    We stayed for Christmas week. The cabin was freshly clean when we got there. We have stayed at several different properties that Geri owned. This had 3 different floors. Both my adult children had their own space. The bedrooms and bathrooms were nice. The decor was great and was nicely decorated for Christmas. The kitchen was a little small but had everything we needed to make a big Christmas dinner. You enter straight from the driveway to the basement floor however you still had to go upstairs to the main floor. The main road in front of the house was really busy during the day but you couldn't hear it in the house just while sitting on the deck. My dog loved the deck that was secure so she could run around without worry of falling off. Geri is such a great host and even checked on us to see if we needed anything before Christmas eve. Highly recommend this property especially if you have a large family. Just remember it does have a lot of steps inside but its a 3 story so that goes without saying.

    We didn’t stay at the property, left shortly after we arrived. It had a terrible smell, mold on ceiling tiles and in the shower, multiple light fixtures were not working or missing, stains on carpets and rugs, yellow stains on bathroom floor, broken furniture, missing tv. Air conditioner appeared to not work appropriately according to sign posted by thermostat. Multiple issues.

    The air conditioner did not work.. had maintenance people there 4 days of our 7 day stay once coming out of the bathroom with a total stranger right in front of me in my nightgown.. glass and nails all in the driveway my daughter had to buy new tires from nails in the driveway which I do have pictures of.. owner was very difficult to deal with didn’t understand I was on Vacation not trying to take care of maintenance on his house..he did say I could cancelled the last 3 night and he would refund me.. where did he think I could find another place right then on the 4th of July weekend.. the whole experience was very unsettling.. He did give me grace thou because I thought check out was 11 and it was 10 .. was able to hurry and was out by 10:30.. this place was really cute but the it needed major maintenance repairs.. electrical seemed very unsafe.. I feel bad for this review but I would hate if another family went through what we did

    The place is a bit run down and need of fixing up. Also, the steepness of the drive, makes it very difficult to get up the driveway with having anything on the back of your vehicle.

    We loved this rental. It has a down home feel and the bedrooms on different floors allowed our crew to spread out more. Three bathrooms ensured no waiting which is a plus with a larger family. With teens and young adults, the pool table was used alot! And yes, the host is correct- there are definitely bears in the area. I personally had a small one walk up while I was out on the front porch swing relaxing. After I got inside, I was able to get several pics of it.❤️

    The location of the cabin was absolutely perfect. Easy access to GSM park and downtown Gatlinburg. The pool access was wonderful and easy. The cabin was clean and spacious and the secure deck was great for kids and the dog.
