In its day... this was the perfect Smokey Mountain cabin; with just a little TLC it will be again!
Our stay in this cabin was a great long weekend! Plenty of room to spend time together, play cards and the kids and adults absolutely loved the indoor pool and Hot Tub. This home is the perfect picture of a Great smokey Mountain get away, the wood carving in the home are amazing, huge decks looking out over the woods, other homes nearby but you are separated by the trees just perfectly. Conveniently located! Equally close to Gatlinburg, PF and Sevierville.8-10 miles...20-30 minutes on back roads.
The normal wear on the home has only added character to this lovely cabin...however I only gave 4 stars because there were a few fixable issues. I say fixable because they can be fixed easily so don't deter your stay by my issues necessarily.
This home does not have any Wifi/internet, this amenity is not listed so it is not deceiving; however, my mistake was assuming. We also did not have a lot of luck with cell service while at this home. Although this was an inconvenience, we all did manage without it. If Wifi is a necessity for you, this is probably not your place.
More furniture than not needs some TLC. When I looked back over the review, years even, it seems that the same furniture has never been updated... this just seems to be something not being updated however it is to the point that some are a necessity now. This is a completely fixable issue with a little TLC .
The kitchen is missing some very basic essentials if you intend to do any cooking and there is a grill but no propane. Both simple fixes
This listing says this property sleeps 12, possibly with the right combination of adults and children, but this property will not sleep 12 adults comfortably. There are also not adequate linens to even make enough sleeping spaces for 12 ppl. 8 comfortably, 10 possibly... is far more accurate.
I thought this property was so picturesque and perfect for the Smokies, I wanted to run out and buy some drapes, a few pieces of used furniture, some baking sheets, pots and pans and pick up some propane.... then I remembered I was relaxing and that wasn't my home.
I hope this home gets some attention! It is indeed a great place.
