The minute we walked in the door at "A Walk In The Clouds" we felt like it was home. From the beautiful furniture and decorations to the breathtaking views, this is a great place to stay. We loved the hot tub and the pool table and enjoying our morning coffee in the swing watching the clouds roll through the mountains. The cabin is exceptionally clean and the beds are very comfortable. Ray and Marissa we great to work with. We will definitely stay here again!

Owner Response

e put alot of ourselves into decorating our cabin ans makes us feel good when our guest acknowledge and enjoy it. Glad you had a good time and hope to hear from you again

We really enjoyed this cabin! To start off, It was beautifully decorated, very good taste in furnishings and decor! Very clean in every nook and cranny. It was not difficult to get to, and the view was magnificent! Always a different view of the mountains! Placed very high up, you could see for miles around. We loved watching the clouds roll over and around the valleys. The cabin was comfortable, we slept like babies in the comfy beds! It felt cozy and homey. Plenty of hot water for showers and jacuzzi. Ray and Marissa thought of everything! Right down to candles placed throughout for romancing if that is what you are looking for. Everything you could imagine you might need in the kitchen. We made several meals there. Our teenage son enjoyed playing pool with us, and entertaining himself with video games while my husband and I enjoyed the sunset, or having a few drinks on the balcony. The stereo for the game room that also played on outdoor speakers by the hot tub was a great addition! We were able to dock our ipod and listen to our favorite music while relaxing and playing games with our son. Highly recommend staying here! Thanks again for contributing to a worry-free vacation! Charlie & Angela

Owner Response

harlie and Angela Thanks for taking the time to write a review. After all of the nice things you said about the cabin and the view, what I liked the most was the part about your worry free vacation. This is our goal and we are happy to have contributed to it. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

My two college-age daughters and I had a wonderful first trip to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. A Walk In the Clouds was perfect--away from the traffic of Gatlinburg but a short drive to the park. We spent our days hiking and our nights at the cabin. Would recommend hikes to Grotto Falls, Alum Cave, Abrams Falls (Cades Cove) and Andrews Bald (Clingman's Dome). We ziplined at Wahoo and had delicious meals at Wild Plum and Old Mill Pottery House Cafe & Grille. The views from A Walk in the Clouds are fantastic and the cabin is pristine and comfortable. Although the cabins nearby were occupied, it was quiet and peaceful. We will definitely recommend this home to others who are planning to visit the area.

Owner Response

hanks for taking the time to share your vacation with us. Sounds like you took advantage of the hikes the Smoky mountains offer as well as some good dining. Hope to hear from you again Ray and Marissa Walls

My family and I vacationed in Pigeon Forge at 'A Walk in the Clouds". On the way into the cabin, my family and I were looking at all the things to do along the Pigeon Forge Parkway. I researched the area before going on vacation. But, when we got there, I realized we would need a lot more time to experience everything that we wanted to do while in Pigeon Forge. We got off the parkway and headed for our vacation home. In just what seemed like minutes, we were at the cabin. When we got to the cabin, the first thing we noticed were the amazing views. They are even more amazing than the pictures. I think it is something you have to experience to appreciate. The next thing we noticed was that the owners seemed to think of everything to make our trip pleasant and luxurious. This is not an ordinary cabin in the woods. We did not feel like we were roughing it at all. We wanted a vacation in the mountains and this cabin is perfect. There are so many things to do in the area. We went to the Smoky Mountains National Park and explored Cades Cove. My two children and I sat in on a ranger talk. We saw a bear on the way back. My daughter wanted to do horseback riding and zip lining. There was a place to do both near the cabin. We loved that you could go out and do so many things and come back and feel like you are miles away from it all. We loved it so much that we had to go back. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us.

We were seeking a relaxing vacation. A quite place with a view that would make you feel that you really did not need to leave the cabin. A Walk in the Clouds was just what we were looking for. Ray was very honest and easy to work with. He gave some very good tips for things to do in the area and places to eat. This was our nineth time in the area but the first time that we spent so much time in Gatlinburg. We had a few rainy days but that was okay, we stayed at the cabin and just soaked in the nature and view ! I think this is a great place for a couple or two couples sharing the cabin. The upstairs bedroom is a loft style, so yes it is open, but yet it is still private enough if you did have another couple staying with you. You would each have your own bathrooms next to your bedrooms. The game tables are in the bedroom and you did get to the deck that holds the hot tub from this room. But again the room is LARGE . The cabins furnishings are beautiful !! We would recommend this to anyone looking for a beauty of a place to relax.

Owner Response

hanks for taking the time from your day to write a review. Glad you had a good time and enjoyed Gatlinburg as well as our cabin. Even the rainy days are nice in the Smokys. Hope to hear from you in the future. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

Our trip to Pigeon Forge couldn't have been any better! Thank you Ray and Marissa... we loved the cabin, the view was incredible and the place was really comfortable. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for the week. It was so nice to wake up to the amazing view of the mountains. Ray was very helpful and available to answer any questions we had. We stayed for a week after driving down from Connecticut with two 12 year old boys and our dog. The boys enjoyed all the games and were occupied with fun things to do all week. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed exploring the GSM National Park. Everyone we met in town was friendly and very helpful. We definitely expect to go back again and again.

Owner Response

ood to hear you had a good vacation after driving all of the way from Connecticut. Its nice to have guest visit our cabin from that far north. We are glad you and the boys enjoyed yourselves and the weather was nice. We do what we can to answer all of your questions in effort to make your vacation as eventful as posible. It is good to be reconized. Thanks for taking the time to write this review and hope to hear from you in the future Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

The cabin was absolutely beautiful with an amazing view. It was everything that we hoped it would be. We look forward to spending more time at this location and are grateful for all the information Ray gave us regarding local attractions. We would definitely recommend this cabin to others looking to experience a relaxing get away. Sincerely, Steve Williams and Jennifer Kilbourne

Owner Response

hanks Steve and Jennifer for taking the time to write about your stay. happy to hear you hade a good time the attractions email I had sent you was useful. Hope to hear from you again. Thanks Again Ray and Marissa Walls A Walk In The Clouds

We stayed at the cabin during February for a week of some much needed peace and quiet. Words cannot describe how happy we were with the entire experience! The cabin is absolutely beautiful! Even better than the photos in the listing. Communication with Ray was easy and he was very helpful with tips about the area. The furnishings and decor make it feel very warm and cozy, and we felt at home right away. The views from every room are absolutely breathtaking! The view was changing every day, and we even got to wake up completely surrounded by clouds (and a rainbow!) rolling in over the mountains. It snowed for a couple of days during our stay, and the entire area looked like a beautiful postcard - it was amazing to see everything covered in snow, like a real winter wonderland. The area and location are great, with easy access to everything Pigeon Forge, The Smoky Mountains National Park and Gatlinburg have to offer. The roads are easy to travel and going up and down the mountain was a breeze. Everything about our experience was very convenient, and it allowed us to focus on having fun without having to worry about anything. The cabin was immaculately clean, well maintained and very comfortable. Just as described. Highly recommended!! Thanks you for making our vacation so wonderful, we can't wait to come back! - The Babich Family

Owner Response

r and Mrs Babich Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We do what we can do to make everybody’s vacation the best it can be and appreciate the complement. February is a nice time to be at the cabin, with the snow and the rolling clouds sounds like the views were ever changing. Glad to hear you guys had a good time and am looking forward to booking your next vacation. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls A Walk In The Clouds

My husband and I come to the mountains any time we get a chance, which is at least 4 times a year, and this was BY FAR our favorite cabin! The pictures do not do the cabin or the view justice. We spent three wonderfully relaxing nights here and can't wait to come back!

Owner Response

hanks Cindy Three relaxinging days in the mountains" it doesn't get any better than that. Hope to hear from you again!!! Ray and Marissa Walls A Walk In The Clouds

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience from working with the owner to finding the cabin exactly as advertised to the wonderful mountain view. We were so pleased that we are planning on returning next year and staying longer. We attended fans of a local university so the proxemity of the cabin to Knoxville only enhanced our travel experience and allowed us to enjoy two basketball games. Our main goal was to relax in a quiet, comfortable cabin and spend quality family time. A Walk in the Clouds met every goal with its spacious rooms, hot tub, and variety of activities. We enjoyed restaurants in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg as well as driving though the mountains. While we didn't take advantage of all that was available, there was such a wide variety of local activities that it would be hard not to find something for everyone. We would highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing getaway or for an adventure loving family.

Owner Response

usan Good to hear you guys got to see your basketball games and still had time to enjoy a drive and some restaurants in the area. Your vacation next year is booked, and it looks like you will have more time to take advantage of some of the many activities in the area. If you need any information on things to do in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, or the Smokies let us know and we will be glad to send them your way. Thanks Again Ray and Marissa Walls A Walk In The Clouds

This was an absolutely perfect cabin. We stayed here with my parents who are in their late 70's and they loved the view. The cabin was clean and had everything needed including video games. It was very close to attractions - 10 minute drive to the main street in Pigeon Forge but it is up a mountain. This is one of the nicest cabins we have stayed in and I would recommend it to everyone. The owners are very easy to work with and seemed to have thought of every detail.

Owner Response

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We are glad your parents enjoyed the views. We try to think of as many details as possible and appreciate you noticing. Looking forward to hearing from in the future. Ray and Marissa Walls

A Walk in the Clouds is so appropriate for describing this wonderful Cabin, the view and the Smoky Mountains. We had an awesome vacation at your cabin! The cabin met all of our expectations, but the coziness that I felt upon entering the cabin was unexpected...I felt like it was mine! Thank you Ray and Marissa for opening up your home to us...we most certainly will be back!!!

Owner Response

obbie Thank You for taking the time to write about you vacation. Good to hear you enjoyed the view as well as the cabin. We spent a lot of time making A Walk In the Clouds as cozy and comfortable as we could and appreciate the fact that you have noticed. Thanks and hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls

My husband, son, mom and dad visited your cabin for 3 nights. We were very pleased and enjoyed our stay. The cabin was everything we thought it would be. The view was spectacular. We liked the fact that it was away from the city but yet close enough to get there within minutes.Thanks for a wonderful time!

Owner Response

lad you had a good time. I try to describe the cabin like it is and am pleased you found it to be that way.

So worth the money for just one night! Me and family loved it! It was so cozy for the four of us and it was up away from town. There was something for all of us to do. Our daughter loved all the games and me and my husband enjoyed the hot tub! Staying here has me on a mission to find and buy a house just like this one!!

Owner Response

ood to see You and your family had a good time, if only for one night. We are glad we could fit you in and we hope next time your vacation can be longer. Ray and Marissa Walls

Starr Crest resort is in a great location, we have stayed there often, It's so easy to get around town, and very close to the parkway if you want to go there, or even closer to the back roads so you do not have to deal with the parkway. If you want to stay in and just enjoy what the cabin has to offer, then there is a pool table, air hockey and many books and board games to boot. Nice hot tub on the upper deck that is so relaxing as you set and enjoy that view. A WALK IN THE CLOUDS cabin is one of the cabins that has a very beautiful view of the Mt. LeConte. The Cabin is very nice and beautifully decorated. The Two King Beds were very comfortable and that is so important when you get to be 50 like me. LOL. The kitchen had everything you needed and then some. Ray the owner is a very nice and so easy to talk to, kinda like you've known him for years. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us and we really enjoyed our hike up Mt. LeConte I'm 50 and My husband is 61, we made it up Alum's Cave to LeConte in 5 hours with 25lb pack packs { because my husband always over packs LOL } we stayed the night, watched the Sun set that night, but it was only 30 degrees the next morning so we stayed under the three wool blankets rather then go see the sun rise. They feed you very well for dinner and the morning meal gave us all the energy we needed to make the return trip down Trillium Gap trail it was a mile longer but we wanted to go up one and come down another, we made it down in 4 1/2 hours and got to see the Lamas as they were headed up to LeConte with supplies Monday morning. We saw lots of bears this Sep as well as Sep of last year, must really be a active month for them. We really like our time in the Smoky Mountains and A WALK IN THE CLOUDS is a nice place to come back to.

Owner Response

think you are our first guest to hike up Mt LeConte. I am about the same age as you guys and hiking Mt leConte is on my list, this gives me inspiration to do it. We are glad you had a good time and appreciate your good words. Ray and Marissa Walls

Marissa and Ray~ This was our second stay at your gorgeous and immaculately clean (very important) cabin!!! Our first stay was in April the week of April 14th 2012 with our son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Danielle. We could hardly wait to visit your cabin again as you might be able to tell since we came back so soon! The location of the cabin is perfect and the peace and quiet was appreciated. The decor of the cabin and the amenities are outstanding...nothing is lacking, even a computer which we appreciated! The pictures are lovely but the cabin is even better in person, if possible!! The ability to bring our small dog with us made our trip complete. Your cabin has the most SPECTACULAR view of the mountains from both of the decks. The view changes constantly depending on the sun and clouds and we never tired of the view! And, there were a couple of times after rain on a hot day that we indeed had a Walk in the Clouds!!! Our first trip to Tennessee was in April and we fell in love with the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area and with your cabin! The drive from the cabin to Pigeon Forge is very short and yet at the cabin we felt like we were miles and miles away from everything. The drive to Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountain National Park is beautiful and scenic and very close. We have barely scratched the surface of things to do and are already looking forward to our return!!! This trip we discovered The Wild Plum Tea Room in Gatlinburg...fantastic...went for lunch twice! And we returned to Cades Cove and Clingman's Dome as well as Parrot Mountain! Next time we'll do more...at approx 100 degrees every day of our visit, it was way too warm to be outside much. You, Ray and Marissa, are terrific to work with and you aim to please, too! We have and will continue to recommend your property to anyone interested in the area! Thank you for sharing your BEAUTIFUL cabin! God Bless you and we hope to return soon!!! Karen and George

Owner Response

ello Karen and George We are pleased to hear you had another successful vacation at a Walk In The Clouds. We think you guys officially stayed in our cabin more than we did so far in 2012 LOL!! You couldn't be so right, the view changes all day with the clouds rolling in and out through the valleys. Glad you enjoyed it!! Hope to hear from you in 2013!! Ray and Marissa Walls

This was a beautiful cabin, we enjoyed the hot tub on the porch surrounded by the gorgeous view of the mountains every night. It was perfect after a day of hiking in the park. I would reccommend it to anyone!!

Owner Response

iking in The Smokeys than relaxing in the hot tub perfect combination. Hope to hear from you again. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

Our trip to the Smokeys and our stay in your beautiful cabin was the best vacation we have ever had. The cabin was perfect in every way. It was very clean and comfortable. Every appliance and device worked perfectly, and the kitchen was so well stocked that we lacked nothing that we needed. The ever changing view was even better than we expected from the pictures. We did not come for the typical tourist stuff, we came to get away and relax. The jacuzzi and hot tub were awesome! The game room was a favorite hang out when we weren't parked on one of the decks enjoying the view. We got to have our dog Reya with us in this pet friendly cabin and that just made the visit even better. Our only out of the cabin activities were a trip to cades cove, and dinner out at the Applewood farm restaurant. The cove was beautiful (but no bear sighting) and we enjoyed the restaurant very much. Ray was very helpful and easy to reach. He gave us great directions and we found the cabin with no problem. Everything about this cabin was great and we highly recommend staying at a Walk in the Clouds to anyone visiting the Smokeys, A friend of ours has already booked a few days in October, and we are already planning to return again next year. Thanks for sharing your Smokey Mountain home with us. We loved it!

Owner Response

The best vacation you ever had in A Walk In The Clouds, pretty awsome. We try to make sure the cabin has every thing you need to relax and not want for anything. We are glad you enjoyed your vacation and looking forward to planning your next stay. Thanks Ray And Marissa Walls

Working with Ray was awesome - he always responded in a timely manner and was very helpful when we decided to change our dates. The cabin was in a perfect location and had nice views. When we arrived we found the cabin very clean and in good shape. Our only complaint was the uncomfortable bed on the main floor and the sofas in the living room. The bed squeaked with every move and the mattress was uncomfortable. The sofas were extremely uncomfortable and seemed to sink to the floor when sitting down. Otherwise, the cabin had everything needed for a perfect vacation. We would have given a perfect score if not for the minor issues mentioned above. Our favorite part of vacation was white water rafting on the Upper Pigeon River at the NOC Outpost. Awesome company, guides and experience!!! And of course there's the food - don't miss out on the Chicken Fried Chicken for Lunch at the Alamo Steak House (some of the best white gravy in town)! Thanks again Ray for a memorable vacation! Pam

Owner Response

Thank You for your compliments. We try to do what we can to make our guest vacations as comfortable as posible. The bedding had been there for a couple of years and were earmarked for replacement at the end of this season. Instead of waiting we went ahead and replaced both beds. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. We try to be proaccative on all of our cabin decision. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

With real estate, including vacation rentals, it's all about LOCATION! This luxurious cabin is situated in a BREATHTAKING location. Views from all angles are spectacular! It is close to anything you could possibly want to do in the eastern TN western NC area! In the community it is in, the cabins are nicely separated. On top of all that, the interior is meticulously clean. We found everything to be just as pictured. Reserve this wonderful cabin without hesitation!! Ray and Marissa...Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us! We had a fantastic time hiking to Grotto Falls, Moonshine tasting in Gatlinburg, Pontoon Boating on Douglas Lake, White Water Rafting on the Little Pigeon, and watching the fireworks on The Fourth of July from the hot tub--something we didn't even know we were going to have a great view for! Everything was ideal. A special note of thanks for the last minute accommodations for our daughter and son-in-law's pet! We had a wonderful time for our first trip to the Smoky Mountains--and hopefully it will not be our last. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else in the future!

