Cabin was nice. No dresser in the master had to keep our folded clothes in our suit cases. Had to do some cleaning once we arrived. Trash was not emptied, pots and plates were not clean, not water spots but grains of food on them. The lot is not pet friendly. We had to take our pups on daiily trips to the visitor center to use the restroom. Grass\weeds were extremely tall. My dogs will not use a dog pad, they are potty trained, it was on the porch for bad weather. It smelled really bad so was not an option. Contacted the owner a couple times they were responsive, but no issue was resolved. I am a small business owner and never want to leave a less than perfect review, but to many issues to let it go.

This cabin was perfect for my family to go hangout in the mountains for a couple of nights. It was a short drive away from the Gatlinburg strip, had tons of fun activities inside the cabin, and was extremely clean. We brought our French bulldog and he had a great time. Host was very timely with responses. We have no complaints. Even got to see a bear on our way leaving!

We had an amazing stay at the cabin. Clean, and well maintained. Close to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge, we were able to find many things to do either way. The game room was definitely a hit with our family.
