So after reading some of the reviews here is my honest opinion...the property is absolutely gorgeous. Our check in was delayed due to people before us leaving the cabin a mess, so we had to wait until 5pm. I believe we possibly rushed the cleaning team, at least I hope that is what it was. One bedroom was not finished, cleaned or bed made, the stove top is a mess and someone really needs to clean that. I was going to because of my ocd but kept forgetting to pick up the cleaner. Some of the reviews said the home had a cockroach problem.....for those of us who are accustomed to the outdoors they were not cockroaches but Beatles....part of being in the mountains. As for centipedes oh they are definitely in the house but again part of being in the middle of the woods. Possibly needs an exterminator to come out more frequently but they didn't bother us. The home is gorgeous, we cleaned it a bit better after the cleaning team left...but I have ocd about cleaning. Lol. The drive into Gatlinburg and trails was ok... not to bad. About 30 mins one way. You give up closeness to the town for the beautiful views I had no issues with driving everyday. The loft upstairs does get a bit warm but if you leave the famns running it is actually comfortable....and I prefer it cold when I sleep. The owner was very nice and responded quickly to any of our texts. We had no true issues and we were very happy with our stay. You get to see amazing views of the sunrise and sunset. I do agree with some of the reviews that a hot tub would be awesome on one of the decks, especially after a few of the trails we did. For the reviews left about needing more TVs....when we go on vacation we prefer to stay away from the tv and electronics. So for us even with small children I would say there were enough tvs in the home. We would have preferred if there was a door for the tub/shower area for the master bath. With the kids running around a bit difficult for privacy when taking a shower. We would definitely stay here again even with a few of the hiccups.
