This cabin is all about the views. Wow, are they gorgeous. The back of the cabin is floor to ceiling glass and the roof pitches up so you have unobstructed views of the Smokies from your high vantage point up in the hills. The Cobbly Nob area is quiet but it is about 15-20 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg, so if you want to be in the heart of it all, this is not the cabin for you. But if you don't mind driving a bit to things, and love peacefulness and views, then it's perfect. I am picky with cleanliness and I would say that the cabin met my expectations - not exceeded them. I noticed dust and a few bugs underneath rugs when we moved them to sweep up some crumbs my boys left on the floor. There were a few critters (mostly centipedes) here and there but I think that comes with being in the mountains. My biggest issue was with the beds. The linens were scratchy and didn't feel 100% clean (please invest in higher quality, smooth linens). Also the mattress and pillows did not have protectors on them - it was just the mattress and the sheets and the pillow and the pillow cover. Again this would be fine for most people, but given the amount of people that stay here I would invest in protectors to prevent bed bugs, etc. This grossed me out a bit. Also, it felt like they didn't wash the comforter between stays. I don't know for sure that they didn't clean it, but it was huge and wouldn't fit in the washing machine, so I assume that they don't take it out to be cleaned b/w visits. The extra blankets available didn't seem 100% clean either. Other than that, the cabin was tidy. The kitchen was well appointed and we cooked in it several times. Laundry was great. Grill and hot tub were great. The one thing that irked me was when we arrived there was an envelope for a tip for the cleaning person. The cleaning fee was included in our stay. Would we stay here again? Yes. Would give it 5 stars were it not for the linens on the beds. Only thing to improve upon IMO.
