We had a great stay at Kickerback Kottage, even though the weather was less than desirable. We were impressed by the cleanliness of the cabin and the modern furnishings and appliances. My daughter and I played many games of pool and we tried to assemble the 1000 piece puzzle but ran out of time after only completing about half of it. And the easy drive into town was also something that we appreciated along with the parking pass. We definitely are interested in returning.

I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your kottage. We have stayed in several nice hotels in many different places and a couple of cabins/condos and your place is definatley top notch! I was impressed with everything from the cleanliness of the carpets to the wonderful choice of linens! I thought I'd slept on nice sheets before but when I got into the bed, I couldn't believe how nice the sheets and blankets were. Not only did they feel good, but they smelled clean and just washed. I thought the snacks were very thoughtful! And I wanted to take the chair in front of the fireplace home with us (haha) It was my favorite place to sit. The only problem we had with the place was leaving! I am sure that I could find a super luxury cabin in the Smokies that would have the same high standards, but not for the price you offer. And thank you so much for taking care of the hot tub so well. We've stayed at places with 'clean' hot tubs before and they were definatley not clean in comparison. I could tell you actually cleaned it and not just dumped chemicals in it. "
Comment from Mike & Sue (owners): it's reviews like this that confirms we are doing the right thing, by not cutting corners and paying attention to detail and exceeding guests expectations...Thank you Amy!

We had a wonderful stay at Kickerback. It took us a while to finally make this trip...it was well worth the delay and wait. You have put so much thought into your cottage, we didn't want for a thing.
Again, Thank you for working with us and we apologize for having to delay our trip.
You are wonderful 'hosts'!

Had another great stay! Noticed all the new things since we were her in March- coffee maker and living room chair is nice addition. As always the bed was like sleeping in heaven.
We appreciate being able to stay on short notice and only wish it could have been longer.
Thanks for another wonderful visit.

What a pleasant surprise to walk into such a beautifully furnished, clean home. This means a lot coming from us as we are very picky (won't walk barefoot on hotel carpet, lysol everything before we touch it)! IT IS CLEAN. A relaxing vacation from the get-go. Played pool, grilled out, soaked in the hot tub (also clean as a whistle). Very convenient to town and action, yet removed enough to feel secluded. We took a great hike to Grotto Falls, then drove the Motor Nature Trail where we saw a mother bear and cubs! Go and enjoy yourselves.

We have rented from several agencies in the area and nothing compares to Kickerback- we will return come spring! Our little dog, 'Snickers' was so at home-much more relaxed here-We think it was the carpet. We enjoyed a wonderful Birthday/Anniversary celebration dinner at the Peddlar - wonderful food! Thanks for everything you do to make Kickerback so special.

I've stayed in 'condos' all over the world and the amenties you provide are the best. Thank you for the 'Happy Birthday' poster for our son's 34th birthday and the 'Welcome' note. The Parking Pass worked out great and saved us money for parking in Gatlinburg on 2 occasions. We plan on returning next year and we definitely will book our stay at your Kottage. Again, thanks for an enjoyable stay.

April 2008- What a perfect spot for a quick get-away from Atlanta! The 'kottage' is perfect. Thank you for letting us bring our pet. He was a bit confused about the pool table (he's ball obsessive) and couldn't figure out why the balls never hit the floor! We left behind Martini glasses in hope that our new tradition of cocktails in the Hot Tub at 5pm becomes a new tradition for others. We will be repeat vacationers!

I have checked many 'web' site for cabin rentals and have found yours to be 'exactly' what you promised. It is quite 'cozy'-very clean!!-close & convient to town...and looks better in person than on the internet! We met our kids from Nashville here for a week-end get-away. They found it relaxing and comfortable...all of us enjoyed getting back to the great mtn. air & away from the 'city'. We loved hiking up the hill with our dog, Baily, and ejoying the awesome views from the top. We took them to Hartsford, Tn, off I-40,to go whitewater rafting--they loved it. We drove to the cute town of Waynesville, NC for a nice lunch & quick shopping trip! Also plenty of eating and shopping here! All in all- this has been a perfect weekend! Thanks for all your help in answering my questions & for a great cabin.

