"This is a beautiful cabin, easy to get to with amazing views. The hot tub was broke on arrival Sunday evening but was fixed by Tuesday morning. The indoor pool was a great size and used often along with hot tub. The deck fire pit was so convenient and simply gorgeous at night. The kitchen didn't disappoint with having 2 of everything which we needed for our group. My only complaint was the door chime to the deck door on the main floor. We used this door probably 200 times a day. No other deck doors or even front door had a door chime. They were all deactivated nor did the pool door chime when opened. This made it hard to sleep in, nap or go to bed early. We had a visitor at our cabin as many do thankfully all our car doors were locked. Would recommend this cabin and stay again in the future."

"Sky River Lodge was perfect for our dual bachelor weekend. EVERYTHING we could need was in this cabin, we loved the rooms, the deck, the pool, the theatre room and the spaciousness for everything! Highly recommend. If you're taking 20 people, just know there is one hottub and you can maybe fit 6 people in it. The heated jacuzzi connected to the pool isn't very warm, but is still quite nice to be in."

"I wanted all of my family to get together over the holidays. We had more than enough space to get together or stay apart:-). I was very satisfied with everything about this rental. We did have a mmix of adults and little children so the only thing I would say is this home is better for adults' with minimal youth guests. Only because most of the rooms are King beds. I don't like to have people sleeping in common areas on the pullouts. You would need people willing to share a bed.
I would recommend this cabin for sure!"

"Stayed at Sky River Lodge upon arrival cabin was clean. Hot tub was not working but was soon fixed and Cabins for You followed up with me to verify."
"Cabin was amazing! We will plan to be back!"
"We had an amazing stay. It was beautiful. Even better in person then pictures. Look forward to staying again soon. It was clean, had everything we needed."
"everything was great the pool its clean and super comfy and general its a really good house"
"Our cabin in was absolutely amazing with the most beautiful views I’ve ever had of the mountains. It slept all 19 of us comfortably. My only issues were the fact that the cabin leaked (water streaming from the ceiling) in one on the front rooms. We did have terrible storms that night but the return response we received was generic “thank you, we will pass along your concerns” and nothing was done. Also, the internet and tvs went out and we could not watch the Final Four. Kind of a big deal for us. Other than that, the accommodations were superb."
"This cabin was absolutely AMAZING!! I would recommend staying in this cabin every single year. I typically use Cabins of the smoky mountains for our cabin rentals, but Cabins for you was the easiest rental ever. Everything was just as it appeared in the advertisement. Actually the pictures didn't give the cabin all of it's justice. If you think the pictures were amazing wait until you see it in person.... It was so gorgeous I felt so bad we couldn't find a broom anywhere so we swept with a mop lol! It was just too beautiful to leave a crumb..."
"Absolutely beautiful cabin! Exactly as described, but the pictures did the cabin no justice. Very clean, easy to find, easy to access. I would 100% rebook with cabins for you."
"The cabin was very nice, it looks just like the pictures. The beds were very comfortable. It was a perfect stay for us. When we did have to call about a issue, they had someone right out to fix it."
"We enjoyed our stay at Sky River Lodge and the amazing views. Would have liked to have WiFi working on all the TV’s in the rooms. Most TV’s only got 1 channel and we couldn’t connect to Netflix/Hulu etc. If you have a travel Roku or Apple TV bring that to watch games, or movies in the evening. Fan remotes need new batteries, and the fan in the bunk bed room has no remote and doesn’t work even from the light switch. The pool is very clean, and we enjoyed it a lot. We left some floats for other guests to use. The view of the mountains from the pool or hot tub is absolutely beautiful. The morning views from the upstairs deck are breathtaking. The fireplace in the evenings provides great heat. Overall this cabin was a 10/10 and better than the pictures. Plenty of beach towels in the pool area, lots of dishes, pots & pans etc. The two fridges, microwaves, ovens, & dishwashers make cooking a breeze."
"Our entire group raved about this cabin all weekend and nobody was ready to leave. From the indoor pool to the theater to the beautiful views from the hot tub and all the comfy bedrooms- our not always easy to please group of adults was floored by the stunning accommodations. 10/10 would stay agin!"
"The cabin was gorgeous! Perfect for an extended family getaway!"
