This property was amazing!! Very cute and cozy cabin. Perfect for our several day get-away. This cabin was by far one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed. 5 stars for cleanliness!! Very easy booking, check-in, and check-out process. The hosts were incredibly helpful and we received an almost instant response when communicating. They were kind enough to bring us a water hose to hose down our bikes after biking at Tsali. Comfortable couch and beds! We look forward to staying here again in the future!!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The property was located in the area where we wanted to be (close to the Smokemont campground), and was as clean as you would expect a pet-friendly rental to be (we did not bring pets, but knew that since it had housed pets, there would likely be a smell). We loved that there was a washer/dryer and ample towels. We were disappointed that the second "bed" was not a mattress, but rather a mattress-topper laid on the floor of a loft. The cabin would also benefit from a dehumidifier, since there is no central air, but just mini-split units in the wall. It was quite damp and sticky inside the cabin. Accessing the cabin was easy, and there are no crazy steep hills to get on and off the property. The communication from the property owner/manager was a bit excessive... we felt like we were being spammed with the number of communications (several per week) leading up to and after check-in. All in all, I wouldn't stay here again if we had another option, however for a last-minute booking on a fall weekend in the Smokies, it was sufficient.

Thank you for your feedback. We'd like to clarify a few things for future guests. The loft does have a queen mattress, as advertised, and is described as best suited for children. After your departure, we discovered the dryer vent had come loose, which explains the excess humidity. This has since been corrected. We wish you'd mentioned the issue during your stay so we could have addressed it immediately. Our guest messages are intended to provide helpful arrival information, check-in details, and answers to common questions so guests can enjoy a smooth stay. We're sorry you found them excessive. We appreciate you staying with us and wish you well in your future travels.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It sounds like your grandkids made some unforgettable memories, from sleeping in the loft to chasing fireflies and enjoying s'mores by the fire pit. Those are the moments we hope every family takes home with them! We're so glad you enjoyed your time in Cherokee as well, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another stay!

The cabin was perfect. Had everything we needed. Plenty of space for our week away, just the hubby and me. The ONLY thing that wasn't ideal, for us, was the driveway down to the cabin. It is very narrow, gravel and steep. If you are pulling a trailer/bringing motorcycles you may want to consider that. But we made it work! Otherwise, we had no complaints and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hosts and their property manager were great!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Lazy Daze and found the cabin comfortable and well-equipped for your getaway. We're also happy we could offer multiple parking options for your trailer to make your stay easier. While Lazy Daze is one of our easiest cabins to access with no steep mountain roads, we understand that everyone's comfort level with gravel driveways is different. We're thrilled it all worked out, and we'd love to welcome you back to Lazy Daze for another relaxing stay!

The cabin and property was awsome. Really enjoyed sitting outside and hearing all the birds. Only negative I have and really hate to say anything, but there was a lot of black hair all over the bathroom, kinda had to wonder about cleanliness it was even on the curtains. But we would definitely use sgain if we came that way. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for your review and for staying with us. We’re so glad you enjoyed the cabin, property, and peaceful outdoor setting. We also appreciate you mentioning the hair issue in the bathroom. We take cleanliness very seriously, especially in our pet-friendly cabins, and this is not the standard we aim for. We will be addressing this with our cleaning team. Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we’d love the opportunity to host you again in the future.
