My family was very excited to spend the past week exploring TN. We were in town for a baseball tournament and our entire team thought it would be fun to rent cabins near each other. We chose this particular cabin because the sleeping configuration would work well for our family.
After an 8 hour drive, we arrived to the cabin. I went to pull the Queen sleeper sofa out to get it ready for my son. As I pulled it out, food, crayons and trash fell out. Then as I examined it closer the sheets and mattress were covered in urine. The urine went all the way through the bedding down to the sofa springs. I called the contact number on the booking and spoke with the host. She first suggested we cover the pee soak mattress with new sheets. I couldn’t believe that was suggested as a fix. I declined. She then said she ordered a replacement but it wouldn’t arrive until the end of our stay. She had an air bed sent over. Halfway through the night, it deflated. It would only hold air for a few hours before needing to be refilled. It was super uncomfortable and disruptive.
As if that wasn’t enough… literally all the bedding on the other beds were stained and had hair on them. We were so tired at that point that we stripped the beds and put them in the wash ourselves to ensure they were in fact sanitized. The washer sounds like something is broken. Very noisy. The biggest issue was the dryer. It never got warm and just seemed to blow room temp air. It took 4 dryer cycles to dry the sheets. We did call about the dryer as well and were told we had it on the wrong setting. That wasn’t the case as it never fully warmed up to a normal dry cycle. We counted on having a working washer/dryer as we needed to wash baseball clothes daily. We ended up having to use a friends washer/dryer.
Overall, it was very clear this cabin was not maintained properly. The host seemed hassled to deal with any of it (even stating she was on vacation). I guess it didn’t occur to her we were also on one. The inches of dust hanging from the ceiling fans…. mold/mildew covering the air vents … dirty bedding… dirty floors… it was just disgusting. Our friends that rented nearby for similar prices had much cleaner spaces. They were shocked at the condition of this place.
To top it off… the view that is advertised in the pics is now blocked by new construction. You will hear that construction around the clock… so there is no peaceful cabin vibe.
We ended up leaving 2 days early.
