We were initially locked out and the host would not respond despite us getting there right around the check-in time. Once we finally got in the AC barely worked and the unit was not the cleanest. It was an okay area. The best part was seeing a bear outside.

Upon arriving at the location the bed sheets in one room was still uncleaned, spaces unswept, and random dirty towels left behind (likely by former guests) in a closet. Communication could be improved on. The host took hours to reply to then have us pivot and connect with someone local (which is appreciated that that person existed-but that person also took equally as long to get back to us). Outside of the start being really rocky the rest of the trip was okay. Never received a cleaning refund (since we cleaned ourselves) but it was a kind thought. Space was exactly what it described space wise. And that was perfect for what we were needing!

Very convenient to down town. I was disappointed in bedroom #3. By the description, I thought it had a futon and queen bed in it. This complicated our sleeping arrangements due to privacy issues. Didn't like using the living room as a bedroom.

So nice!

Excellent place to stay! Wish it was closer to the strip of Gatlinburg so you didn’t have to drive to walk but overall very nice place. We enjoyed our stay!

Our stay was pleasant and the hosts were good with communication. There was no significant issue with our stay, the place itself is nice. My one piece of feedback would be cleanliness. The floors were visibly dirty with dirt and hair, some of the towels had stains on them, and some of the bed sheets had stains on them. I understand they have a cleaning service that takes care of their cleaning, but I would recommend double checking their work because I did not feel “clean” during our stay.

Great little condo!

We staying for a night while passing through Gatlinburg. Condo was very nice, the only issue we had was actually finding the unit, it is in the multistory building in the back of the property. Everything was clean and well stocked.

Wonderful Gatlinburg Condo

This place has a great location, about a 5-8 minute walk to downtown! This property was very nice, and recently updated. Very comfy beds as well. The only downfall was the lack of hot water, after 1 person showering it was pretty cold. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay and would stay here again! :)

Review of stay

The faucets were all loose on every sink, the air conditioning unit was extremely loud as it turned on and off throughout the night. One of the kitchen chairs was broken (the back was not supported) and the main room (kitchen living room) was extremely dark (several light bulbs were burned out).The accommodations were OK, but not fantastic.
