Our week at Friar’s Fifth

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was very clean. We liked the location and really enjoyed the front porch rocking chairs. The beds were comfortable . Our only suggestion would be better living room furniture. The couch was very uncomfortable. The chairs weren’t much better. The living room tv was too complicated to use.We saw a mother bear and 2 cubs. They tried to get into our suburban but it was locked.

Smoky mountain house

The house was nice and comfortable. The photo didn’t match what the house actually looked like. Other than that great stay :)
