| We had a great time in your Absolutely Wonderful cabin. Our teenagers and are dogs didn't want to leave when it was time to come back. Can't wait until we get another chance to visit. |

We have been coming to the mountains for several years and this was the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. No matter where you were in the cabin, you had the most amazing views. The trees were in full color and were just breath taking. We had 3 teenage girls and 4 adults and had plenty of room. The girls enjoyed all the games and even though they are teenagers, they still enjoyed the Disney movies. They had a floor all to themselves. And we enjoyed the ballgames (especially the Alabama game). ROLL TIDE. We would certainly recommend this cabin to anyone. The weather was so cold, yet we were so comfortable. The pictures are just exactly what you get only more beautiful. The roads are a little tricky but by the time we left, we had them fully under control!!!
Thanks, Linda, for a time we will always cherish. Your cabin is the best. We never got to turn on the logs, but that's OK, we could burn gas logs when we got home. We will definitely return to this wonderful, comfortable, amazing, cabin. Wish we had one just like it!!! |

| Comment Text: My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Absolutely Wonderful. The nights were beautiful, the scenery majestic. The cabin is wonderfully isolated and offers a wonderful view of the Smokys. I loved the fact that the cabin is minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but it was the peace and serenity of the mountains that will keep bringing me back to Absolutely Wonderful. |

| This is a nice place to kick back and really enjoy the views. The cabin was comfortable, and very much like ones own home. The porch was the highlight for our family. Linda is the best to work with in assisting with the stay at the cabin. Saw our first Bear while on this trip. Great. |

Absolutly Wonderful is a delight. And, you couldn't ask for anyone more interested in your having a good time than Linda. She is both professional and friendly throughout the rental process.
Now, on to the good stuff. What you see on the website is what you get. There are no surprises. The view really is as lovely as the pictures show. The cabin is just as friendly and open as the site advertises. If you rent often, you will know that advertising often relies on sneaky camera shots and building up a property into something it isn't. Absolutely Wonderful is actually nicer than can be shown on the site.
There is only one other cabin anywhere nearby. There is a long stretch of road that is only used by these two cabins. It is very private there.
The views are gorgeous. In the morning, the mountains and mist lay spread out before you. At night, there is a tiny sprinkling of lights far, far away. Mountain laurel was in full bloom for our visit -- an extra bonus.
The three levels of the cabin were great for our family. We stayed on the main floor. One grown son stayed on the bottom. Another and his new wife were on the top. We moved easily between the three floors -- there is entertainment on each floor. Still, there was plenty of privacy for each of us.
The games, DVDs, and other "extras" were much better than the site said. These provided lots of at home entertainment for us. That was a nice touch since the kids didn't have any money. It took what could have been a sterile, cookie cutter cabin to the level of a really fun place to stay.
Wi-Fi was super for the kids. They felt connected when they needed to. BTW, there is a small office on the lower floor. It is the perfect place for a bit of uninterrupted work to be done. Not that work will be on your mind much at Absolutely Wonderful.
You should try out the Margaritaville mixer. Even if you don't drink margaritas, the texture is amazing. Kids would have a super time with frosty juice.
Would I rent this cabin again? You bet. Everyone is still talking about the great time we had -- and it is a month later. A month is an eternity with busy, young adults. We're all excited about making a return trip.
BTW, did I mention how exceptional Linda is? She's Absolutely Wonderful herself.
Have fun. We did!!!!

| Thank you for a wonderful vacation! The two of us, our husbands, four teenagers, and dog had a great time. It was so relaxing. We particularly enjoyed the snow day! We cooked dinner, played games, and just enjoyed being together. Thank you for sharing your beautiful piece of God's handiwork! |

| We rented "Absolutely Wonderful" for an executive staff retreat. The view and privacy are unsurpassed. The cabin was exceptionally clean, and comfortable. The owner is a delight to work with - much easier and better than dealing with an agency. |

| We had a wonderful time at the cabin for our family reunion. The ramp and mainfloor bedroom and bath made things easy for my elderly mother to be able to join us. It was so relaxing and the view is stunning. To top it off, there was a full moon and the night view was even better than the daytime one with the moon and Venus in so bright in the sky. It felt as if you could reach out and touch them. Thanks so much for sharing your “little piece of heaven.” |

| We had a wonderful time at your cabin. It had everything we could possible need and the view was spectacular. Our first night there we didn't want to go into town as storms were on their way in - pizza delivery was great and then watching the storm roll in - it was amazing being right there with the clouds. Your informational book came in handy as my mother needed to see a doctor while we were there and the information we needed was at our fingertips. The movie selection was really great too - we watched Batman Begins in preperation for the new movie coming out - my Mom and I even got to watch a chick flick one night. Thanks for sharing your cabin - we hope to return again. John, Debbie, Adam, Aaron, Louise, Bufford and Jazz |

First of all I would like to thank Linda for allowing my me and my family to stay in her home, she is great to work with. The cabin was very clean and well stocked, there wasn't a thing we needed, other than food and clothes.
The peace and quiet was truly relaxing as was the georgeous view from the deck. The visit from the grey fox as we ate dinner on the deck one night was an added bonus for all of us especially my 11 year old daughter.
Thanks again Linda as we will remember our vacation for a long time and will keep you in mind the next time we stay in the Smokies.

Linda was great. We had rented from a rental
company before Linda and the quality and price
didn't even compare to Absolutely Wonderful. I
scoured the internet searching for the perfect cabin
that was spacious and had all the amenities I
needed for my husband and I as well as our 3 small
children, and all at the perfect price This was it!
This is a fabulous cabin with spectacular views.
There is plenty of comfortable seating on the decks.
The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well
stocked with dish wear and appliances. Plenty of
seating in the living room and loft. We were able to
come home with clean laundry (due to washer and
dryer)! I was able to take some beautiful pictures of
the smokey mountains from Absolutely Wonderful.
We can't wait to come back! Thanks Linda ;) |

| Great place to have the family all together. Plenty to do there to keep every one busy. Great views. Maintained in excellent shape and "Cabin Services" responds promptly to any questions. Deck is great for watchin the Sun rise or set, sit and relax or eat. Hottub is very relaxing, even in the winter. You are close to everything yet there is plenty of privacy and quiet. |

Your cabin is truly "absolutely wonderful". The cabin itself greatly exceeded my expectations, and the location made my stay in the mountains even better than I could've anticipated. The cabin being nestled off the main road that climbs the mountain certainly enhanced the peacefulness of the pristine view...no traffic to distract from the weekend! I will certainly be back. Thank you for being so accommodating.

| I have been going to the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area for over 30 years. This is the best view and most family friendly house that I have ever rented. As an added bonus, the owner's are the nicest people to work with and this home is truly a home away from home. I can't wait to go back and just soak up God's beauty that surrounds this home. You "absolutely" get your money's worth with this rental. |

| We stayed in this cabin the first weekend in october in 2007. It was everything that the web site said it would be. But most important was the fact that I was ill on our trip and Linda was kind enough to send a free pizza to our cabin. thanks so much for the use of the cabin and your kindness. see you next year.
