    Furniture was run down, torn et falling apart. Mattress on the bed we slept on needs at the very least to be turned but more likely should be replaced.

    Perfect location being close enough to enjoy the sites without being in the middle of it.

    The cabin is a bit dated. The beds seemed old with low quality comforters. There were cob webs in some of the corners. The air hockey table didn't work. There were no darts.

    The kitchen was nice. Plenty of seating in the living room and dinning area. Nice big front porch. Pool table was nice. Community pool was a little small but nice (we did have to call to get the access code).

    The place could have been cleaner. There was no cleaning supplies left to clean up the kitchen with after cooking. Need a baby gate for the stairs.

    Cabin had spider webs in the Windows and the fans were dirty. Garden tub was very slick. My wife actually fell in the shower. Heat wasn't working downstairs when we arrived. It was repaired the next day.

    Location was good for easy access to pigeon forge

    The location was about 5 mins from the main strip but far enough away that you couldn't hear all the noise! It was so quiet and a beautiful location! Very clean and well-stocked with supplies. We had 12 people and there was plenty of room. Everyone loved the game room! There was room for everyone to be together yet you could find a space for alone time if needed.

    The house could use some fixing up and updating. The outlets are worn and loose so cords fall out, there are fluorescent tube lights that don’t turn on reliably, there are some scratches from dogs, etc. the living room furniture is worn, although that’s expected in a dog-friendly house. The main floor toilet didn’t flush properly.

    Great amenities and location, love the hot tub and game room. Plenty of towels and other supplies.

    I think we were the first renters of the season it was a mess coffee maker didn't work hot tub was never cleaned out so it had to be emptied and then refilled so we didn't even get to enjoy that because the water was too cold. The maintenance person never took it off of sleep and there was no instructions on how to do so so it was 75°.

    I liked the location, the cabin itself was great

    Family Spring Break 1st trip to a cabin

    So it had nothing to do with the stay. Our GPS heading in told us to go another way to save 5 mintues so we went that way which took use through the mountains on the steep and small mountain roads, that us Fl people arent used to. So that wasnt fun for us. Again that is an us problem not the cabin. With the cabin, I would say not having a garbage can in kitchen was weird, we had to go buy garbage bags and just keep them on floor and then take outside to bins every night. Also I was a little scared to get in hot tub because it was on top level, which I totally understand that to keep wildlife out of it, I did get in once but got out before all of my nieces got in so that it wasnt packed. They however loved it and was in it everynight.

    It was cozy. Loved the fireplace. The rockers on the front pouch for coffee every morning. Honestly wish we could have stayed longer. We all enjoyed walking around the roads. My nieces found what looked like a trail, so the walked it and it just lead to a top of a hill nothing too serious, does look like maybe a night time party spot, as there are a bunch of empty alcohol cans stashed behind the fallen tree,(not cabin issue) but my nieces went up and down that spot multiple times we were there they had a blast. The pool table, the air hockey table and the hot tub kept my nieces entertain the whole time that they were off their electronics and enjoying themselves and that is what this trip was about.

    Key codes to the cabin, some how got changed or didn't work twice, but it was taken care of very quickly.

    Peaceful and quiet area. It was close to everything, but hidden away from it all.

    We couldn't find coffee filters and my son stole my pillow from upstairs. So, maybe a better pillow downstairs.

    Clean, lots of room, hot tub, air hockey and pool table, large porch with swing, two decks, very well kept, comfortable, and relaxing!
