Sycamore: Cozy Cabin atop a Mountain Stream and only Minutes from Downtown Gatlinburg
Nestled in a gorgeous wooded area and conveniently located near downtown Gatlinburg, this wonderful cabin allows you to stay in the action with local restaurants and attractions. Sycamore features a queen bed, a sleeper sofa, and a full kitchen. The deck at the back of the cabin offers a view of a small stream. It is a great place to sit and relax and also has a private hot tub. This cabin also offers wifi service, and free downtown parking passes. The many amenities this cabin provides make it a wonderful vacation spot. Sycamore is even pet friendly for a pet no larger than 50 pounds with a $50 non-refundable pet fee.
Stream outside the back door was awesome. Off the busy main street of Gatlinburg but still convenient to everything. Beware parking cost in Gatlinburg when staying here. We went places that had their own parking lots
Loved listing to the rushing creek in the mornings with coffee and in the evening with some board games and cocktails. We made no plans, were there just to get away from the day to day routine. Only thing that is always a must when in Gatlinburg is having breakfast at pancake pantry.
The cottage was clean and cozy. It had everything you would need for a few days away. We would stay again. The staff were extremely helpful an friendly
While check in was easy and it was close to everything it could have been cleaner. Looks as if they made the bed and ran a swiffer on the floor and called it clean. We were right behind the hotel and flapjacks restaurant. There was a big spotlight shining right in our eyes trying to sit in the hot tub. It was the perfect size for a couple.
Floors were very dirty i had to wear shoes the whole time. Pans were dirty with grease in them. The hot tub was luke warm at best. And the light from the hotel on the hill shines directly in your eyes at nite..its a cute little cabin but the cleaning crew doesnt seem to do much...please replace the mat in the bathtub its gross. Feel free to reach out with anymore questions..
As soon as we walked in, our feet were black. We had to take sanitizing wipes to the floor and it was still terrible. There were hair/dust balls everywhere, as soon as we pulled the comforter back, there was a huge hairball under the pillows. It didnât look like the place had been cleaned in a year. We tried to get some pans out to cook breakfast and they were COVERED in mouse feces. All of the cabinets were covered in mouse feces. Bathroom was filthy. The worst place we have ever stayed in.
Not what we expected
Our stay with Park Side was less than what we expected. The Sycamore 12 had not been cleaned in who knows when. There was rat feces all on the floor in the cabinets and in all of the drawers. We did notify the main office of the issue and they came out and put out glue traps after the groceries we left on the the counter were ruined by the rat. At no time was any of the feces cleaned up by any one at Parkside nor was any kind of apology for the issues up to this point.
After coming back in we noticed one of the glue traps missing and started looking for the missing trap which led to finding more than we expected. The HVAC duct behind the couch was completely missing and the hole was coved in trash from where the rats had been coming in and out, there is also a golf ball size hole behind the fridge. We had to use the ironing board to cover the hole behind the couch and glass behind the fridge. The maintenance department was informed the next morning of the issues and they informed the office that they needed to be taken care of. Later that day the large hole was fixed but not the one behind the fridge (the glass was still over the hole when we left)
and still no word from Parkside.
After all of these issues having to rebuy groceries, clean up rat feces and running back and forth to the main office to make sure someone was going to take care of the issue, this is by far the worst place we have stayed.
We loved our cabin. The location was secluded enough but still conveniently located to all the major attractions. The creek behind the cabin was a peaceful way to wake up and listen to while having a cup of coffee. Everyone at Parkside Cabin Rentals was thorough and friendly! We plan to go back next soon!
