The cabin was almost just as we remembered it 17 years ago when we came here for our honeymoon, just a few updates. Small, quaint, quiet, and nostalgic.

Thank you so much for this incredibly sweet review. It truly means so much to us that you chose to come back and stay here again 17 years after your honeymoon ❤️ We love hearing that the cabin still felt cozy, quiet, and nostalgic for you while holding onto those special memories. What a wonderful full-circle moment! We’re so honored to have been a small part of both trips and would absolutely love to welcome you back again for many more Smoky Mountain memories in the years ahead 🏔️✨
Cozy and comfy cabin, a perfect getaway for us with our pups!

Besides the unexpected 200 fee charged through Vrbo, our stay was extremely disappointing.The cabin has what appears to be a serious termite problem. We found dead termites and wood debris around the kitchen counter, the bed, and the balcony. After cooking dinner, I left the food on the kitchen counter to rest for a short time. When I returned, it was covered in wood flakes that had fallen from above. The next morning, my wife suggested we eat breakfast on the balcony, but wood flakes continued falling onto us and our food there as well.The kitchen also was not thoroughly cleaned before our arrival, and the baking sheet provided didn’t even fit inside the oven. Additionally, one of the jets in the hot tub was not working, and there was a noticeable moldy smell when we first entered the cabin.Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and we have no plans to return.
We had a very fun trip and overall a great getaway.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re so happy to hear that you had a fun and enjoyable getaway. We’d love to welcome you back for another great stay in the future!
This was the worst experiences we have ever had. The bathroom had blood spots on the wall. The whole place was very dusty. The jets in the hot tub did not work. The maintenance man stated that they could not get parts to repair it because it was too old. The water pressure in the jacuzzi was so low that after trying to fill it for 30 minutes and it barely got to a quarter full. We just gave up on it.It's such a shame that they rented the cabin out knowing that it was in such bad condition. I would never rent from Aunt Bugs again.
Thank you so very much for such great feedback. We are happy to know you had a nice and comfortable stay. We are very lucky to have a great cleaning team that does their best to ensure our properties are as clean and comfortable as possible. Thank you again and we hope to see you again soon.
My girlfriend and I stayed here for our anniversary weekend and had an incredible experience! The cabin was very clean and location is very nice if you wanna be a short drive away from the attractions but away from the big crowds. We absolutely plan to stay here again!
Zen garden is a very accurate name. Me and my husband had a wonderful time relaxing here.

Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you and your husband had a relaxing and enjoyable time at Zen Garden—hope to welcome you back again soon!
Great location, decent mountain views. They worked with me on a last minute check in which was great. Perfect for a 2 person getaway. We would visit again.
Communication was great. Cabin was nice, especially for a last minute booking. Hot tub worked but isn’t in the best shape. It was great for our quick stay, though! Couldn’t get fireplace to work, but we also didn’t contact anyone about it. I’m sure if we had, they would have taken care of it right away.
Small home with rustic charm. Quiet neighborhood. Everything we needed to get away for a few days.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us! We're glad to hear that the cabin's rustic charm and peaceful surroundings provided the perfect setting for your getaway. It sounds like it had everything you needed to relax and unwind. We’d love to welcome you back for another quiet escape anytime!
Me and my wife loved the quiet neighborhood and the vicinity to Downtown Gatlinburg. The place was very clean and had everything that we needed/wanted. The WiFi was a bit in and out and the fireplace was out of propane, but besides that, we loved it. We will definitely look to stay here again on our next weekend trip.
This cabin was perfect for the quality time my husband and I were looking to spend for our anniversary.
