Weekend vacation

The location is great, close to Gatlinburg and a short drive to Pigeon Forge. We got to see Bears around the house which was nice. Plenty of space inside, not a lot of space outside other than the wrap around deck.

Vacation to Gatlinburg

Stayed for three nights. The property was as described, very clean and in a quiet location. Coming from Florida, we had to get used to the hilly roads but nothing to challenging. It was great to have televisions that worked in every room and the wireless internet was good as well. We would definitely stay there again.

Our stay

The place was nice but they need to be a little more specific about driveway. We had a 15 passenger van and the street was very steep. Also they gave us only 4 towels in each restroom for the 4 nights we stayed and 1 roll of tp in each bathroom. And it’s 8 of us staying there. I chose this place to wash our clothes as well from being on vacation for a week so it was perfect to wash clothes and the washer wouldn’t work. So there went that. Also the toaster did not work like it should it would burn the bread all the time no matter what number we changed it to. There was also no sheets for the pull out sofas. It was just not what we were expecting.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Nov, 2023
Thanks for the review Valerie! Yes, mountain roads can be steep and narrow in areas and a 15-person van may be difficult for guests not used to driving these roads. That is why we allowed you to park at our property next door during your stay to make it convenient for you. Our cleaners typically always leave 3 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom but if they did forget our office is less than two miles away from the cabin and we would have happily brought you more. We wish you would have called the office for any requests like extra towels/sheets. Per your request to wait until you left to check the washing machine, we did not find that it wasn't working nor did the following guest have issues, but we do apologize for any inconvenience for any issue during your stay.