Owner Response

You are so right Linda. We spent alot of time looking for the right cabin With the perfect location and when we saw A Walk In The Clouds there was no need to look any more, we were sold. Sounds like your vacation was a nice one. We were glad to accomidate you dauhter, her husband, and there pet. Guest like you guys are the reason doing this is so rewarding. Hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this wonderful cabin with an absolutely amazing view? My wife and I stayed 4 days and 4 nights for our 15th wedding anniversary and loved every minute of it. The cabin is perfect for a family vacation and even better for a romantic retreat. A fabulous place to get away from everything and take a break from the real world. The amenities are top notch. The cabin is immaculately clean (kudos to the lady who does this) and the view from the upper or lower deck is beyond beautiful. We woke up each morning and ate breakfast on the lower deck while watching the sun rise over the Smoky Mountains. The scenery changed every half an hour or so as the sun slowly dissipated the fog meandering through the valleys like lazy rivers. It never got old watching the next set of mountain peaks appear as the "smoke" of the Smoky Mountains lifted. Night time was the most serene and peaceful thing I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The quiet that pervades all throughout the area was almost unbelievable.. So quiet I could hear a the occasional dog bark or a child's giggle from somewhere way down in the valley or the light whoosh of a car moving by on the main road. (Also way down in the valley) While my wife spent much of our time just enjoying not having five kids to take care of we did venture out into the surrounding towns. Pigeon Forge is full of entertainment. If you can't find something to do for fun then you're not looking. The drive to Gatlinburg from Pigeon Forge is along a beautiful scenic highway that is split by the Little Pigeon River. There are pull offs along the way so you can get up close an personal with river and its own natural beauty. Gatinburg is a shoppers dream. If you want it they got it, period. We also traveled to Sevierville to go to Wahoo Ziplines. This is something YOU MUST do. Even if you are not the adventurous type (my wife) you will love the experience. Even my wife, who was more than a little hesitant at first, was thrilled that we did this and talked about it for days afterward. We stayed at "A Walk in The Clouds" the last week of May. The weather was perfect and I highly recommend this time of year for a visit, We will definitely being making a return trip; maybe in the fall this time to watch the leaves changing colors. Thanks Ray and Marissa for a perfect get away. You personal attention to all of the details was easily noticed and meant so much. . John & Kristin

Owner Response

OW what can I say, very well written. I felt like I was there. You discribed the mountain scenery exactly the way it is. The mountains do not change but the ever changing sky gives you different looks all day. Sounds like you guys took advantage of the area and soaked it the esence of what the Smokey mountains truly has to offer. Hope to hear from you on your 16th anniversary. Ray and Marissa Walls

We loved this cabin; the panoramic view of the Smoky Mountains is beautiful! Why would anyone stay at a hotel? The owners were great to work with and very helpful in making activity suggestions in the area. The cabin was clean and very well maintained; it's a comfortable stay for 4 adults and not to mention it’s beautifully decorated. We would stay at (A Walk in the Cloud Cabin) again, if we ever have the opportunity to go back to Tennessee. We would highly recommend this place to a friend. This was our second part of our vacation stay; our first few days were in Nashville. There are so many outdoor activity choices between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Cades Cove is a must, a nice 11 mile scenic driving loop, on Wednesday and Saturday mornings they close the road to motor vehicles to enjoy walking or biking. We experienced some wild life sighting on the loop while driving on Tuesday and biking on Wednesday, deer, turkeys and not to mention a few black bears, one with her three cubs. Other activities we enjoyed in the area, Horseback riding at Walden Stables, the River Rage tubing a great way to cool off and relax, not mention lots of great hiking in the area just to name a few, Abram Falls, Grotto Falls and Clingmans Dome. We enjoyed seeing the Forbidden Caverns; it’s a cool 58 degrees, very nice on a hot day. We had an all-around fabulous trip to Tennessee! The D’s

Owner Response

hanks for taking the time to write this review. Cades Cove, Grotto fallls, Clingmans Dome all out favorits places. We had not been to Forbiddin Caverns, will have go there next time. Glad you had a good time and hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls

I have stayed in several places in Gatlinburg! This was my least favorite. The cabin was ok. I thought the pictures were better than the actual cabin. It was clean for the most part. The internet and television weren't working properly. The heat did not work properly upstairs. We left some clothing accidently and it was never returned. I would not rent this cabin again. We left early.

Owner Response

t has taken us awhile to respond to this review, we put our heart and soul into this cabin and you are the first dissatisfied guest. We had comcast for our Wi-Fi internet provider as well as Wi-Fi wireles thermostats. This was not our best idea. When your cable went out the heat also went out. We have changed our cable provider and installed hard wired thermostats to ensure that this does not happen again. I guess some times state of the art is not necessarily the best option. We had a little difficulty getting your clothing to me so I could ship it but my brother was nice enough to deliver it to me on his way home from his vacation at the cabin and your clothing is on the way. Sorry for the delay. We put alot of effort to make sure the pictures genuinely depict the cabin and the surrounding area. We also have a small web site of our own that have actual guest snap shots to ensure our guest see all our cabin has to offer. We are truly sorry your experience was not satisfactory. However, we welcome all reviews so steps can be taken to make the necessary improvements. Ray and Marissa Walls

My wife and I as well as my parents just returned from a spectacular stay at this cabin. The owner was very responsive and helpful, and the cabin was very very clean which is important, we have stayed places that weren't and spent the 1st day cleaning. It was just as described and even nicer than the pics if that is possible. This was my wife & my third trip to the area, and this was by far the nicest cabin we have stayed in. The views couldn't be more spectacular, the pics can't do it justice. My parents liked it so much they can't wait to go back, we can't either. It was great that the unit was pet friendly and we could have our 2 small chiahuahs with us, they enjoyed the trip, just not each other...The ammenities were great, the cabin couldn't be equipped more. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this cabin to anyone. We thank the owner for allowing us to stay & we hope to be back soon, a walk in the clouds was a very appropriate name, as we were in a cloud a day or 2! 5 stars and 4 big thumbs up, we will refer this to anyone we know going to the area, its impossible to be disappointed by this cabin and the area in general...God bless the owners for sharing... -Mike & Danielle Akron Ohio

ike and Danielle Thank you so much for youe review! It is good to know that all of the hard work that we put into our cabin shows. I will also let Housekeeping know. Thank You Again and hope to hear from you again. PS Good Luck With Baby #4!!!! Ray and Marissa Walls

We just returned from a 3 night stay at A Walk in the Clouds!! Loved it!!! There were 6 of us-3 adults and 3 children (ages 12, 8, and 4) We have stayed in other cabins in Gatlinburg previously but this has the best PANORAMIC view by far!!! Just breathtaking! The drive up to the cabin was refreshing as we have had other drives up to other cabins that were a bit scary and very steep. This was an easy drive up to cabin and I felt very comfortable with it. The cabin is located close to everything!!! No need to worry about sitting in traffic in Gatlinburg-loved this part of the trip! Cabin was well equipped-lots of towels, silverware, cups toilet paper, etc. Kids loved the game room and guitar hero on the Wii! Owners answered both calls that were made to them regarding TV and hot tub!!! Excellent customer service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to return!

Owner Response

ello Danielle We love reading all of the reviews! The fact that you guys have stayed in other cabins and picked A Walk In The Clouds view to be the best is the icing on the cake!! Looking forward to hearing from you again. Thanks Again Ray and Marissa Walls

This cabin was truely as described. It was very clean and had a wonderful game room/bedroom for the children. Added plus was that it took pets. The pictures of the cabin did reflect the property and amenities except I did not think we would be as close to other cabins as we were. This did not mar the scene or atmosphere for us however. The swing outside was wonderful to sit and look at the awesome mountain view. I would recommend staying at this cabin. It is very close to many attractions. I would recommend Dollywood, Wonderworks, ziplining, zorb, Tanger Outlet Mall, Jon Dee hynotist show and the Hatfield & McCoy dinner show.

Owner Response

ello LaVerne Glad to hear you guys had a good time. Sounds like you kept busy with all of the places you recomended. It is also good to hear the other cabins in the resort did nor effect your vacation. My wife and I spent a lot of time picking out the cabin with, anoung other things, the best view along with the most privacy. hope to hear from you again. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

We had such a wonderful vacation in this cabin. The view was spectacular -- even better than the pictures provided. We drank our coffee out on the upper deck every morning and watched the birds and enjoyed the mountain view. It was clean, fully equipped, and met all our needs for 4 adults and 2 kids. Ray provided us with all the information necessary beforehand so we didn't even have to call him while there. We would recommend this cabin, and already have, to other people for sure! A couple of places we ate that we loved were The Alamo Steakhouse and Bennet's BBQ (best smoked ribs). Some of the activities we did were Pigeon Forge Ziplining Canopy Tours. This was the highlight of our trip, besides the view of the mountains from the cabin. We went to Dollywood, to Forbidden Caverns (caves), horseback riding (just one mile further from ziplines), driving tour of Cades Cove and hiking to Abrams Falls, and hiked to Laurel Falls. Laurel Falls was beautiful -- we hiked down to the bottom of the Falls and ate our packed lunch on a huge rock in the running water. Fabulous! We went shopping in Gatlinburg, played Hillbilly Golf, and went on the Ski Lift there as well. We even brought home some Moonshine! All in all, this vacation was great for all ages. My kids loved going in the hot tub (as we all did), playing pool, foosball and air hockey. The gameroom was wonderful. Driving up to the cabin was very interesting the first time up, but after that it was a breeze. What great memories we bring away with us. Thanks again Ray and Marissa!

Owner Response

hanks for your kind words! We try to provide our guest with as much information as they need to plan there vacation and have a goog time. It sounds like you guys also took full advantage of all that A Walk In The Clouds and The Smokey Mountains have to offer. Thanks Again Until next time Ray and Marissa Walls

We just returned from the Smoky's and A Walk in teh Cloud. We spent our entire week on the trails in the park, and this cabin was the perfect way to relax and unwind at the end of each day. Our legs would not have survived the week without the hot tub, and the views while sitting were splendid. Our boys played pool non-stop at night, and their ipods were left idle all week. This was a great bonus!!! We had a great vacation, hiking about 10 miles a day. We climbed to waterfalls and bluffs, and enjoyed bear sightings every day. While fishing we were greeted with river otter. Ray was a pleasure to work with. He was prompt in answering all questions and provided suggestions for evening activities. We were too exhausted most nights, and the cabin was a great respite. The cabin is beautifully decorated and provided the perfect amount of space for our family of four. The views are wonderful. We were greeted with a double rainbow upon arrival. If I had one complain it was the bed on the second floor. It was squeeky, which proved bothersome to me on the lower level. Otherwise, all was great. The kitchen is supplied with all of the basic necessities regarding cooking tools and pots / pans. Our boys were begging to return - and stay in the same cabin - about 2 days into our vacation.

Owner Response

iked 10 miles a day impressive!! I have already addressed the sweeky bed thanks for your input. We had not had a guest yet that had a bear sighting every day, also impressive!! The Smokey Mountain National Park in a pretty amazing place, it is good to hear you guys spent most of your days enjoying it. If you should reserve another vacation we will be sure to order another double rainbow upon your arrival. Ray and Marissa Walls

I absolutely loved my week there! We got Married on the top deck with the mountains as our back drop. The view was amazing!!! The cabin was everything the pics showed,it was clean it felt like home. My daughter loved it there also she is 5. We will be coming back!! I would suggest them to anyone looking for a weekend or a week long getaway! And they were so helpful when I called with any questions,Just GREAT people :) We didn't do much of anything as far as attractions or restaurants,but when we go back there are several we are wanting to go to. We did go to the aquarium,it was so neat!! Again thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cabin/view with me and my family My wedding was just what I expected and more :)

Owner Response

hat can I say! Getting Married on the upper deck with the back drop of the Smokey Mountains, how perfect!!! Sounds like it all came together just like you dreamed. Looking forward to reserving your 1st anniversary vacation. Will do what we can to make it perfect. Ray and Marissa Walls

A Walk in the Clouds was a great place to lodge in late November thru early December. The weather was wonderful yet chilly as expected. It exceeded all of our expectations. All of the descriptions and photos met our expectations. The winding roads leading to the cabin were challenging for "first-timers" but once you get to the cabin at the top, you will be in awe. One thing that could have been better was the description of the loft/other bedroom. Those 2 areas are really one area because there is no separation wall between them. Ray was wonderful at answering all of my questions and always returned my phone calls promptly. He accomodated me with no issue at all when I had a change of reservations. This cabin is a hit and I will definately be returning soon for another getaway. My 2 dogs enjoyed the cabin as well but there was only a small area for them to potty. As a returning combat veteran from Iraq, the Smoky mountains is truly a place of paradise for me....it definately beats the sandbox. Thank you to Ray for this wonderful experience.

Owner Response

e feel privelaged to provide a relaxing getaway for a combat veteran returning from Iraq. We want to thank you for what you do and looking forward to hearing from you again. Ray and Marissa walls

Just return from our first visit to the Smoky Mountains and let me tell you what we were so impressed! I booked this cabin online, so of course we didn't know what to expect. The pictures do not do it justice that's for sure! As we drove up the hill from Pigeon Forge we saw some cabins way up in the mountain, we all said "I hope we are going up there!" And sure enough that's where we went! The cabin has a tremendous view, the pictures do not do it justice. The leaves were still some what colorful with reds and browns. Waking up to this view was so relaxing! The Cabin is very spacious and the kids loved the pool, stereo, and air hockey table! They didn't even play a single video game they were so occupied with the other activities. Everyone loved the hot tub in the evening, especially after hiking up Clingman's Dome! What a hike, but worth every bit! A must see! The ride up to the dome is very scenic. The cabin is well maintained with very nice decor, made us feel at home. The cabin is so conveniently located to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The traffic in to Gatlinburg is crazy! We went also went to Ober Gatlinburg went ice skating, got some Ole Smoky Moonshine, and went Horse Back riding in Cades Cove. The cablevision was out the whole time we were there, but we really didn't miss it. It's nice to get away from it all! The cabin is located in a resort with other cabins, not a single one probably has a bad view! Overall, will be back and definitely have already suggested to friends and relatives!

Owner Response

e especially like it when we can share our cabin with first time visitors to the Great Smokey Mountains. We are glad A Walk In The Clouds added to the experance of your vacation. Looks like you had a great time hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls

We recently stayed at A Walk in the Clouds for three nights over fall break. The best part about the house was, of course, the beautiful view. My kids, 8 and 4, LOVED the game tables upstairs and the hot tub! Thanks for a relaxing getaway!

Owner Response

ichard Thanks for your review. We are pleased the cabin and all of its admenties had something for all ages. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

What a over the top great place to stay. It was clean, comfortable and cozy. My wife and I are counting the days until we can do it again. I have never had a view like the one Walk in The Clouds provides. We have been to the mountains many times but never had it so good!!! We were able to have time playing pool, relaxing in the hot tub, warming by the fire and grilling on the grill. The location of the cabin is perfect we did not miss out on anything. Thanks for sharing such a great spot with us!!! Jeff and Rhonda Martin

Owner Response

hanks Jeff and Rhonda for you kind words. We put our heart and soul into our cabin and knowing our quest enjoy our cabin and everything it has to offer means a lot to us. hope to hear from you guys soon. Thanks again Ray and Marissa Walls

Nice cabin with plenty of ammenities and room. It was close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlingburg but far enough that we had an AMAZING view to wake up to and look at from the hot tub and swing in the porches. The pool was never crowded which was great, too. The one thing that was not my favorite was the road to get there: plenty of tight curves and hills. Small prize to pay for the beautiful views. Will definetively recommend for couples, families, young and not so young :)

Owner Response

It is good to hear you guys had time to enjoy the pool. We agree waking up to the view, from the decks, in the morning, is pretty amazing. Although the roads in the resort are wide, paved, curbed, and have gaurdrails, there are some curves and hills to be aware of. You are right again the prize is the view. Thanks for choosing A Walk In The Clouds for your vacation. Ray and Marissa Walls

We spent a week in A Walk In The Clouds in mid August 2011. My husband, 17 year old son and I really enjoyed this place and would recommend it. There are two decks with an incredible view. There's only one close cabin next door, and the other cabins are further away, making it very quiet and peaceful. There were more amentities than some of the other cabins where we have stayed, like the washer/dryer, computer, wifi, video games, pool table, air hockey, foosball and more. In the early morning hours one night we saw a mama bear with her two cubs right outside the window after they woke us up, which we found very exciting. Apparently that is not the norm, so we were lucky to experience a rare sighting here. This cabin is convenient and close to all the attractions and things to see & do in the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area. We loved the location. The owner Ray was very helpful with ideas on things to do in the area and was happy to answer all our questions with a quick response. The cabin was clean and beautifully decorated. It was amazing waking up on the second level to the first thing you see being the spectacular mountain view. We would defnitely recommend this cabin.

Owner Response

usan, sounds like you guys had a good time. A rare bear and two cubs sighting from the cabin, impresive. We appreciate your comments and glad you enjoyed yourself. hope to hear from you in the future. Ray and Marissa Walls

This was our first trip to the Smokey Mountains and it was great! We loved our cabin and where it was located. The cabin was wonderful and we had tons of fun in the game room and using the hot tub. We also experienced a beautiful light show one night when a thunderstorm came thru. We are already talking about going back and taking friends/family.

