Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Amazing!!
This wonderful cabin was perfect! Lots of room, spacious for six people, we were very comfortable, and had everything we needed. The host made sure everything was set up perfectly for us. The kids loved the pond and fountain in the front as well as the backyard. It has the most adorable little statues and a beautiful stream running through with a lovely little stone walkway. We had our own little forest in the backyard. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub after a long day of walking around Dollywood. Comfortable beds and all the accommodations we needed. You should book a stay here, we will definitely be staying again! Thank you so much to the wonderful host who made everything just perfect for a little family getaway!

Heaven On Earth
We picked this cabin for the pond and ended up with so much more! Beautifully decorated, spacious, well kept and close to everything we love to do! Rain or shine there is plenty to do while there. Hot tub, game, books and lots of movies. The quiet gated community has a pool, hiking trails and park. The pictures do NOT do this place justice. Stories of inspiration line the walls and we knew upon entering that we were brought here for a reason. As a family of 2 cancer survivors and 1 currently fighting, this cabin was everything we dreamed of and more. The immediate peace and sense of renewal were incredible. We left fully relaxed and filled with a sense of appreciation for our own journey and that of the others before us. Sandra has made this the perfect getaway from the real world. It is definitely a hidden gem. It will be our first go to for future getaways.

Perfect for a quiet family vacation
The pictures and the description are just as they described! My family really enjoyed this place. I am not quite sure the one bedroom downstairs was queen but that was a non-issue. We did get to see a momma bear and her cubs and a crane. My husband and grandson loved the pond! The pool table and foosball table were a hit with the kids and grandkids. We did not use the hot tub but we did use everything else! The pool and clubhouse are very nice! We enjoyed them tremendously. Appliances are up-to-date. Bring salt if you like it. There was none in the place but that was my bad. The only thing is we had more trash than the two garbage cans could hold. We ate in each night. As we have ATT for a phone service, none of us had cellular service except for my son-in-law, who had Verizon. We just used WiFi to message people. The roads are rough in some spots but that also is a non-issue. Everyone was very nice and friendly and the caretakers always kept us updated on the happenings around the area. I felt safe in this gated community. We are from Southeastern Kentucky so we are used to the close wildlife. Thanks for the memories!

Amazing
Wow. I have booked many places in lots of states. Catch and release cabin was absolutely one of our favorites. The property is so peaceful and pretty. It was one of the cleanest property we’ve stayed in. So, peaceful for us adults and exciting for all three kids 11, 9, and 6. They were never bored even when it rained all day and we could not do outside things. With a nice hot tub, pool table, foosball, checker and chess tables, TVs, books, fish to feed, they found enough to be entertained. It is larger than I expected and there are lots of sitting areas that lets you all be together or get away by yourself. Did not feel crowded. I would very definitely return to this place.
One other huge plus. The owner, San andra, was immediate in responding to any questions I had. She provided easy to follow directions and she gave us personal attention to any of our specific questions. What a warm and inviting home!

Catch and release
We had an amazing time, it is an relaxing atmosphere. The kids enjoyed the catch and release pond while the adults liked the hot tub. It was great quiet time. The bull frogs were fun to watch and listen to.

Perfect place to get away from it all.
Cozy, comfortable, & clean cabin. Plenty of things to do without leaving the cabin, or within a short drive (pool). If you are looking to get away from the hustle & bustle, this is a perfect place.
Unfortunately, it rained most of our stay so we didn't get to enjoy the pond or pool much. But the hot tub & pool table got plenty of use! The kids loved it and are already asking when we can go back!

Best Vacation Ever
Catch And Release was more than my family and I hoped for. We'd never been to the Smokies, and I pretty much just picked a cabin and hoped for the best...and the best is what we got. The cabin is in a gated and secured community called Shagbark, and as we drove through the community, we felt that we definitely scored the best cabin by far! The housekeeper did a phenomenal job with the cleanliness of the cabin, the decor was comfortable, and the grounds around the cabin were beautiful and peaceful. We could have gladly spent our entire week just sitting in one of the rockers on the front porch or sitting out back listening to the babbling brook. And the owner, Sandra, was an absolute joy to work with. We WILL be back!
