Wonderful!

My husband and I and our 3 kids had the most wonderful time. The home was clean and the view of the smoky mountains was breathtaking! We don't like to eat out as if it more relaxing with 3 kids to cook what they like and the kitchen was well-equipped. Each room had a TV so our boys could watch what they wanted. Dollywood was fantastic as well.

Awesome layout and spaciousness

The place has a beautiful layout! It is very outdated. I can envision a quick easy makeover (floor, furniture and wall decor) that would make a huge difference. The place needs a deep deep clean. The reviews referenced the turn in the drive. Yep, its sharp and hidden. At night I missed it and turned around at a gate past the drive. I came in from the opposite direction which made a huge difference. We loved the place and had a great stay, there is such great potential for this conveniently located cabin. Check in was a breeze.

Would not recommend!

I picked this property due to its proximity to Dollywood. It was very easy to get to and from the park. Unfortunately that is where the good ends. This cabin was neglected and dirty. The first impression walking in was trash in the floor around the washer and dryer and cob webs covering the water heater. Every towel we pulled out was dingy and stained. There were dirty hand marks on the walls. Dust was caked into the bathroom vents. All of the baseboards were dirty and there were cobwebs on the walls and ceilings. There was food debris that had dripped or splattered on the wall beside the kitchen trash can. I don’t know where a cleaning fee is used, but it is certainly not being used to clean the property.

Never again!

Driveway a little difficult depending on your vehicle. Would advise having the outside flood lights left on for late night guests. The driveway is narrow and has no indication of drop off. Top side has markings. The house needs some serious maintenance. The floors are not level and sinking in areas. Master shower feels like you are sinking into the floor from back to front of the shower. Everything is dated and needs TLC. The bath linens need to be at lease Walmart quality. A coffee pot that uses k-cups. Bath soap and Kleenex in the bath rooms, Was not worth what we paid. My friends and I travel frequently and use private lodging. We all live in Tennessee and are use to hillside lodging. I’m sorry that I need to be critical of this property as the host provided us with great details of directions, entrance instructions and follow up. Never again!

Cabin was clean, beds were comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. The only negative is the drive up to the cabin. It is a very sharp turn, and larger vehicles may have difficulty navigating the turn. Other than that, our stay was fine.

It was a decent cabin but needs serious updates. Lots of rotten wood on exterior, gaps in doors so stinkbugs were all over inside. Dishwasher was broken and most of the dishes in the cabinet were not clean. Kitchen drawer broken. Loud and annoying bang under the cabin every time the water was used and continued 15 minutes after turned off or toilet flushed. Dvd cables were old so tv hummed so loud when plugged in you couldn’t watch movies. No batteries in remotes except one so we had to swap them. No hairdryer was there like the listing said so we had to go purchase one. Surface updates have been done only and it shows. Was decent but wouldn’t stay there again. Plus was the location being so close to Dollywood and hiking.

Cabin was fairly clean and as described in the listing. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Water was hot and we never ran out even with 4 adults showering plus a toddler taking a bath. View from the deck is prettier than the pictures show. Host is very easy to get in contact with and helpful. I would not recommend taking a full size truck or large suv, the sharp turn into the driveway was difficult with our medium sized truck and it is hard to turn around to drive back down the driveway. Location was easy to find and easy to get to the main drag from.

BEWARE!!

PROPERTY MANAGER IS A SCAMMER!! We arrived at the property and couldn't get in. I had to call the property manager in order to even get in. Upon arrival we noticed bird poop and feathers, an unusual amount of dust, and general uncleanliness throughout the unit. Everything felt a little damp and The smell of mold was unreal. There were TVs in each of the bedrooms and in the living room, but no working remotes to be found. We had to download apps on our phone to get the TVs to work. Upon leaving, the property manager tried to place my family at fault for damage to the property that we 100% were not responsible for. They said because we had a dog it had to be us but the dog that we had was a puppy that was not even 2 lb and was un-capable of doing the kind of damage they were accusing us of. Rather than listening to reason, and the photos provided even proved that that damage was older than us being there because there was paint inside the damage like somebody had tried to paint over it prior to us arriving, The property manager after we left without my consent. I filed a dispute with my bank for the charges because he didn't even bother providing a receipt of what was bought or what was done or what was charged for. He charged us retroactively for the dog which I completely understood and was willing to accept, until he started charging us additionally for damage that my family did not do. He then rated us as terrible guests even though I provided proof.

When looked place up on VRBO it was cheaper than the $100 credit I received. I feel I should have gotten at least a $200 credit. Was not worth what I paid for it.