Owner Response

hil, Thanks for the complements. High atop the mountains in A Walk In The Clouds is the perfect place to see a thunderstorm, glad you guys had the opportunity to enjoy our cabin and the storm. When you guys decide to return let us know and we will be glad reserve your stay and maybe we can also order another storm lol. Thanks Ray and Marissa walls

A Walk in the Clouds exceeded our expectations. It was probably the most relaxing vacation that any of us have ever had. It was very comfortable and had everything we could possibly need or want. The living room furniture and the beds are very comfortable. The cabin was well-maintained and very clean upon our arrival. The owner was extremely helpful and always available to help in any way possible. He welcomed any questions or concerns and would address them in a very timely manner. It is really a pleasure to deal with him. My personal favorite thing to do was soak in the hot tub. I suffer with a lot of pain so that was just what I needed to soothe my aches away. My Mom enjoyed playing games at the dining room table, watching TV, and swinging in the swing while holding her dog. She was so grateful to be able to bring her along on the trip. We all enjoyed playing dominoes and card games at the table out on the deck too. It was also very relaxing to read outside while enjoying the stunning view. Loved being able to dock our iPod and listen to our favorite music while shooting pool and playing air hockey. It was great to have speakers outside on the upper deck to enjoy music while spending time in the hot tub. This was an AWESOME feature. It was nice having WiFi and access to a computer. The cabin also has lots of movies, games, and books available for guests to use. We took a drive in Gatlinburg - the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. This was the highlight of our trip because we saw a mama bear and her three cubs along the way. The road gets a little narrow at times but it is safe. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. We also went to Cades Cove in the National Park. Didn't see any bears but lots of deer. That was also a beautiful drive. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are so different. Both places are great and each are unique, but I have to say that shopping in Gatlinburg is irresistible. Such a nice place to shop. We didn't go out to eat while we were there but we did enjoy carry-out a few nights from Stonehouse Pizza which is right at the entrance to the resort. Their subs are very good. Anyway, it was a wonderful time. Highly recommended!

Owner Response

OW!!! quite a vacation. Sounds like you guys blended the perfect amount of relaxing and activities, and to top it off you saw a bear and her two cubs. glad to hear from you and hope you choose A Walk In The Clouds for your vacation in the future. Ray and Marissa Walls

We spent our 25th wedding anniversary at this incredible cabin May 9th -14th 2011. Everything was perfect! The hot tub was a favorite with the music playing on the outside speakers. Loved the decor and the game tables in the loft. The view was breathtaking. And Ray & Marissa were just great to deal with. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place. Sincerely Dave&Sue

Owner Response

ave and Sue Thanks for your comments. You nailed our three favorite things also. Hot tub, View, and Music. Glad you guys had a good time hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls A Walk In the Clouds

We just returned from our stay in the luxury cabin A Walk in the Clouds, and I must say our whole family was impressed! We took full advantage of the hot tub on the deck, the variety of entertainment- fooz ball, pool, air hockey, and the awesome stereo sound system. The view was awesome from the deck and we spent a lot of time in the evening just kicking back and relaxing and enjoying the sights-whether it was from the deck furniture or from the hot tub. We hiked several of the trails in the Smokies and were not disappointed-starting with Grotto Falls (moderate level of difficulty), then Laurel Falls (easy), and finally the Ramsey Cascade Falls trail (stenuous level). Overall it was a very memorable vacation, and we look forward to returning and enjoying the hospitality provided by Ray and Marissa Walls in their beautiful cabin. We will definitely recommend A Walk in the Clouds to friends and family.

Owner Response

haron Thanks for taking the time to write a few words about your vacation. It is nice to get away from life for a few days and visit the Smokies. Ray and marissa Walls A Walk In The Clouds

We just returned from a fabulous stay at "A Walk In The Clouds" and are already trying to decide on when we will return. This cabin is a PERFECT choice for a relaxing, super-clean, roomy, comfortable vacation. The location is 5-10 minutes from Dollywood, 5-10 minutes from the main strip in Gatlinburg, with the entrance to the Smoky Mountains just past Gatlinburg. The shopping and attractions of Pigeon Forge are just minutes away but you would never know by how quiet it is once you pull up to this cabin. We had myself, my husband and our 2 adult children. We were together but everyone had their space. After spending the days visiting all that the area had to offer, we were able to come back to the cabin and not feel on top of each other. We hiked the Smoky Mountains on 2 different days (and many more trails that we would have loved to hike), Dollywood 2 days (if you want to do the rides and still have time to shop and see the shows, you will need 2 days), Dixie Stampede (fun for all), a canopy zipline tour with Wildwater (fun AND relaxing), whitewater rafting on the Ocoee River also with Wildwater (a great adventure), and of course lots of great BarBQue, chicken, shopping, etc. WE WANT TO GO BACK TO 'A WALK IN THE WOODS!!" Ray couldn't have been any nicer to deal with and we can't wait to book with him again. You won't be at all disappointed it you stay here. I would highly recommended to anyone to call Ray to make a reservation. Thanks Ray!

indy Thanks for your complements. I do what I can to be as helpful as posible in planning your vacation and appreciate your acknowledgement.

I wasn't sure exactly what to expect since I had never been Tennessee, let alone a "cabin"..well it was for sure a "luxury" cabin. Just as pics show, everything from the decor, to the views were just terrific. We brought our 2 teenage sons and they just loved it too. We enjoyed the surrounding attractions and just "chillin" at the cabin. So much to do. We would highly recommend it to everyone. All the locals seemed to be very nice everywhere we went, from Dollywood to Cades Cove, to Downtown Gatlinburg and even the local stores.....we will definitely return....

Owner Response

ood to hear you guys enjoyed your vacation. The pressure was on when you told me you were taking your kids on this vacation instead of Florida. Glad you took a chance and your kids loved it. This is why we do what we do. Ray and Marissa walls A Walk In The Clouds

My husband and I rented the cabin for our five year anniversary trip. We took our small Havanese with us to enjoy the vacation. We all three had a wonderful time. The view was unbeatable! Every morning when we woke up, it was still magnificent to look at the mountains. One of our biggest concerns about renting a cabin was looking at other cabins the entire time. This was not a problem! We enjoyed the pool table, the hot tub, the surround sound in the game room and on the deck! Our dog ran in and out on the porches and up/down the stairs. He had a great time! We were also concerned about having a place to let the dog relieve himself, but there was plenty of room around the cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Ray was very helpful in getting all the information to us and giving excellent directions to the cabin.

Owner Response

What a wonderful spot for an April vacation! My family and I loved A Walk in the Clouds. We spent most of our time upstairs in the game room and on the deck in the hot tub. The cabin had every amentity we could hope for. Although there are lots of cabins nearby it was quiet and comfortable. Thanks again for an awesome vacation! We look forward to coming back!

Owner Response

We were blown away by the luxury of this cabin. There was so much to occupy us, we only went into nearby Pigeon Forge once the whole weekend. We especially enjoyed the master whirlpool bath, video games, and sunning on the deck in and out of the hot tub. Waking up to such an amazing view was literally breathtaking. The owner was continously available and concerned we have the best time possible. While we were there as two couples, this cabin would be perfect for teens/ kids and older folks as well. Next time, I can save myself hours of searching websites. This is it!

We loved your cabin. It was finished out very nicely and the view is wonderful. We loved the stereo system upstairs where you could dock an ipod and turn on speakers outside for the hottub. Everything as promised. Would rent here again. Thanks

This cabin has one of the most beautiful views in the Smokies. It's very close to Dollywood, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but with all of the amenities that it has, you are tempted to stay in the cabin and enjoy the view, pool table, hot tub, etc. We found the cabin to be really clean, well stocked and comfortable. The owner was very responsive and helpful in planning our stay, and we took his advice and attended the Dixie Stampede, which was well worth the money. Our favorite place to eat in the area was the Alamo Steakhouse, although it costs a little more than we usually spend. We would very highly recommend this cabin for one or two couples or a small family who wants a great getaway.

Thanks for choosing A Walk In The Clouds for your vacation. Ray and Marissa Walls

What a over the top great place to stay. It was clean, comfortable and cozy. My wife and I are counting the days until we can do it again. I have never had a view like the one Walk in The Clouds provides. We have been to the mountains many times but never had it so good!!! We were able to have time playing pool, relaxing in the hot tub, warming by the fire and grilling on the grill. The location of the cabin is perfect we did not miss out on anything. Thanks for sharing such a great spot with us!!! Jeff and Rhonda Martin

Owner Response

Thanks Jeff and Rhonda for you kind words. We put our heart and soul into our cabin and knowing our quest enjoy our cabin and everything it has to offer means a lot to us. hope to hear from you guys soon. Thanks again Ray and Marissa Walls

We recently stayed at A Walk in the Clouds for three nights over fall break. The best part about the house was, of course, the beautiful view. My kids, 8 and 4, LOVED the game tables upstairs and the hot tub! Thanks for a relaxing getaway!

Owner Response

Richard Thanks for your review. We are pleased the cabin and all of its admenties had something for all ages. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

Just return from our first visit to the Smoky Mountains and let me tell you what we were so impressed! I booked this cabin online, so of course we didn't know what to expect. The pictures do not do it justice that's for sure! As we drove up the hill from Pigeon Forge we saw some cabins way up in the mountain, we all said "I hope we are going up there!" And sure enough that's where we went! The cabin has a tremendous view, the pictures do not do it justice. The leaves were still some what colorful with reds and browns. Waking up to this view was so relaxing! The Cabin is very spacious and the kids loved the pool, stereo, and air hockey table! They didn't even play a single video game they were so occupied with the other activities. Everyone loved the hot tub in the evening, especially after hiking up Clingman's Dome! What a hike, but worth every bit! A must see! The ride up to the dome is very scenic. The cabin is well maintained with very nice decor, made us feel at home. The cabin is so conveniently located to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The traffic in to Gatlinburg is crazy! We went also went to Ober Gatlinburg went ice skating, got some Ole Smoky Moonshine, and went Horse Back riding in Cades Cove. The cablevision was out the whole time we were there, but we really didn't miss it. It's nice to get away from it all! The cabin is located in a resort with other cabins, not a single one probably has a bad view! Overall, will be back and definitely have already suggested to friends and relatives!

Owner Response

We especially like it when we can share our cabin with first time visitors to the Great Smokey Mountains. We are glad A Walk In The Clouds added to the experance of your vacation. Looks like you had a great time hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls

A Walk in the Clouds was a great place to lodge in late November thru early December. The weather was wonderful yet chilly as expected. It exceeded all of our expectations. All of the descriptions and photos met our expectations. The winding roads leading to the cabin were challenging for "first-timers" but once you get to the cabin at the top, you will be in awe. One thing that could have been better was the description of the loft/other bedroom. Those 2 areas are really one area because there is no separation wall between them. Ray was wonderful at answering all of my questions and always returned my phone calls promptly. He accomodated me with no issue at all when I had a change of reservations. This cabin is a hit and I will definately be returning soon for another getaway. My 2 dogs enjoyed the cabin as well but there was only a small area for them to potty. As a returning combat veteran from Iraq, the Smoky mountains is truly a place of paradise for me....it definately beats the sandbox. Thank you to Ray for this wonderful experience.

Owner Response

We feel privelaged to provide a relaxing getaway for a combat veteran returning from Iraq. We want to thank you for what you do and looking forward to hearing from you again. Ray and Marissa walls

I have stayed in several places in Gatlinburg! This was my least favorite. The cabin was ok. I thought the pictures were better than the actual cabin. It was clean for the most part. The internet and television weren't working properly. The heat did not work properly upstairs. We left some clothing accidently and it was never returned. I would not rent this cabin again. We left early.

Owner Response

It has taken us awhile to respond to this review, we put our heart and soul into this cabin and you are the first dissatisfied guest. We had comcast for our Wi-Fi internet provider as well as Wi-Fi wireles thermostats. This was not our best idea. When your cable went out the heat also went out. We have changed our cable provider and installed hard wired thermostats to ensure that this does not happen again. I guess some times state of the art is not necessarily the best option. We had a little difficulty getting your clothing to me so I could ship it but my brother was nice enough to deliver it to me on his way home from his vacation at the cabin and your clothing is on the way. Sorry for the delay. We put alot of effort to make sure the pictures genuinely depict the cabin and the surrounding area. We also have a small web site of our own that have actual guest snap shots to ensure our guest see all our cabin has to offer. We are truly sorry your experience was not satisfactory. However, we welcome all reviews so steps can be taken to make the necessary improvements. Ray and Marissa Walls

I absolutely loved my week there! We got Married on the top deck with the mountains as our back drop. The view was amazing!!! The cabin was everything the pics showed,it was clean it felt like home. My daughter loved it there also she is 5. We will be coming back!! I would suggest them to anyone looking for a weekend or a week long getaway! And they were so helpful when I called with any questions,Just GREAT people :) We didn't do much of anything as far as attractions or restaurants,but when we go back there are several we are wanting to go to. We did go to the aquarium,it was so neat!! Again thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cabin/view with me and my family My wedding was just what I expected and more :)

Owner Response

What can I say! Getting Married on the upper deck with the back drop of the Smokey Mountains, how perfect!!! Sounds like it all came together just like you dreamed. Looking forward to reserving your 1st anniversary vacation. Will do what we can to make it perfect. Ray and Marissa Walls

We just returned from the Smoky's and A Walk in teh Cloud. We spent our entire week on the trails in the park, and this cabin was the perfect way to relax and unwind at the end of each day. Our legs would not have survived the week without the hot tub, and the views while sitting were splendid. Our boys played pool non-stop at night, and their ipods were left idle all week. This was a great bonus!!! We had a great vacation, hiking about 10 miles a day. We climbed to waterfalls and bluffs, and enjoyed bear sightings every day. While fishing we were greeted with river otter. Ray was a pleasure to work with. He was prompt in answering all questions and provided suggestions for evening activities. We were too exhausted most nights, and the cabin was a great respite. The cabin is beautifully decorated and provided the perfect amount of space for our family of four. The views are wonderful. We were greeted with a double rainbow upon arrival. If I had one complain it was the bed on the second floor. It was squeeky, which proved bothersome to me on the lower level. Otherwise, all was great. The kitchen is supplied with all of the basic necessities regarding cooking tools and pots / pans. Our boys were begging to return - and stay in the same cabin - about 2 days into our vacation.

Owner Response

Hiked 10 miles a day impressive!! I have already addressed the sweeky bed thanks for your input. We had not had a guest yet that had a bear sighting every day, also impressive!! The Smokey Mountain National Park in a pretty amazing place, it is good to hear you guys spent most of your days enjoying it. If you should reserve another vacation we will be sure to order another double rainbow upon your arrival. Ray and Marissa Walls

This cabin was truely as described. It was very clean and had a wonderful game room/bedroom for the children. Added plus was that it took pets. The pictures of the cabin did reflect the property and amenities except I did not think we would be as close to other cabins as we were. This did not mar the scene or atmosphere for us however. The swing outside was wonderful to sit and look at the awesome mountain view. I would recommend staying at this cabin. It is very close to many attractions. I would recommend Dollywood, Wonderworks, ziplining, zorb, Tanger Outlet Mall, Jon Dee hynotist show and the Hatfield & McCoy dinner show.

Owner Response

Hello LaVerne Glad to hear you guys had a good time. Sounds like you kept busy with all of the places you recomended. It is also good to hear the other cabins in the resort did nor effect your vacation. My wife and I spent a lot of time picking out the cabin with, anoung other things, the best view along with the most privacy. hope to hear from you again. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

We had such a wonderful vacation in this cabin. The view was spectacular -- even better than the pictures provided. We drank our coffee out on the upper deck every morning and watched the birds and enjoyed the mountain view. It was clean, fully equipped, and met all our needs for 4 adults and 2 kids. Ray provided us with all the information necessary beforehand so we didn't even have to call him while there. We would recommend this cabin, and already have, to other people for sure! A couple of places we ate that we loved were The Alamo Steakhouse and Bennet's BBQ (best smoked ribs). Some of the activities we did were Pigeon Forge Ziplining Canopy Tours. This was the highlight of our trip, besides the view of the mountains from the cabin. We went to Dollywood, to Forbidden Caverns (caves), horseback riding (just one mile further from ziplines), driving tour of Cades Cove and hiking to Abrams Falls, and hiked to Laurel Falls. Laurel Falls was beautiful -- we hiked down to the bottom of the Falls and ate our packed lunch on a huge rock in the running water. Fabulous! We went shopping in Gatlinburg, played Hillbilly Golf, and went on the Ski Lift there as well. We even brought home some Moonshine! All in all, this vacation was great for all ages. My kids loved going in the hot tub (as we all did), playing pool, foosball and air hockey. The gameroom was wonderful. Driving up to the cabin was very interesting the first time up, but after that it was a breeze. What great memories we bring away with us. Thanks again Ray and Marissa!

Owner Response

Thanks for your kind words! We try to provide our guest with as much information as they need to plan there vacation and have a goog time. It sounds like you guys also took full advantage of all that A Walk In The Clouds and The Smokey Mountains have to offer. Thanks Again Until next time Ray and Marissa Walls

My wife and I as well as my parents just returned from a spectacular stay at this cabin. The owner was very responsive and helpful, and the cabin was very very clean which is important, we have stayed places that weren't and spent the 1st day cleaning. It was just as described and even nicer than the pics if that is possible. This was my wife & my third trip to the area, and this was by far the nicest cabin we have stayed in. The views couldn't be more spectacular, the pics can't do it justice. My parents liked it so much they can't wait to go back, we can't either. It was great that the unit was pet friendly and we could have our 2 small chiahuahs with us, they enjoyed the trip, just not each other...The ammenities were great, the cabin couldn't be equipped more. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this cabin to anyone. We thank the owner for allowing us to stay & we hope to be back soon, a walk in the clouds was a very appropriate name, as we were in a cloud a day or 2! 5 stars and 4 big thumbs up, we will refer this to anyone we know going to the area, its impossible to be disappointed by this cabin and the area in general...God bless the owners for sharing... -Mike & Danielle Akron Ohio

Owner Response

Mike and Danielle Thank you so much for youe review! It is good to know that all of the hard work that we put into our cabin shows. I will also let Housekeeping know. Thank You Again and hope to hear from you again. PS Good Luck With Baby #4!!!! Ray and Marissa Walls

We just returned from a 3 night stay at A Walk in the Clouds!! Loved it!!! There were 6 of us-3 adults and 3 children (ages 12, 8, and 4) We have stayed in other cabins in Gatlinburg previously but this has the best PANORAMIC view by far!!! Just breathtaking! The drive up to the cabin was refreshing as we have had other drives up to other cabins that were a bit scary and very steep. This was an easy drive up to cabin and I felt very comfortable with it. The cabin is located close to everything!!! No need to worry about sitting in traffic in Gatlinburg-loved this part of the trip! Cabin was well equipped-lots of towels, silverware, cups toilet paper, etc. Kids loved the game room and guitar hero on the Wii! Owners answered both calls that were made to them regarding TV and hot tub!!! Excellent customer service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to return!

