"We stayed in unit 102 at Bear Crossing. Condo was clean and roomy. My favorite part was the balcony overlooking Little Pigeon River. Nice outdoor furniture to sit and relax and just listen and watch the river. We highly recommend Kirklands Smoky Mountain rentals. "

"We stayed in the Old Mill Cabin. It is really more of a home, but what a wonderful location! The back yard is so pleasant and quiet. We actually even saw a fox! Communication was great, and house was very clean. Door code entry was a breeze. "
