Hello Pam,
Just wanted to pass along a few quick words of appreciation and praise from our stay. We had a great time and the cabin was absolutely fantastic--just what we were looking for. The location was perfect--not too far, not too close--and the view was simply incredible. And all the amenities we could ask for were virtually right at hand. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.
Warm regards,
Jeff XXX

After long hours of searching for just the right criteria in a cabin, I was lucky enough to stumble on this gem. We needed a walk-in main floor with living area, kitchen, bedroom, and gathering deck. I also wanted two other bedrooms on different floors with individual decks. The layout was perfect. Three couples came together to celebrate 25, 30, and 40 years of marriage. One couple has knee problems, and the main floor was just right for all of us to visit. Best of all, the view was spectacular. I have stayed on Chalet Mountain, and on this side of Gatlinburg, and prefer the "quiet" side, away from the crowd, but close enough to be in the center of it all in a matter of minutes. Parking at the shuttle center down the road allowed us to board the tram all day long without worrying about parking. Also got to see the neighboring raccoon, and he was a cutie. Thanks, Pam, for being so helpful and hands on. It was a pleasure!!

Girls' Fall Break

We had a wonderful Fall Break vacation at the "See Forever" cabin. We had four generations of gals on our trip from 84 years old down to a 22 month old. The views were spectacular!! It was so relaxing to get up every morning and watch the sunrise over the mountains with a hot cup of coffee. The cabin is very close to the Arts and Crafts Community, so we had plenty of shopping when we felt like we needed to go into town. Pam was so nice and answered all of our questions, gave us information on what to do in the area, and directions for a shortcut to Pigeon Forge. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the beds were very comfy! We will definitely be going back to the "See Forever" cabin!!

Owners response: I am thrilled you all enjoyed your stay! I have taken my 86 year old mother and having everything (bedroom, living room, kitchen and deck) accessible on the main floor was really helpful for her (she can't do stairs). Thank you!

My husband and I went away for the weekend to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. My #1 requirement in finding a place to stay was having a view of the mountains. This place did not disappoint! We had such an enjoyable time just sitting on the deck having our morning coffee looking out at God's beautiful creation. The location near the Arts and Craft district was perfect also. It was just the right distance from downtown Gatlinburg. I researched many places on VRBO, and this place by far was the best value for the money I found.

We loved our stay at See Forever. It was obvious why it was named that after seeing the view from all three levels. It was absolutely beautiful. The other cabins are spaced far enough away that we hardly knew they were there. My mother, daughter and grandchildren were with us making four generations. We all loved having the bedrooms with its own bathroom on separate levels since it gave us our own space. The cabin was very clean and we appreciated that it was smoke free since some of us are allergic to cigarette smoke. It had everything we needed. We cooked on the grill and even used the ice cream maker. We appreciated the deck on each level and were able to spend some time just looking out over the mountains, visiting, reading or getting in the hot tub. My youngest grandson really enjoyed the swing on the bottom level. Since we were near the Arts and Crafts Community, we checked out a few of those shops. We also went to The American Oldies Theater and saw Patty Wazsak. The price was very affordable. The kids were able to go horseback riding and gem mining at the Big Dude Ranch at Ponderosa. We ate at Mama's Farmhouse which had a buffet style meal which was very good. The cabin was very easy to find with the directions given us. Pam was so helpful everytime I contacted her with questions. We would definitely recommend this cabin to our friends and family. It costs more to stay in a motel and get separate rooms than it does to stay in this cabin and have so much more available to you. This is the fifth summer that we have all gone to Gatlinburg for vacation and it was one of our best yet! Thank you, Pam, for helping to make this vacation a very memorable one.

For the first time in over twenty years, I decided to take my entire family on a real vacation. This included my mother, brother, his wife, and their three children (2,4 and 8). I looked for 2 months at cabins and emailed over 15 possibilities; my choice had to be perfect for such a special vacation. I wanted a real log cabin with a good view and some privacy. The description and pictures of See Forever seemed to fit my needs, so I emailed Pam and booked directly through her. When we arrived, it was dark. We unloaded, unpacked, and went to bed. The cabin we very clean and fresh. Everything was in tip top shape and perfect condition. The furniture was not worn, the bed linens were fresh and clean, the windows were clear with no smudges or streaks and everything was very well presented. One of my requirements when looking for a cabin was a great view. The next morning, my mother an I stepped out onto the deck to have our coffee and there it was. In the distance the most majestic mountains rising high out of mother earth; it was the most beautiful view and everything I had imagined. My mother turned to me and said "how could anyone doubt there is a God when he provides us with such beauty to enjoy." I picked up my phone and emailed Pam with the subject line of "Awesome" and told her the view was incredible. The privacy was also great. Though there were other cabins in the area, unless you really looked you could not tell anyone else was around and you could not see anything from the decks except the magnificent view.
Pam was a sheer delight to work with. She made everything so easy and provided everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. To avoid the parkway, she provided directions through the mountains, answered any question I had promptly and gracefully and was genially concerned that we enjoy our vacation. This is the advantage of working directly with an owner. When I returned home, I emailed Pam to let her know how happy I was and how thankful I was I would not have to worry about looking for a cabin when I do return to Gatlinburg. "See Forever" will now be my home away from home in the mountains.

