Cabin was large and had lots of potential, but there were so many issues that it made her stay very discouraging. The Good- hot tub, large windows, the amenities and the beautiful great Pyrenees dog that visited us every morning.The Bad- 3 unrepaired as promised broken steps (I slipped on one of them and so did one of the children), several loose faucets, and showerheads were hanging, and the lock on one of the bedroom doors to the deck would not latch closed. Wouldn’t be fun waking up to a bear in your small bedroom.The host was very responsive, but I believe his hands were tied when it came to the Maintenance. We will not be renting this same cabin due to how much we paid and how disappointed we were with these issues. We had 22 people and the home accommodation was accurate.

Thank you for the feedback on your stay with us. I do apologize for the issues you've mention and I'll make sure that our maintenance team addresses them. I do hope otherwise you enjoyed your time in our beautiful smoky mountains.
Spacious and easy to feed and sleep 20 people including 9 kiddos. We greatly appreciated the kitchen and dining setup as well as the multiple couches in two different areas to congregate.

The Check in process was very easy. The size of the cabin was great it was able to accommodate 25 people. The kitchen is fully loaded with enough small appliances and dishes. The cleanliness of the cabin however was not the greatest. The lower half of the cabin smelled like mildew and this is where the children were sleeping. But what buttered my biscuit was the den of mice that wanted to come out and play especially in the lower half of the cabin. I have never STAYED IN HORRIBLE CONDITION.

Thank you for sharing your experience. While I’m glad the check-in and cabin size worked well for your group, I’m very sorry to hear about the cleanliness issues and the mouse problem. This is not the standard we uphold, and we’re addressing these concerns with urgency to ensure this doesn't happen again. We appreciate your feedback.
The house is very open and spacious. Plenty of room for our group of 20. Very clean. Had a neighbor's dog come to visit and he was a sweet and loving fella. Would definitely stay again.

So glad you love the open, spacious layout. We do have the best cleaner in town! Most people see bears, but you saw a doggie! Never lacking wildlife around here! We welcome you back!
It was perfect for our family reunion of 27 people. Everyone had a bed. There were a few issues like the internet and dishwasher didn’t work but the owner stayed in contact with me and tried to help resolve them. The floors and stairs need a little work but overall it was a great place to stay and hang out with family

We enjoyed being in the mountains, and overall, we enjoyed our stay at the house. However, the pictures make it look way nicer than it is. We were disappointed to find all remotes were dead, the living room light and one of the porch lights did not work. Several of the TVs were not functioning correctly. The WiFi did not work all week long, and so service was spotty. I tried three days in a row to get someone to come out and fix issues, but no one came. Unless we know for a fact that these issues will be fixed, we will probably not stay at this cabin again. The cabin has so much potential.

We had 19 of our family including Parents, 3 sons and our kids with their families so ages 5-80. We all loved the home and one of our favorite parts was time in the kitchen/dining area. Fully equipped kitchen where we made breakfast and dinner all 3 days for all 19 of us. Perfect for a large family stay.
We had a church leadership retreat and had a large group of adults. The space is well laid out and provides lots of space (both inside and outside) for our large group! It is really well priced and I would definitely rent from here again!
We could not of asked for anything better. The whole family enjoyed their stay. It was a total of 16 people and had so much room where we were not on top of one another. Would definitely stay here again if we have another large family trip.

Hi Ashley, I'm thrilled to hear that your family's stay was so enjoyable and that the accommodation provided ample space for all 16 people without feeling cramped. It's fantastic that everyone had a great time. We'd be delighted to host your family again for another large trip in the future. Looking forward to it!
We had a gathering for my wife’s birthday and it was a great house. Close to so many attractions. Big roomy house for people to be comfortable at. Overall an amazing house!
I loved the size of the cabin . I loved it was basically one level which made it very easy for handicapped ladies that have difficulty with stairs . It was also nice that there were so many bedrooms with private bath rooms . However the place needs some maintenance work . Some of the sinks and shower faucets needing replacing . The floors in the hall and shared bathroom were annoyingly squeaky . I also noticed some crown molding was falling down . It would have been nice if the pool was operational also . Overall we were pleased though . I suited our needs and we had a great time .

The house was big and spacious and had a lot of potential, but it clearly needed more care and attention. Unfortunately, numerous maintenance and condition issues significantly impacted our stay. The stairs leading down to the basement were broken and nearly caused multiple guests to trip or fall upon arrival. This was especially concerning since children were staying downstairs, and it remained a safety worry throughout the trip. Several of the shower heads were damaged, and multiple sinks and bathtubs were clogged, causing water to drain very slowly. The coffee maker and toaster were not functional, and the propane for the grill ran out within an hour of use. The inside of the hot tub was clean but the hot tub cover was dirty and the deck was dirty as well which put us off from using it at all. The bed sheets appeared old and faded. There was also poor wood finishing in certain areas which caused multiple guests to get splinters, which was concerning. Several advertised or expected amenities were either missing or in poor condition. There was no hockey table, and the foosball table, pool table, and arcade games were all in very poor shape. The outdoor pool was a major eyesore. Several doors did not open or close properly, baseboards were missing, and there was unfinished trim and door framing throughout the house. Some ceiling light fixtures were also damaged.For the price, we expected a well-maintained and cared-for home. We would not choose to book this house again.

The location of the Cabin is away from traffic and noise. Privacy is excellent. For our family of families (20), bedrooms and bathrooms were more than enough for us. The kitchen and the extra fridge made meals easy to prep and store food. The grandkids and the kids enjoyed the game room n games. We really liked the dinning room with table space for all at the same time. Recommend this cabin for large groups like ours. It has the space!

Absolutely fantastic to hear you had such an amazing time at the cabin, Frederick! It sounds like the perfect spot for a big family gathering. Privacy, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and even a game room—what more could you ask for? It's awesome that everyone had space to relax and enjoy themselves. Thanks a bunch for the glowing recommendation!
The property was a perfect fit for me family and the place was clean when we checked in. However 1 of the bedroom/bathroom has bees 🐝. Throughout the whole weekend we killed and found over 100 🐝. Someone was supposed to come through ig out to to check but no one ever showed. Other than that everything was fine.

Hi LaKeta, Thank you for your review, and I'm sorry to hear about the bees in one of the bedrooms/bathrooms. I'm glad to hear that the property was a perfect fit for your family and that it was clean when you checked in. I'm sure you didn't expect to be playing exterminator during your stay. I will have a professional come out and take care of the issue as soon as possible. I'm glad that other than the bee issue, you had a great stay. Thank you for visiting us and I hope to see you again soon!
