family weekend

donna (Castalia)
Review submitted: November 15, 2012   Date of arrival: November 1, 2012

This cabin accommodated our 7 adults and 5 smaller children fairly well. The location is excellent and we loved the aquarium and our hike in the National Park. A three-day weekend was too short for us to travel from OHIO and enjoy the sights. A coffee-table binder with the info of the area, instructions for the cabin and recommended sight-seeing places would have been helpful. We appreciate the WiFi and TV screen/DVD set-up but wished for another comfortable chair or two to view the TV better. The porch/hot tub were nice.
Amenities were very basic - we didn't appreciate the reminders about missing towels(are they really being stolen?) and would have appreciated more appliances (toaster/oven?, bigger coffee pot, more eating utensils, measuring spoons, etc.) and the linens on the beds were VERY basic - even quite worn-looking.

Marvelous week at Majestic Memories

mammawbarb (Corydon, Indiana)
Review submitted: October 16, 2012   Date of arrival: October 8, 2012

Our family just spent the week at Majestic Memories. We were delighted with this facility. Our group included a 90 year old and an 8 month old. The kitchen was well-stocked and the cabin was spacious. We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. The photos on the web site depict the rooms well. Great location for visiting attractions in Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge. We prepared most of our meals in the cabin (Food City Grocery is well stocked). Be sure to visit the Aquarium. We did enjoy Calhoun's Restaurant (great barbeque!) AND--we all rushed out onto the deck one evening to watch a big black bear trying to get into the trash bin - no such luck, Mr. Bear, the bin was locked! Thanks, Glenn, for the ease in the handling of our arrangements.

A Great Cabin and Bargain

Review submitted: October 1, 2012   Date of arrival: September 10, 2012

Hello, this is the second time we have stayed in Gatlinburg and enjoyed our time there very much. I know the price of everything is going up and it is hard to keep prices down. This cabin was very reasonable for it's price. We try to take care of the cabins as much as possible to keep expenses down. We also appreciate the specials that you offer. Hope to see you again soon.

Awesome holiday cabin for families!

Review submitted: March 7, 2012   Date of arrival: March 3, 2012

Recently my family and I stayed at Majestic Memories in beautiful Gatlinburg TN. We were thrilled with the cabin as soon as we arrived and found it perfect for our extended family of 15. The location is prime and the cabin had everything we needed both in the kitchen and for entertainment. The kids spent alot of time in the hottub, playing pool and exploring the nearby creek. There was so much to see in do in the surrounding area we simply ran out of time! Looking forward to coming back already!

Had a Fantastic Vacation at Majestic Memories

Charlotte (Daphne, AL)
Review submitted: March 5, 2012   Date of arrival: February 23, 2012

My family and I recently spent several days in the Great Smoky Mountains and had a great time. We stayed at Majestic Memories and the cabin was all that the information and photos said it would be. The spacious den was great for gathering and playing cards, talking, or eating. The deck was one of our favorite places in the early morning and late afternoon. We had several cups of hot chocolate and coffee out there. And, oh, the conversations were ones that won't be forgotten for a long time.

The cabin was easy to get to, the kitchen was quite large, and the bedrooms were very comfortable. Hopefully, we will be able to have another gathering in Gatlinburg again and stay at the same place.

Cabin with Potential

Ann (Michigan)
Review submitted: November 28, 2011   Date of arrival: November 22, 2011

Our large, extended family stayed at Majestic Memories Thanksgiving week 2011. The cabin has great potential with a large kitchen and preparation area. The view from the porch was lovely. The cabin was clean, and has obviously been used over the years. Some beds were better than others. We did lack pillows and blankets, but they were quickly delivered.
The kitchen needs to have some microwavable pans. There was only one 8 x 8 inch pyrex and that deemed that we would be unable to microwave any dishes. We had to buy aluminum tins to bake anything. We would suggest providing some large baking dishes since feeding 15 people requires some dishware than can withstand oven temperatures. Hot pads and/or trivets would also be nice so hot serving dishes can be placed on counters.
In summary, we found the unit clean, and the beds overall satisfactory. The unit has some weak areas in the kitchen supplies. The sofa unit bed is in need of replacement and the heating unit for the back rooms needs repair if the unit is going to be used over the winter. We were never able to get it to stay started.
We enjoyed the hot tub, the game tables and had a great Thanksgiving holiday hiking the AT and other trails in the park.

