Amazing 5 br cabin-amazing mtn views & mins to NP

Our active group of 7 enjoyed our time at this property overall, and the host Jay was very responsive and helpful. But there were some pain points. The property felt neglected, including the landscaping/outdoor areas, and particularly the kitchen. We cooked daily, so the kitchen quickly surfaced as an issue for us. Almost all the dishes have large chips in them, and the pots, in some cases, looked like health hazards that belonged in the trash. Overgrown shrubs made it hard to lug cases on paths to the house, and inadequate outdoor lighting made the wooden stairs treacherous at night and in the early morning. The HVAC had been programmed to 76 degrees which is uncomfortably warm for most people and it took us some time to figure out how to reprogram it so we were comfortable at 71. At the price point we paid, we didn’t expect issues such as these.

Listen I have stayed in a lot of cabins but I will definitely be back here

The bedrooms are quaint and comfortable. The house is well maintained and the kitchen fully stocked. We ended up not using the hot tub but the kids enjoyed the fire pit. We even saw a bear bathe in the waterfall and climb the pine. The road and driveway are typical TN mountain roads - steep and narrow!! We did not love that, but the views were outstanding.

The cabin is great. On arrival there were towels in dryer and beer bottles beside the fire pit. We contacted to owner to make sure they were clean and for our use. His text was they should be clean. The washer would not wash clothes. It left detergent on them. The vent on microwave made loud noise and did not work. We notified the owner and he did offer to refund towels we had to buy for our stay. Only other issue was trash pickup. Not the owners fault but we could not find a place open to take the excess garbage. The cabin just needs small repairs. We absolutely enjoyed the stay and would recommend it. We had bear visit twice during our stay and that was pretty awesome.

Hot tub did not work properly after maintenance guy worked on it

I have had some great stays in the Smokies, and this was the best. The communication from the host was perfect. The cabin was clean and the setting was very quiet. Wears Valley was beautiful as always. This is such a great location due to its proximity to Metcalf Bottoms, which is a semi-secret entrance into the national park. I did see 4 juvenile bears playing in the waterfall behind the cabin. They arrived shortly after I did, but left quickly. They did not return, I think mainly due to the almost constant rain during this trip.I hope to be able to return to this cabin in the future.

Everything about the property was great. It was near the golf courses we were playing. The view was gorgeous. The bears did visit/entertained us. The owners did a great job in communicating.I would definitely book this cabin again.

Grandkids loved it. Plenty of rooms for kids to stay. Boys loved the pool table and ping pong table. The ladies enjoyed the hot tub. And everyone enjoyed seeing a bear cub play with a small tree next to the fire pit.

Lovely cabin. The views are stunning. Loved how responsive the host was , communication was great. Saw bears every day of our stay. Plenty of room for all ten of us. Loved the garage game room and hot tub too!

Great property very comfortable. Beds were fine. Furniture was nice. (cleaners had missed a couple room with vacuum in basement). No mold or mildew. Well equipped house and kitchen. Kids really enjoyed the garage with ping pong and video. Kids and adults enjoyed the hot tub. Bears were friendly and entertained us. (We think we saw 9 bears including two cubs, two yearlings, papa and mama bear, and maybe three others. Great kitchen and a beautiful view. Talked with host Jay a few times and he was very responsive with help and answers.

The view is incredible. And the cabin was perfect for our large group. My only issue was with the cleanliness of the cabin. When we arrived there were dirty dishes in the dishwasher, chips all over the floor of one bedroom, and a cannibis bag in a game room. I let the property manager know right away. But it was difficult for me to not focus on what else might not have been cleaned if carpets weren't even vacuumed.

This house has a million dollar view and we experienced the Smokey mountains in the best way while here! This is our 4th visit and this house was by far the best experience.

We had a wonderful time, really enjoyed the game room and hot tub. An adolescent bear was determined to use the screen porch! he came right in though a hole he had previously made in the screen door on the porch and then went back out the screen door to the back yard, he returned another day and did not like that we had blocked his access, which was a bit unnerving. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and cookware and lots of room for all 8 of us to sit comfortably at dinner.

Probably the nicest rental I've ever stayed in, and very good value for the price. The cabin is beautiful, spacious and comfortable, with a very functional kitchen, 5 nice bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms, fantastic porch and upper deck with amazing views, game rooms and other living spaces. The fire pit is nice and large with adequate seating. Screened in porch with hot tub is also very nice.

Would have been a great place to stay, but the cabin was full of dust. The hot tub was dirty and smelt really bad. Bear attached my daughter's car and ripped off two exterior car door latches. There was no food in the car. Really disappointed in hot tub.

We enjoyed our stay very much! The owner stayed in contact with us when we reached out for minor issues. We appreciated that very much.The views were amazing! It snowed and it just looked so beautiful.

The cabin was cozy, comfortable and spacious. The game room with ping pong and pool table was a big hit with our boys. The kitchen was well equipped and open to the dining area and living room. The view of the mountains is amazing!

This cabin was perfect for our family of 8 —all adults. It had beyond the basic necessities and quality items as well. From the ninja blender to cooking utensils and other tools, this was probably the most well-stocked rental EVER! Will stay here again and again!

Loads of bears enjoying the man made wayerfall

We had a great time inside and outside the cabin. The game room was a hit and the puzzles and there was enough room for us to play our own games. We had lots of entertainment with the bears also. We saw bears and cub’s everyday we were there.
