Wonderful Weekend

We stayed at Over The Rainbow for 3 nights during New Years Eve weekend with our 4 adult children and spouses and our 6 grandchildren. This was so much fun. The location is perfect. We loved being away from the crowds. It was close enough in for a meal out or for shopping. The cabin is beautiful. The grandkids loved the air hockey table and theater room. We cooked most of our meals with ease and loved the family time. We would definitely rent again.

Gorgeous Family Cabin with Amazing Mountain Views!

From the moment we first stepped into “Over the Rainbow”, we knew that this trip was going to surpass any of our prior vacations to the mountains! Ten family members traveled from Ohio, Nebraska, & SC to celebrate Dad’s 80th Birthday together to one of his favorite vacation destinations. This clean, well-appointed cabin has it all: Amazing mountain views from every location, 3 huge decks, plus romantic bedroom balconies, comfortable outdoor seating & dining areas, relaxing jetted hot tub, & a new gas grill! That’s just the exterior! The interior cabin is gorgeous too! It was clean, smelled fresh, has pretty cabin decor, with plenty of space for us to hang out together in the kitchen/dining areas or in the beautiful Great Room with enough comfortable seating for everyone! We had a blast watching the game & our own DVD movies in the lower level theatre room! There are 10 comfy recliners with cup holders, big screen TV, & surround sound to give that real cinema-like experience! The private cabin setting felt as if we were on our own mountain with no other cabins nearby, but on the flip-side, we felt secure knowing our road was safely gated. Those of us who liked to get out & about enjoyed many of the nearby attractions: Clingman’s Dome, Cade’s Cove, Dollywood, the Arts & Crafts Circle & the new Skylift in Gatlinburg. Make sure you stop in at the little cabin craft store near the Fawn Hollow Gate…it’s run by a Presbyterian Group as a ministry for talented Appalachian crafters. We all found lovely little treasures to buy there! It was sad to leave this gorgeous, family-friendly cabin home & it’s amazing mountain views! We sincerely hope to come back again next year! One last important detail: the owners, Mark & Debbie, are very personable & kind people to work with. We had to head up from SC earlier than planned due to the effects of Hurricane Irma & they were quite understanding & accommodating. We felt truly blessed to spend this Milestone Celebration together at “Over the Rainbow”! Our Dad can’t stop talking about it! Thanks again, Mark & Debbie!

Wedding Weekend

The we rented was wonderful. Perfect for my whole family of 14 to spend time together during my son’s wedding weekend festivities. Plenty of towels, pillows and blankets. Unit was very clean. The air hockey, pool table and movie room was a huge hit with the 5 kids. Thank you so much for making the weekend even more special for our family.

The Best Rental Ever

As soon as we walked into the cabin we knew we had rented a special place. The view we received thru the 10 seat dining table was only surpassed by the view thru the windows in the cathedral ceiling family room. My wife sat down as we marveled at our luck in renting such a beautiful cabin, she stated “I could live here and never leave”. I felt the same way. We finished touring the bedrooms, the master is on the main level along with family room and kitchen. Upstairs on second floor, there are 3 bedrooms. Bedroom 1 facing the valley, does have a small bath with shower, with double bed, sliding glass doors with small deck. Bedroom 2, has a large adjoining bath with garden tub , shower, double bed , small deck with a view up Wears Valley. Bedroom 3 has no bath but does share the large bath down hallway with bedroom 2, queen size bed, view of Wears Valley. Lower level, we found a spacious game room, with gas fireplace, 42 inch flat screen , Sliding glass door opening onto large wrap around deck. Pool table, air hockey and fooseball table. Bedroom 1, has a queen size bed, a set of glass doors opening onto rear deck. Bedroom 2, a set of log double bedded bunk beds, there is 1 bath on lower level shared between both bedrooms. On this same level on deck is the hot tub. Back to main level on the rear deck is the gas grill with tables for outside dining, Adirondack chairs are spaced all along the deck. Master bedroom has king bed, set of sliding glass doors, 2 person shower, single vanity sink. All in all we loved the cabin, a beautiful location, a beautiful cabin, thru a private gate.

Great Fall Family Vacation!!

Our entire family enjoyed our third vacation at Over the Rainbow the end of October and early November. The weather was perfect and the trees were gorgeous all over the area. The views from the amazing cabin were breathtaking! Our family enjoyed drives through Cades Cove and hiking to Abrams Falls. The cabin has perfect accommodations for all of us with a great kitchen and dining area. It is always clean and a wonderful place to enjoy each other with conversation, movies, games and family meals. After missing our family vacation last year due to health reasons for some, it was great to all get together again this year at Over the Rainbow. We will be back! –The Hudgens Family – Joelton, Tennessee

Our stay at Over the Rainbow

We had a wonderful time and the cabin was just perfect. We had stayed there one other time and were pleased that you added an overhang to the porch outside and tables to eat at since we last stayed there, when the cabin was brand new. We will definitely stay there again.The view is awesome! The place was immaculate!

