Overall 3

I rated overall 3 due to house being beautiful with an amazing view. Bears were amazing to see everyday! As we are a big family it was accommodating for us all. The issue was we were charged for a pool stick that was already broken upon an our arrival. Second was the AC not working in the bedroom three. All week it was super uncomfortable to even be in there. After maintenance was called out the issue wasn’t fixed, it was still super hot in there. Downstairs sink was clogging up.

Pretty good

I would have giving it 5 start on everything but the door knobs were not good in many doors. The had 2 stoves, 3 microwave, but one fridge?? For such a large home. But the one that bug us the most was the shower water pressure was horrible it would come and go instantly specially when you had to rinse shampoo from hair. Water pressure was very bad. Also it would nice the theater had a surround sound, the sound was disappointing.

Beautiful Cabin

We loved this place! The location is very private, near the top of the mountain, with beautiful views. We'll definitely book again the next time we're in Gatlinburg.

Great Cabin for Family

This cabin is perfect for a large family vacationing in the Gatlinburg area. I can't thank the booking team enough for helping at the last minute. We were staying in another cabin nearby that was NOT what was advertised online. The final straw was when the air conditining stopped working. Thankfully the team managing this cabin worked quickly so we were able to move to it within the day. Thank you! The cabin is at the end of a street so it is quiet, although it may be difficult to reach in winter if there is snow/ice on the streets. Since it is the last cabin, we saw lots of wildlife right outside our door - including multiple black bears with their cubs! The cabin was clean and well maintained. Would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Family Get Away

Only complaint was the hot tub was dirty and the trash was full. Had to have the hot tub drained, cleaned, and refilled.

TOO many bugs!

Number of rooms for large group very adequate. However, crawling millipeds were literally everywhere morning, noon and night. We swept and stepped on thousands and more were always found on floors, walls, bathtubs. Shoes had to be worn at all times for all of us! Something like this impacts the comfort of everyone. Certainly being in the woods , critters are always expected but this went WAY beyond as the floors on all three levels were always covered in the morning , during the day and especially at night. Spent way too much time sweeping up these in order to walk in the cabin. IN addition, we arrived at the appointed check in time of 4 and found the cabin being cleaned with trash everywhere, bed quilts and pillows on the floors (covered with bugs) none of the bathrooms clean, refrigerator was dirty and was told when we contacted Cabins for You...that "it was guarranted by 6pm" but that was no where in our confirmation. And this was our first family vacation....
