Several jets in the hot tub did not work and it was not private, neighbors could clearly see us. Half the jets in the inside tub did not work. Back deck was slick bc of a moss build-up. Trash laying around the property. Shower very slick. Nowhere to hang wet towels. Cabin was fairly clean but in desperate need of upgrades and maintenance. Will not stay here again honestly. Did reach out to the host but have yet to hear back.

Weekend Getaway

This was a perfect spot for a much needed quick getaway. Only “bummer” is that pictures don’t make it clear that the hot tub is in the front and right on the road/open view to the other cabins. Only other recommendation would be for more towels. Only 3 were provided and between the hot tub and regular bathing we quickly were re-using the same damp towels. Would definitely stay again.

Very Relaxing

Cabin was very easy to find, clean (a little musty smell, so if you're sensitive to that, take some candles or humidifier) and relaxing. Communication was great as they were very responsive. Check-in and Checkout was super easy. We would definitely stay with them again. Recommend highly.

Great location!

We were there for a wrestling tournament at the sports center so it was perfect. It was very cozy and the perfect size for the 2 of us. The fireplace being gas was a bonus. It has a small but very nice kitchen & the bath was a good size. It was so nice and quiet I slept like a baby!

Cozy Cabin

The cabin was very clean on the inside and very comfortable. Unfortunately, the indoor hot tub did not work, but we were able to use the hot tub on the deck, which was really nice! We did not expect to have to clean our own dishes and take out the trash, in addition to paying a cleaning fee. Overall, we had a great experience staying in the cabin!

Mountain getaway

Overall was a great stay. Cabin could use some updating. Hot tub was good but could need updated as jets were not that powerful. Hot tub is on street side and has direct view of neighboring cabin. Lots of steps to get into cabin so be ready for that if you have lots of things to bring in. W spent most of our time In Gatlinburg and location was pretty close to downtown. We were always able to find parking.

Just really seemed it could be a little clearer, ruff vinyl in the bathroom, some cob webs, more pans and dishes, more kitchen towels dish cloths, lots of steps up and to the cabin, need new boards for the steps and railing, front and back decks need power washing, electric grill needs replacing, all and all we had a nice stay,

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very clean and compact cabin, good for a short visit. Only draw back is steps leading to entrance are long. Would not recommend to anyone who has problems climbing steps. Would be helpful to list this in description of property.

Disappointed Their was a damp, musty odor in the cabin that did not go away, there was not a view to admire. The property needed some TLC. The interior of the cabin needed to be updated. :(
