Beautiful views but room for improvement
This cabin is beautiful, secluded, has breathtaking views, and we saw bears right off the back porch every day. The cabin was clean, the kitchen was well equipped, bed rooms and bathrooms are very spacious and there were plenty of towels, washcloths, toilet paper, hand soap, dishwasher pods, and dishwashing liquid soap provided. The bedspreads are thin so if you get cold easily or like extra blankets you will need to bring them. I strongly suggest not sleeping on the futon because it makes very loud popping and cracking noises every time you move. The fireplace didn’t work, the hot tub was cold and smelled bad. When I reported the issues, I was asked to check the wires and connections on the hot tub to make sure nothing was loose. I don’t know anything about electric and didn’t feel like I should’ve been asked to do that. To say I was taken aback is an understatement. The controls for the fireplace pilot light were attached to the insert but I couldn’t get to them because the screen had been screwed into the wood around the insert. When maintenance came the following day, he got the hot tub to warm up but did nothing for the smell and said he couldn’t get the fireplace pilot light to stay lit so we didn’t get to use that either. I saw several reviews complaining about parking. We have a full sized 4 door truck and a minivan and we didn’t have any issues. We’ve rented cabins in Pigeon Forge through various companies for many years and I’ve never felt the need to leave a negative review but I don’t want others to be disappointed. You should also know the drive to the Parkway takes about 30 minutes. We didn’t mind but others might.
