To ensure your stay is 5-star quality (and for those after you) we ask that our cabin and its contents be respected throughout your visit. Accidents happen, and if they do, please notify us immediately. In the unlikely event that you experience any issues during your stay, we will do everything we can to address them accordingly, as soon as possible, but please remember that you are renting a house so there are no on-site maintenance personnel.
To provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone there are a few house rules that must be adhered to (by confirming your booking you agree to abide by these rules).
#1 - Check-in is after 4pm. We cannot accommodate for any early check-in`s to allow our cleaners ample time to provide you with a thoroughly cleaned and sanitized cabin.
#2 - Check-out is 10am. Our cleaners need time to get the cabin cleaned and ready before the next guests arrive. Please be respectful of our cleaners and vacate the property on time. Any late departures will incur a $100/hr charge.

#5 - Pets are allowed (max 2) with a $300 non-refundable pet fee and with owner discretion. They must leashed when outside of the cabin, at all times. Be courteous and keep our community clean, please pick up after your pet. NO pets allowed on the furniture or beds. There is a pet blanket in the cabinet by the door in the kitchen for your pet to lay on for comfort. Please wash after use for the next guest. There are also food and water bowls in the same cabinet for your use. Pets may not be left unattended in the house at any time. If they are left home alone they must be crated. I appreciate your cooperation with this.
#6 - Absolutely NO Smoking, Vaping, or Drugs of any kind. If you absolutely must smoke please do so outside the cabin and use the ash bucket, or ash receptacle on main deck, provided to keep the property and environment clean. If evidence of smoking is found in the cabin, you will be charged $750.
#7 - There is a camera on the property for your protection. If you touch or tamper with any security devices you will be asked to leave immediately.

Do not use any temporary or permanent hair dye or other dye products in the rental. Evidence of dye will result in a $500 fine or more if damage occurs to sink, floors, carpets, bedding, etc.
#9 - Hot tub - You are responsible for the safety of yourselves and your children. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Children under 16 are not permitted at any time unsupervised by an adult. NO alcohol is permitted in or around the hot tub. DO NOT add any foreign substances (soaps, cleaners, fragrances, etc) to the water. Please shower before entering the hot tub to minimize soaps, oils and detergents that can change the chemical balance of the water. Also shower after exiting the hot tub. Our cleaners drain, sanitize, refill and replenish all chemicals prior to check-in so the water may not be warm until that night. Do not STAND or SIT on the hot tub cover. It is meant to keep the water warm, it can`t support any additional weight. When hot tub is not in use, please keep the cover on and the safety rope secured. Keep the temperature between 100-103 degrees at all times. You will be held responsible for any additional cleanings or damage costs due to not adhering to these rules.

#11 - Please note that I adhere to the cancellation policy and do not offer refunds or date exchanges due to illness, weather, power outages, natural disasters, or any other circumstances beyond our control, except in cases of a formal evacuation issued by local authorities. I strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your peace of mind.
#12 - Please do not rearrange any furniture in any room or balcony. There is a locked owners closet in the lower level of the cabin. Please DO NOT tamper with or try to unlock this door at any time. If damage or tampering has been found, legal action will be taken.
#13 - Absolutely no parties, events, loud music at any time. The cabin is in a closely populated neighborhood. Please be respectful of others around you and keep noise to a minimum after 10pm.
#14 - Trash - There are two bear proof trash cages with 2 barrels inside, located in the driveway, for your use. Please do not throw trash over any deck or balcony as, aside from destroying the property, will attract wild animals that can be dangerous. Please use the trash cans in the house and, when full, put the bag in the 2 barrels provided in the bear proof bin and lock the cage. The code for the lock is 2732 (the address of the cabin). DO NOT put trash bags on top or outside of the cage, or any exterior areas of the cabin.
#15 - Bugs and Critters and Bears, OH MY! This is a cabin in the mountains and there are bugs, critters and bears everywhere. Expect to see and hear them. We have a pest control service that sprays monthly, but you may still see some unwanted guests from time to time. Keeping the doors closed and screens on windows or windows closed will help keep those critters and bugs out of the cabin but sometimes they still sneak in uninvited. DO NOT feed or approach any animals, especially bears, they are dangerous! There is a bear family that resides in and around the resort area. It is very important to keep your car doors locked and windows up at all times, the bears are smart enough to open car doors! Please remove all food from your car. See rule #14 to help keep the bears away!
#16 - Mountain roads can be tricky to maneuver at times, especially in the winter months. Snow and ice are not too common in Tennessee; however, storms do happen from time to time, and it is important to be prepared to stay put for a bit during a storm for your safety until the roads clear up.

It sure is a beautiful place! I really hope you come back again soon. Please reach out to me when you are ready to book again!

Thank you so much Michelle! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and I look foward to you and your family coming back to stay!
We had a great time. Things got a bit hectic with the snow and being so high in the mountains but Robyn stayed in contact with us and we in contact with her for any issues that the snow may cause. We had an adventurous Christmas and made many new memories. I would definitely recommend Robyn’s properties and we will be looking into renting from her again.

Thank you so much Nancy! Yes it definitely was adventurous for sure but I am so happy that you had a great time at the cabin and made some unforgettable memories! You are amazing guests and I look foward to hosting you again soon...hopefully with better weather! haha
The property was amazing, and exactly as described. Robyn was a wonderful host and very responsive to communication from us. The location is wonderful, it is quiet, and relaxing beyond words. We all had a wonderful time, from watching scary movies, to sitting on the back deck in conversation looking out at the surrounding mountains and nature that was all around. During our stay we did see a family of bears off in the distance that were out and walking around, we only saw them once, and they never got close to any of the surrounding properties. We cannot wait to stay here again, and for a longer time as our stay seemed to fly by us. If you are looking for a family stay or just a stay away from it all I would recommend this property and the host!

Hey there James! I absolutely love hearing all the wonderful memories you made with your family at Vista Lodge! I look forward to you coming back to stay! I have to say I am jealous that you got to see the bear family and I have not yet! Let me know when you are ready to come relax again!
Everything you are looking for in a cabin right here! We have stayed at a ton of cabins in the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg areas and this one exceeds all expectations and is easily our favorite stay! Beautiful views, comfortable furniture throughout the whole house including beds, couches for lounging and all the kitchen amenities. Cozy and plenty of room for everyone! My kids loved the game room area and we all loved the theater room, with amazing sounds! AND… great cable service and internet for a long relaxing weekend laying around while it snowed around us. Robyn the owner is wonderful to talk to. :). We can’t wait to return! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
