Smoky Mountain Cabin w/ Sunrise Views • Hot Tub • Queen Bed

Everything was awesome except no hot water in the shower!

This was the absolute cutest cabin,quiet and peaceful. We spent most the weekend in the hot tub the back porch was hidden and private. Only problem we had was we only had one wash cloth for two people. When I messaged the manager she told me they only supply starter towels, in which I returned with another email that although we share a lot of things in life BO and skin was not one we shared on purpose. She did send some cleaning people to take the towels out of the cabin next to us to give to us. So we didn’t have to share BO and skin thankfully. We read reviews before coming so we brought charcoal and wood to burn our own spices. The ice maker did not have a container to catch the ice so we didn’t use that while we was there. Both pigeon forge and gatlingburg was about 20/30 mins away with traffic. We enjoyed our weekend.

It was tricky to find. Drove passed it the first time. There are small annoyances, such as no hook for towels in bathroom, windows were very dirty, curtains in bedroom are very thin, no mat at door etc.

This cabin is as basic as a cabin gets. No frills. To start the rental was easy. Communication was fine. Directions were lacking a bit but we made it. The cabin exterior is nice. Pic online shows you what you get. Door code was a little bothersome. I won’t explain it but just know it leaves you feeling a little uneasy about your belongings and safety. Upon entering you see a small living room area with a futon as a couch. Very, very uncomfortable. Nice big flat screen TV. Fire place is nice but no tools (poker) to assist with moving wood. No way to clean up ashes. AC in living room only. The entire cabin had curtains but no blinds. At night you can see right in. Kitchen was fine. However, a few plates, a few pots some silverware and a few glasses. They went as cheap as they could on these items and provide very little. A used sponge on sink and one kitchen towel. Fridge works well. No ice maker. One small Ice tray. Moving to bedroom. Bed is a mattress on a metal frame. No box spring. Wasn’t awful but expected better. No TV in bedroom. Only heater was in bedroom. If you want the living room warm you have to sweat in the bedroom. Bathroom was clean but simple. Water was nice and hot. Deck was fine but the whole thing is basically dug into the hillside so the view of dirt was less than appealing. Could see some mountains on the one end but in the summer you won’t see a thing. Hot tub was nice, clean and worked well. Overall you get what you pay for I guess. It’s a shame that we paid what we did for this cabin and spent the same a few years ago on a two story, really nice cabin with so much more. I didn’t expect this cabin to be the best as the price was on the low end but a little upgrades would make this place so much nicer. An actual couch, fire place tools, some kitchen items, nicer towels, a box spring, a TV in the bedroom and please add a dryer at least. No way to dry the small cheap towels after a shower or a soak in the hot tub. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $100-$150 for the weekend and get a nicer cabin.