Majestic Memories Log Cabin

TammyH (Indpls.In. USA)
Review submitted: June 28, 2011   Date of arrival: June 3, 2011

My family of 4 and my daughters family of 4 stayed 5 days in early June this year It had all the comforts of home and plenty of room for at least6 or 7 more people. The kids loved the pool table and air hockey while we enjoyed the hot tub and peace and quiet on the front deck.This is a very roomy cabin we were very pleased that we not right on top of each other like in a hotel room. The only thing I did not like is that you do tend to get bugs flying in every time you open a door, but you are in the woods after all so it was only a minor inconvenience. Very close to Gatlinburg and the Smoky mountain national park. We would come back!

Our family is spread out a little so we spent some time planning this vacation.This was our first time staying at a cabin in Gatlinburg.The owner was very nice to speak with and the rates were very reasonable for such a large cabin,and it had everything,pool table,air hockey for the kids,hot tub,lots of parking room too.The inside was great,plenty of room,fire place,it's own laundry room,and a huge kitchen area. Nothing like it! We all had a great time walking down to the stream, it is beautiful,some of us even walked to the downtown area of Gatlinburg,it's that close! But I took the car...Bottom line ----we had a fantastc time and thank you Glenn, hope to see you next year!!!

easter travelers (Townville, Sc)
Review submitted: May 2, 2011   Date of arrival: April 28, 2011

We have stayed at many Cabins in Gatlinburg and have never been disappointed until this one. This cabin has the potential to be really nice if they would do a little work on it. When we got there we found dead cockroaches on the floor and a live one on the fireplace. They did send out the maintenance man, Joe, to spray and we were told he bombed the house the day before . Throughout the weekend we continued to see several roaches so there is still a roach problem at this house. I would suggest the owner get an exterminator in and not try treating it himself. One of the beds was broke and couldn't be slept in, Joe ( the maintenance guy) looked at it while he was out and said he couldn't fix it, so one of the couples had to stay at a motel(They volunteered because they didn't want to deal with the bugs). This was a meeting point for our family to spend Easter together and we ended up having to split up anyways. The Bed on the main floor wasn't much better. When you laid down on it the center section sunk down so your feet and head were quite a bit higher than your middle. On some of the beds they had mattresses stacked on top of each other.
The Kitchen was not stocked enough. There were not enough glasses for everyone so we had to go get paper cups to drink out of. There is also only 1 hot pad. To top it off the paper towel roll was about empty and no spare (again we had to go shopping). There is not much of a front yard. It is more than most cabins have, but not flat enough for kids to play in ( they didn't even mow it until after we arrived). They shouldn't even mention the creek in the description. You can not hear it and it is so far down the mountain you can not get to it. As far as walking to anything, be prepared to hike. It isn't far to the main road, but a steep incline. You would have to be in shape to walk it.
My suggestion if you stay here is to bring your Raid and your own supplies!

Cozy and Very Confortable Cabin.

Review submitted: March 31, 2011   Date of arrival: January 7, 2011

Absolutely loved our stay! Price, comfort, and location are a bonus. Loved Majestic Memories Log Cabin. Kids loved the jacuzzi on the deck, while I loved the fireplace. Even leaving Gatlinburg was great. Instead of fighting the Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge Sevierville traffic, we went up 341 to Newport and right on the interstate. NO TRAFFIC! The staff on the phone was sooo welcoming and we appreciate their "attitude " in answering our questions.Very thankful for our trip to unwind and will be back ...

This cabin was plenty big enough for my entire family to relax and enjoy ourselves. It is also very accessible to downtown Gatlinburg which made it very easy to come and go without all the traffic.We loved relaxing in the hot tub surrounded by the tress keeping you cool and enjoy the view of nature all around you at the same time.

"A Peace of Home"

Review submitted: February 1, 2011   Date of arrival: September 17, 2010

Majestic Memories was an excellent choice for a vacation spot. My family and I went last month and had the best time!!! The kids played in the game room and entertained themselves for hours while we were at the cabin. The cabin is so spacious and comfortable. We never onced missed the comfort of our home while we were there.

This cabin is so close to downtown Gatlinburg. It makes getting out and site seeing a breeze. We did not worry about get stuck in traffic for hours and wasting our days of site seeing. We will definitely be coming back to stay at Majestic Memories again, it was a Great Cabin and great trip!!!

Gatlinburg, A fun Place To Visit.

Review submitted: January 24, 2011   Date of arrival: June 25, 2010

My wife & I came to Gatlinburg 32 years ago on our honeymoon, loved it. Have been back 8 times with our children and close friends, at Thanksgiving & in the summer. There are a lot of activities for kids of all ages. Have been twice in the last three years riding our 05 Harley Electra Glide. Going back in May for 8 days with a group of 21 close friends. Have stayed in hotels, but realy enjoy Majestic Memories Cabin in Gatlinburg. Great cabin with a Great Location. I almost forgot, the July 4th traffic is real congested.

Truly a fun Experience

Review submitted: January 24, 2011   Date of arrival: June 2, 2010

We vacation in Gatlinburg normally twice a year. Love everything about it. We tend to spend more time in the mountains than anywhere else. Have found the Ripley attractions to be our favorites. There is a hot dog shop across the road from Ripley's Haunted House. They have the best Gyros! Dollywood is close by and also a very fun place to visit. The employees are so friendly, food is good, and reasonably priced.

If you need anything for your camera, stop in at Gatlinburg Camera, they are in the Clarion. The owners are some of the nicest people I have ever met.

Parking can be a problem and traffic is hectic but take your time, and if possible walk. If you are into nature, take the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, some interesting history and a beautiful drive.

We have been going for several years, and always look forward to the next trip. We stayed in Majestic Memories, a great cabin. Once you spend a few days there, you will want to go back again and again.

We recently rented Majestic Memories. We had no problems with the cabin. The cabin was clean and comfortable. It was perfect for my husband and our 4 kids. Directions were accurate.

The cabin was just as described on line. Glenn and staff were very helpful. We will definitely rent this cabin again. We also recommend it to others.

Great Value for the money.

We all look forward to returning again soon. The owners should be proud of their "home away from home". Thanks also to Glenn, he was very accomodating.

We have stayed in 3 chalets in Gatlinburg and this one was definitely the best. Great view, lots of parking, secluded, very roomy. Glenn was very helpful. There was a problem with the hot tub but maintenance was there to look at it and ordered a new part. They had it going the next day. We had a visit from black bears 2 days. Would definitely stay in this chalet again.

My now-husband and I were searching for the perfect setting for an intimate wedding with close family and friends, and we ran across Majestic Memories. The view from the balcony first drew us in, and the sheer size of the cabin was perfect for accommodating our guests. We arrived on July 10th and immediately felt right at home. The enormous dining table was perfect for the rehearsal dinner, and was beautifully decorated for our wedding reception. All of our guests commented on how they would like to come back to Majestic Memories for a family retreat and other various group gatherings. We also liked the spacious kitchen.
All in all, we could not have asked for a better setting for our wedding and reception, and look forward to staying at Majestic Memories in the future!

We came to Gatlinburg and got married near the park in a beautiful outdoor setting. This cabin was perfect to host a small reception, and house all of our wedding guests. I really hope we can find another excuse to rent this cabin, a family reunion or something!!! Everyone loved the spa and the views from the decks. Just watch out for the bear we saw one every day!!!

Uninhabitable Property

Lefty (Momence, IL/USA)
Review submitted: June 17, 2010   Date of arrival: June 11, 2010

Upon arrival at the property we couldn't even tell it was the same home shown on the website - the lawn was not mowed, trees and bushes were overgrown blocking the view and the miniscule porch. Stair leading up to the porch were broken.

Entering the cabin we were overcome by the musty smell. Cobwebs were hanging in every corner and light fixtures with spider eggs in them, dead bugs on the floor, garbage in the bathrooms, old onions and potatoes in the cabinet, microwave and stove were greasy, heavy dust and MOLD on the window frames, refrigerator was dirty.

Worse than all of the above - LIVE COCKROACHES RUNNING AROUND!!! Owner was not cooperative. Would not give us a refund - not one cent. Had the property listed for rental for one of the days that were to be there and already paid for.

DO NOT STAY THERE!!