Owner Response

Hello Danielle We love reading all of the reviews! The fact that you guys have stayed in other cabins and picked A Walk In The Clouds view to be the best is the icing on the cake!! Looking forward to hearing from you again. Thanks Again Ray and Marissa Walls

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this wonderful cabin with an absolutely amazing view? My wife and I stayed 4 days and 4 nights for our 15th wedding anniversary and loved every minute of it. The cabin is perfect for a family vacation and even better for a romantic retreat. A fabulous place to get away from everything and take a break from the real world. The amenities are top notch. The cabin is immaculately clean (kudos to the lady who does this) and the view from the upper or lower deck is beyond beautiful. We woke up each morning and ate breakfast on the lower deck while watching the sun rise over the Smoky Mountains. The scenery changed every half an hour or so as the sun slowly dissipated the fog meandering through the valleys like lazy rivers. It never got old watching the next set of mountain peaks appear as the "smoke" of the Smoky Mountains lifted. Night time was the most serene and peaceful thing I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The quiet that pervades all throughout the area was almost unbelievable.. So quiet I could hear a the occasional dog bark or a child's giggle from somewhere way down in the valley or the light whoosh of a car moving by on the main road. (Also way down in the valley) While my wife spent much of our time just enjoying not having five kids to take care of we did venture out into the surrounding towns. Pigeon Forge is full of entertainment. If you can't find something to do for fun then you're not looking. The drive to Gatlinburg from Pigeon Forge is along a beautiful scenic highway that is split by the Little Pigeon River. There are pull offs along the way so you can get up close an personal with river and its own natural beauty. Gatinburg is a shoppers dream. If you want it they got it, period. We also traveled to Sevierville to go to Wahoo Ziplines. This is something YOU MUST do. Even if you are not the adventurous type (my wife) you will love the experience. Even my wife, who was more than a little hesitant at first, was thrilled that we did this and talked about it for days afterward. We stayed at "A Walk in The Clouds" the last week of May. The weather was perfect and I highly recommend this time of year for a visit, We will definitely being making a return trip; maybe in the fall this time to watch the leaves changing colors. Thanks Ray and Marissa for a perfect get away. You personal attention to all of the details was easily noticed and meant so much. . John & Kristin

Owner Response

WOW what can I say, very well written. I felt like I was there. You discribed the mountain scenery exactly the way it is. The mountains do not change but the ever changing sky gives you different looks all day. Sounds like you guys took advantage of the area and soaked it the esence of what the Smokey mountains truly has to offer. Hope to hear from you on your 16th anniversary. Ray and Marissa Walls

We loved this cabin; the panoramic view of the Smoky Mountains is beautiful! Why would anyone stay at a hotel? The owners were great to work with and very helpful in making activity suggestions in the area. The cabin was clean and very well maintained; it's a comfortable stay for 4 adults and not to mention it’s beautifully decorated. We would stay at (A Walk in the Cloud Cabin) again, if we ever have the opportunity to go back to Tennessee. We would highly recommend this place to a friend. This was our second part of our vacation stay; our first few days were in Nashville. There are so many outdoor activity choices between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Cades Cove is a must, a nice 11 mile scenic driving loop, on Wednesday and Saturday mornings they close the road to motor vehicles to enjoy walking or biking. We experienced some wild life sighting on the loop while driving on Tuesday and biking on Wednesday, deer, turkeys and not to mention a few black bears, one with her three cubs. Other activities we enjoyed in the area, Horseback riding at Walden Stables, the River Rage tubing a great way to cool off and relax, not mention lots of great hiking in the area just to name a few, Abram Falls, Grotto Falls and Clingmans Dome. We enjoyed seeing the Forbidden Caverns; it’s a cool 58 degrees, very nice on a hot day. We had an all-around fabulous trip to Tennessee! The D’s

Owner Response

Thanks for taking the time to write this review. Cades Cove, Grotto fallls, Clingmans Dome all out favorits places. We had not been to Forbiddin Caverns, will have go there next time. Glad you had a good time and hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls

My family and I vacationed in Pigeon Forge at 'A Walk in the Clouds". On the way into the cabin, my family and I were looking at all the things to do along the Pigeon Forge Parkway. I researched the area before going on vacation. But, when we got there, I realized we would need a lot more time to experience everything that we wanted to do while in Pigeon Forge. We got off the parkway and headed for our vacation home. In just what seemed like minutes, we were at the cabin. When we got to the cabin, the first thing we noticed were the amazing views. They are even more amazing than the pictures. I think it is something you have to experience to appreciate. The next thing we noticed was that the owners seemed to think of everything to make our trip pleasant and luxurious. This is not an ordinary cabin in the woods. We did not feel like we were roughing it at all. We wanted a vacation in the mountains and this cabin is perfect. There are so many things to do in the area. We went to the Smoky Mountains National Park and explored Cades Cove. My two children and I sat in on a ranger talk. We saw a bear on the way back. My daughter wanted to do horseback riding and zip lining. There was a place to do both near the cabin. We loved that you could go out and do so many things and come back and feel like you are miles away from it all. We loved it so much that we had to go back. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us.

Owner Response

Thanks for yopur comments.

With real estate, including vacation rentals, it's all about LOCATION! This luxurious cabin is situated in a BREATHTAKING location. Views from all angles are spectacular! It is close to anything you could possibly want to do in the eastern TN western NC area! In the community it is in, the cabins are nicely separated. On top of all that, the interior is meticulously clean. We found everything to be just as pictured. Reserve this wonderful cabin without hesitation!! Ray and Marissa...Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us! We had a fantastic time hiking to Grotto Falls, Moonshine tasting in Gatlinburg, Pontoon Boating on Douglas Lake, White Water Rafting on the Little Pigeon, and watching the fireworks on The Fourth of July from the hot tub--something we didn't even know we were going to have a great view for! Everything was ideal. A special note of thanks for the last minute accommodations for our daughter and son-in-law's pet! We had a wonderful time for our first trip to the Smoky Mountains--and hopefully it will not be our last. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else in the future!

Owner Response

You are so right Linda. We spent alot of time looking for the right cabin With the perfect location and when we saw A Walk In The Clouds there was no need to look any more, we were sold. Sounds like your vacation was a nice one. We were glad to accomidate you dauhter, her husband, and there pet. Guest like you guys are the reason doing this is so rewarding. Hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls

Working with Ray was awesome - he always responded in a timely manner and was very helpful when we decided to change our dates. The cabin was in a perfect location and had nice views. When we arrived we found the cabin very clean and in good shape. Our only complaint was the uncomfortable bed on the main floor and the sofas in the living room. The bed squeaked with every move and the mattress was uncomfortable. The sofas were extremely uncomfortable and seemed to sink to the floor when sitting down. Otherwise, the cabin had everything needed for a perfect vacation. We would have given a perfect score if not for the minor issues mentioned above. Our favorite part of vacation was white water rafting on the Upper Pigeon River at the NOC Outpost. Awesome company, guides and experience!!! And of course there's the food - don't miss out on the Chicken Fried Chicken for Lunch at the Alamo Steak House (some of the best white gravy in town)! Thanks again Ray for a memorable vacation! Pam

Owner Response

Thank You for your compliments. We try to do what we can to make our guest vacations as comfortable as posible. The bedding had been there for a couple of years and were earmarked for replacement at the end of this season. Instead of waiting we went ahead and replaced both beds. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. We try to be proaccative on all of our cabin decision. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

Our trip to the Smokeys and our stay in your beautiful cabin was the best vacation we have ever had. The cabin was perfect in every way. It was very clean and comfortable. Every appliance and device worked perfectly, and the kitchen was so well stocked that we lacked nothing that we needed. The ever changing view was even better than we expected from the pictures. We did not come for the typical tourist stuff, we came to get away and relax. The jacuzzi and hot tub were awesome! The game room was a favorite hang out when we weren't parked on one of the decks enjoying the view. We got to have our dog Reya with us in this pet friendly cabin and that just made the visit even better. Our only out of the cabin activities were a trip to cades cove, and dinner out at the Applewood farm restaurant. The cove was beautiful (but no bear sighting) and we enjoyed the restaurant very much. Ray was very helpful and easy to reach. He gave us great directions and we found the cabin with no problem. Everything about this cabin was great and we highly recommend staying at a Walk in the Clouds to anyone visiting the Smokeys, A friend of ours has already booked a few days in October, and we are already planning to return again next year. Thanks for sharing your Smokey Mountain home with us. We loved it!

Owner Response

The best vacation you ever had in A Walk In The Clouds, pretty awsome. We try to make sure the cabin has every thing you need to relax and not want for anything. We are glad you enjoyed your vacation and looking forward to planning your next stay. Thanks Ray And Marissa Walls

This was a beautiful cabin, we enjoyed the hot tub on the porch surrounded by the gorgeous view of the mountains every night. It was perfect after a day of hiking in the park. I would reccommend it to anyone!!

Owner Response

Hiking in The Smokeys than relaxing in the hot tub perfect combination. Hope to hear from you again. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

Marissa and Ray~ This was our second stay at your gorgeous and immaculately clean (very important) cabin!!! Our first stay was in April the week of April 14th 2012 with our son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Danielle. We could hardly wait to visit your cabin again as you might be able to tell since we came back so soon! The location of the cabin is perfect and the peace and quiet was appreciated. The decor of the cabin and the amenities are outstanding...nothing is lacking, even a computer which we appreciated! The pictures are lovely but the cabin is even better in person, if possible!! The ability to bring our small dog with us made our trip complete. Your cabin has the most SPECTACULAR view of the mountains from both of the decks. The view changes constantly depending on the sun and clouds and we never tired of the view! And, there were a couple of times after rain on a hot day that we indeed had a Walk in the Clouds!!! Our first trip to Tennessee was in April and we fell in love with the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area and with your cabin! The drive from the cabin to Pigeon Forge is very short and yet at the cabin we felt like we were miles and miles away from everything. The drive to Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountain National Park is beautiful and scenic and very close. We have barely scratched the surface of things to do and are already looking forward to our return!!! This trip we discovered The Wild Plum Tea Room in Gatlinburg...fantastic...went for lunch twice! And we returned to Cades Cove and Clingman's Dome as well as Parrot Mountain! Next time we'll do more...at approx 100 degrees every day of our visit, it was way too warm to be outside much. You, Ray and Marissa, are terrific to work with and you aim to please, too! We have and will continue to recommend your property to anyone interested in the area! Thank you for sharing your BEAUTIFUL cabin! God Bless you and we hope to return soon!!! Karen and George

Owner Response

Hello Karen and George We are pleased to hear you had another successful vacation at a Walk In The Clouds. We think you guys officially stayed in our cabin more than we did so far in 2012 LOL!! You couldn't be so right, the view changes all day with the clouds rolling in and out through the valleys. Glad you enjoyed it!! Hope to hear from you in 2013!! Ray and Marissa Walls

Starr Crest resort is in a great location, we have stayed there often, It's so easy to get around town, and very close to the parkway if you want to go there, or even closer to the back roads so you do not have to deal with the parkway. If you want to stay in and just enjoy what the cabin has to offer, then there is a pool table, air hockey and many books and board games to boot. Nice hot tub on the upper deck that is so relaxing as you set and enjoy that view. A WALK IN THE CLOUDS cabin is one of the cabins that has a very beautiful view of the Mt. LeConte. The Cabin is very nice and beautifully decorated. The Two King Beds were very comfortable and that is so important when you get to be 50 like me. LOL. The kitchen had everything you needed and then some. Ray the owner is a very nice and so easy to talk to, kinda like you've known him for years. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us and we really enjoyed our hike up Mt. LeConte I'm 50 and My husband is 61, we made it up Alum's Cave to LeConte in 5 hours with 25lb pack packs { because my husband always over packs LOL } we stayed the night, watched the Sun set that night, but it was only 30 degrees the next morning so we stayed under the three wool blankets rather then go see the sun rise. They feed you very well for dinner and the morning meal gave us all the energy we needed to make the return trip down Trillium Gap trail it was a mile longer but we wanted to go up one and come down another, we made it down in 4 1/2 hours and got to see the Lamas as they were headed up to LeConte with supplies Monday morning. We saw lots of bears this Sep as well as Sep of last year, must really be a active month for them. We really like our time in the Smoky Mountains and A WALK IN THE CLOUDS is a nice place to come back to.

Owner Response

I think you are our first guest to hike up Mt LeConte. I am about the same age as you guys and hiking Mt leConte is on my list, this gives me inspiration to do it. We are glad you had a good time and appreciate your good words. Ray and Marissa Walls

So worth the money for just one night! Me and family loved it! It was so cozy for the four of us and it was up away from town. There was something for all of us to do. Our daughter loved all the games and me and my husband enjoyed the hot tub! Staying here has me on a mission to find and buy a house just like this one!!

Owner Response

Good to see You and your family had a good time, if only for one night. We are glad we could fit you in and we hope next time your vacation can be longer. Ray and Marissa Walls

My husband, son, mom and dad visited your cabin for 3 nights. We were very pleased and enjoyed our stay. The cabin was everything we thought it would be. The view was spectacular. We liked the fact that it was away from the city but yet close enough to get there within minutes.Thanks for a wonderful time!

Owner Response

Glad you had a good time. I try to describe the cabin like it is and am pleased you found it to be that way.

A Walk in the Clouds is so appropriate for describing this wonderful Cabin, the view and the Smoky Mountains. We had an awesome vacation at your cabin! The cabin met all of our expectations, but the coziness that I felt upon entering the cabin was unexpected...I felt like it was mine! Thank you Ray and Marissa for opening up your home to us...we most certainly will be back!!!

Owner Response

Bobbie Thank You for taking the time to write about you vacation. Good to hear you enjoyed the view as well as the cabin. We spent a lot of time making A Walk In the Clouds as cozy and comfortable as we could and appreciate the fact that you have noticed. Thanks and hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls

This was an absolutely perfect cabin. We stayed here with my parents who are in their late 70's and they loved the view. The cabin was clean and had everything needed including video games. It was very close to attractions - 10 minute drive to the main street in Pigeon Forge but it is up a mountain. This is one of the nicest cabins we have stayed in and I would recommend it to everyone. The owners are very easy to work with and seemed to have thought of every detail.

Owner Response

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We are glad your parents enjoyed the views. We try to think of as many details as possible and appreciate you noticing. Looking forward to hearing from in the future. Ray and Marissa Walls

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience from working with the owner to finding the cabin exactly as advertised to the wonderful mountain view. We were so pleased that we are planning on returning next year and staying longer. We attended fans of a local university so the proxemity of the cabin to Knoxville only enhanced our travel experience and allowed us to enjoy two basketball games. Our main goal was to relax in a quiet, comfortable cabin and spend quality family time. A Walk in the Clouds met every goal with its spacious rooms, hot tub, and variety of activities. We enjoyed restaurants in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg as well as driving though the mountains. While we didn't take advantage of all that was available, there was such a wide variety of local activities that it would be hard not to find something for everyone. We would highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing getaway or for an adventure loving family.

Owner Response

Susan Good to hear you guys got to see your basketball games and still had time to enjoy a drive and some restaurants in the area. Your vacation next year is booked, and it looks like you will have more time to take advantage of some of the many activities in the area. If you need any information on things to do in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, or the Smokies let us know and we will be glad to send them your way. Thanks Again Ray and Marissa Walls A Walk In The Clouds

My husband and I come to the mountains any time we get a chance, which is at least 4 times a year, and this was BY FAR our favorite cabin! The pictures do not do the cabin or the view justice. We spent three wonderfully relaxing nights here and can't wait to come back!

Owner Response

Thanks Cindy Three relaxinging days in the mountains" it doesn't get any better than that. Hope to hear from you again!!! Ray and Marissa Walls A Walk In The Clouds

We stayed at the cabin during February for a week of some much needed peace and quiet. Words cannot describe how happy we were with the entire experience! The cabin is absolutely beautiful! Even better than the photos in the listing. Communication with Ray was easy and he was very helpful with tips about the area. The furnishings and decor make it feel very warm and cozy, and we felt at home right away. The views from every room are absolutely breathtaking! The view was changing every day, and we even got to wake up completely surrounded by clouds (and a rainbow!) rolling in over the mountains. It snowed for a couple of days during our stay, and the entire area looked like a beautiful postcard - it was amazing to see everything covered in snow, like a real winter wonderland. The area and location are great, with easy access to everything Pigeon Forge, The Smoky Mountains National Park and Gatlinburg have to offer. The roads are easy to travel and going up and down the mountain was a breeze. Everything about our experience was very convenient, and it allowed us to focus on having fun without having to worry about anything. The cabin was immaculately clean, well maintained and very comfortable. Just as described. Highly recommended!! Thanks you for making our vacation so wonderful, we can't wait to come back! - The Babich Family

Mr and Mrs Babich Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We do what we can do to make everybody’s vacation the best it can be and appreciate the complement. February is a nice time to be at the cabin, with the snow and the rolling clouds sounds like the views were ever changing. Glad to hear you guys had a good time and am looking forward to booking your next vacation. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls A Walk In The Clouds

Our trip to Pigeon Forge couldn't have been any better! Thank you Ray and Marissa... we loved the cabin, the view was incredible and the place was really comfortable. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for the week. It was so nice to wake up to the amazing view of the mountains. Ray was very helpful and available to answer any questions we had. We stayed for a week after driving down from Connecticut with two 12 year old boys and our dog. The boys enjoyed all the games and were occupied with fun things to do all week. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed exploring the GSM National Park. Everyone we met in town was friendly and very helpful. We definitely expect to go back again and again.

