Diamond in the Rough in Waldens Creek Road/Pigeon Forge

Flora Brands

Our stay was a lot of fun. This property has so much potential if it had some TLC. Great location and layout. Upkeep is paramount in rentals. We have several of our own and I understand how expensive it is, but the ROI is worth it!

We loved the simplicity of the cozy cabin. The surrounding woods and nestled in the mountains made it quite cozy. We loved the fire pit, plenty of room to spread out.

Clean and fresh.

The only thing, was to watch movies in the theater room, we never were able to get to working. Too complicated to operate. Instructions for that would have been great.

March is our families busiest month between 2 birthdays and an anniversary. This year made 10 years for my wife and I and this place did justice. Staff was beyond extraordinary.

We loved this cabin. It had so much room and was very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms are dated and don’t look as good as the rest of the cabin, but they worked just fine. We will definitely visit this cabin again.

Twanisha C - stayed February, 2021

It was a very beautiful cozy cabin that my family and I really enjoyed.

I recommend renting from Heartlands at any season. We had a wonderful time. Our cabin was less than ten minutes away from all the exciting attractions offered. My family enjoyed The Diamond in The Rough, we would like to thank the owners for providing such a cozy stay.

Good times with great friends!

The layout of the cabin is great for multiple families. There is plenty of space for everyone to have their spot. The multiple bathrooms helped with everyone getting ready in the mornings, great supply of hot water. We enjoyed all of the extras--hot tub, pool table, theater room, and gas grill. The cabin does have some wear upon it. Everything works, just the appearance of things like showers, could be updated and made more secure for use. Mattresses could be updated as well, most caused a roll towards the middle. All in all, we enjoyed our stay. I would recommend this cabin for multiple families staying.

We came down for a motorcycle vacation. We chose this cabin for its size. When we arrived it was even bigger than we though. Plenty of space for our group very nice cabin. The only this I wasn't crazy about is the parking as we had a 22' trailer with us.

Fantastic stay

We loved this cabin. It was private and spacious. The kids enjoyed the game room and theatre and they were downstairs, so the adults could enjoy the second floor. They also loved the bunk bedroom. The cabin was furnished with plenty of dishes and cooking supplies for 11. Would definitely rent this again. Just a lovely and quiet place.

Diamond in the Rough was a beautiful home with a nice layout for our family of twelve to enjoy the Smokey Mountains for a week.

This was a very nice home to stay at and our family felt comfortable there. The garbage cans need to be bear proofed to avoid the bears making a mess close to the house.

Awesome place to get away!

We had a blast staying in this cabin! There were 9 of us and we all had plenty of room! There was one minor detail with the grill, make sure to bring a grill lighter, because it is a hard gas line. The grill does need to be replaced, it took forever for our burgers to cook! But, all in all, was very clean and nice. We will definitely stay at Diamond in the rough again!

we all loved it, and plan to stay there again.

My wife and I had our three young adult children drive in from from two hours away to meet us at cabin with one friend each. We fixed meals in the cabin, kids were very excited to see there were things to do at the cabin and able to spread out. we had very heavy rains this weekend with floods galore so doing things in national park wasn’t possible. we visited Gatliburg for half a day but kids were content going back to hang out at cabin playing pool, watching movies, getting in hot tub, playing air hockey and spending time together as a family. we plan to do this again at this cabin.

A really great place to stay!

The kids loved the cabin, as we all did. The amenities were great. Everything was clean. Driveway was a little rough to get into. I was skeptical of renting this unit at first due to previous review about bad smell. Well, when we arrived there was a really bad odor in the lower level However, after doing some investigating, I found the problem and it was an easy fix. Where the popcorn bar is, used to be a laundry hook-up. It is still there. The drain for the washing machine was open and the smell was coming from the sewer. Imagine the smell. I took several paper towels and made a plug for the drain and problem solved. I would imagine that the cleaning people had taken a plug out previously if there was one there. I left a note for the next people and the cleaners to leave the plug. Didn't have any other problems of any kind while we were there. Would definitely return and rent again. Unique interior and fun place to stay.

Excellent

They were so friendly and more than accommodating. We were on vacation in Myrtle Beach and hurricane Florence came into town and we were evacuated. We found this cabin last minute, thankfully. They gave us a discount, plus half off of one night because we were getting there so late. We drove through the night from SC to TN. They left everything out so we could get info and check into the cabin, they also did all of the paperwork via email so we could book the cabin. They even called the next day to check on us to make sure we arrived safely!! The house was amazing, and very well equipped for families and children. We are looking forward to coming back for another visit

We had a fabulous family time and felt at home in the cabin.

The cabin is a little rustic. We paid a premium due to holiday weekend. Heartland was wonderful for late arrival. We ran a little low with some given supplies. Kitchen was well stocked and loved the big tables. I would rent again.

Incredibly clean cabin with awesome staff to organize your stay.

We have used Heartland Rentals in the past and we have ALWAYS been very satisfied with our rentals. The front staff is amazing and

always ready to serve you. We arrived when the weather was a little unpredictable and they called to make sure we made it safely.

They even took the time to remind us to go by the grocery store in case we could not get off the mountain the next day due to snow and ice. Our youth group was very entertained by the pool table, air hockey and movie cinema. I would highly recommend this rental agency to anyone interested in renting clean, well-kept cabins with amazing staff!

Great Time!

Glad to see the updates on this cabin. Loved the extra shelf put in the kitchen from the year before was easier to have our stuff located. Our youth played games and ate at the big table. The only minus was the rugs was slippery inside the living room. Even though they had things underneath to prevent sliding couple of our adults and children almost fell. Glad it was decorated for Christmas this year also. Hopefully be back next year.

totally spectacular

There were 5 families meeting for a family get-together and it was a great time. The cabin was super and was big enough for all of us. The large table in the enclosed porch was appreciated by all and was the most used so all the families could gather and enjoy each others company. We have dealt with many of the rental companies around Gatlinburg and in my opinion heartland rates 10 out of 10. Super nice and very helpful.

Beautiful surroundings

I'm relatively new to the cabin rental experience, and I've found it is sooo much better than hotels. This facility is wonderful for a large group, There's so much room for everyone to feel he has enough space without feeling cramped; the strong points of this facility are the grill, dining areas, basement for games, and large parking area. The administrators were helpful to answer questions and took care of a fire alarm with low battery that kept beeping.

Beautiful and clean cabin, perfect for our family gathering.

We loved the cabin so very well, everything was more then we expected. We received great service, great communication, great accommodations. The only issue we had was the hockey table. I called Saturday and a hockey puck was brought for the table so that made the kids very happy. Otherwise, we were extremely happy and plan to stay with you again.

Have a Blessed Day and thanks again for allowing us to have a wonderful gathering place for our family.

We have stayed in this cabin for the last four years, it handles our large group very well, we 16 people per year so having enough parking space as well as enough room in the cabin is really important, The staff at Heartland Rentals is always amazing to work with, Misty and Holly have handled my reservation each year and it goes very smoothly, thanks for allowing us to share in such good memories and this year it snowed on us with was a added bonus.

Wonderful family time.

The cabin was everything we needed. everything was in working order and we had plenty of room for our 4 families. The only complaint I had was we were in one of the upstairs bedrooms and the water pressure was low. Although everything else seemed to work properly. Overall experience was great and we will stay with Heartland again. Hopefully next Christmas and in the same cabin. It was nice to hear from the staff prior to our arrival and afterwards to make sure everything was o.k. Had never had that before at other rentals.

Thank you for an awesome stay and the wonderful memories that were made.