We stayed at the Kickerback Kottage the weekend of Dec 15 2007. My son was married in Gatlinburg. I got a very good feeling from the VRBO site for this cottage and felt even more confident once I started corresponding with Mike and Sue even before we left home.
I had researched many rentals since we had never used VRBO before. I felt this one was right, well we really lucked out!! Let me tell you, the cottage and the stay well surpassed our expectation. The cottage was very clean, safe and personalized with a note to our family, little snacks and clean towels, whirlpool and a very clean, fresh comfortable get away. This one is a keeper.
We loved Kickerback and Mike and Sue made it very special. These are very trustworthy people and I highly recommend a stay here.
We simply drove down the hill and parked one street over from the main drag and totally enjoyed gatlinburg. Then we drove back to Kickerback played pool then slipped into the whirlpool and enjoyed the lights of the city from the cottage deck. Plus we were able to bring our dog with us. There is everything you need plus the cottage is in great shape. It was perfect. Thank you Sue and Mike for the great experience. We will be back and have told our friends about Kickerback.

My 12 yr. old son loved the pool table , he challenged my Dad every day. They made great memories while my mother and I walked to town and shopped. Thanks for all the 'goodies' and extra around the cabin, we truly felt at ease & rested.

The wedding turned out very nice. The sun was shining with the mountains behind for a beautiful setting. Then it started sprinkling, later which was fine. A pretty snow Sunday morning topped it off. WE love to see some flakes.

So thank you again. We have already recommended your cottage to others. I was just great!

Thank you for sending our friends phone cahrger back to us, they will appreciate this.

The house was great. We loved the Christmas touches and finding the tree lighted was lovely. It is a great location and one reason we chose to stay was the fact that the Hot Tub water is changed after each guest. We are both in the Health Care Industry and usually don't use public Hot Tubs, but felt very confident that yours would be safe. We did enjoy it after a long day of shopping...what a way to end the day! I usually do not sleep well in a new place, however, we all got some much needed rest in your home. Thank you again and Happy Holidays!

"We love your Chalet. Having come down from Ohio 18 of the last 23 years, we have stayed in all kinds of places. This one is great! Our son is a senior in High School this year, so this will be the last time coming down with us this time of year...for it's off to College. We loved the Hot Tub. I loved the fact that it was fresh water we we got here. Your attention to the little things meant alot to us and shows that you think about your guests. Our 8th grade daughter spent a good deal of time watching the Disney channel upstairs. We enjoyed the pool table, too! I cooked most of our meals in and appreciated having a stove which had all working parts!
At 50 years young, I figure we have 20 more years to come down (Lord willing), so you'll have a repeat customer if your place stays in this great shape.

As for the 'No-Way Joses' the name says it all...no way! Wanted to go to Bubba Gumps but never got the chance. Cooked out steaks and chicken wings here and enjoyed the pool table and hot tub.

My Husband and I have enjoyed our time here at the Kottage, whether we were shooting pool, sitting on the deck or in the Hot Tub or playing a game of Yahtzee by the fire. It has been so relaxing. I am so glad our friends invited us to come. Will we see you next year.

We just stayed 4 nights and did not want to leave! The pictures on the web site do not do it justice. Everything was so clean and neat. Almost everything was supplied except for the food. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it to others.

Mike & Sue,

Thank you! Our stay was wonderful. This was one of many trips we have made to G'burg and we wish we had known about Kickerback Kottages before now. Your cabin is absolutely exactly as you describe it to be. It is a thousand times better than any hotel room. The wooded area makes you feel you are in a secluded cabin away from everything yet it is so close to the action of downtown. We will definetly be staying again and will recommend it to others!! Thanks again!!

This condo is very very clean and exactly as described, no
surprises. It had that woodsy, private feeling we wanted, yet it is very close
to town. I would definitely rent it again. Thanks Mike and Sue!

"WOW- what a beautiful chalet. We came here with our dear friends and we are having a wonderful time. We all laughed so hard last night as we all played pool. I have never stayed anywhere this clean-the furnishings are GREAT- everything works- that is an absolute plus. The view from this mountain is breath-taking. The hot tub is fantastic. Thank you for maintaining a beautiful chalet for people to visit. We will be back. Did not see Ralph, that would have been a treat. We love it here-thank you for sharing."
