Let me begin by saying that the cabin was extremely clean and comfortable. Getting to the cabin was a little difficult. We took the resorts recommendation for getting to the cabin, but on departure, we saved over an hour of travel time. Just wish I had followed my Garmin in directions getting to the cabin.
The lay out of the cabin was very nice. Open floor plan so that I could cook and still talk to my wife before dinner.
The cabin is located in a resort and the resort is extremely quiet. That was super nice. Beware, racoon's are present in the woods and we had one want to visit for dinner. I was grilling and it showed up and then ran away. We had no problems, but would make sure small children need to be watched outside.
Cabin was also near a very good grocery store and close to all the great hiking in the Smoky Mountains. About a 5-10 minute drive to the center of Gatlinburg. Also, about 20 minute drive to shopping at the Outlet Mall in the area. Again, great location.
We did have two problems while we were staying. First the air conditioner upstairs was not working the first night. Lucky that it was not a hot evening and we survived. The resort did get it fixed the next day. Secondly, the upstairs toilet was not working properly as well and the resort tried to fix it, but it was still not working correctly when we left. The staff was very pleasant to deal with and kept in communication when we had the problems.
Finally, the only thing that truly worried me was all the posted signs informing my family that if things were damaged that we would be charged for the damages. I was concerned when the air conditioner and then the toilet were not working properly. Was I going to be charged? The staff informed me that I would not. The signs are a little disturbing. Also, there was a lower drawer in the fridge that was cracked and did not pull out properly. I did not use it. Again, worried I might have to replace a fridge.
This is a comfortable and clean cabin. Location is great and plenty of room. I recommend this location.
