We loved the location. Br prepared for a steep incline up to the cabin. The hot tub was nice. Playing pool in the evening was fun, however, the pool table needs to be upgraded with new pool sticks. The beds were awesome. We enjoyed our stay, wish it looked like the pics though. Overall a nice stay.
Nice get away for my husband and I. The driveway is pretty steep which I didn't know before hand but I may have over looked it. When we got there the hot tub was off and the maintenance contacted us quickly to turn it on. The only thing I did not like was that the Air only goes down to 68 and then the house is hot it it hot.
Good location and very cozy. A nice place for a weekend getaway.

Needs Improvements to Match Expectations
The photos of the property are somewhat misleading. The deck photos show six chairs, but in reality, there were only a fewâdefinitely not enough seating for a family of four to enjoy time outside.The upstairs main bedroom had only one AC vent and it struggled to keep the room cool. There were no dressers or closets available to store clothes. The downstairs bedroom had a very small closet, approximately 2 feet wide by 1 foot deep, and there were no clothes hangers provided. Even if there had been hangers, you wouldn't have been able to close the closet door. Be prepared to live out of your suitcase.Neither bedroom had any seating other than the beds. Linens were limitedâonly a small number of towels and washcloths were provided.The driveway had a tree at the entrance that scraped across the top of our vehicle, which could be a concern for taller cars or SUVs.Photos also showed an outdoor grill, but there was none on the property. The upstairs TV could not connect to Wi-Fi and had only an old DVD player attachedâso bring your own DVDs if you want to watch anything.Overall, I would recommend considering other accommodations.
I thought our stay was very good,the location was great, the cabin was well kept and everything worked fine- the driveway entrance was interesting to say the least but figured it out after a couple of trips
Home was just as described in the listing. Very clean and plenty of towels and rags. Travel sized soaps/ dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent was appreciated, although i had packed these items as well. We would definitely stay here again. To avoid having to go past the home and turn around to enter the drive way; instead of continuing down silver poplar ln, make a left on sky lodge ln then make a right onto silver poplar ln- the home will be on your right and you can pull right in.
We enjoyed our selves the cabin was great..driveway is a pain ,you have to go to the top of the hill to turn around to go to town and come back. We loved the cabin ,pool table and jacuzzi had a great time.
The property is nice, the driveway is very steep, you will need an All Wheel Drive to get up it. The cabin is in good shape, the pool table could use some TLC and the dish washer was i. Rough shape, but all in all it was a nice cabin. The kids loved the outside hot tub and the wife and I liked the upstairs private room with jacuzzi tub.
This cabin was filthy and half of everything was broken. The hot tub and jacuzzi were both broken which was a huge part of why I booked this location. The driveway is almost impossible to get up and down, especially at night because it is not lit
This was a very nice looking cabin. The beds were very comfortable. In generally the house needs a good exterior clean. We noticed huge spiders webs everywhere. It needs some maintains on the inside. If the toilet tanks are running then you will have little to no water pressure in the shower. If someone downstairs is showering, you will not water to shower upstairs. This was slighted inconvenient. The downstairs room has not closet space. At the very least they should include some space to unpack your clothing. Also, this house is not suited for 8 people. There was no futon in the upstairs bedroom. Make sure you have a 4x4 vehicle. The driveway was treacherous.
Nothing was clean. Found dirty diaper and cups . Floor was not clean and also a lot of broken stuff in this house like chair to table lamps and the couch was nasty ⊠overall would not recommend this cabin
The driveway is as steep as all the previous reviews state. 4Ă4 is preferable since at some point one of the cars struggled on the drive up.
There's a nail sticking out of the living room floor. The futon needs updating since it's sunken in.
The cookware needs updating as well. It's difficult to cook with pans that don't have a handle.
The windows have a lot of spider webs on the outside.
It is in between both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge which is ideal.
Here is how i would like to summarize my stay and aware anyone who is booking this cabin next.
1) It took me 45 min to get inside the cabin as the code did not work and had to work with physical key. Support team could'nt help.
2) The cleaning was terrible, the sofa smells like urine and front and back yard were like never cleaned for months.
3) The listing says king bedroom has a futon but it wasnt there and the vacasa managing team could resolve it. Kids has bad time sleeping well.
4) Listing show picture of barbecue grill but there is none.
5) First floor washroom doesnt lock from inside, Broken and chipped glasses and plates.
6) Only 4 cups, 4 glasses, so carry some with you.
7) No help from support team as no one showed up or called me back after i reported all these issues.
We came all the way from Louisiana to enjoy a family vacation together in Tennessee and we were not disappointed with this cabin rental. We enjoyed our stay. Itâs a cute cabin for the price and it definitely has the mountain cabin experience. Shortly after we arrived, we noticed that the upstairs bathroom was clogged up and wouldnât drain. I contacted Vacasa maintenance that night and they came the very next morning and had it fixed and even cleaned the down stairs drains too. So we were very impressed with how fast they came to help with the problem. We really enjoyed our stay here in Hillybills Hideout.
P.S. they do say in the description that the driveway to the cabin is a little steep and has a curve to it so be sure to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle or at least good tires with traction.
Dirty cabin, not well maintained. Broken grill, spider covered windows and dirty, dirty air conditioning, canât unpack upstairs, breaker off to jacuzzi, fridge beat up, coffee pot didnât work. Wouldnât stay at this cabin. It needs a deep cleaning. Vacasa however responded to issues quickly. They offered to send cleaning crew, sent maintenance to fix jacuzzi, and brought a new coffee pot. I would use Vacasa again to book a different place. They were very nice and responded well to needs.
I did love that the cabin was in the woods. Driveway is extremely steep google maps doesnât do it any justice. Washer sounds like two bears wrestling and the hot tub water had a mildew smell to it. Coffee table was broken you couldnât put the remote on it. We did contact vacasa and someone came out and put some conditioner in the hot tub water. Then it smelled like conditioned water with mildew. Cabin is so secluded that you really feel like you canât come and go as you please. With that being said I did enjoy staying there.
I recently stayed at a log cabin, and unfortunately, it was far from the cozy retreat I had hoped for. The cabin was disappointingly dirty, with neglect evident in every corner. The fridge had noticeable dents, and to my dismay, none of the locks on the doors were functional, leaving me feeling uneasy about security.
Adding to the frustration, the driveway managed to scratch my car, further diminishing the overall experience. It's disheartening when basic amenities and maintenance are overlooked, turning what could have been a pleasant getaway into a disappointing stay.
This cabin is very cozy and we enjoyed our stay here for 3 days! There are things that need improvement, especially for the price you pay to stay.
The cabin needs a deep cleaning inside and out, also, the pullout sofa and the futon need to be replaced! The futon is broken and both are very dirty. When we opened the sofa bed there were mouse droppings on the mattress we had to clean.
For the price we paid it should have been clean, with linens, pillows and blankets for the extra beds they listed in the description (pull-out sofa and futon). There are no extra pillows or blanets for these extra beds! We went out and purchased blankets for the kids. I informed Vacasa, they were very helpful and delivered extra linens and 2 blankets the following day after we checked in. We just put pillow cases over the small couch cushions to use for pillows.
Upstairs, in the master suite, the tv does not have anything but a very old dvd player that we had to keep blowing into to get to work, and a few dvds to watch, we were not expecting that.
Some of the positive things about the cabin was the gas fireplace, the hot tub and location. I think we should be refunded some of the money we paid for the cleaning đ