Family Retreat

Our families had a very restful and exciting time at the cabin. We had plenty of room and things to entertain the children, both big and small. The location was excellent for travel to Pigeon Forge and Townsend. The quiet setting was what appealed to us, too. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Mark and Debbie are very accommodating and respond to situations in a timely manner. I would recommend these cabins to anyone, and we would rent Over the Rainbow again.

Beautiful mountain vacation home

We really enjoyed our stay at Over The Rainbow – we would give a 4.5 of 5 start rating. The house is very nice, clean, well-maintained and has beautiful views. After thunderstorms, you could see the valleys fill with clouds and it was clear how the Smoky Mountains got their name. All this, right from our balcony. Kids loved the movie room, and the kitchen had all we needed to prepare dinners for our large group. Mark and Debbie were helpful when we needed sheets for the extra bed. The Internet was slow, but we weren’t there for the Internet. Another refrigerator, possibly downstairs, would have been helpful, and some cutting boards in the kitchen. Otherwise we had all we needed for our group to stay comfortably Our only disappointment was our inability to find the caves and waterfalls we understood were on the Over The Rainbow property. We asked about local walks, but never found those caves and waterfalls. It would be good to clarify that in your listing. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will always look back at our time spent at Over The Rainbow very fondly.

Gorgeous!

The views from all levels of this cabin were amazing!.. We visit the Smokey Mountains regularly and last year stayed on the Townsend side to escape the traffic and over commercialization. It is peaceful and beautiful in this area. The cabin has everything!. We had a family reunion with plenty of beds and space to spread out. Can’t wait to go back!

5 Star cabins!

Beautiful log house with everything to make you feel right at home. We have stayed at some of their other cabins and are never disappointed. The views are breathtaking. We usually take a couple days and just stay at the cabin and enjoy the peace and quiet. Everything is comfortable, clean and well maintained. We come for the views and to get away. We will definitely be back. We saw 5 bear, a coyote and deer and turkey the day we went into the park. Next time we want to bring our adult kids and the grandkids and we will have plenty of room ar a Over the Rainbow!

Simply Amazing……delivers everything promised and more

We arrived at the Cabin on December 26 for a week long vacation with family and friends. We had never rented through VRBO nor have we ever rented a cabin in this area. We were very skeptical in the process….boy could we not have been more wrong. The cabin was everything that was promised. We had zero issues with the process or the cabin. The cabin delivers the views, the comfort and everything else promised. We traveled there with about 12 people and had plenty of room. We cooked all of our meal in the fully equipped kitchen and had plenty of utensils and plates for everyone. I had looked forward to sleeping in on vacation, but I could not help waking up before the sunrise each day so that I could see it. I must have taken 100 pictures of the sun coming up over the mountains. The kids and the adults enjoyed the game room and movie theatre. We had to buy batteries for the remotes as I think the previous guests took them, but this was not a big deal…and if this was our biggest problem of the trip we could accept that. We spent a lot of time in the cabin and exploring the property. Great for hiking and long walks. The National Park entrance was close by and we had a great time hiking and seeing the water falls. We also did the near by zip lining and mountain roller coasters. We truly had a great time and would not hesitate to rent this cabin again, could not have asked for anything more. Clean, spacious and comfortable.

My wife, son and I had a fantastic, relaxing time at the Over the Rainbow Cabin. The place is huge, the views are awesome. We stayed only a few days, but we were able to relax and unwind to such a degree it felt like a week. We hope to be back soon. I could not give a place a higher rating. Thanks so much!

Awesome weekend

We rented Over the Rainbow for the weekend of my son’s wedding. We had such an awesome time that one of the main topics of conversation was “when can we rent this cabin again”? The cabin was spotless clean, beautifully furnished, and the view was amazing. The only problem we had for the weekend was that the satellite tv didn’t have ESPN which was going to put a damper on our football viewing. I called the owner about the problem and he immediately took care of it. We had ESPN within 30 minutes and he even called me back to follow up and make sure we were happy. What service! I would highly recommend Over the Rainbow and the owner to anyone wanted a great place for a family gathering.

Our family had a wonderful time staying at Over the Rainbow! This was our third time to stay in this cabin. We have stayed several times in Precious Memories and once at A little Bit of Heaven. All of our stays have been wonderful. We love the movie room and all the extra room we have at Over the Rainbow. There were 10 of us this year . It was great, the view was wonderful and two nights we had a bear to visit!

