| We loved it, my family said it was the best vacation ever. The place is beautiful, it makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable the moment you arrive. We stayed a week and hated to leave. |

| My husband, son, daughter-in-law, grandson, dog and myself stayed at the Apple Dumpling over Memorial Day weekend. It was just far enough away to have the peace, quiet, and seclusion we enjoy, yet close enough to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Great Smoky Mountain National Park that all were an easy trip. The cabin is beautifully decorated and felt like a home away from home. Dennis and Bonnye were very helpful and made us feel even more welcomed. We look forward to using their cabin again in the future. |

We stayed at Apple Dumpling from 5/11- 5/16 of this year. We absolutely LOVED this cabin. There was plenty of room for our family, plus our dog. The pool table and hot tub were a hit with everyone, and the cabin is located just far enough away from downtown pigeon forge, to really feel like you are in the middle of nowhere.
Thank you so much, we will definitely be back! |

We spent MLK, Jr weekend at the cabin with three other couples. It was an adult weekend, and a WONDERFUL one at that! Apple Dumpling is the perfect getaway with plenty of opportunities to rest, relax and feel pampered. This was our 2nd year in a row to stay there. We love the hot tub, pool table, games and comfy furniture!! It's very clean and perfectly kept.
The cabin is perfect with a full kitchen because we never had to leave. However, it is so close to Cumberland Gap that we just had to spend some time at the outlet mall!
We absolutely loved our getaway to Apple Dumpling and can't wait to do it again next year!! |

| We have visited Apple Dumpling numerous times with and without children. Our most recent visit was this past January 2009. This past time we went with 3 other couples and left the kids behind. We had a great time, as always. We turned on the gas fire during cold evenings, played some pool and relaxed in the hot tub with some wine. On Saturday the gals hit the outlet malls for the day while the men hiked in the Smoky Mountains. Sometimes we eat out at one of the restaurants in Pigeon Forge, but our best meals are grilling steaks that the cabin with the football game on in the background. Nothing is lacking and the cabin has always been very clean. We have much privacy and it feels like we are safely secluded in the middle of the woods. We look forward to more good times! |

Bonnye and Dennis,
Thanks so much for sharing your cabin with us, especially on such short notice. Our evacuation for Hurricane Gustave was much more tolerable because we had such a wonderful place to stay. Apple Dumpling is a delightful cabin, secluded and quiet - just what we needed!! The cabin was clean, neat, beautifully decorated, and felt like home when we arrived! Thanks again for your hospitality and hope to return to Apple Dumpling soon (under much different circumstances)!! |

You couldn't ask for a better place to stay for a Mountain vacation. The home is very comfortable with many games and movies to keep the little ones entertained. The kids probably played 50 games of pool in the five days that we were there.
The beds were very comfortable, everyone sleep well. Many a good meal was cooked in the fully equiped kitchen during our stay.
The home is very close to every thing (20 minutes from Pidgeon Forge) and the drive to the cabins is an easy and pretty drive. We are planning on coming back again next year.

How do you make four women (all sisters) happy? Send them to the beautiful Smoky Mountains to stay in the lovely Apple Dumpling cabin. My sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed our fantastic weekend together enjoying marathon shopping, stuffing ourselves at the great restaurants in Pigeon Forge, namely The Old Mill Restaurant and Mel's Diner, then spending recoup time at the cabin. Three of us girls are local from the Maryville and Knoxville area and one sister is from Texas. We rent a cabin when she comes home for a visit, and we will certainly rent this cabin again. We created wonderful memories at the Apple Dumpling - and it will forever be a part of our memories as sisters and friends.
The words satisfactory, or even good, cannot be used to describe our stay at The Apple Dumpling cabin. It was nothing short of fantastic! Dennis & Bonnye Feiock are to be complimented on their attention to extras...the movies, music, decor, kitchen utensils and appliances, great beds, and an abundance of light switches! Finally, when we left we had them memorized! The rooms were beautiful, the beds were exceptionally comfortable! We were overwhelmed at what an awesome home the Feiocks have created! Plus, the weather was perfect. I would gladly stay there again and look anxiously for the opportunity to do so again!
Thanks again for making your beautiful home available to the public!

Our family: Steve and Cristine Schoolcraft and our five daughters rented this cabin over spring break 2008. To put it in a nutshell- we had a blast. The cabin is beautiful and has everything our family could need plus more. We really enjoyed all of the extras that are included with this cabin (i.e. pool table, kids games, movies, hot tub etc.) With five daughters it is hard to please everyone but The Apple Dumpling cabin met and exceeded everyone's expectation's. Being so comfortable made our vacation memories the best. Go visit and read what our girls had to write in the guest book. Our week was one of pure pleasure and comfort and we will definately be back to this cabin. Thanks for the amazing memories!