Owner Response

Good to hear you had a good vacation after driving all of the way from Connecticut. Its nice to have guest visit our cabin from that far north. We are glad you and the boys enjoyed yourselves and the weather was nice. We do what we can to answer all of your questions in effort to make your vacation as eventful as posible. It is good to be reconized. Thanks for taking the time to write this review and hope to hear from you in the future Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

The cabin was absolutely beautiful with an amazing view. It was everything that we hoped it would be. We look forward to spending more time at this location and are grateful for all the information Ray gave us regarding local attractions. We would definitely recommend this cabin to others looking to experience a relaxing get away. Sincerely, Steve Williams and Jennifer Kilbourne

Owner Response

Thanks Steve and Jennifer for taking the time to write about your stay. happy to hear you hade a good time the attractions email I had sent you was useful. Hope to hear from you again. Thanks Again Ray and Marissa Walls A Walk In The Clouds

We were seeking a relaxing vacation. A quite place with a view that would make you feel that you really did not need to leave the cabin. A Walk in the Clouds was just what we were looking for. Ray was very honest and easy to work with. He gave some very good tips for things to do in the area and places to eat. This was our nineth time in the area but the first time that we spent so much time in Gatlinburg. We had a few rainy days but that was okay, we stayed at the cabin and just soaked in the nature and view ! I think this is a great place for a couple or two couples sharing the cabin. The upstairs bedroom is a loft style, so yes it is open, but yet it is still private enough if you did have another couple staying with you. You would each have your own bathrooms next to your bedrooms. The game tables are in the bedroom and you did get to the deck that holds the hot tub from this room. But again the room is LARGE . The cabins furnishings are beautiful !! We would recommend this to anyone looking for a beauty of a place to relax.

Owner Response

Thanks for taking the time from your day to write a review. Glad you had a good time and enjoyed Gatlinburg as well as our cabin. Even the rainy days are nice in the Smokys. Hope to hear from you in the future. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

My two college-age daughters and I had a wonderful first trip to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. A Walk In the Clouds was perfect--away from the traffic of Gatlinburg but a short drive to the park. We spent our days hiking and our nights at the cabin. Would recommend hikes to Grotto Falls, Alum Cave, Abrams Falls (Cades Cove) and Andrews Bald (Clingman's Dome). We ziplined at Wahoo and had delicious meals at Wild Plum and Old Mill Pottery House Cafe & Grille. The views from A Walk in the Clouds are fantastic and the cabin is pristine and comfortable. Although the cabins nearby were occupied, it was quiet and peaceful. We will definitely recommend this home to others who are planning to visit the area.

Owner Response

Thanks for taking the time to share your vacation with us. Sounds like you took advantage of the hikes the Smoky mountains offer as well as some good dining. Hope to hear from you again Ray and Marissa Walls

The minute we walked in the door at "A Walk In The Clouds" we felt like it was home. From the beautiful furniture and decorations to the breathtaking views, this is a great place to stay. We loved the hot tub and the pool table and enjoying our morning coffee in the swing watching the clouds roll through the mountains. The cabin is exceptionally clean and the beds are very comfortable. Ray and Marissa we great to work with. We will definitely stay here again!

Owner Response

We put alot of ourselves into decorating our cabin ans makes us feel good when our guest acknowledge and enjoy it. Glad you had a good time and hope to hear from you again

We really enjoyed this cabin! To start off, It was beautifully decorated, very good taste in furnishings and decor! Very clean in every nook and cranny. It was not difficult to get to, and the view was magnificent! Always a different view of the mountains! Placed very high up, you could see for miles around. We loved watching the clouds roll over and around the valleys. The cabin was comfortable, we slept like babies in the comfy beds! It felt cozy and homey. Plenty of hot water for showers and jacuzzi. Ray and Marissa thought of everything! Right down to candles placed throughout for romancing if that is what you are looking for. Everything you could imagine you might need in the kitchen. We made several meals there. Our teenage son enjoyed playing pool with us, and entertaining himself with video games while my husband and I enjoyed the sunset, or having a few drinks on the balcony. The stereo for the game room that also played on outdoor speakers by the hot tub was a great addition! We were able to dock our ipod and listen to our favorite music while relaxing and playing games with our son. Highly recommend staying here! Thanks again for contributing to a worry-free vacation! Charlie & Angela

Owner Response

Charlie and Angela Thanks for taking the time to write a review. After all of the nice things you said about the cabin and the view, what I liked the most was the part about your worry free vacation. This is our goal and we are happy to have contributed to it. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

We had an instant connection with Ray Walls when we talked on the phone and just knew this was the cabin for us. We loved everything about it. The views when we woke up in the morning were indescribable. The mountains, which were a 180 degree view, were constantly changing. The cabin itself had everything anyone could want. We felt that "our" cabin was the best in the neighborhood. It hit the 5 star button. Golfing was 5 minutes down the road. The Smoky Mt. National Park was 10 minutes down the road. Gatlinburg was a nice retreat for dinner. Walk in the Clouds is where we would recommend anyone going to this area to stay. We can't say enough positive feedback about our home away from home. Thank you Ray for allowing us to be your guests!!!

Owner Response

Hello Diane Reviews like yours is the reason we do what we do. We have been on vacations before where we would say " the next time we come here we are going to stay in that place over there" Our goal, when purchasing our cabin, was to make sure our cabin was "the place over there" and we appreciate the fact that you feel this way also. In our eyes , although we might be a little bias, A Walk In The Clouds Cabin is the best in the resort. Thanks for taking the time to write a review and hope to hear from you again! Ray and Marissa Walls

We stayed at "A Walk In The Clouds" 10 days. There really aren't any negative things to say. The cabin was immaculate. We usually visit the area twice a year. This was by far the best cabin we've stayed in. The small things like the computer, paper towels, tolet paper, stamped post cards, etc. were really appreciated. From our experience none of these things are usually included. The view is just awesome. You are in a resort and there are cabins around you, but you still feel you have plenty of privacy. The cabin has plenty of entertainment. The owners were great to deal with. You're also close to all the entertainment in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The roads all the way to the cabin door are blacktop and easy to navigate. We really enjoy the area and this cabin. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to a friend or relative. The listing description was very accurate as far as the amenities and the location. We'll be back early next year.

Owner Response

Hello Ed Going through my web site I noticed I did not respond to your review. Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Ten days is a good amount of time to spend in the smokys. You get to visit all of the sites you want to visit and also have plenty of time to just relax and soak in the views. The fact you booked for another ten days this winter leads me to belive you agree!! The winter is a good time to be in the Smokys, we go every year in January. The crowds are not there, the restaurants are not as busy and who knows maybe you could get a little snow. Good luck on your next vacation!!!! Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

Absolutely Beautiful cabin. Everything top-notch luxury. Really a lot more than expected for the money. You can tell Ray and his wife are a top level management team. Views are spectacular; and close to everything in Gaitlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Everything is even better than it is pictured.

Owner Response

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. My wife Marissa and I do what we can to make our guest vacations as enjoyable as posible. We appriciate you noticing and commenting on our efforts. Reviews like yours are a large part of the reason why we do what we do. Thanks Again Ray and Marissa Walls

This cabin was perfect for our stay in Pigeon Forge and we'd definitely stay here again! The location was really convenient to town and activities, but still felt pretty secluded. The view was unbelievable! We had our dog with us and there were plenty of places to walk her. The cabin was clean, well-appointed with everything we needed, and the owners were very friendly. Enjoyed our stay!

Owner Response

Hello Melissa I am glad you enjoyed your vacation. We do what we can to make your vacation as enjoyable as me can and appreciate your acknowledgment. Hope to hear from you again. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

We got to Starr Crest Resorts and started to drive -up -up -up and there it was. Our cabin for the week ! WOW ,What a view. The cabin was clean , comfortable and inviting. There were two couples and still were able to have your own space. I want to thank Ray and Marissa for letting us stay at their wonderful cabin. Watching the sun rise in the hot tub was my personal favorite.

Owner Response

Glad you enjoyed the cabin and the view. The sunrises are pretty cool. I recieved an email from a guest with a picture of a sunrise and I put it with my VRBO pictures. You should check it out it is incredible. Thanks Again Ray

I cannot add much more to the previous reviews other than agree with all the positives found there. Cabin was as described in web site and reviews found there, great views. We were pleased and surprised with all the amenities included in cabin. Excellent location, cabin is located in a cul-de-sac with one additional cabin next door, eliminating drive by traffic. My wife enjoyed the fact you could actually walk around the cabin’s exterior grounds, many cabins are built on the side of the mountain, leaving little or no exterior grounds. Cabin is close to Pigeon Forge and other areas of interest. In the middle of the afternoon we observed a bear lumbering up a neighbor’s driveway. Ray was a pleasure to work with and very helpful.

Owner Response

We are happy to here you had enjoyed the cabin. We are always adding things to improve the cabin and appriciate your comments. hope to hear from you again

The cabin, the view, the whole experience was phenomenal! Everything was perfect. I will run out of adjectives, but you get the picture. Can't remember how many times we said we wished we could share this with other family and friends. Next time we will. Already planning a return trip next year. Ray was extremely helpful in all areas (answering questions promptly, providing points of interest etc.). A lifetime experience and looking forward to many more.

Owner Response

WOW, phenomenal and Life time experience these are powerful words. We feel the same way and love to hear when guest comment on the same. Looking forward to hearing from you along with your other family members. The cabin next door can be rented along with ours. We do this when we have a big group and it works out great. Thanks for your comments Ray

Our stay at a Walk in the Clouds was simply divine! The place is everything it claimed to be and more. The view was simply a touch of heaven. Our timing was perfect for viewing the fall colors of the leaves. I am not a morning person, but saw the most beautiful sunrises EVER. The cabin was immaculately clean and my interactions with Ray were excellent. I would highly recommend this as a great relaxing, get away place!

Owner Response

I do believe you hit the fall foilage perfect. I want to thank you for sending me the picture of the incredible sunrise you saw. I put it on my screen saver and added it to my picture portfilio on VRBO. Hope to here from you again. Ray

I only have positive things to say about this place. This was a weekend getaway with my mom, sister and her toddler. Finding the cabin was a breeze with the detailed directions Ray provided. We fell in love with the place as soon as we walked in. Loved the cozy livingroom and fireplace but my favorite place was upstairs in gameroom. Great view of mountains while playing pool and dancing around to music. The outdoor hottub was so relaxing. We did not want to leave, we will be back and this next time will be longer than a weekend! Also this cabin has so many ammenities, they really thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and luxerious!

Owner Response

Thank You for the complements. We do what we can to make our cabin as comfortable as posible and glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to hear from you on your next vacation. Ray and Marissa Walls

This was our 2nd visit to this cabin. The same things I said in my first review still apply. Our stay was as good or better then the first one. The owners as usual were great to deal with. Everything worked well and was very clean. We even got married at the Smokey Mountain Wedding Chapel this time. Hopefully this will be our anniversary trip every year. Thanks again

Owner Response

Thanks Ed for your kind words. A Walk In The Clouds Cabin and the Smokys have always been special to us and now it will always be special to you guys also. Congradulations on your wedding. We had no idea. You could not have picked a better place. hope to haer from you again. Thanks Again Ray and Marissa Walls

This cabin was beyond our expectations. It was warm and inviting. We felt at home the enitre week we were there. The view is absolutely breath taking. We couldn't of picked a better place to stay. We will definately use this cabin for any of our Tennessee vacations. We are already planning a Summer vacation. We will not stay any where else. It was very affordable and the owners were pleasant to deal with and talk to. We had no trouble finding the cabin and it was close to everything but away enough to not have to deal with all of the traffice.

Owner Response

Thanks for your kind words. We strive to make our cabin the best in the area. Summer is real nice in the Smokeys. Let us know your dates and we will be sure to do what we can to make youe vacation as enjoyable as posible.Ray and Marissa Walls

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at A Walk in the Clouds! The cabin was very clean and welcoming and we loved that there was so much there for us to do. It was very relaxing to sit out in the hot tub and listen to music (we really liked that we could hook up our iPhones for this) and we got tons of use out of the pool table. Our favorite part was the amazing view from upstairs... we loved waking up and being able to look directly out to the mountains. Stunning! We were only there two nights and wish we could have stayed longer. We are definitely looking forward to being able to go back in the future :)

Owner Response

Glad you had a good weekend at A Walk In The Clouds. I agree, waking up to the wall of windows looking into the Smokeys is pretty awsome. You are correct two days is not enough time to spend in the smokeys. Hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls

We had a wonderful stay at "A Walk in the Clouds"! The view was spectacular, with snow on the mountain top. The cabin is beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and welcoming!! We liked that it is close enough so we didn't have to drive miles for dinner. A truly great experience! Thanks to this owner for going out of the way to make sure we enjoyed our visit.

Owner Response

Sounds like you guys were lucky enough to see the spectacular view af Mount Lacount snow covered. The Smokeys has a hole different look in the winter and the season seems to be so small that its nice to be able to enjoy it. Thanks for your complements. Ray and Marissa Walls

We booked this cabin bc of the photos. When we got there we realized it was better than we could ever imagine! We stayed a week in TN but found ourselves staying 2-3 days in the cabin and enjoying the relaxing environment and gorgeous view from the hot tub! We were able to enjoy each others company and enjoy our honeymoon peacefully. We WILL be back. Its everything we wanted. Great location, great view, cozy and relaxing, and romantic.

Owner Response

I think our photographer is the best in the business. She does't take pictures of thing that are not there but she does a real good job of capturing what is there. We are happy to hear you guys felt it was better than you imagined. This what we try to create and it make us feel good when guest not only acknowledge our effort, but takes the time to write a review. When you decide to come back let us know and we will do what we can to make for another enjoyable vacation. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

This property was very conveniently located less than a 5 minute drive to Pigeon Forge and less than a 10 minute drive to Gatlinburg. We were very happy to find the spacious accommodations including a full kitchen, full living room with a very large screen TV, comfortable furniture, amazing view of the Smoky Mountains. And that was just the first floor! The second floor balcony displayed one of the most amazing views we experienced our entire stay. The pictures really do not do it justice. Along with the hot tub, pool table, foosball table, air hockey table, and surround sound throughout the cabin, we could not have asked for a better get away. We would highly recommend this property for families, newlyweds, or anyone wanting a relaxing vacation with an amazing view. We plan on making A Walk In The Clouds a family tradition in the future.

Owner Response

We agree!! The view from the decks are some of the best views in the area. It makes it hard to leave the cabin. Thanks for taking the time to write this review. Hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls

This was our first stay in the Smokies for many, many years. We couldn't have selected a better place to reacquaint ourselves with the area. We loved the cabin and everything that came with it: the porch swing, the games, the comfort, but especially the view. The ONLY negative thing I can find to comment about is the traffic when trying to go from Pigeon Forge to Gatlinburg, but such a minor inconvenience . . .after all we had a fully stocked kitchen; we could have cooked and avoided the traffic completely. Such a great vacation spot. Anita and Al Woodbury, MN

Owner Response

Glad to hear your trip back to the Smoky's was a pleasant one. There is a back way to Gatlinburg through the arts and craft area. This is a nice drive through the country. I think I will put that information in the cabin for all guest to see. Thanks for brining that to my attention. Ray and Marissa Walls

This is such a warm, cozy and comfortable cabin. We had a wonderful week in the mountains! After driving 10 hours, we decided to spend our first full day just relaxing and enjoying the cabin. Our children (7, 5 & 2), especially enjoyed the loft with the pool table, air hockey and foosball. There are plenty of things to do in the area. We went to Wonderworks, Terry Evanswood magic show, Cades Cove, Ripley's aquarium, The Tomb (kids loved this), The big wheel, go karts and hiking to Laurell Falls. It was great to come back to the cabin after a long day out and soak in the relaxing hot tub while taking in the breathtaking mountain views! We highly recommend The Old Mill for dinner as well as The Apple Barn...delicious!! We made wonderful memories that will last a life time! Mr. Walls was an absolute pleasure to deal with : ) Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!!

Owner Response

We are glad you and your family enjoyed your vacation. Vacation with your family is all about making memories that last forever and it looks like that is what you did. This is why we do what we do. Thanks for sharing. Ray and Marissa Walls

We felt the owners were super accommodating and the property was kept very nicely. Our children enjoyed all the amenities, especially the hot tub. The views were wonderful and waking up to the mountains was a treat!

Owner Response

I agree waking up in the mountains is the best part of the day. Hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls

We loved A Walk in the Clouds. The cabin is beautiful with a spectacular view. So very comfortable with every amenity. We especially loved Gatlinburg and hiking in the Smoky Mountains. A Walk in the Clouds was situated perfectly for our outing (on the edge of Pigeon Forge) and we found the cabin a welcome sight after a long day's hike. The hot tub was very welcoming! Thank you so much for being wonderful hosts for our trip to the Smoky Mountains. I wish I could move your cabin to other mountain locations that we wish to hike in the future!!

