3+Secluded Acres for Dogs & Kids-Off Wears Valley Rd-Close to PF-Hot Tub-Firepit

Oh, I see you have included new, never-before-seen photos just for your review; how dishonest & underhanded of you…your true colors are shining through! Could you not be any more transparent as to what you are? It’s so funny when a scammer thinks they have the perfect-fool-proof-sure-to-get-a-refund creative complaint. What great entertainment! Bravo to these scammers for attempting the most predictable scams in the vacation rental playbook! After 19+ years and 12 properties, I thought I had seen it all. But this one had a different twist: a photo of a foot.. Yep…A FOOT They kicked off their vacation by sending me a beautifully framed portrait of a dirty bare foot sole to insist the floors were "filthy." Wanting to call their bluff, I IMMEDIATELY OFFERED TO SEND SOMEONE TO INSPECT & RECLEAN RIGHT THEN & THERE. SUDDENLY, ABSOLUTE SILENCE. NO REPLY. Nothing until the next day. Why the delay? Because when a host offers immediate proof & a physical inspection of a pristine, freshly cleaned & mopped cabin, a scammer needs time to regroup for their next move. When I saw the bottom of that foot, I just had to know (lol) if that could be accomplished alone….. I went to full Detective Columbo mode & tried to take that exact photo of my own foot. Verdict? Unless your knee joints bend backward and you can hold a camera with your ears, it is anatomically impossible. This was a two-person family conspiracy. All the while I was holding an ace up my sleeve: time-stamped photos & a video, 2 hours before their arrival, showing the floor was still wet & sparkling clean as the housekeeper mopped herself right out the front door. So, I just secretly held to them because I know the pattern of scammers…contacting VRBO will be their next move. You spent your vacation dealing with stress? Oh, no. You spent your vacation auditioning for a free vacation. You had better believe I have the "audacity; to stand my ground & I have absolutely no intention of showing kindness or compassion to people like you, now or ever. Let's clear up my lack of kindness & compassion right now! You clearly got caught red-handed violating the Pet Policy. You claim your dog merely "jumped up on the couch.’ OMG YOU HAVE YOUR PHYSICS IN REVERSE. Your dog was fast asleep, living his best life, napping on my couch, when the housekeeper walked in; he jumped down to greet her. You know, the ACTUAL WAY GRAVITY AND DOG LOGIC WORK. LOL I should have thrown you all out on your keisters right then and there. The absolute crown jewel of your comedy routine is the "damaged Pack ’n Play" that was supposedly "affected by the odor." Is that really the best you can do? After 7+ years of owning this cabin, & somehow this mysterious, phantom smell chose to lie dormant all those many years, only to magically appear exclusively waiting for your arrival. You even claimed a strong gas smell in a fully electric cabin. But hey, thank you for bringing up that phantom smell—you completely played yourself. Your sad sob story that you fled after the first night because of your children’s safety was proven a lie; you were there on day 3... SECURITY CAMERAS DON’T LIE! It’s always hilarious to see the lengths guests will go to for a free vacation. These scammers soon learned I was not buying what they were selling, so they started calling VRBO. One time? OH NO, OVER THE COURSE OF A WEEK, BEGGING FOR MONEY!! The image in my mind of them calling over & over with brand-new lies —while housekeeping's 20+ time-stamped photos and video just sat there waiting to destroy their case—was absolute perfection & priceless. VRBO’s verdict, same as mine--ZERO REFUND to these scammers! Now, what? I revenge review full of lies, of course! Next time you vacation, try saving up for it instead of trying to get a free one on the host's back. Imagine trying to scam a host whose housekeeper always takes time-stamped photos/videos. Only the Big Toe Bandit would try that!! Thanks for the laugh. Well, would you look at that! The Country Lovesong cabin has 169 REVIEWS WITH A 9.4% EXCEPTIONAL RATING

Pamela, you say you were disappointed.... can you imagine how disappointed I was to receive your "book" of complaints? You whined about ice on the freezer door, you whined about a loose doorknob, you whined about how the bathtub drained, you whined about a dripping faucet, you whined about loosened clasps underneath the sink, did you think the sink wasn't attracted to the plumbing & it was going to rise out of that hole & going to go flying across the kitchen? Just what did any of that really have to do with you enjoying your few vacation days? Did you go to the mountains to make an inspection of my property, or to enjoy the wonderful private 3 acres of peacefulness at this cabin that others seem to enjoy? How about this?.....The fact that there are no mountain roads to climb to go to the cabin? That all the roads going there are perfectly flat main roads? That this cabin is so conveniently located to all the activities in Pigeon Forge? That the covered porch allow your dogs to be safe while you enjoyed the hot tub on that porch? And, all the many other amenities that this beautiful cabin offered? You whined about the short gravel road (not a dirt road as you described) that had potholes...yes, potholes happen to every gravel road when there are days & days of hard rains; you would need to talk to God about that. I have no control over a road that I do not own. Maybe I am different, Pamela, but I don't meddle in other folks' business & tell them what is needed & when it needs to be done. That is their business, not mine! BTW....I just left the cabin today, right after you left, and the road has already been repaired & is free of potholes. So, I guess the road crew decided to wait until the rain stopped & not to do the work in the pouring rain, you think? I doubt any business owner would like a customer to come in & start inspecting & tell the owner how to run their business, I CERTAINLY DON’T! Why don’t you try that at the next restaurant you go to, Pamela? Then see how fast you find yourself out on the street. It is called “minding your own business.” Then you whined about the shower curtain. If you had followed my written instructions & notified me, a new shower curtain would have been brought to the cabin & put up for you. Maybe you did not do that because it would have meant one less thing for you to whine about. Next, you whined about my driveway being extremely steep. I dispute that & I have posted pictures of the driveway & the short gravel road for everyone to view & judge for themselves just how bad & steep OR NOT the driveway & the gravel road is! I have been going to this cabin for over 6 years & have never had my tires spin, NOT EVEN ONCE, but I am smart enough to know when climbing even the slightest mountain driveway to use the lowest gear. If you had read the information that I sent you, then you would have known to do that, too. And, I NEVER had to back down the driveway as you claimed you had to do because there is plenty of room to turn around in the parking area. How much room do you need to turn around? I turn around & head straight out of the driveway. If you couldn’t, perhaps it is time for some driving lessons & replacement of your old bald tires. Or, maybe just skip your next vacation & spare the next host your "book" of complaints because I am sure you will find plenty to whine about even if the next place you rent is perfect!
