The cabin was great. I liked that the hot tub was enclosed from critters (bears). I put 4 stars for family friendly because the stairs can be a little scary for children and dogs. My child was fine but the dog wouldn't go up or down. We had to carry her, lol. Could use a couple plastic plates and cups for children. The host was great. Very quick to respond to any questions and very friendly. No one wanted to leave. We had a very comfortable stay.
We loved the area, within 15-20 minutes of everything we wanted to do. The cabin was great, expecially the master bedroom with that nice jacuzzi tub. Cant wait to come back!
We arrived around 6pm and were able to enter easily, the cabin was very nice but very far in the hills on winding roads. It was fairly clean but dusty; bedrooms were pretty clean but the bed in the upstairs bedroom felt as if the sheets had grit in the sheets and the people could not sleep on the sheets so they slept on top of the bed covers. It could have bern a better experience if they would have at least provided some condiments like salt and pepper. Those are items some forget to bring with them. We cleaned the floors before leaving and I must say they were very dusty because we swept up alot of dirt and dust from them and we did not run in and out of the house much at all during our stay and we were all adults. I was pretty disappointed in the cleanliness of the cabin for the price i had to pay for the 3 nights i stayed there.
The cabin was exactly what we needed with 3 adults and 4 children but it was not well equipped for a toddler. The doors dont latch you have to lock them to get them to shut because they are a sheet of plywood/siding. The door on the basement stairs had a spring on it so when the toddler was standing in the door way it could spring back and hit him down the stairs. No plug in the main floor bathtub so we had to go upstairs for bath time for 4 kids. Only 1 out of 3 lights in the kitchen worked so it was always dim. There was a band-aid as a door stopper very cheap. We were glad to be able to stay in a big cabin like this but lots of little problems that are really not expensive to fix. Just not on top of the owners priority list.
The property was in overall good condition. We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the tranquility of being away from the hustle and bustle of town at the end of each day.
We had minor issues, but the host took care of them, even supplying a new gas grill when the original didn't work. The host was very apologetic for the issues and took care of them. I especially enjoyed the pool table and cleanliness. We would stay here again if we need three bedrooms.
The cabin was very clean and well-stocked making our stay very comfortable. Kitchen had a crockpot, baking pans, casserole dishes, measuring spoons/cups, and both a regular drip coffee maker and pod maker. Our entire family had fun playing air hockey (children ages 6-13/adults 40-60.) There was plenty of space for our group of 7- four adults and three children. The beds were comfortable (not luxury but comfortable.) Extra blankets and pillows in closets of all rooms.
We enjoyed the time away. The cabin was perfect in a great location and more than enough room for all of us. I absolutely loved the check in and checkout instructions, very simple and easy.
Our stay was fabulous with the exception of two things. The first was the Internet. We couldn't get a signal 99.99 percent of the time. That was worrisome just due to checking in with family. The other thing was downstairs the bathroom door had two screws sticking out where the hinge was put in. They need to be cut off because I caught my arm on it and tore my skin off. It is still not healed today. Those were the only things we saw and other than that it was excellent. We will definitely do this again and will use the same cabin when on a Pigeon Forge/Sevierville trip. I would recommend this cabin to everyone.
My family and myself had a pleasant stay. Cabin was as described and clean, especially for a pet-friendly stay. Check-in and check-out was super easy.
There were plenty of towels and enough supplies to get you started. I always pack extra and the only thing we had to use of our own was wash-cloths (there were 9 of us for a total of 4 days) so I considered that a big win.
There are no outlets in the downstairs half bath, so if you are going with multiple families, you will have to share spaces when getting ready, which wasnât an issue at all for us, but does make it a little inconvenient for those staying on the bottom floor.
There was only one working TV, which was on the bottom floor. Although we didnât watch much TV, it would have been nice to have a working TV in the living room/dining area for the adults to lounge separately. There were 3 total remotes and none would operate any of the devices.
I did only reach out once to the host regarding an early check-in about a week prior to arriving at the property and did not hear back. I did only try through the VRBO chat because that is what was linked for contact. I 100% did NOT expect to be able to have an early check-in, however, I wouldâve been willing to have paid extra or even booked an extra night if it would have been available. Hearing back either way would have been nice.
Overall, I would for sure recommend this property and hope to stay again! Location and property in general was a great bang for your buck.
