Quiet Freshly Renovated Smoky's Cabin

Great Cabin and everything as described.

We had a great time at this beautiful cabin. The location is really great, it's pretty secluded from other cabins but it's very close by to pigeon forge and the entrance to Smokey Mountains from pigeon forge. We had no problem driving everyday to the Smokeys. We really liked the design of the cabin, and the layout. Lawrence the host was very attentive and responded quickly to all our questions and needs. I highly recommend this cabin

Very clean, spacious, and great location. Would stay again!

If I were rating solely on a cute cabin that doesn’t make you do ridiculously intense cleaning before you leave on top of the cleaning fee as VRBO properties usually do, I’d give 5 stars. Owner communications, 5 stars. That being said, we left very disappointed in our stay. We booked this cabin to celebrate my husbands 53rd birthday. I wanted a nice trip away with a fireplace and hot tub, and this property fit the bill with two fireplaces, a hot tub, and privacy. Once we found the property (GPS is tricky) we found neither fireplace working. The hot tub was dirty with green algae on the inside walls. Thick dust on top of fridge. Cobwebs on dining room chandelier, lamps, and walls in master bedroom. Two of three lightbulbs in kitchen burnt out, and a burnt lampshade by bed in downstairs bedroom. The patio lights outside didn’t work, and only one porch light out front worked. We didn’t use the pool table because of the puddle of rain water on the tarp covering it. The owner said he would get someone out to fix the fireplaces which did finally happen - the last night we were there (the pilot lights were both out) - and told us that due to low water levels in the area that sediment was in the tank causing hot tub issues. Obviously he is misunderstanding what I was saying because sediment due to drought does not cause the horrible condition of the hot tub. Draining a hot tub without cleaning the tub does nothing. Overall, we were not able to use two of the main features we wanted, which we feel we paid for based on the listing and did not get. If your cleaners are telling you they drain and clean that after each visit, I assure you they aren’t. Having grown up in Tennessee, I know the difference between sediment, sulfur and iron deposits and that of low maintenance. This cabin is cute, laying in the hammock upstairs and listening to the rain was nice, but this property needs a deep clean, a tankless water heater, and better housekeeping and maintenance. For future visitors, the driveway and parking is very tricky; do not have a trailer attached and a truck is recommended.
