A little disappointed

Pros: The area was perfect, secluded yet not too far from Gatlinburg. The Mill was the perfect size for two people with plenty of space. The bathroom was big enough for two people to occupy at the same time. Bedroom was huge with seating and plenty of storage. Kitchen was well stocked with almost everything you'd need for cooking. Decks were spacious and quite soothing with the steam running underneath you. Cons: You have to love the smell of a fire if your going to stay there because the fireplace smell was overwhelming inside. The shower is very spacious but a handheld shower head would have been better for woman. The bed was very firm if that's what you like.The hot tub jets were rusty and did not function so we opted not to use it. When we arrived, the ac wasn't working properly. Notified owners and they offered to send out handyman. We declined because it was cool enough outside to open the doors and sleep comfortably. Two days later temps rose and ac unit completely failed. Handyman came out, said it was not an easy fix and stated the owner would contact us shortly and probably find us another place to stay. So we spent the afternoon packing up. Owner contacted us 3 hours later stating that someone would be there in an hour to set up portable ac. Temps upstairs never got below 71 so pretty uncomfortable for sleeping. Owner apologized and gave us a 50 refund, it should have been atleast a full nights refund. We will not be using them anymore. them again. Loved the

Love the location of this property. Perfect for adult couple. However, if the temperature outside is cold bring warm clothes, it does get cold without a fire. Could use some updates, but we definitely enjoyed our stay. Rented through VRBO.

Me and my husband spent our honeymoon here. It was a beautiful and cute little cabin on the water. Very peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed our mornings on the balcony, drinking coffee, listening to the water. Fireplaces in the bedroom and downstairs were nice as well.

We really enjoyed our stay. We loved the pond fishing and the sound of the river was so soothing. I would stay there again 100%! I just wish that we could have had access to the river from the cabin side. Wonderful host and comfy cabin to relieve stress! Overall we really loved it!

Great Cabin!!: private, creekside with pond & about 20 minute drive to downtown Gatlinburg

This cabin was exactly what we were looking for to stay on our trip! It was clean and tidy, and it had all the bathroom and kitchen extras a person could need. We enjoyed the creek off the back porches, and my husband loved fishing in the pond. Bug repellent candles were even provided for the porches. Things of note: It is about a 20 minute drive to Downtown Gatlinburg. You cannot walk to Downtown Gatlinburg from this cabin. We were fine with this though because we wanted a more private cabin. Regarding the fishing - we didn’t see many fish in the creek. My husband thought it was maybe too shallow; however, there are plenty of rocks to jump around on and the creek is loads of fun to play in! The private pond had plenty of fish. My husband caught blue gill and attempted to catch the elusive bass fish he kept seeing. The fish seemed to bite more when using live bait - we got night crawler worms from a general store up the road. The coffee machine takes ground coffee and a filter - it is not a k-cup. The cabin does have a smell, but it’s just the smell of an old cabin. I don’t think it’s a musty or dusty smell, just an old home smell. I don’t know how to explain it. It didn’t bother us (and I have horrible allergies) but we both described it as an old home smell upon entering the cabin. There was also a hint of a fireplace smoke smell, but we expected that with the two wood burning fireplaces. Finally, there is no washer or dryer in the cabin. We had a blast!

Great time

The mill is so quiet and peaceful after being with all the folks downtown. It’s the perfect place to relax. My husband did not bring his fishing pole but we did see fish in the pond. So bonus for all you fisher folk. Thanks for a great stay!

We stayed for a week for our one year wedding anniversary and had a great time. It was nice to drink our coffee by the creek and listen to nature. Very relaxing. The host was very responsive to any questions and was a great resource. Would definitely stay again!

Not what was advertised!!

First off,when we pulled up we knew that everything that was described was not in walking distance. You will have to drive to where down town u want to go. The cabin was filthy with dust everywhere and dead flys and bugs all in the window seals. There is no fishing in the stream. Not deep enough and pond is there to waste ur time casting the renters offered to come in and reclean unit ! Why wasn’t it clean when we got there. The hot tub was stain and smelled. It didn’t have any chemicals in float. Dirty ashtray full still on table. Shower stall had mole built up. Vent fan was knocking and toaster was full of old bread crumbs. Who doesn’t check up on their cleaning crew. We asked for a prorated refund and was told that I had to wait and see if unit got booked before I could see if I got any back. I think the cleaning crew owes for the days I left. Go somewhere else!!

Relaxing getaway

My husband and I traveled down for a quick getaway to relax before the craziness of summer starts. It was a cute, clean cabin perfect for what we wanted. The sound of the stream behind us was very calming. We spent most of our time reading and soaking up the quiet. We will definitely be back. For being close to the main road, it was quiet and peaceful. The perfect place to unwind and catch up on some reading!

Absolutely beautiful

Lindsey Mill is the most unique place we have ever stayed. Very cozy and cute and it has all the little things. We were blessed with alot of snow and freezing temperatures. It was magically. The hosts were so kind and checked in on us and even helped us find open roads to get out. We will be back to see it in the spring.

Great atmosphere abd location.

We stayed 3 nights in this delightful cabin. The cabin was cozy and felt like home. The little stream running by was a nice touch. Everything was as advertized. The fireplaces were really nice and made the experience even better. Everything worked and the host commujicated with us at light speed. Definitely 5 stars.

Delightful stay and Lindsey Mill

Perfect getaway spot for couples who don’t want to be in the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg. The hot tub over the creek was perfect and we enjoyed seeing bears cross the creek from the safety and comfort of the hot tub - it was about a 7-10 minute drive to the local grocery store (Food City) and about 15 into town. Very clean and welcoming!

Not what it says

Many things that a prospective renter should know are not included in this listing. First what’s good. The owner responded very quickly to issues that had to do with safety and our health and those issues were reduced but not mitigated. The cabin was decorated perfectly. The bed and bedding was comfortable. Now for the rest. First. The owner sent me a direct communication through VRBO asking me to not put any negative information about their property online in a public forum, instead I was and did report those issues only in a no public manner. I felt I was being asked to be dishonest. The listing is NOT where the map shows it to be. We didn’t find this out until we went searching for the property. It’s wS 12 miles away from where the map shows it to be. Next, we had to leave the property a day early due to smoke smell that could it get mitigated. They tried but it was not safe to stay. Next, the property is not as isolated as the pictures make it seem. There is one more major issue but the owner needs to reveal this on the listing as anyone expecting to get a good night’s sleep would want to know about this.

Peaceful getaway

This property was pretty much as described in the listing. You can hear traffic from the road. The babbling creek is great! Owners were pleasant,very easy to get in touch with, accommodating. Cabin was clean, kitchen was supplied well with dishes, utensils, baking items. The downstairs is chilly even with fire as noted by others as well. If you are short note the bed is VERY VERY high! We used the steps from the hot tub for me, that was not fun trying to get out in the middle of the night … it is comfy though.
