We wanted to love our little vacay stay, but there were a few things that made it a little difficult to. The fireplace- We turned on the gas fireplace to help with heating the cabin. The STRONG smell of propane filled the cabin so badly that we couldn't use it at all during our stay. This was a big factor in choosing the cabin we did. The main level shower head is nothing more than a trickle of water to bathe in. The main level toilet, that was not clogged, never wanted to flush correctly. We have stayed in many places over the years, and I've never seen the kitchen cookware and cabinets in such a way. Honestly, just didnt feel the most sanitary. I am so sorry, but just being honest.
This place is not as you would expect. It is definitely not worth the price. The housekeeping was awful. The cabin was not clean. Dust on dining chairs and under sofa's. Bathroom toilets had a black ring in the bowl. Not enough towels for a 4-night stay.2 dining room chairs were broken. The hot tub did not work as the owner said it did. The water temperature did not go above 50 degrees. The jets were not powerful at all. There was dirt at the bottom of the hot tub. This place was so disappointing for the price that we paid. and that it was rated excellent.
Pros: very spacious cabin & remarkable views Cons: Needed a deep clean & HVAC inspection. main bathroom has little to no water pressure. We all had to share the downstairs shower and toilet. All toilets struggled to flush. The steep driveway is disclosed by the owner, but it's very, very steep. We had to park by the road.
The cabin was very cozy, the three bedrooms were clean and well stocked. The deck area has good views. The check in and checkout process was smooth. The drive and the parking were a little challenging due to the slope. We had seniors who struggled to walk up and down the steep drive way.
Beautiful view;relatively clean though some areas cluttered-virtually no kitchen counter space(partially due to excess/broken appliances); fireplace not functional til last p.m.; broken rockers on porches; water leak from 2nd to ist floor; very little light in kitchen; main floor shower has has no interior door handle and very low h2o pressure; sink in same bath barely drains; no extra sheets or towels; HVAC very inefficient; no icemaker in frig (no big deal but no ice trays). Many of these are relatively small details but, combined, affected the comfort and enjoyment of the stay. Also, the fireplace and rockers were specifically mentioned as amenities. Rather poor communication from host. Wanted US to try to light pilot light in fireplace. Then, when she had it done while we were gone, she didnt bother to tell us. Found by accident. We believe the management company is not not doing its job, but the owner is ultimately responsible.
The drive way is super steep so it was a little scary lol the cabin was super clean and cozy and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The hot tub did have a leak but we never had any issues with it at all. Got hot and the jets worked just fine. Lots of room for the 5 of us. There were extra blankets and pillows which was very handy as the nights and mornings were a little chilly. It was such a quiet and peaceful stay. My only one complaint would be the water pressure was really low. But other than that everything was perfect.
Loved the place and beautiful views the driveway made us all alittle nervous as it was steep and didn't look like the pictures. There are a few boards on the deck that need replaced and the rail tightened up it made me very nervous with my kids around it as it was shaky and didn't seem sturdy.
1st of all the view was definitely worth it. We loved sitting on the deck in the mornings, having a cup of coffee and enjoying the view. Overall the cabin was very nice. We had a few items that needed addressed, but we addressed them with the owner. Beds were very comfortable. There was plenty of entertainment for the kids (pool table, video arcade unit, hot tub). A lot of reviews mention the driveway. Yes the driveway is steep, but we backed down everyday (mostly with wet pavement) and never had a problem. 1 of our guest has mobility issues and had no problem getting out of the vehicle and into the cabin. I personally would stay again and would recommend this cabin.
Great property and prime location to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Only 2 negatives were the water pressure in the shower on the main level. Would probably fix itself with a different shower head and the main living area/loft area gets really warm during the day because of the sun coming in through the top window. Otherwise, fantastic place.
It was a nice cabin. It's just there was absolutely no water pressure in the master bathroom shower. You couldn't adjust the temperature of the hot tub. It automatically set to 104. Which was way too hot. There was poison ivy on the decks. You set the thermostat for the cabin, and the lower level was like a walkin freezer, the middle floor was comfortable, and the upper floor was hot. The Pac-man video game wouldn't work most of the time. The beds were way too high. The bathrooms aren't made for big people. This cabin definitely isn't for handicap people or people over 60.
My family and I loved this cabin. The views are awesome and we liked watching the zip line coming from the mountain across the valley. The cabin was so clean and property management was fast to respond to our questions. The driveway is steep but once you park a couple times is not that bad. The only downfall was the water pressure in the master shower was a bit low but you were still able to shower. Great location and we will stay again if we return.
