Wonderful Potential, Needs a Little Work
The home has a lot of potential. The location is perfectly situated in the mountains between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The view was amazing from the large back deck. The wall of windows along the living room and master bedroom were perfect to enjoy the view from inside of the home as well. The home is spacious with a lot of storage space for your personal items. The beds are comfortable. However, it is past due for a deep clean. Everything from eye level and below looked surface area clean. Several areas above eye level had layers of dust/grime, especially over the fire place. The HVAC fan quit working while we were there so the inside temperature got quite warm as the temperature went up. My husband has worked HVAC for over 25 years, so he inspected the unit to see if he could diagnose the problem. He was alarmed at how the unit had been hotwired. He described it in two words. Fire Hazard. Ironically, the battery to the smoke detector was dead so we had to unplug it while we were there. The lower water distributing arm to the dishwasher was missing so most of the dishes don't get clean. That would not have a big deal except I didn't run the dishwasher until the night before we were due to check out. I am not above old school hand-washing. However, hand washing a ton of dishes that didn't get clean the morning we are checking out made it more of an inconvenience. We still enjoyed ourselves and the location and view were beautiful as promised.