The cabin was set in a peaceful setting, and spacious, and homey. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit, and the hot tub was so relaxing. We will be staying here again.

Great Cabin for Our Entire Family

Our family of 20, ranging in ages 10 to 71, stayed at Over the Rainbow cabin for 3 nights in August, 2015. We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary with a wedding ceremony that was held at the historic Headrick Chapel located on Wears Valley Road just a short distance from the cabin. Over the Rainbow and all of its amenities far exceed our expectations. The cabin is absolutely gorgeous and the views are exceptional. The kids in our family spent much of their time enjoying the nicely equipped game room and the theater room while the adults hung out in the living room, on the decks and around the fire pit. The hot tub, located on the ground level near the fire pit, was great to relax in. The rooms in the cabin are nice sized for a large group and the kitchen is well equipped with most everything you might need to make your stay enjoyable. Early one morning our granddaughter spotted a black bear slowing strolling through the back yard making his way to the woods…that was quite a thrill for all who were able to witness his appearance! We found plenty to do close to the cabin. Tubing on the Little River near the cabin was fun for the entire family. The water was low when we were there, it probably would be more fun when the water level is higher, but fun nonetheless. SMNP, Cades Cove entrance and Pigeon Forge are all nearby. We found the owners, Mark and Debbie, to be very friendly and helpful. We had been planning this family event for quite some time and of course had lots of questions about the cabin and the surrounding area which they were quick to answer for us. When we inquired about fire wood for the fire pit they were happy to let us know we could buy wood in town or they could have the wood delivered to the cabin for us before our arrival for a reasonable cost. We chose to have the wood delivered to our cabin and it was there waiting for us when we arrived. Thank you Mark and Debbie for helping us enjoy this memorable milestone in our families lives. We hope to return to Over the Rainbow again.

1st Extended Family Vacation

This was our first vacation with all the kids and grandkids (Minus Devin, who left this world this past December). The cabin and the entire area worked out just perfect for us. “Over the Rainbow” was large enough that everyone had their space, yet were able to spend a lot of quality time together. Plus, all the kids got to see and experience “life in the mountains”. We are return Black Bear Hollow customers and will continue to be. Devin would have really loved this place and he actually did send us a rainbow!

Our group on 8 Adults and 10 kids (all under 5!) could not have had a better time during our stay in “Over The Rainbow” The cabin is beautiful and is only trumped by the views out the window. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves when we desired, we were shocked by how well equipped it was! We will be back without a doubt in the future and would recommend this cabin with no reservation at all. It was an amazing week!!!

Wonderful Vacation!

Our family (my husband & me along with our 3 married sons & their families) traveled from Iowa, New Jersey, Georgia, & South Carolina to spend a week at Over the Rainbow & we had a wonderful time! The layout and size of the cabin are great – even with 8 adults & 7 kids there was plenty of room for everyone. The living room had enough seating that we all could gather there, including the grandkids & their toys, without seeming too crowded. Our grandkids are all a little too young yet to “turn them loose” in the basement rec area, but in a few more years that would be a great option for them. They did love sleeping in the bunkbed room, and we all enjoyed watching the Super Bowl in the theater room. Several areas (living room, bedrooms) of the cabin have very nice carpeting which provided great soundproofing for those who tried to sleep in a little in the mornings! The dining room table was also nice & big and provided a great spot for crafts for the kids & games for the adults. There was even enough room in the dining room that we put up our own little Christmas tree, as we were celebrating our family Christmas during this vacation! The views are as beautiful as everyone says – it was a little too cold to be outside a lot during most of our visit, so didn’t get to spend much time sitting out on the deck, but it was nice to have snow for our Christmas! We had toured this cabin the last time we were in the Smokies two years ago, and could see that improvements are continually being made: the area of the deck with the grill now has a roof over it, complete with a ceiling fan, which would be great in the summer! Also, one night we enjoyed a fire in the outdoor firepit, which has had massive log benches added since we had seen it last. The full size washer & dryer were also very helpful for our crew. Mark was very accommodating to work with and responded promptly to all our emails. There was one problem with the hot tub, but he had a repairman out very quickly to work on it, and called to give us an update of the repairs. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent this cabin again!

THANK YOU!

Your respect and cooperation is greatly appreciated!

Just a Note…

When we started renting cabins we had no rental agreement. As time passed and things happened the rental agreement got started and continues to grow. We make every effort to keep things as simple as possible. Unfortunately, some things need to be spelled out and so the rental agreement is necessary. There is no substitute for common sense. So even if something is not detailed here, if you have doubts, please give us a call. Thanks for understanding.

** Rental Agreements are subject to being updated at any time.**
(and almost certainly will have to be…)
