Pet-Related Rules:
- This property is in a mountainous area where bears and other wildlife live. Please keep an eye on your pets when they are exploring the outdoors. Similarly, since we are in the wooded area, please ensure your furry ones are up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm meds.
- Please keep pets off the bed, pickup after them outside, and prevent them from 'marking' anything inside. If excessive hair or urine is found inside, we will contact you about any necessary fees.

We were not told about the construction across the driveway, one of the reasons we chose this property was the picture showed a nice yard. There was no yard due to the construction and was muddy where the trucks had been, no grass to walk dog.

we had to contact vrbo support to get the get the access code because the host did not respond after hours of asking. Upon arrival, the house was clean, after checking the house we noticed several windows weren’t locked, and privacy is very limited considering all blinds and curtains had either been taken down or cut, which left us feeling unsafe. Overall the stay was good considering the house was clean and we were given all supplies we would need, plus the hot tub and outside area was well kept.

Potential but would not rent here again.
One of the only positives about this rental was the location. The house was covered in dog fur, so much so that we wouldn’t allow our kids to get on the rugs or floors at all. But the beds and everything had fur on them as well. This was from previous renters and not being cleaned throughly at all. All rugs in the rental were heavily stained and looked dirty as well. On top of the house being overall disgustingly dirty there were other problems too, one of the showers continuously leaked the whole time which they were trying to get someone out to fix but didn’t in the 5 days we were there. Also if you have small children bathing is a bit hard as the tub faucets do not work, there is no way to change the water from the shower head to come out of the faucet so we had to use only one bathroom (which the other was leaking anyway) and use the wand from the shower to fill up the tub to bath our kids to the renters credit I did not address this with them because at that point we were just dealing with what he had. Overall location was great and house has a lot of potential if cleaned a ton better and some improvements made.

Property is okay
My family and I stayed from December 20th to Jan 2nd. This property has great potential but as some of the other reviewers put it is on top of a construction site. We we were told that you could not even see the construction and would never hear them. Bright and early the next day you could hear the nail gun go off. I was told that the property would be decorated for Christmas and it was not. We had issues with the sink and dishwasher. Not to mention the cleaning crew showed up on December 31st stating that we were supposed to have been checked out and got snippy with my husband when he told them that we were there until January 2nd. At that point my husband and I decided to leave early the next day because we did not feel safe and was worried that we would leave and find our stuff tossed out. There was also issues with someone dumping chlorine tabs outside the hot tub and our dog got ahold of it. There is also a family owned cemetery in the back. There was other issues too, that I in talk with the rental company on. I also took pictures and videos of everything before and when we checked out. At this point I want my security deposit back and feel like there should be refund of some sort back to us. Side note. You have a great few of the space needle and the fireworks going off, and there is a bear around the property.

Shady Woods made a great home base for our family group of 7 for three days. Ten minute walk to the edge of town was nice -- also close to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Beds were very comfortable, too. Nice quiet neighborhood. We all enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, corn hole, foosball, pool table and large screen TV. We cooked all of our dinners in the kitchen, too. Great place!

Christmas vacation
We really enjoyed our stay over Christmas! My husband, our 2 adult children and myself. There was plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and everyone had their own room. We enjoyed the hot tub and had many games of pool! It was an easy walk to downtown. Walking back to house was a slight challenge but not to bad. The property manager was very helpful and answered any questions that we had. We will stay there again

The location was great! While looking at photos… yes, the furniture has all been updated. However, the actual bones of the house could use some attention. Kind of disappointing that TV’s were not in all bedrooms (we are used to noise and need tv to sleep) so we just didn’t even use 3rd room. The temp in the house doesn’t seem to stay maintained throughout )hot on one side cold on other) But, for location and price it wasn’t bothersome. Just maybe something for property manager to look into. We would still stay again.

Love this place! Highly recommend!
This is our second year staying at the Shady Woods 3 bedroom cabin. We came last year and fell in love with everything about the place, from it being walking distance to town (saving you $20 a day in parking), to the jacuzzi where you can watch the Ober Gatlinburg tram go overhead, the pool table, glider swing out front, stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. And this year when we came back we were excited to see upgrades from last year, including new beds, cookware, a keurig, bath amenities, along with a bowl of individual snacks to enjoy. There is also cable with Netflix for those nights you are exhausted from walking all day and just want to relax. I think we found our annual vacation place!🤩 If you are looking for a cabin up in the woods that is far away from the vacation crowds, yet close enough to walk to the downtown Gatlinburg strip, then this is your place.

Nice stay
When we arrived the house was so hot but we got it to cool off quickly. There was a ton of bugs we found in the house but that’s to be expected when you are staying in the mountains. The 1st night we didn’t have any sheets for the pullout couch but they brought some to the house the next afternoon. Close to town which was so nice! Beds were very uncomfortable. All in all it was a good stay!

If you’re looking for closeness to the city and activities with a view of city lights (evening winter), this is your place! We also love to cook and they have brand new cookware that is really nice! The kitchen is outdated, but we could look past that with the cookware 🤣. Also, if you love to get your exercise on, like me, you can walk/jog to the top of the mountain on the road the house is on and it’s a great workout with even better views from the top! Then, jog down to the Econo Lodge and take a left to River drive and jog along the rover for a mile. So relaxing!! We would stay again!

Perfect Getaway with kids and dogs
This cabin was perfect and spacious. We had more than enough room for two adults, two young children (5 & 8), and two large dogs. It definitely could accommodate more people, or even another small family if traveling in a group. The cabin has been updated very nicely. We even noticed a few updates that aren't yet pictured in the listing. It was great for small children- no stairs or steep cliffs. The master room was decorated beautifully, and the bed was very comfortable (not too soft). The hot tub was nice and hot, and had a privacy fence shielding it from the driveway and road. There was plenty of flat space to walk our dogs around the house and down the driveway. It was so easy to drive or walk into town and to make quick trips back to the cabin to let our dogs out or let our kids refresh and rest if needed. The internet worked well. We didn't cook really, but the kitchen looked like it had everything one would need to prepare a meal. We even asked to stay an extra night, and the owner was so helpful in accommodating us and making it happen. We will certainly stay here again!

Thanksgiving break in the smokies
This house was perfect for our group of 6 adults and a dog. It fit all our requirements and the hot tub was a super nice bonus feature. The house was clean, spacious and looked exactly like it was listed online. The check in process was very easy and Bill was super responsive. The house is very close to the Gatlinburg area(which unfortunately is extremely overcrowded and totally non covid safe). We pretty much spent the time in the house (there is plenty to do with the fooseball table, the snooker table and the hot tub). The only cons I want to call out is that the kitchen is missing a few basic items like a chopping board, garbage bags, coffee, sugar, detergent, dishwashing pods(which the manager did drop off eventually). There were three coffee machines and none of them seem to be working or were extremely dirty. But these are minor inconveniences considering we had an amazing break, but would have been nice to have them included. Overall I would def recommend this place to a friend esp if you are travelling with a pet.