I can’t begin to tell you enough how happy we were to have chosen the Apple Dumpling Cabin for our Thanksgiving 2007 vacation. I, Mom and Dad, the family dog and a family friend, felt at home from the moment we walked through the door.
It was obvious that the Feiocks gave considerable thought to their guest’s needs when choosing the amenities for their cabin. The cabin was well stocked with the essentials and the apple motif (which this cabin is so famous for) was tastefully executed. We thought about trying to count all of the apples, but immediately concluded that it would be next to impossible and would likely take the entire week to do so!
After a full day of sightseeing and entertainment in the surrounding area, it was wonderful to come “home” to a clean, comfortable and secluded cabin where we could warm ourselves by the gas fireplace, play pool or cards, read a book, or enjoy the outdoor hot tub. The Feiocks had even prepared for our Thanksgiving stay by having the cabin decorated for the upcoming Christmas holiday – Again, I must say, they thought of everything.
This was our first adventure in vacation home rental, but it certainly won’t be our last. The Apple Dumpling is already on our list of 2008 vacation destinations!

| We spent Christmas 2007 at Apple Dumpling and it was wonderful. The cabin was very clean, neat and well maintained. Pictures don't do it justice! It is so nice and homey..we counted 102 apples in master bedroom and bath...ran out of time for counting the rest of the cabin. It certainly was a holiday to remember for me, my two grown kids and my 96 yr young Mom....she LOVED it!!! Said she never had a Christmas like this and never thought she'd get to stay in a cabin in the mountains! We hope to come back again. Thank you Dennis and Bonnye for sharing your wonderful cabin with us!! Janet Hubbard |

Dear Feiock Family,
Your Apple Dumpling home was the perfect place for us and some friends to get away and relax!! It is so cozy and homey!
The two girls(ages 3 and 7)loved the loft to sleep in. It couldn't have been more perfect.
We did get to see "Fatty Patty". She showed up after we had grilled one evening. I guess she thought she would find some left-overs. Maybe next time.
We hope to come back and stay again in the springtime if your cabin is available. We had a wonderful time and would recommend your cabin to anyone.
Thanks again,

| The Fox family arrived from Louisville,KY, Richmond, VA, Pittsburgh,PA and Oliver Springs, TN to attend 2 family reunions in Pigeon Forge. We found Apple Dumpling to be a convenient and restful place to gather after all the eating and visiting. We're only sorry that we didn't get to see "Fatty Patty". |

Dennis & Bonnye,
Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had in your Apple Dumpling cabin. We spent the week of July 2 surrounded in apple accents and loved every minute of it. We found the accomodations to be very comfortable and inviting and the cleaning service had it spotless upon our arrival, and everything was in perfect working order.
P.S. The fat dog came for a visit (aka Fatty Patty). It's so cute, but its murder on your plantings as it tramples thru for its visits!

Dear Feiock Family,
We finally returned to enjoy your cabin for the 2nd time. We think it's been 4 years since our last visit. The cabin is wonderful, with more decorations than before! The mystery dog (a coon hound nicknamed Fatty Patty) paid us a visit our first day when she smelled hamburger on the grill... We went white water rafting and had a great time doing that, and at Dollywood. Make sure you keep the same name for the cabin, as that is how I found it again.

Dear Feiocks,
We truly enjoyed our stay at your cabin. We brought our 3 children, 2 spouses and our grand-daughter, who is 3. Everyone thought the place was awesome! We really hated to leave... You never know what you're getting when you look on the internet. Your place was beyond our expectations.

In April, 2006, my husband, two boys and I plan our third stay in 3 years at Apple Dumpling. It's a good place to de-stress, with a hot tub, board games, grilled steaks on the deck, etc. The boys love Pigeon Forge with it's miniature golf and go-carts, and at the Black Bear Jamboree they both had a blast dancing on stage with the cast.

We would like to say "Thank you" for opening your beautiful mountain home to us. We enjoyed it so very much. My in-laws from New York met us here and we enjoyed so many attractions together, as well as nature and your beautiful home.

We stayed at Apple Dumpling during June, 2003 with two other couples. The cabin itself was beautiful and relaxing, and we enjoyed the relative seclusion. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who wanted someplace that is both "out there" and private, but still relatively close to town.

You'll notice we are the same group from 9/28/02. We loved your cabin and its location so much that we asked for it again this year. Lord willing, we'll be back again next October.

Our family wanted to say "Thank you" for your wonderful cabin! We have 6 children and the set-up of the cabin was great! We wanted a cabin semi-secluded - we did not mind the drive to town. Our son loved the loft and the girls loved the pink bedroom.

Our family stayed for 6 nights in your home & it was truly a blessing. The kids, Jeremy (15), Aaron (9) really enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. This was our first trip to the Smokies, we plan to return again because we enjoyed it so much. Old Smoky Hoedown is hilarious. Thanks for the warm, inviting decor, and may God continue to bless your family.

We stayed a week on the recommendation of our friends the Findley's (Easter). The cabin is adorable and very comfortable. The kids loved the hot tub. We had lots of fun explorien the Smokeys and experiencing the thrills of Pigeon Forge (go carts, fudge, etc.) The cabin was peaceful in contrast. Thank you.

I enjoyed the cabin very much. I liked how there's a pool table and most of all the hot tub. I most of all enjoyed spending time with my whole family - mom, dad, cusins, uncles, and aunts. This is my best vacation so far.

We really enjoyed the cabin - especially the "mild" climb up the drive. We rented one a couple of years ago and the road was so bad that we were almost afraid to rent again. The pool table was a big attraction with the boys. There is nothing we could think of that would have made our stay more comfortable - we would certainly rent it again!
