We recently stayed here for a family vacation which included age ranges 10-75 years of age. The cabin is spacious and gives everyone a spot and place to go. Here are the pros:
-Kitchen: We prepared several meals in the kitchen and it is well stocked with pots/pans and utensils. It is centrally located and made preparing family meals enjoyable.
-The large first floor family room was one of our favorite places to spend time indoors.
-Overall the cabin is clean.
-The outdoor firepit area is nice as well. We love adirondack chairs, however, seating at the firepit did not hold everyone, so that wasn't ideal. Perhaps adding a bench or 2.
-Location. This cabin is in an ideal location near the edge of Pigeon Forge.
There were several drawbacks to be aware of if you consider a stay here.
-Water does not get hot only lukewarm. Over the course of our stay no one had a hot shower. It was always lukewarm at best. Additionally, while the showers are updated and look nice, the shower heads are small and do not have good water pressure.
-There are no towel hooks. We used the edge of the doorway or cabinets to hang our towels. Otherwise there is not a spot to place your towel. No hooks of any kind to hang jackets, etc.
-There are closets but no hangers, no dressers, etc. Not a big deal but there isn't a spot to sit your suitcase or clothing. Suitcases/bags have to be laid on floor. Not a big deal but something to set a suitcase on so you aren't crouched on the floor would be nice.
-The smaller bedroom on the first floor seems to be connected via a vent to the bathroom. My sister stayed in this room and could hear everything taking place in the bathroom and at times smell everything from the bathroom into the bedroom.
-Curtains or blinds are a must. Yes, it's in the woods but the cabin is not fully secluded. Nearly every window in the cabin is open without blinds or curtains. It would be nice to close the blinds at night for privacy or in the early am for those that want to sleep in.
-There is not a kitchen table of any sort. There is a bar area with multiple stools but not a space to gather around a table. Not a big deal for our group but some may want to know.
-The stairs are very steep. May be difficult for very young or very old.
Overall we enjoyed our stay here! It was easy to book, check-in and out.
