Great place

The Roaring Romance condo was one of the best rentals we have had in a while. It is just as advertised, great location, close enough to walk to downtown but far enough away from the crazy crowds. The condo had everything we needed and we really enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the creek. I would recommend this condo to anyone coming to Gatlinburg.

The sound of rushing water is great!

The condo is very nice and roomy but being right beside the rushing stream is special. We easily walked to restaurants.

Great Stay!!

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was very clean. The beds were very comfortable. The fireplace did not work and we would have liked to have a fire. But we would definitely stay here again.

Great place

The place was clean and cozy my only complaint would be I had to turn the gas on for the fireplace and when I would light it the smoke detector would go off so we just didn't use it. Otherwise great stay I would stay there again.

Great condo close to downtown

Very spacious and even nicer than the pictures. Well stocked kitchen and nice balcony with creek running right outside. Condo was walking distance to downtown and even closer restaurants as well. Gas fireplace is a bonus during the cold times.

Fourth of July

Stayed with my family over the 4th of July. We were able to stand on the porch in the front and watch the parade from outside our door. The condo was perfect for us. The balcony was large and private. The creek is down u see the balcony. My kids were able to play out there for a while it was mellow. Overall great location and great price.

Good location but rental needs attention

The unit is very conveniently located to parkway. However, the unit’s master bath had small red bugs all over it. We think they were clover mites. The other bedroom had a mattress that was completely worn out. When you laid on it you rolled to middle of bed. Very uncomfortable. Sent multiple messages to host before stay and during with no response.

Dollywood weekend

Hard to find anything to complain about! Wonderful condo, clean, spacious, great setting with beautiful creek running outside our balcony. Everything worked- TV easy to operate, good showers, quiet but convenient location- would definitely rent again. If I had to make one suggestion I would ask that the ice maker be flipped on before guests arrive so ice is readily available. Small thing but all I’ve got to suggest. 🤗🙏🏼🤗

A pleasant stay

Our condo was very comfortable, nicely decorated and well equipped. The stream running behind the balcony made for a very pleasant, relaxing environment. Parking is a bit tight, especially in the garage. Hosts' description of the reserved parking spaces did not match the actual fact, and we created our own parking pass by hand. Water heater was insufficient to the task and provided mostly tepid showers. Easy access to the nearby dining, shopping and entertainment district. A trolley stop is close by, but we never experimented to figure out how well the service works or how often the cars run.

Roaring Romance

Upon first arrival everything seemed to look great! Well after settling in the age of the condo and the mediocre cleaning started to show. There was thick dust on all the ceiling fans, thick dust on all the entertainment centers, crumbs and dirt under rugs that got moved around, lumpy old mattresses in the guest bedroom, paint peeling in the master bath around the light fixtures in the shower and in the bathroom, holes in the wall in areas and dated appliances except for the dishwasher that only worked half the time and they had to come repair twice in our 7 day stay. The furniture in the living room was nice and comfy and the kitchen counters were very nice and the large patio was very nice as well. From what I can tell it looks like the photos were touched up and brightened to make it look well lit, but the dated light fixtures and ceiling fans did not reflect what this condo looked like. I understand that people are in and out all the time, but a fresh coat of paint, some newer appliances and newer beds would go a long long way. It wasn't a bad stay, but after the high cleaning fees and the cost we expected a lot better.
