Downtown Dolly exactly as described

We had a great visit at the Downtown Dolly. Everything was as described, shown and expected. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to prepare meals. The beds are comfortable, the showers are hot, the air conditioning works good - there’s 2 units so the house stays nice and cool. The outside area is nice and most importantly you are within walking distance of Gatlinburg Parkway which is very nice - no having to find and pay for parking. If I had to make a suggestion of anything I would change - it would be the grill- a charcoal grill is fine but the grate needs to be on a hinge so it will swing out of the way so you can stack your briquettes easier and not have to contend with the grate being in the way.

Beware its ran by Agency - Must provide copy of drivers license

I would not rent from them again mostly because they require a copy of your drivers license. Sorry but I don't really trust a small rental agency to keep my drivers license information secure. They will also blow you up with texts and emails. I stayed for 3 days and got 7 texts and 6 emails from them so far. The house itself was fine and had no problems at all with it.

Wonderful Location with Everything We Needed

This property was the perfect size for our family outing, with 2 large, comfortable beds. The kitchen was well-appointed and updated. The home was clean and well-laid out. The hot tub, porch (with rocking chairs), and creekside fire pit were nice bonuses. The location was great, walkable to the east end of downtown. Access to the park was good, despite the downtown traffic. Communication with the property manager was very good, although we had no problems that required their attention. Overall, it was exactly what we were looking for. We had a wonderful time!

Great time in Great Smokies

Downtown Dolly was perfect for our family of 5 - 2 adults, 3 kids (ages 10-15). It is close enough to walk down to Gatlinburg(10min walk there, all uphill on way back so check out the free trolley schedule too) and a close drive to the Great Smoky National Park entrance. The GS NP exit via Roaring Fork Motor Road is actually a few blocks from the house! Although right off the main road, it is still tucked away and quiet. It's very clean and appliances/supplies were exactly as described. Hot tub and patio/firepit are a nice relaxing bonus especially after hikes. Communication via the RedDoor links was super easy.

Perfect home away from home

My husband and I stayed here for a week to celebrate our 10 year anniversary while visiting Gatlinburg. It was absolutely perfect. Everything was clean and felt nice. Check in process was very simple as was check out. It’s close to downtown but still far enough to feel like you’re away from all the hustle and bustle. We would absolutely love to stay here when we decide to visit the area again.
