Horrible experience the cabin was not cleaned. They did offer me a small refund, but not nearly enough. If there was still toothpaste in the sink the hot tub smelled like fish. They were dirty towels on the ground. The bed was not made when we entered. There was still trash from the previous guest. It was quite literally disgusting, and all they offered me was a small refund when we weren’t able to use any of the amenities promised.

Very cute little cabin, needed some updates but was told a change in ownership happened in the time since I booked and the new owners seemed very eager to fix it up. The pond was nice even though the fish weren't biting. Check in was quick and easy. Would love to come back and stay especially after the updates they are working on!

The location was convenient to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and the house was fairly clean except for some dust on the walls .Could not get fireplace to work .Did enjoy the front porch for morning coffee.Don't expect to catch any fish in the pond -tried everything but the fish would not bite and only saw a few small perch /bluegill But it is nice for the view The king size bed was comfy but there were really no other beds except for a small futon . Overall enjoyed our stay and liked having our dog with us. I would recommend for a couple with maybe a small child .

Great Little Cabin!

This is such a wonderful stay! The property is positioned well near Pigeon forge. We had a blast hanging out in the cabin and going over to Paula Deen's for breakfast. Would definitely recommend this cabin!

Beautiful relaxing cabin minutes from downtown gatlinburg.

Cozy quiet and comfy. We saw a bear our second morning not far from cabin. Nothing concerning. Good fishing spot caught good sized bluegill, challenging to catch they aren't dumb. Cabin had everything we needed and grocery stocking option was awesome all groceries were stocked and ready waiting for us.

Relaxing and Quiet Stay

We totally enjoyed staying at The Fishing Hole this week. It is a great location- minutes away from downtown Gatlinburg but tucked away in the mountains for a quiet stay. We had a blast fishing and exploring outside of the cabin. The pictures are accurate and the owner messages you back quickly! We totally enjoyed bringing our dogs as well. A great time was had by all! We were sad to leave but we will be back! Thank you Drew for everything. Perfect little cabin you have!

Needs Some TLC

We loved this property for the main draw- the fishing pond! My 8 and 10 year olds absolutely loved catching fish after fish out of the stocked pond (be sure to bring worms!). The cabin and grounds, however, definitely need some work and cleaning. There is a strong mold smell in the kitchen, the pots and pans badly need to be replaced, the bathroom wall is spattered with old toothpaste, the fireplace pilot light kept going out, the tub jets do not work, etc. But from a mom’s perspective, the joy my kids felt while catching fish overshadowed all of the. We had a very good time.

Rustic

Pictures did not describe the property well. The grounds were very unsafe and needed TLC. The walkway to the pond was very unsafe. Definitely needs some work on the outside. The inside was what the pictures described. Small but cute and very rustic. The inside was very clean. We would not stay here again unless we knew for sure the outside was made safer.

Husbands 30th bday trip

The cabin was cute but even my husband who isn’t as hard to please as me was not happy with the cleaning job. There was a heavy chemical smell like it had been cleaned but there was dried food or something on the dining table, was very dusty and when my dogs toy rolled under the bed my husband found a dog bone that had been left there. The hot tub was really the only thing we enjoyed. Even for 2 people it felt really crowded to us. I also immediately notified the owners of the lack of cleanliness and was told they would address it.