Owners response: Wow! - thank you so much for the kind words and I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. The morning views always amaze me the most. Something about the way the early morning light hits the mountains is just glorious. I like the privacy too, but am also comforted knowing there are other cabins in the area.

Life gets so busy so every year we try to take time as a family to escape. This year we ran for the hills...And it was Perfect! Our time at See Forever was Wonderful. The name of this cabin could not have been more perfect. The views were amazing. The cabin was cozy, nicely decorated and had all of the comforts of home away from home. The only complaint I have about our time at this Beautiful Cabin tucked away in Misty Hollow would have to be ... it just wasn't long enough.

We recently stayed at See Forever for the weekend and had a wonderful time! The cabin is very clean and well-equipped. All three bedrooms are large and spacious. The common areas are great spaces to relax. The views from all porches are amazing! The cabin is in a great location, convenient to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

I wish I would have planned more time just staying in the cabin. We spent one week at "See Forever" and had to leave too soon. The three balconies, fireplace and furnishings were perfect for our family. We always had time together or alone with the spacious layout. I really enjoyed the full kitchen supplies as each night a different family member was able to cook supper and breakfast. The owner was very gracious in answering all our questions and returning calls or emails. I hope we can return again and stay longer in this wonderful location.

My family's experience at, "See Forever" was better than expected. The view was marvelous, the cabin was comfortable, clean, and relaxing. Everything you could need is there. It was just as pictured.
My husband and I were accompaned by my 20 yr old daughter and 19 yr old niece. It was fabulous for all to have their own space. Each bedroom has it's own deck with the amazing view. We enjoyed the air hockey as well as the hot tub. The location was perfect. We were very happy not to be on the "strip" in Gatlinburg, but to be so close to the park and all the outdoor activities we enjoyed.
Pam was a joy to deal with. She was prompt and attended quickly to any question I may have had.
If you come to Gatlinburg, be sure to try to ZipLine. Our experience doing that at CLIMBworks was incredible. We enjoyed many fabulous restaurants, and of course enjoyed hiking in the Smokies.
I would stay at See Forever again any time I get the chance.

Pam is wonderful to work with. Staying at her beautiful cabin provided an amazing, relaxing oasis to return to each day after hiking in the Smokies. Pam gave us several great recommendations to access and enjoy the park without having to pass through the chaos of Gatlinburg each time. The views from the house are more spectacular than pictures can convey. Coffee on the deck with the sunrise is a vacation in itself. The house sits on a hill so it feels like you are in a tree house. The house is immaculate and so comfortable. Highly recommended. Thank you, Pam! Kirk, Gwen & Jud

We had a great time. "See Forever" had everything that we needed and lots of space. The views were awesome and the location was the best. It was so easy to get to any attractions, especially using the back roads (during the day... a bit scary in the dark!). Kids enjoyed the pool table and didn't miss the internet. We would not hesitate to stay there again. Thanks for sharing your home.

We had a wonderful time, but it didn't last long enough.
The cabin was perfect for us. Three sisters, 3 bedrooms and our own balconies. We spent most of our time together, but starting and ending each day in our own space was great.
The view was perfect too ! I am sure we will be returning to the mountains, and we would love to stay with you again.

I will definitely recommend your cabin to anyone I know who goes to Gatlinburg. It really couldn't have been more perfect.

Pam,
We just returned from your cabin this afternoon and I wanted to tell you what a great time we had!! Your cabin us just beautiful and WHAT A VIEW!!! It just takes your breath away every time you walk by a window. The kids really had a great time and they had plenty to do right there at the cabin to keep them contented. They had fun in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but they never fussed about going back to the cabin. They had a nightly pool tournament and a nice long soak in the hot tub and everyone had their own space. It was just great!!
We had everything we needed... and more!! I just wanted to let you know that we had a great time and the next time we plan a trip to the mountains, you will be the first one we contact!!
Thanks again,
Angie

Pam,
We had a great time!
We had snow pretty much the whole time. The only time that we had a significant amount was Monday night/Tuesday morning when we went into Gatlinburg to do the tubing thing on the mountain.
We had a great time and may use you again in the future.

Pam, We had a wonderful time. Thanks again, for making the exception on the two night stay. We had not seen the other family for more than ten years and vacationing in the Smokies together had been a regular tradition. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to rebuild that relationship.