Owner Response

Hiking and Gatlinburg, a nice blend of activities. On our next vacation down there we planning on hiking Mt leConte. We are glad you enjoyed your vacation and we were happy to host. Ray and Marissa Walls

This was our first big family vacation and it couldn't have been more perfect. This cabin has everything we could've dreamed of. The views took our breathe away! From the moment we entered we were in heaven- it was clean, comfortable, well decorated, has a great lay-out, and tons of things to do right there. My little ones enjoyed the Wii and the jacuzzi on the deck and the giant jacuzzi tub upstairs ( my favorite too). We ate on either deck every day just to soak up the views. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a big meal as well. The tip book with all the local info and activity suggestions was very thoughtful and helpful too! The cabin location is perfect, we felt like we were away from the busy town but it only took 5 minutes to get to the main roads and 10 minutes to Gatlinburg and great hiking in the Smokies. We can't wait to get back. We went to Dollywood, went zip-lining, forbidden caverns, go-carts, shopping, hiking, and more and there's tons more to try!! Thanks Ray & Marissa for a great experience!!

Owner Response

Adrienne Thanks for your kind words. We put a lot effort in the details of our cabin and it make us feel good when we see familys like yours enjoy it. Sounds like you were active and relaxed on the deck during your vacation. Glad you had a good time and hope to hear from you soon. Ray and Marissa Walls

A Walk in the Clouds cabin was recommended to me by my brother. It was everything he said and more. The cabin was immaculate. We were very comfortable and felt very much at home. The views were so spectacular we didn't want to leave. After a nice rain we saw a beautiful rainbow. What a picture!!!

Owner Response

It is nice to have guest that are recommended to our cabin enjoy there stay. You said it right, the view is not just nice when the weather is good, but it is also nice just after the rain. Always cool to see a rainbow. Thanks for the review! Ray and Marissa Walls

We had a great time in the smokey mountains. The walk in the clouds cabin was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. We hope to visit again in the near future. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us. Jason from Texas.

Owner Response

Glad to hear you and your family enjoyed our cabin. Exceeding our guest expectations is our goal. Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Hope to hear from you again

This was our first visit to the Smoky Mountains and we already want to go back. The house was very nice and had all the amenities. My kids enjoyed the game room, Wii Gamses and we had coffee every morning overlooking the beautiful mountains. The community pool was very nice as well. The owners was great to deal with and when we had questions all were answered. The added bonus to my husband who is self-employed was the access to a computer in the home. We will definitely go back.

Owner Response

Happy to hear your vacation was good. We were glad to answer all of your questions and appreciate your comments. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

A very restful stay in the mountains was experienced by my wife and me. We were high above the city yet close enough when an activity would come our way.

Owner Response

Rest and relaxation is what the mountains are all about. Good to hear you enjoyed yourselves. Ray and Marissa Walls

The property was clean and inviting, we were amazed at the views from every room! It was cozy and very comfortable and well maintianed. The kitchen was well stocked for all your needs. We look forward to visiting again. We also enjoyed a good walk each day up and down the mountian side neighborhood.

Owner Response

A View from each room was a big deciding factor for us when we chose our cabin. Walking up and down those hills is good exercise with real nice views. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

This is the first time I have ever written a review, but want everyone to know how perfect this cabin truly is. I had many conversations with Ray prior to finally booking this cabin. He was extremely friendly and gave me helpful tips about the area even before I booked. Coming from the Philadelphia area, over nine hours away, I had alot of anxiety about renting the perfect cabin. The last thing I wanted for me or my family to experience was a cabin being not as described. I want everyone to know this cabin is perfect so do not worry and do not hesitate to book this cabin. It is even better than the pictures, and it even exceeded our expectations. It is immaculate and has everything you may need like extra pillow and blankets, adequate pots and pans, all of our needs/ wants were again met and exceeded. The location can't be beat. It is just minutes away from everything, Dollywood, The National Park, Food City, entertainment, shops and restaurants. Yet the cabin is away from everything and so peaceful. Best of all, the views are the most spectacular you will ever find when renting a cabin! The whole family enjoyed playing air hockey, pool and foosball. My boys are twins age 16 and a 14 year old. We loved the relaxing outdoor hot tub and on the two beautiful decks. Ray told us he is always available if you have any questions regarding the area which was a huge plus. He recommended so awesome restauratnts and the Dixie Stampede which my entire family enjoyed! We wanted to stay two extra days but A Walk in The Clouds was already booked. We booked a different cabin a couple of streets away, and although nice, it did not come close to this cabin. The views were just ok and it lacked the special touches Ray and his wife provides. It was an incredible trip, thank you so much!

Owner Response

WOW!! "Exceeded our expectations" "all of our needs/wants were again met and exceeded" These two comments alone makes us feel real good. managing a cabin is allot of work. These comments and families like yours is the reason we do what we do. Thank You for comments and hope to see you back again. Thanks Again Ray and Marissa walls

My husband and I are newly empty nesters and this was our first "real" vacation that wasn't "work related" or "with kids" in 26 years! We couldn't have asked for a better cabin in the Smokies! It was extremely clean, so well decorated and homey!! The location was great for us because it is away from all the busyness of town but close enough to run in for ice cream in the evening! And as all the other reviews state...the views are spectacular! We also were pleasantly surprised with how quiet the area was, day and night!! Perfect place for relaxing on the porch swing (which I did a lot!), playing a game of pool or hanging out in the hot tub!! We spent most of our time in the cabin or at the park taking in the breathtaking scenery. Communication with the owners was easy and prompt and absolutely no difficulties occurred with the whole process. It was very simple! I would rent "A Walk In the Clouds" again...it is a "memory making" place! Thank you Ray and Marissa!

Owner Response

Relaxing and making memories. Enough said. Thanks Ray and Marissa walls

We were only there for 4 days but wish we could have stayed longer. Its hard to believe you are so close to the attractions in Pigeon Forge as it so peaceful and quiet and the view had to be seen to be believed. The cabin itself is beautiful and spacious and perfect for two couples like ourselves. Gatlinburg is only 20 minutes away,we went quad biking, Cades Cove, to a show and a day in Gatlinberg.There is so much to do we are planning to spend much longer in the area which is a bit of a best kept secret in England as most Brits head to Florida but this made a lovely change. The only disappointment was the pool being closed as it was in the mid 80s when we were there but we found the pool closes at the beginning of Sept. We would certainly recommend this cabin you won't be disappointed

Owner Response

Welcome! It is always nice to have guest from England. Yes the pool does close after labor day. We are trying to open it up one month earlier and close it one month later. Spread the word in England about the Smokies and get rid of the best kept secret. Thank You for choosing A Walk In The Clouds for your vacation. Ray and Marissa Walls

My husband and I stayed at this cabin on our honeymoon and we had an amazing time there! The cabin was extremely clean and had everything that we could need or want during our stay. We particularly enjoyed playing guitar hero on the Wii and the hot tub on the second floor deck. The view from that deck is amazing! We did some mini golfing, ate at a few restaurants (Blue Moose Burgers and Wings was our favorite), hiked to a waterfall and received massages at a nearby spa. It was the perfect getaway and we could not have asked for a better week! Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with us and we will be sure to stay here again if we ever make it back to Pidgeon Forge! The town is close by, 5 minutes or so, but when you are up there on the deck, it feels miles away. High recommend!

Owner Response

Glad you enjoyed your honeymoon and hope to hear from you on your anniversary. Thanks Ray and Marissa Walls

The view was incredible the amenities were awesome the cabin was very clean and taken care of. It was nice and secluded but not a far drive from town. The owners were very helpful and friendly and the cost was reasonable. I have nothing bad to say and would recommend this cabin to anyone!

Owner Response

Thanks for your comments Ray

The cabin was well taken care of, beautifully decorated yet homey, breathtaking views from the balconies, and a convenient location at the edge of Pigeon Forge close to Gatlinburg. Our family had a great time and would certainly return.

Owner Response

Thanks for your complements on the care and homeyness of our cabin we work hard to make it that way and appropriate it when guest notice. Thanks Ray

This cabin is definitely beautiful and the view is amazing. Unfortunately, it was rainy and foggy most of the time we were there, so we only got to enjoy the view the first day and the last couple of days we were there. We did enjoy the hot tub a couple of days when it was warm enough to not turn into an icicle when climbing out. We also had fun playing pool and air hockey. It is definitely loud in that room, though, when people are playing, since it is all wood and not carpeted. We enjoyed our stay overall, but I would make a few suggestions to improve future stays. The beds could really use an upgrade. They were all uncomfortable, and the downstairs bed is quite squeaky and you can feel the springs. The upstairs bed could definitely benefit from a memory foam topper if nothing else. The sofa sleeper is very uncomfortable and saggy. None of us slept very well due to the uncomfortable beds. Second, to accommodate 6 for sleeping, a table and chairs to also accommodate 6 would be helpful. We couldn't all sit together for any of our meals, which was a bit annoying. I would also recommend warning people ahead of time about the steep roads. We've been to that area many times, and have had some harrowing experiences getting to cabins in the past, so we know to ask about the roads to get to the cabins now, but for someone that hasn't been there before, they should be aware that the roads are steep and there are some switchback roads to get there. We were fine in my husband's large SUV, but we watched several people throughout the week struggle to get up and down the mountain. A Walk In The Clouds is truly a beautiful cabin, beautifully decorated, with an amazing view. We would likely stay again and recommend it to friends and family, especially if the beds are updated!

Owner Response

Thanks for the complements on the cabin and the view. You are right the hot tub is nice in the winter but in can be a little cold getting out. We did recently replace both king beds and plan on addressing the pull out couch on our next trip down there. We had just bought a new dining room table and chairs a few months back. We bought a nice high top table that seats four and a smaller table for two. This was a tough decision but we went this way to open up the living room a little. Although the cabin does sit on the top of a mountain, and some parts are a little steep, the roads are paved, wide, curbed, and have guard rails where needed. The developer did do a nice job laying out the roads with a limited amount of switch backs. It is my opinion that these roads are, along with the views, some of the best in the area. Thanks for the information and hope to hear from you again. Ray Walls Owner

We had such a wonderful time in our stay at A Walk in the Clouds. Thank you SO much for sharing your lovely cabin with us. The view was simply amazing!

Owner Response

Sounds like a good time was had by all. Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself. Hope to hear from you again.

We met our friends for a quick weekend getaway in Pigeon Forge to escape the stress of work. Communication with Mr. Walls was excellent. He even provided a nice list of trails and local attractions for us to visit while in Pigeon Forge prior to our arrival. The cabin was beautiful and the scenery was amazing. There was a slight hiccup at first arrival. It appeared that the cleaning company hadn't cleaned the cabin prior to our arrival. A quick phone call to Mr. Walls (which he answered immediately) and he was on top of the issue. There had been a miscommunication with the cleaning company about our arrival date. Within a matter of minutes, Mr. Walls called us back to let us know the cleaning ladies would be there very shortly. He then offered to treat our entire group (4 of us) to dinner for the inconvenience and to allow the cleaners to do their job uninterrupted while we were gone. We didn't take him up on the offer due to prior dinner arrangements... which he then offered for us to stay an extra day/night free of charge. Again, we couldn't take him up on the offer due to work engagements, but it made it very clear he cared about our stay and making sure we were well taken care of. The cabin itself was great. The view was amazing... like straight out of a magazine or post-card. The cabin had everything we could possibly want (plates, cups, coffee makers, microwave, dishwasher). The game room was a great addition and was used during the evenings. The hot-tub was great too! Couldn't ask for a better way to call it a day than enjoying a good soak in the hot-tub with a couple drinks and some music over the the outdoor speakers. I can't say enough about Mr. Walls and his associates. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cabin or any of his other properties for that matter. It truly was a wonderful cabin and Mr. Walls made sure we had an extremely enjoyable visit. I'm sure this will be the first of many visits to this wonderful cabin.

Thanks for the review. When things happen we pride ourselves on responding quickly. Thnaks for commenting. Ray

We loved every minute of our stay. Owner was very helpful with everything we needed. The cabin was everything the site said it would be. The WII didnt play any of the games but was not a problem due to the fact that there was more then that to do in the cabin. We will be coming back for sure. This is the best place we have been in a long time.

Owner Response

Hello Thanks for your kind words. We try to do everything we can to make our guests stay as enjoyable as possible and appreciate you noticing, and commenting. This is the first I heard about the Wii games not working. We had since got all of the games working and made sure we have plenty of extra batteries. Thanks Again Ray Walls

I had a wonderful time. A Walk In The Clouds was beautiful and the scenery is fantastic. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. I sat every morning on the deck and drank my coffee just for the view. There is so much to do in the area. I loved the Island and the ice cream by the Old Mill was great. We visited the distilleries and had a great time sampling the moonshine.

Owner Response

Hello Lynn Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Sitting on the deck in the early am sipping coffee in one of my favorite things to do. Glad you enjoyed our cabin and hope to hear from you again. Ray Walls

We had such a great time in the cabin, the view was breath taking!!! We visited Cades Cove and viewed a mama bear and cub. At the creek we saw many butterflies of all types and color. On our way to the cabin we saw a wild turkey and other local animals. We visited the Old Mill and enjoyed everything in the area. The Island was great and we had lots of fun. Gatlinburg was such a great time too. Our stay could not have been more perfect from the weather, to the sites and the cabin!!!! Overall we had a GREAT time! Thank you very much for sharing your lovely cabin with us!

Owner Response

Cades Cove has so many things to see. although the wild life and old historic home sites are way cool it also has many different kinds of plant life and all kinds of butter flies. It is always nice when the weather is nice to enjoy all of these things. Thanks for sharing your vacation with us. Ray Walls

Very amazing week stay at this well built cabin with an amazing view. My wife and I did not want to leave. There was nothing bad about our visit in Me.Walls cabin thanks again for sharing your little piece of heaven.

Owner Response

Not wanting to leave when your vacation is over is not the best part of a vacation but it tells me you enjoyed your stay and I am doing something right. Glad you enjoyed your vacation and hope to here from you again. Ray Walls

My husband and I brought our 2 young children with us for a week at A Walk in the Clouds and we were very impressed. The booking process with Mr. Walls went smoothly, and he responded to our questions promptly. The cabin was clean and well-appointed, and waking up each morning to the amazing 270 degree view of the mountains from the upstairs bedroom was something we'll never forget. Our kids loved the air hockey and fuseball tables, and we enjoyed sitting on the deck with our coffee in the morning and our wine at night.

Owner Response

Jaime Thanks for you kind words. We do what we can to make the booking process as smooth as possible and thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed the cabin and its view. Hope to hear from you again. Ray Walls

Absolutely lovely, panoramic view of the mountains. Both decks were comfortable for sitting and looking out at the scene. Inside, the cabin is beautifully appointed. The decor, while rustic, wasn't the usual over-the-top mountains theme. Very beautiful furniture, decor, etc. The only thing that was disappointing was that there is another cabin right next to ours. That wasn't clear to me in the pictures, so I was surprised that it was there. No one had rented the next door cabin for our first night, so it was peaceful. But, there was a loud family there on our second night. There is a good solid privacy 'fence' on the second deck with the hot tub, so there was some level of privacy. Just want it to be clear to other renters that this cabin is not secluded.. Overall, this is the best cabin we have ever stayed in East Tennessee and would definitely come back!

Owner Response

Stephanie Glad you enjoyed your vacation. You are right there is another cabin next to my cabin as I described in out description. The problem withe having spectacular views is that area tend to be more populated. Our cabin sits on the shoulder with only one other cabin. I would call our cabin more private than secluded. Thanks for your comments. Ray Walls

This was a spur of the moment getaway! Ray was extremely helpful in assisting with the reservation. Cabin is as listed, awesome view, immaculately clean, quiet. Although the drive up the mountain is steep, we had no problem accessing. The road is well paved, wide and curbed. Thank you for sharing your cabin! We hope to stay here again in the future; hopefully for a longer stay! Janet

Owner Response

Hello Janet last minuet vacations are the best. Glad we could accommodate you and thanks for taking the time to write a review. Ray Walls

The pictures did no justice for how beautiful this cabin truly is. I chose to spend my birthday weekend here with my boyfriend (23), niece(10), and a friend(23.) The four of us all enjoyed the stay at A Walk in the Clouds. The view from the upstairs bedroom/loft area was especially breathtaking- but all of the views from the cabin were. The road to get up the mountain to the cabin itself was steep and winding but tolerable. The cabin was clean and fully furnished. We took advantage of the amenities such as air hockey and hot tub and had no complaints other than how stiff the downstairs bedroom bed was. The cabin is within close proximity to all that Pigeon Forge has to offer. Just a suggestion- Sawyers Farmhouse Breakfast had the best breakfast we've ever had there! We fell in love with the cabin and can't wait to come back again in the future. Book this cabin- I can't imagine anyone disliking it.

Owner Response

Hello Sara Thanks for your kind words. We are glad you enjoyed your vacation and thanks for writing a review. We did just have the bedding installed new.We had a few other comments on how stiff the main level bed is so we installed a mattress pad and it made a big difference. Hope to hear from you again. Ray Walls

We absolutely loved our stay at our Cabin in the Cloud. Just a few comments. First, when they say the cabin is not stocked with any food, that's precisely what they mean. This is my 4th VRBO home to stay in, however, the first where the non perishable items were also stripped away. Plan on bringing everything you would use down to the salt and pepper. Not sure why at least these type of things cannot be left for the next guest. Also plan on providing your toilet paper, paper towels, coffee filters, soap, etc as this is very minimal. Apparently, housekeeping is removing anything that is leftover, so don't think you're leaving it for the next guest. These comments are all meant to just be a heads up for future guests and not meant to demean the property in any way. It is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth staying there. The owner is very pleasant to work with. Very convenient location.

