Relaxing Home-away-from-home Gem

Perfect little creek-side nook within walking distance to everything, but far enough away to feel remote. Window seat was one of our favorite spots to lie on and listen to the rushing creek. Decor was perfect and homey and the bible verse signs meant so much to us- a reminder of God’s love and beauty! Will definitely return!

Cute Cabin, but…

Cabin was great, adorable style choices and cozy for any couple. Outdoors was a whole other story. Tree fell in back yard, essentially taking up the whole area between house and river. Sweet gum balls everywhere causing turned ankles a couple of times until we just gave up on enjoying the river and the beautiful weather. Messaged Cabins for You but got no response at all. Very disappointed as being outside is important to me and as pricy as the cabin was it certainly was not worth it.

Would stay there every time.

Easy walking distance to the shops. Close grocery store. Very quite area and feels secluded even with the cabins packed in. Some tile issues in bathroom but did not feel they were as bad as other comments made them seem. We would stay there everytime without hesitation.

Cute cabin

Everything was clean. Hot water was not very good especially in the kitchen and large shower head in the bathroom, it barely got warm. Kitchen hot water was a trickle. We enjoyed everything else

Great location & adorable house

We absolutely loved this place. The only bad things I can say is that the tile on the bathroom floor is cracked pretty badly near the bedroom door & could easily cut someone. Also the toilet seat is loose. Otherwise will definitely stay here again. Absolutely adorable!

Great Honeymoon!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was perfect! It was less than a 10 minute walk to downtown but felt like we were far away. They had an adorable guestbook where everyone wrote their experience and where they went, it really helped us decide what to do! We will be staying here again we loved it!

Terrible, left to go stay in hotel

Not the clean cute cabin that’s pictured, to start off it’s all grown up and algee covered and not unkept on the outside, when you walk in it’s a strong odor of mildew, dirty couch blankets, cobwebs in the windows, the bathroom floor tile is cracked and broken along with the shower being all busted up too. Called mgmt multiple times and no answer, ended up leaving a getting a hotel for our stay. Got a call the next day and it’s just “normal wear and tear”

On the River is awesome!! Entry code didn't work on arrival, called the 800 number and was given an alternate code. Customer service was great. There was only 1/2 roll of TP, but we just bought some 🙂

On the river

The cabin was very cozy. We loved that it was a good distance from town so we couldnt hear the traffic and commotion if the tourism. The shower floor tiles were busted and I had to be really careful where i stepped as not to cut my feet. The cabin was was musty smelling and very very humid (especially in the bedroom due to the hot tub). The bedroom tv kept cutting out- the picture would go away then come back and so would sound not always at the same time. However, overall the experience was wonderful. The cabin was very charming and in a great quiet location close to so many attractions.

Shower tile still broken

The cabin is nicely decorated but needs more light. It is very dark. There are broken tiles on the bathroom floor. The shower floor has multiple broken tiles and the floor is somewhat spongy. DO NOT RENT WITHOUT CONFIRMATION OF SHOWER FLOOR REPAIRS.

Fast waters

Great walkable location. Cozy cabin and private. We enjoyed our stay. Bed was confortable. Tiles in shower coming up off the floor. Problem is being ignored by owner. Many complaints from past guests. For the price i think there should be salt and pepper, and shampoo, conditioner, lotion provided. There was no body soap either. Stove top was difficult to operate because one of the pans was not accepting to stove top. No instructions . We had to google instructions.Hot tub porch was full of cobwebs and dust on chairs.

On the river issues

Shower floor tiles broken to pieces. Needs major repairs. Broken tiles in entry way to bathroom from bedroom. Few spiders and cockroaches. Other than that everything was as pictured. Just needs a lot of upkeep to repair the bathroom. Floor so uneven toilet seat won't stay up to pee without holding it.

Wonder Stay on the River

We loved staying here! It was close enough to walk to town, and the days we were hiking it was a treat to come back to the hot tub. I could have spent our whole trip sitting in the reading nook! The bathroom needs a little refreshing as far as the flooring in the shower; some of the tiles are coming up, but really that was minor. We had an issue with our toilet while were there and the Cabins for You maintenance staff came and repaired the issue in no time while we were mini golfing. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location!

This cabin is in a super great location. Within walking distance of the main strip in Gatlinburg. Large king size bed and large bathroom. The cabin needs some repairs. Broken tiles on the bathroom floor and the shower floor. It was great to use the gas fireplace but it had no screen on it so we were worried our dogs would get burnt. The hottub is very dated but it worked and still kept a very comfortable temp. We were disappointed that none of the windows open in the cabin so we could not get any fresh air. But these are all miner things. In the overall we really loved this cabin and would absolutely stay here again. I can not praise the location enough. And having the water right outside was super nice.

Fantastic stay

I give the cabin(cottage) 5 of 5 stars everything was awesome and as listed. I perfect little getaway. The only thing is the gas fireplace never worked and that may be operator error but there were not instructions specific to that fireplace and I did reach out to the manager to ask but recieved a generic instructions set and could never get it to work. However it was a great location and perfect stay. Thank you and we definitely would love to come back!
