Although the cabin is a nice cabin, it wasn't nice enough to justify the price. I will start with the negatives because I like to end on positive notes.
Negatives - The handrailing on the porch near the front door is loose. You can see where repairs had been attempted, but it does not feel stable. None of the T.V.s are smart T.V.s, or do they have an internet device connected. Not a huge deal, but again at the price we paid, and three TVs, I think at least one should have access to internet apps. One of the bathroom sinks was not cleaned prior to our arrival. The faucet still had toothpaste spit spots on it. The beds are hard. The whirlpool tub on the main floor was not working. After calling the management company to notify them, I found out that the problem was known prior to our arrival. We were not notified of this before hand. We were told that we would be getting a discount at the end of the stay, but still have not heard back from the management company about it. I have tried to contact them. The hot tub is in a dark area on the deck. There needs to be a little more light so you can see how to operate the controls at night. Also, there are several jets that no longer work in the hot tub. It's time for an update.
Positives- The cabin is very pretty in the inside. The owner has decorated the cabin in a way that made me feel welcome and relaxed. You can tell that they care about the people that stay in their cabin. The location in relation to downtown Gatlinburg is great. Just a few minute drive and you are there. Although the driveway can be tricky, it is a mountain cabin so that is expected. The arcade machine was fun and brought back memories of the 80's. The pool table is a nice touch. The washer and dryer worked great. Normally at a rental, the dryers have to be ran 2 or 3 times to dry a load. That is not the case here. The kitchen had everything we needed and more.