Owner Response

Janiece Thanks for your comments. We decide not to cludder the kitchen. We have had comments in the past that guest that do not like other guest condements left behind. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Ray

The cabin was very easy to access and oh, what a beautiful view!! Very well put together, clean, peaceful....everything we needed for a relaxing visit. Although we never directly talked (I'm not much of a phone person), Ray was extremely polite and very easy to communicate with. I have no hesitation in recommending A Walk in the Clouds to anyone. Top notch!!!

Owner Response

Thanks John for your nice review. I like what I do and glad you noticed. Ray Walls

We loved this cabin. Clean..inviting...and the veiw was amazing. We will definitely be back.

Owner Response

I will let housekeeping know you commented on how clean the cabin was. She works hard and I know she will appreciate it. Thanks Ray Walls

This is the first time we have ever stayed at a cabin on vacation and it was everything and more then we hoped for. From the beginning with the booking - to the end, it was a completely smooth transaction. The cabin was spotless and had everything to offer. The scenery was ever changing and was always an amazing site. Even when you woke up some mornings and were literally "in the clouds", it was just amazing. We enjoyed exploring the area including Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, but were just as happy enjoying the peacefulness and serenity of the cabin. We would recommend this cabin to anyone and look forward to a return visit.

Owner Response

Thanks for your review. We do pay a lot attention on our booking process and appreciate you noticing. Thanks Ray Walls

Beautiful home with exquisite views of the mountains. We had a wonderful time visiting the surrounding sites. . The house was in perfect order. Very clean and comfy. The tiniest of problems was the kitchen needed more dish towels and cloths to be utilized for cooking task.

Owner Response

Shelly Glad you enjoyed our cabin and found it to be clean and comfy. I will let housekeeping know how clean the cabin was for you and I will also ask her to put a few more dish towels out. Thanks Ray Walls

Beautiful views and very comfortable cabin.Good for family to stay.

Owner Response

Yafei Thanks for your review and we are glad you liked the views and found cabin to be Comfortable. Ray Walls

We could not have asked for a better vacation!!! The cabin is immaculate and beautiful!!! The pictures do it no justice. The location is perfect, minutes away from all sorts of fun activities and places. Ray is great and prompt at problem solving any issues. When we arrived the WII was not working and he offered to refund us for any games we would buy for the kids to play. In the end it actually worked out better because it was more time for us to spend together than on electronics! The only negative for me personally was no curtains on some of the windows, but if you don't mind it then definitely rent this cabin!! We are looking forward to our next stay at "a cabin in the clouds" .Would recommend this piece of heaven to everyone!!! Thank you!!

Owner Response

Jenio Thanks for your kind words. Sounds like you had a nice vacation. We did get a new Wii console, sorry it did not work for you. We try to decorate the windows without compromising the view but hope you weren't uncomfortable. Thanks Ray Walls

We loved "A Walk in the Clouds"!!! Celebrated my husband's 60th birthday there. The home is beautiful and there is nothing lacking!! A return visit is in the future for us!

Owner Response

Hello Debbie Congratulations on your 50th anniversary. We are glad we could offer our cabin to you so you can enjoy it on such a memorable occasion. Hope to here from you again. Ray Walls

The view from the cabin was amazing. Loved relaxing in the hottub after a day of exploring Pegion Forge and Gatlinburg.

Owner Response

Brittany We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to hear from you again Ray

Just as described. We were extremely pleased Clean, and very functional. The pool table, Foosball and air hockey were a hit with kids One thing to be aware of, the bedroom upstairs is the entire second floor. It is very big but the pool table, air hockey and Foosball table are in the same room It was fine for us, we let the kids stay up there If you were going with two couples and planning on the kids sleeping on sofa pullout, then it could be an issue That being said, I highly recommend this cabin

Owner Response

Donna We are glad you found our cabin to be clean and functional. We pride ourselves on making sure the cabin is clean and every amenity is working. Yes the bedroom upstairs does second as the game room. This is a little different but with the entire wall of windows facing the view of the Smokies ,makes for a nice view as you are waking up in the morning. Thanks for choosing A Walk In The Clouds Cabin for your vacation. Ray and Marissa Walls Ray and Marissa Walls

My husband and I enjoyed staying at this cabin view amazing everything u could need provided was ease in booking we will definitely be staying again . You would not be disappointed beds comfortable only suggestion would be to get new living room furniture

Owner Response

Sherry Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We had just recently replaced the beds and appreciate you noticing how comfortable they are. The couches are next. Housekeeping notified us that the couch and love seat were getting warn so we ordered a new ones. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. Hope to hear from you again. Ray and Marissa Walls

The house was beautiful and very comfortable for my family. It was decorated nicely yet did not make me feel like I would break something. It was a family vacation including a toddler so this was a definite plus. We also enjoyed the pool table and hot tub daily. The kitchen had enough utensils and cookware for use to make dinner there and save a trip into town and a few dollars. The location made it feel like it was in away from the hustle and bustle, but the town was just minutes away. The porch swing made the view even better. There literally is a panoramic view of the mountains from this house! The ONLY negative things were the couches and TV channels. The couches were a little too worn in and luckily we packed movies for the night time family "pre-bed" activities. Overall the house was great!

Owner Response

Jackie We are happy you found our cabin to be beautiful and comfortable, we feel the same way. We had spent allot of time decorating and our goal was for our cabin to be decorated nicely but still give you the homey feel. Thanks for noticing. We replaced the bedding, dining room table, and flooring in 2015 and the couches are next on our list. We ordered a new set and will be replacing soon. We like hearing from our guest to assure we are making the right decision in keeping our cabin the best it can be. Thanks for your review. Ray and Marissa Walls

This cabin is located in the PERFECT location!!! We were pleasantly surprised with the beautiful mountain view as well. Just high enough on the mountain to enjoy the view and make the drive to & from town easy. Plus is it located near back-roads (Veterans and Teaster) so that you can navigate throughout Pigeon Forge and not get stuck in the busy traffic on the strip. Only a few miles from Dollywood, too. Cabin was very clean and comfortable. Kids loved the game room and hot tub. We will return!

Owner Response

Renee Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and like the location of our cabin. You are right taking Veterans or Teaster during high traffic times will save you allot of time. Thanks Ray Walls

You will not be disappointed with this cabin. It was immaculate and very comfortable. Cannot beat the location either. Ray was very easy to work with and very prompt when responding to inquiries. We wouldn't hesitate to book with him again.

Owner Response

Jene Thanks for your kind words. I take great pride in responding to all communication from our guest and appreciate you commenting on that. Thanks Again Ray Walls

The cabin is beautiful and the view is breathtaking. My family’s first reaction as we walked into the cabin was OMG!!! We were above the clouds nearly every day, and the snowcapped mountains were awe-inspiring. We were also blessed with the opportunity to see a double rainbow. The cabin was very clean and inviting. We were so comfortable staying here, it felt as though we were in our own home. And even though there are many things to do in the area, a few times we chose to stay at the cabin to relax and enjoy the view. One mistake I made was, I didn’t following the directions to the cabin that Ray had sent me. I followed my GPS instead. Big mistake!! It brought me up another road that was very NARROW and very steep. It also dead ended NEAR the cabin, not at the cabin. I’m so glad we arrived during the daylight hours because it would have been scary if it were dark and on the wrong road. There is only one other cabin on this street so there is virtually no traffic. Really my only complaint is I wish the hot tub would have been elevated just a little higher. The banister railing on the deck hindered our full view of the mountains while sitting in the tub. But I suspect that building codes may not allow it to be elevated higher for safety reasons. The jets seemed a little weak but the hot water felt awesome! The cabin was supplied with a starter of most essentials needed for our arrival. Even though this cabin allows pets, it doesn't have any pet odors or hair everywhere. Upstairs we saw a few scratches on the floor and wall, but that was the only indication we saw of any pets having been in the cabin. The kitchen is stocked with most items needed for cooking if you choose to dine in. There are a few things that could be updated, but it's so minor. The pool table could use new cloth but it still plays good. The décor is very nice and I won’t comment any farther on it because everyone has different opinions. The beds were very comfortable. However, there is only one closet to hang clothes, and it’s in the downstairs bedroom. The upstairs bedroom only has a dresser and chest. The washer and dryer can hold a large load of clothes. We found the living room furniture to be comfortable. This was our first time to rent a cabin and we were amazed at how easy and smooth the entire transaction went. This is an awesome cabin and I would not hesitate to stay here again. We enjoyed our stay so much we didn't won't to leave. Thanks Ray!

Owner Response

Larry We really appreciate this review. We take a lot of time making sure little and big things are right and you touched on allot of them. Thanks for choosing A Walk In The Clouds Cabin and we hope to hear from you again. Thanks Ray Walls

Cabin and view is spectacular. That said, the only thing that could have been better the bath towels were like sand paper and about 50% of light bulbs was missing or burned out. We had a great stay and would consider doing it again

Owner Response

Hello Keith Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Glad to hear you had a spectacular stay at our cabin. I appreciate you letting me know about the towels and light bulbs. I let maintenance know about the bulbs and I contacted housekeeping about the towels. We hope to hear from you again. Thanks Ray Walls

This cabin has a great view. It has all the amenities and is close to everything. Highly recommended.

Owner Response

Steve Thanks for the review. We hope to hear from you again. Ray Walls

Our family recently stayed at this cabin. We had a very nice experience. You won't be disappointed. The view is fantastic and the location is very near restaurants and entertainment.

Owner Response

James thanks for your review. Glad you enjoyed our cabin. Hope to hear from you again. Ray Walls

A Walk in the Clouds Cabin is an awesome place. It is secluded from all the hustle and bustle of being in Pigeon Forge, but only about 3 miles out of town. The views are absolutely amazing! Everything with the cabin was perfect. Very clean and tidy. My kids (7, 4, and 1) loved the games upstairs. The hot tub on the balcony provided a wonderful time of relaxation after a long day of hiking in the National Forest. There is a community pool available for swimming and my kids definitely enjoyed that a couple of times. It is very peaceful and quiet. The owners were great to work with and always responded in a timely manner. Awesome vacation and time away.

Owner Response

Derick Sounds like you and your family took advantage of all the amenities. Good to hear you had a good time. Ray Walls

We enjoyed our stay at A Walk In The Clouds, it is a beautiful cabin! The hot tub was not working properly when we arrived, but was repaired the next day! Really loved it!

Owner Response

Helene Glad you had a good time. Sorry to hear the hot tub had problems but glad we were able to take care of it for you. Ray Walls

We enjoyed staying at A Walk in the Clouds. The cabin was very clean and offered some of the best views we've seen in the Smoky Mountains. We would definitely come here again. Wonderful spot.

Owner Response

Good to hear you enjoyed the cabin and its views. Thanks for mentioning the cleanliness of the cabin. Housekeeping works hard and appreciates you noticing. I will send this review to them. Ray Walls

Amazing Views out of this property. Perfect to see the seasons change in the fall. Very Clean and great decor taste. All the comforts of home are available in this property. I would highly recommend and will return again. Thanks Ray!

Owner Response

Daniel Fall is the perfect time to visit the Smokies. Appreciate you mentioning the decor and cleanliness of the cabin. Housekeeping works hard to make it that way. I will send this review to them. Ray Walls

We visited this cabin the end of Nov/beginning of Dec for my husband's birthday. We were a bit nervous since the big fire in Gatlinburg happened a few days prior, but the owner called us and assured us it was safe to come. A few properties in the area did have some minor damage, but this one seemed untouched. GPS got us to the approximate location, so it was good the owner sent us some extra directions. Overall we had a great time. The property was well maintained and clean. There were a few small issues that didn't affect our stay: the downstairs toilet seemed to run excessively and the tub didn't have a plug so you could take a bath. I also would have loved to have a cutting board in the kitchen, but it was otherwise well stocked, and we made good use of the dishware provided. Overall the scenery was gorgeous, our first full day there we had a warm, sunny day that felt a lot like September. You could still see a lot of the color on the trees and the sun started to set around 5:30. We did venture out to the Island, but didn't do a ton of walking around. I honestly think just staying at the cabin, playing board games, pool, and sitting in the hot tub was the perfect relaxing vacation we needed. I definitely would recommend, but perhaps earlier into the season so the days feel longer.

Owner Response

Alaina We were lucky that our cabin was untouched by the fire. Glad you had good weather for your vacation. Thanks for bringing the issues with the tub and toilet. I called maintenance and he took care of them. I also stocked the kitchen with a cutting board. Hope to hear from you again. Thanks Ray Walls

Amazing view and well kept cabin!

Owner Response

Steve Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Hope to see you again soon. Thanks Ray Walls

It was a little confusing to find since we got there in the dark. We found the cabin beautiful, well-equipped with necessities as well as indulgences (hot tub, pool table), and comfortable. My only suggestions are curtains in the living room and upstairs due to the other nearby cabins/night-time visibility and an option for recycling (we put recycling in one garbage can and trash in the other). Lastly, our last day was void of most channels; it appeared that the month subscription ran out or something as we were able to watch many channels up until Friday of our stay. Thank you for offering your cabin as accommodations for Smoky Mountains vacations!

Owner Response

Jeanne Glad you enjoyed all the our cabin has to offer. Sorry about the glitch in the cable. I called the cable company and it was taken care of. Thanks for leaving a review. Thanks Ray Walls

Very clean and inviting. Owner was a pleasure to work with. Both decks offer a great mountain view. A short drive to Pigeon Forge. We would stay here again.

Owner Response

John Thanks for writing a review. I will let housekeeping know that you mentioned haw clean the cabin was. They work hard and appreciate it when it gets noticed. Thanks Ray Walls

Our stay in the cabin was the perfect, relaxing vacation! The views from both the upper and lower deck were so beautiful we spent almost every second of being in the cabin outside on the deck. The deck could use a nice sanding/refinishing soon but that is purely cosmetic. The outdoor furniture was very comfortable. Most importantly, the cabin was immaculately clean. You wouldn't know it was a pet-friendly cabin. We appreciated that we could bring our dog with us. We cooked dinner every night that week and were happy that the kitchen was fully stocked with all of the cooking utensils, pots, pans, etc that we needed. The cabin was in a great location. It was close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg but quiet and felt away from it all. Since we don't drive a truck or SUV, we appreciated that the cabin was on a paved driveway that was steep but very manageable. I would imagine it would get tough in ice though. Just a tip- the second bed is upstairs in the game room. The room doesn't have a door so be aware for noise/privacy reasons. The shower up there was also a small stall shower. Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely consider returning. We are very happy we chose to stay in this cabin!

Owner Response

Jeanna Thanks for writing a review. We just replaced the outdoor furniture and appreciate you noticing. The decks are our next job. I will let housekeeping know that you mentioned that you fount the cabin to be immaculately clean. The loft bed is not enclosed but there is nothing like waking up to a wall of windows with nothing but the view of the Smokies. Thanks Ray Walls

We thought this house was perfect! The views from both levels were stunning and the decks were great for sitting outside to eat dinner, enjoy a glass of wine, etc. And, the pool, air hockey and foosball made for some super fun nights of fierce family competition.

Owner Response

Sounds like you took advantage of all the cabin has to offer. There is nothing like a glass of wine on the deck with a view into the Smokies. Thanks Ray Walls

Breath-taking views! Comfortable And clean. Take your own coffee/tea/spices/detergent - only dishes and cooking utensils provided

Owner Response

Sammie Thanks for your review. Ray

It was OK. Little dated and the furniture smelled musty or pet odor.

Owner Response

Mario Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I contacted housekeeping and they are going to take care of it. This is the first I have heard of this problem. I have been getting good reviews about the cleanliness of the cabin. You can be sure that this will be taking care of asap. Thanks Ray Walls

As soon as you walk in to the cabin you get the impression that this place is loved and cared for. We had a very memorable time and the only downside was we couldn't stay longer. Suggestion for the owners is that installing a Chromecast or similar device with a Netflix account may be even more of a selling point. Much appreciated. Jim and Carly

Owner Response

Hello Jim and Carly We are glad you enjoyed your stay and saw the eclipse from the deck. Sounds pretty amazing. I am always looking for ways for our guest to better enjoy their vacation. Thanks for the suggestion on installing a chromecast or Netflix. I will look into it. Ray Walls

We loved the cabin! The views were amazing and peaceful! The cabin was beautiful! If we travel to that area again we will definitely stay there again! Thank you for adding to our family memories!

Owner Response

Sara Family memories is what it is all about. Glad you had a good time and hope to see ya again. Ray Walls

Our family loved this place! Enjoyed breakfast in the deck in the mornings taking in a beautiful view of the Smoky Mountains.

Owner Response

Anne I agree. Breakfast on the deck with the awesome view, in the morning is one of my favorite time. See you next time. Ray Walls

We spent as much time at the house as sightseeing

Owner Response

Rick Nothing wrong with vacationing at the cabin and hardly ever leaving the cabin. My wife has done that on several occasions. Ray Walls

Great directions to cabin. Great view. Nice decor.

