Dollywood Luxury Smoky Mtn Pool Cabin, Amazing view, Hot tub,Arcade, Pets ok

8/10 Good
"Overall, we enjoyed our stay and had a great time with our family. We especially loved the amount of space the cabin provided, which made it very comfortable for everyone.There were a few minor things that could have been better. The outside yard had just been mowed, but the small golf area had not been blown off. There was also a wooden stand-up checker game that was broken and had not been put away or replaced. We couldn’t find a dustpan, and although we found a vacuum, there was no charger available for it to work.The biggest disappointment was the pool. It was advertised as heated, but the water was very cold and unfortunately wasn’t usable for us. The pool area had a lot of peeling paint and debris. The host was great about responding and even had someone come out to take a look at it, but unfortunately, the issue was not resolved during our stay.Other than the pool, I would consider everything else to be minor. Despite these issues, we had a great time, and our family really enjoyed the cabin and our stay."

"Infinite Views cabin is located in beautiful Gatlinburg, TN. The owners had great communication, with any questions I had. They also gave great instructions on how to get to the cabin, and we arrived without a hitch! My 2 teenage boys and I stayed here from Thursday-Sunday and had a wonderful time. The cabin was spotless, kitchen was well stocked. The cabin was open and well furnished. The hot tub on the balcony was clean and ready to use. The upstairs was our favorite spot as it had the pool table! We played pool every day we were there and thoroughly enjoyed it! We can’t say enough positive things about our stay here and would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for allowing us to stay here and make some wonderful memories!"
