to by anything allowing for more relaxation. When we got home, we had enjoyed our stay so much that there is already discussions on which cabin to stay at next year.

Love love your cabin, we enjoyed are stay so much hope we get to stay there again some time. I give it 5 stars.

My wife and I spent our 10th wedding anniversary in golden memories. The cabin was beautiful... Everything was very nice. The cabin was beautifully decorated and very clean. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and there was more than enough supplies for a 3 night stay. I would recommend this cabin to people. The price was one of the lowest we could find after days of searching and it was well worth it.