Owner Response

Warren Thanks for the comments. We work hard and glad it gets noticed. Ray Walls

We had a wonderful stay at, "A walk in the Clouds." The cabin was lovely and the furnishings were just beautiful, but words cannot begin to describe the breathtaking view from the cabin. We have stayed in numerous places with pretty views, but non have compared to the view you see from every deck and room in the cabin. Everything was spotless and fresh upon our arrival. It was unbelievable the many types of entertainment they have at the cabin for their guest. They had many thoughtful little things, such as the many brochures and coupons for their guest. That was a nice touch. We have been vacationing in the Gatlingburg - Pigeon Forge area for many years and our stay at, "A Walk in the Clouds" has been one of our best memories yet! The owners are also fantastic and helpful in every way! We hope to enjoy many more vacations at this cabin. David and Stormy Watson

Owner Response

David and Stormy Sounds like you had a nice time at our cabin. We work hard trying to do everything to make your vacation as good as it can be. From your comments we were successful. Thanks for the review and hope to see you again. Ray Walls

This cabin was wonderful - we didn't want to leave! It was clean, fully equipped with all and more than we needed, and the view was absolutely beautiful! I hope we can visit again soon!!

Owner Response

Charlotte Thanks for writing a review. We work hard at what we do and appreciate it when it gets noticed. Thanks Again Ray

We really enjoyed our stay. I loved looking out at the mountains each morning for the sunrise. Our three boys spent hours playing in the game room. The hot tub was perfect for us all. The layout was nice. The living room was comfortable. The fireplace didn’t work while we were there but the owner reimbursed us for that very quickly and was responsive when contacted about the issue. The maintenance guy who came to try to help us with the fireplace was very nice too. He came after 7pm on a Saturday night! The only drawback that we saw were the two king beds. They were a bit to stiff for my husband and I, but we are used to our Sleep Number bed! Overall great stay. Wish we could have stayed a bit longer.

Owner Response

Jill Thanks for your comments. We did fix the fire place. Glad you enjoyed your stay and the kids liked all of the games. Ray

We found this listing on VRBO and were not quite sure what we were getting into. We didn't realize how close we were to Pigeon Forge, or the tourist trap that is the surrounding area. We were very nervous about our decision until we drove up to the actual cabin. A Walk in the Clouds was everything we could ask for and more. It was clean, had amazing views, and you would never guess how close we were to civilization by the peacefulness of the surroundings. The amenities were plentiful, the living room cozy, the bed comfortable, and the view from every window was absolutely breathtaking. It was perfect for a romantic weekend away, and we even discussed bringing our kids next time to let them share in the fun. If I could rate it higher I would :) From town you would never guess that there was a secluded little slice of heaven right up the mountain. You should absolutely give this place a try!!

Owner Response

Cate Thank You so much for your kind words. Everything you mentioned is the reason we bought the cabin. We are happy to share it with the world and glad you could be one of the one to enjoy it. Ray

Best feature of the cabin is definitely the view to the mountains. We really enjoyed he warmth and home like feeling of the place as soon as we arrived. I will definitely come back to stay here in the future. Thank you so much

Owner Response

Jose Thanks I agree the view is pretty awesome. We do what we can to make the cabin the best it can be but the view always wins out. Ray

It was absolutely amazing!! The views, the cabin, the sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking, the peaceful atmosphere - just amazing! Our 3 kids (ages 5, 9 and 12) loved the games, the hot tub, the views, everything about it! On the way home, they are already begging to go back! We will return!! Thank you!!!

Owner Response

Jason We try to set up the cabin to accommodate all ages. Glad the kids enjoyed the games. I think they are right about coming back, I will be waiting for your call. Ray

We loved A Walk In The Clouds! It was exceptionally clean, in the perfect location (close to everything but nestled quietly in the mountains), and had great amenities. The panoramic view cannot be beat! We hope to be back very soon!!! You can't go wrong with this cabin!!!

Owner Response

Thanks for your comments. Hope to hear from you again. Ray

We had a great stay! The cabin was very clean ! We did not have any issues except for the first time trying to enter, the code was wrong. But within a short 5 minutes we received the right code to access the property! Would stay again!

Owner Response

Lauren Good to hear you enjoyed your vacation. Sorry about the mix up with the key code but glad we got you in quickly. Ray

Just got home from a stay at "A Walk In The Clouds" that was perfect except for it was too short. This cabin has an amazing view, easy access, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen and it was the cleanest cabin we have EVER stayed in during the 20 yrs we have been vacationing in the area.

Candy I will definitely let housekeeping about your comment on how clean the cabin is. They work hard and appreciate it when there hard work gets noticed. Ray

Spectacular place for a family vacation! Two balconies with scenic views and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the mountains make this cabin a first rate place to stay. The entire experience from entering to exiting was relaxing and comfortable. We are looking forward to returning.

Owner Response

Lisa WOW, thanks for the comments. Sounds like you enjoyed your stay. Hope to hear from you again. Ray

Property owners are very responsive. Everything worked as should and the cabin was spottless.

Owner Response

Scott Thanks. We are glad we cane accommodate. Thank You for staying at A Walk In The Clouds Cabin. Ray

Wonderful and clean. My bestie and i celebrated our 50th bday and had an awsome time. We will go back again next year.

Owner Response

Christopher Happy 50th. Perfect place to celebrate. See ya on your 51st. Ray

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was beautiful, the view of the mountains were spectacular. We loved it. We gave it a 4 only because the bed sheets on the upper level bed really needed to be thrown out and replaced. Other than that it was wonderful.

Owner Response

Axel Thanks for your comments . We contacted housekeeping and they are addressing the linens. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. Glad you had a good time. Thanks Ray

The cabin was great. Everything was clean and working. The view was amazing, it really is a walk in the clouds. The only negative I have of the cabin is that the channels on the TV. You really don't get any channels. So if you are looking to have a down day make sure you bring some movies to watch. Other than the TV everything was great.

Owner Response

Matt Good to hear your had a nice vacation. I will look into upgrading the cable package. It was good the view was amazing to watch. Thanks Ray

We had a fantastic stay and enjoyed beautiful hikes, horseback riding, and an unforgettable visit to Parrot Mountain. It was wonderful coming back to the cabin and getting in the hot tub. Our daughter especially enjoyed playing air hockey, foosball and pool. The views were amazing, literally breathtaking. The cabin was so clean, virtually spotless. The owners were gracious enough to leave numbers to contact them, maintenance or housekeeping if needed. There are only a few minor suggestions that would make this rental a five star. It is a pet friendly cabin so this is difficult to manage but the area rug in the living smelled of urine. We would definitely recommend a cleaning. It's probably time to replace the couches as we found them to be quite uncomfortable. The spare blanket that we used for the pull out couch definitely needs replacing as it looks like the corners have been chewed on and holes in the middle. May also be time for new bed pillows as well. We were afraid to use the ceiling fan in the downstairs bedroom because it wobbled so much when we turned it on. We would definitely recommend this cabin and would love to make a return trip if these few things were updated.

Owner Response

Shaylee Good to hear you enjoyed your vacation. Sorry to hear about the issues you had. I contacted housekeeping and will have her look into the throw rugs. She does a real good job cleaning and has received many complements. I am sure she will address the issues. Thanks for bring these to our attention. Ray

The views are incredible! We loved the location also. Close to everything! Would definitely stay here again.

Owner Response

Cindy Thanks for you complements. Hope to hear from you again. Ray

The property was very clean and well maintained. It exceeded our expectations and we will book again.

Owner Response

James Our goal is that very thing. To provide a clean cabin and exceed our guest expectations. Thanks for noticing. Ray

The cabin, the view, the amenities, the customer service....... exactly as all the rave reviews said it would be! The cabin was so well equipped with everything....from kitchenware, to entertainment, to sleep/lounge accommodations... that we ended up not leaving the mountain the entire long weekend! Thanks to the entire crew for making this place "picture perfect" for our stay....we'll be back for sure!!

Owner Response

Ester Thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed the cabin. My wife feels the same way. She often visits the cabin never leaves the mountain. Ray

Clean, comfortable, and close to everything. Thank you Rick for everything!!

Owner Response

John Thanks for the review. Hope to here from you again. Ray

Very nice cabin and peaceful location. Beautiful and one of the better views of the mountains. Minutes from both downtown Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Enjoyed our time and would definitely stay here again in future.

Owner Response

Ken The view is whats its all about. Glad you appreciated it. Ray

Beautiful cabin with magnificent views. Enjoyed barbecue in the evenings with the sun setting and breakfast on the terrace. Very relaxing and peaceful. Cabin is in excellent condition, very clean, and fully stocked with entertainment for the whole family. Highly recommend it. Hope to return in the future.

Owner Response

Mayra We work hard to make sure our cabin has everything and like it when guest notice. Ray

Stayed for a week for my son's baseball tourney at Cal Ripken Fields. All the amenities of home. The smell of dog was definitely there in cabin but that's to be expected with dogs allowed. Which I don't mind as much. The furniture is a little worn and some of the floors were a bit dirty for being 'cleaned' after each visitor. Otherwise a nice property.

Owner Response

Julie Thanks for the review. I wish you would have told me about your observations. We just put a new floor in not long ago. We take a lot of care in keeping our cabin fresh and clear. We would have sent the housekeeper out the take care of it. Ray

Stunning views as advertised. Home was equipped with all necessities, very clean, and inviting. We enjoyed hiking and sightseeing in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. The owner, Ray, was accommodating and professional in all interactions. Thank you for a relaxing and peaceful vacation!

Owner Response

Lori We do what we can to make sure your cabin is just what you have everything you need for a nice vacation and appreciate you commenting on it. Ray

Loved the cabin, will definately stay there again. Beautiful location near Dollywood and close to every thing but quiet and peaceful.

Owner Response

Thanks for your complement. Hope to hear from you again. Ray

House was well equipped. Thank you for being pet friendly!

Owner Response

Pets are always welcome. Ray

Very nice place, very clean & lovely cabin, highly recommended. Ray is great to deal with & very helpful. will definitely have a return visit!

Owner Response

Thanks for your comments. let us know when you return and we will roll out the red carpet. Ray

There are no words to express how much my friends and I enjoyed our stay at A Walk In The Clouds. The cabin was clean, homey, had the most gorgeous view, and it was pet friendly! The cabin was cost effective and we had the BEST time. I would highly recommend this cabin and can’t wait to book again in the future. If I had to nitpick my only advice would be to clean the upstairs windows somehow. Other than that it was one of our favorite vacations to date. Thank you!

Owner Response

Nice to hear you had a nice vacation. It is tough to keep the higher windows clean but we will make it happen. Ray

A Walk In The Clouds is truely a wonderful vacation spot. We ran into some incredibly hot and humid temperatures for September but it didn’t matter because it was so nice to just to hang around with the family at the cabin. You really don’t need to leave the views and everything the home has to offer. We stayed for six nights without having to make contact with anyone about a single issue with the cabin. That’s a rarity. When we did venture out of the cabin there was just so much to do within a short distance. Zip lining, rafting, Dollywood, fishing and so many other things to do. Many great places to eat as well such as Alamo, Local Goat, Paula Deen’s and Old Mill. Sitting out on the decks and watching the evening storms had to be the highlight of our stay. Simple but so enjoyable. We will be back to A Walk In The Clouds.

Owner Response

Sounds like you did it all. We try to keep everything working and am glad to hear we were successful. Ray

Very clean. Perfect for 4 people. Great location! Very QUIET! Enjoyed our stay

Owner Response

Thanks for your review. I will complement housekeeping. Ray

We spent our honeymoon at the cabin and felt the accommodations were absolutely great. The owners are very professional and the cabin is clean and well maintained. We are not animal owners and we did not see a hair anywhere. The views are absolutely stunning and the jacuzzi was great after hiking all day. The cabin is hidden off the path but just close enough to everything you need. We had a great stay and will definitely book this cabin again.

Owner Response

Thanks for the comments. We like that we are pet friendly and take great care in making it keeping the cabin clean. Hope to hear from you on your anniversary. Ray

Very enjoyable and would return. The provided directions got us there all the way. The house is welcoming, with comfortable furniture, an abundance of accessories, all kitchen basics. Ample lighting. Hot tub was ready to go. Loved the fireplace on a timer. List of places that deliver pizza appreciated. The written description matches the property, but by photos I didnt realize the upstairs loft / bed places the bed only feet away from the gaming tables. Limits how late/who can use them if someone needs the bed, that said the game tables were such fun. Views are lovely. I counted at least 12 hills looking out, and the hills wrap both directions. If view is important this is great. Again. Photos dont quite show this but there are some cabins nearby. To the right is an immediately adjacent cabin. To the left is another but further up the road. A few are dotted above and beneath you on the mountain. The ones in front do not ruin the view. Lovely hot water tank and good pressure. It was clearly very well maintained, and nothing looked skimped upon. Easy drive to dolly if that matters.

Owner Response

Thanks allot for your description of the cabin. Discribes the cabin correctly. We do what we can supply you with everything you need for your vacation an appreciator you commenting on it. Ray

Hope to go back to A Walk in the Clouds soon.

Owner Response

Hope to hear from you again. Ray

Reserving was easy. Stay was awesome!

Owner Response

Rose good to hear you enjoyed yourself. Hope to hear from you soon. Ray

We had an amazing time in this cabin! We had game nights every night that provided many laughs! The jacuzzi was wonderful and the views in the morning were spectacular! My kids loved this cabin and so did the adults! The cabin was beautiful and very well maintained. There was no sign of it being pet friendly which was great for us with no pets. Ray was very quick to respond about the directions! We didn’t need to call anyone during our stay, it went flawless! We highly recommend seeing Darren Romeo’s Magic Beyond Belief, it was incredible! My only disappointment was that the only sign of Christmas was a tree, it was beautiful but I was hoping for more throughout the cabin to make it feel like Christmas. We would definitely book this cabin again!!

Owner Response

Ronda Thanks for your nice review. We were planning on stepping up the Christmas decorations and will next your. Thanks Again Ray

We can't say enough good things about our stay. Everything was perfect right down to the Christmas tree and stockings hung on the fireplace. We couldn't have asked for better accommodations. This was the perfect beginning to our Christmas holiday. Thank you so much for making our trip one that we will remember for a lifetime! We will definitely be returning for another visit!

Owner Response

Teresa Wow. We do what we can and really appreciate it when our efforts get recognized. Christmas in the Smokys is way cool. Ray

We loved the views from the cabin! The beds were very comfortable and everything was well maintained. Housekeepers had everything spotless! Thank you for a great week!

Owner Response

Gee Glad you found the cabin comfortable. I will let housekeeping know. They do an awesome job and I will definitely let them know. Ray

Spur of the moment trip to getaway and unwind, but will definitely book again for a longer stay. The view is amazing, the cabin is adorable and very clean. All in all great experience!

Owner Response

Stephanie Glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to hear from you again. Ray

It was perfect.

Owner Response

Christopher Cant get any better than that. Thanks Ray

Loved the location and the views of the cabin!

Owner Response

Dorsey Appreciate you review. Hope to hear from you again. Ray

A few suggestions.....leave the propane on till April since the nights were quite chilly and we could’ve used it. Also a few blankets would be nice....Just had sheet and bedspread. The TV was great size but no HDMI cable so that it would’ve been high def. Otherwise great stay and great views. Be sure to turn on stinnet road not the gravel road past it. It’s a dead end.

Owner Response

Karen Thanks for your review. We leave the fireplace on all the time. We had an issue with it and had since had it fixed. We did get the TV operating properly. Ray

Our stay in this cabin was more then I could imagine , just Beautiful ! and as for as everything in the cabin very clean, and everything you would need to cook with and to use with the grill ! But one minor problem the fireplace didn't work ! But over all you couldn't ask for nothing no more beautiful then scenery alone with this cabin !! Thumbs Up

Owner Response

Deborah Thanks for your review and bringing the fireplace to our attention. We pride ourselves on keeping everything in good shape and operating. We did have it fixed. Ray

Wish we could have stayed longer! The cabin was amazing! The 2 most important things to me when I was researching cabins was a great view of the smokies and a clean cabin! Both were achieved and than some! The view of Mt. Leconte was amazing right off the deck (especially once the clouds lifted). There were plenty of kitchen accessories if you are up for preparing meals. The kids loved the game room! It was great to be able to also bring our dog with us (we left him in his crate a few hours at a time) and it was close enough to town to make a trip back and forth. We really enjoyed all the cabin had to offer and it is well cared for! We made many treasured memories. (One issue: My husband took a look at the outdoor grill and said it had seen better days and did not want to cook on it - that may need some attention). Thanks for a great vacation spot!

Owner Response

Lisa Glad our cabin fit most important things. We will look into replacing the grill. Ray

The cabin was great!!! Everyone loved the game room. The view was amazing. The only negative I guess would be it could use more towels and extra blankets. You won’t be disappointed if you choose this cabin.

Owner Response

Chad The game room is allot of fun. Sorry about your towel situation next time let us know. Ray

Everything exactly as pictured. Clean and comfortable. Has everything you need for a relaxing get away. Comfy beds. Amazing view. Hot and grill and fireplace. What more can i say? Lots of info about area and things to do. Directions seem intimidating to get there but were very easy to follow. STAY IN THIS PLACE!!!!

Owner Response

Tim Thanks for your comments. We do not plan on going anywhere. Ray

Excellent

Owner Response

Diane Thanks For your review. Ray

We had a small snafu at first but Ray got it worked out and fast! This cabin is a wonderful place all in its own. We loved staying the week there, close to everything! Ray and Walt are wonderful people and can’t wait to stay again with them!

Owner Response

Callene Sorry about the snafu but glad we worked it out for you. Thanks for yopur complements and hope to hear from you again. Ray

The view is awesome! I really liked this cabin and I’m already booking another trip there next year. They let you bring small dogs and there’s a nice area with grass right outside the cabin for them to walk so you don’t have to go far if you take them out at night. The drive up the mountain is steep but the roads are wide so it’s not bad. We met cars coming and going during our stay and there was plenty of room to pass without feeling like it was too tight. I definitely recommend this cabin!

The view was amazing. The location was very close to Dollywood, restaurants, ziplining, etc. Property was clean, the gameroom was awesome.
