Lovely Mini-Vacation

Cabin was beautiful and clean, beds were comfortable, all amenities were acceptable. Only drawback was the roads we had to drive to get to the cabin. Lots and lots of twists and turns, to be expected in Sevierville, but did not expect this when going to the lake.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Nov 2024
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the cabin and found it beautiful, clean, and comfortable. We understand the drive to the cabin can be curvy due to our mountainous region, which is a characteristic of the area, especially when visiting locations like lakes. While it might feel unexpected, those winding roads are part of the charm that makes our region unique. We always encourage guests to reach out with any questions or concerns before their stay—communication can help set the right expectations. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay
