The good first off, Aunt Bug's contacted us early, around 12:30 pm telling us that the cabin was ready. After that, it was all down hill from there. We got unloaded and later went to pull the master bed sheets down. First off, the comforter had what appeared to be a blood stain on it, no additional description needed. We removed it and replaced it with the other comforter off the other bed. When we did this, we noticed the top sheet had various different hairs all over it. We removed this sheet to wash it since the other bed was a smaller queen size. When we opened the washer, it was full of the previous tenants dirty, wet towels. We had no choice but to remove them to wash the sheet. We were finally able to go to bed. The next morning while getting into the only shower, we noticed black mold on the bottom of the inside curtain. That morning we went to Aunt Bug's and complained about the condition of the cabin given that there is a cleaning fee charged and the expectation is that the cabin will be clean. The guy that we spoke to had extra sheets, towels, and a new shower curtain sent out to the cabin. The damage had already been done. We slept a second night on those sheets and decided to change them the third night. Of course, we had to completely strip the bed down to the mattress pad. Waiting for us was another surprise, the mattress pad had an actual blood stain on it in the middle of the bed. Needless to say, we were totally grossed out. We could not understand why the cleaning company (people) would not change this out. Guess that cleanliness is not that important to them. There were more problems with this cabin which included the shower faucet in the main bathroom turning all the way around with no hard stop to turn off the water. At some point the seal will be torn and you won't be able to turn it off. The gas fireplace did not work, it was shut off. We wanted to try it out since it was unseasonably cold, but that wasn't possible. It appeared that there was a problem with it since there was residual smoke damage on the ceilings below and above. One last item, everything in the cabin from the furniture, appliances, fixtures, etc needed to be updated. It was either scratched up, broken down (living room coach), or just plain old and outdated. You have to put money into these things to make sure that they remain appealing. Not sure if it is Aunt Bug's, the owner of this cabin, or VRBO that we will avoid in our next trip to Gatlinburg.
