The location is excellent. Walking distance into Gatlinburg is fantastic. Counters, bedding, linens, all clean and nice. The cabin itself needs a deep cleaning. Walls and floors were somewhat dirty. It's a cabin.. in the woods.. i get it. But it needs sealed up and treated for millipedes and spiders. We killed a lot of them. Please add a broom and dustpan to your cabins. I'd stay again.
Good property for a couple. Good kitchen set up with reliable appliances. Only concern would be insects in the cabin, but seeing that your in a cabin in the woods, bugs are to be expected to some degree.
My husband and I needed a quick get away and this fit the bill. We loved the access to the hot tub on a separate deck. it was quiet and relaxing for us. Aunt Bugâs was wonderful to work with. Fun staff!!

Overall the cabin was in great shape. It was clean, neat and ready for our stay. The cabin has been updated somewhat since the photos were posted on aunt bug's. That was a nice surprise.

We had a very comfortable stay at moonshine madness. The small cabin was quaint and tidy. Very close to local attractions, making it very easy to visit the area. We enjoyed our drive through Smoky Mountain State Park and Cade's Cove. The mountains are fabulous.

I booked a long weekend stay about 2 weeks out. It was clean and cozy and indeed dog friendly. The check in-out times could be adjusted to better accommodate travelers. Other than that I have no issues, I enjoyed the Express key less check in.

Directions to cabin were wrong. TV had no signal. Hot tub jets didn't work. Mold on back of shower curtain. I will not call on this company again.
The cabin was not horrible. Would we stay again, possibly but needs some updates. Its a little tricky to find at first but in a good location close to everything. Would be hard to get to in the snow. The cabin did look like the pictures but a lot of updates are needed. The eyes to the stove were broke and you cant read the thermostat. The bed sags towards the middle so you are sleeping sideways some. The back door knob is loose, falling off and the grill is very outdated and not able to use. Overall not horrible but definitely needs some attention. Also not a deal breaker but the christmas decorations were still out and my husband put them in the closet. They were not plugged in just sitting around like someone started to put them up then quit.

The cabin itself is in good shape. The kitchen could use better silverware and the stove was very old and could use replacing.The towels and the quilt on the bed could've been cleaner. The pillows were shot and should be thrown out. The outside green area between the cabins was trashed with debree from the recent metal roofs that were installed on the cabins. We were surprised to see that we weren't really secluded in either the mountains or the woods.
Not very clean stove has only 3 blinds that work kitchen was without a sink cover no dish soap tv
not very clean at all hot tub heat control doesn't work stove only has 3 blinds that work.tv didn't work spider webs every where lamp at bed sight no switch to turn on. no soap to wash dishes' I wuld not rent from them again. I spent around 900 dollars for 3 nights wasn't very pleasurable. I really think i should be refunded part of the money back because i didn't get 900 dollars worth of pleasure.Would i reccomed your cabins no i would not.Very poor maintance and very poor house keeping also to many rules to follow.We had a very unpleasant stay. NEVER AGAIN WOULD I STAY HERE.
Walking in the door when we first arrived, it had the same feel as the pictures. However, we began looking around & noticed lots of room for improvement. First, there were 2 very noticeable stains on one of the pillow shams. These were fresh stains that could easily be gotten out if the shams were washed. Next, the mattress had a very large & visibly obvious sag in it where itâs worn out & in desperate need of replacement. Same with the pillows - sleeping on them was like sleeping on empty pillow cases. The fireplace quit working on our last night after only ~3 hours of total use during the stay. The porch light wasn't working - wouldnât have been such a big deal to us if the porch wasnât slanted (intentionally, like for snow?) & it wasnât getting dark so early. Iâd also suggest taking more time to keep spider webs knocked down. The outside wasnât bad but there were definitely plenty of old ones on the inside that needed to be wiped down. As far as the bathroom, I would also suggest taking the time to wipe the mildew off the ceiling. Again, not a huge deal to us but it doesnât present well to guests. The shower curtain liner was covered in mildew & needs replacement. Last thing was that we went out on the porch on our last night & the door knob was just laid in the door, so it pulled right out.
Not a terrible stay, it just wasnât kept up to what I would consider reasonable standards.
A nice little place just off the strip. Equivalent cost to a hotel with much more to offer and privacy. The only thing wrong was the light on the hot tub did not work and the chemicals were off.
The name is accurate Aunt Bugs with emphasis onBugs!
There were spiders and webs all over the cabin and seen roaches on the walls and bed bugs. The cabin was not clean. My wife stayed in the car the first night. We went the next morning to Aunt Bugs and explained this was not acceptable and they said they would have the bugs sprayed. We did not want to stay in a place that had just been fumugated and the desk person said they didnt thing it would be safe going and checking it out once sprayed. They refused to give us a refund so we had to go back home. The sad thing is that this was our first time to Gatlinburg or the Smokey Mountains and didn't get to see it. If you look at the pictures on VRBO the cabin looks very nice but the advertising is not accurate. DO NOT RENT FROM AUNT BUGS!
