Moonlight Ridge Cabin Retreat

DO NOT RENT THIS PROPERTY. It is NOT as advertised in the pictures. There was no extra rocking chair in the living room, the gas fire place was removed, leaving only the pipe with a cap on it in the living area. There was no coffee table that was pictured. There are cracks and indentions in the floor. There were bugs in the cabin. The ‘entertainment’ that consisted of an air hockey table had no pucks, and when converted to a pool table, it had no pool balls. We took a family of 6 and no where near enough adequate seating for our family. The road up to the cabin was very rutted out and the the gravel directly in front of the cabin, where we had to park was not packed efficiently, so it was tricky to try and not get stuck. Basically- what you see in the PICTURES is NOT what is in the actual listing. I tried to get a refund as we had to make other arrangements while staying in Pigeon Forge; but was told that due to those things not being listed as amenities, it didn’t matter that they were removed from the property. Absolutely ridiculous!!! I wish i had had the wherewithal to take pictures, but we were too busy tryin to make other arrangements for the 30 minutes we spent at the property, to take pictures of the ACTUAL state of the listing. DO NOT RENT!!!!

Plumbing, toilet would not flush toilet water everywhere. The residents asked us to not flush toilet paper but the trash cans were full.The pictures look nothing like the cabin ended up leaving to stay in a hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at this space. It was clean, secluded, and peaceful. The host was amazing with accommodating our late check out. I would book this space again and again.

The first night we got there after a day of hiking and no water for showers. The water was hardly coming out. We also had lots of laundry to do which was the main reason we picked this place. We talked to the manager and he said everything was checked and should be working. There was a strong musty or moldy smell throughout. We bought some air fresheners. There were ants and spiders everywhere. The manager did warn us that they just sprayed for them, but as we slept we all had ants crawling on us. The next morning we got up and looked outside and there trash all over the property, cleaning gloves were dropped on the driveway. Everything was overgrown and not maintained. We attempted to do laundry and take showers but not enough water coming out to do so.The second night we arrived at the property and no power. There were no flashlights or candles to light are way. We called the manager and he called the power company. The water wouldn’t come out at all do to it being well water and needed electricity to pump the water. We went to bed with no showers and again with the ants crawling on us. The electricity came back on a little after midnight. We got up the next morning and decided we were not going to stay for the 3rd night. There were no pool balls for the pool table. The driveway was needed to be graded. Glad to be back home.

We booked this cabin for 7 days 6 nights as our son was playing a baseball tournament at Ripken. It was very clean when we walked in the first night we got there. The next day there were big black ants (big ones) all on the wall, shelf and trash can. We let that go the first day but they continued rhe next day along with mice! We had left some of our groceries out on the counter and were woken by a noise in the kitchen. My husband went out and a mouse was tearing into our food. There was poop in the sink, behind the stove and by the dishwasher. I messaged the host as I was disgusted by the mouse eating our food. He communicated very fastly and had someone out there. The people sprayed raid and put some ant traps out. For the mice they put a trap behind the oven. It did not help as the mice continued to get on the counter. We put the remaining groceries in the microwave so they were safe. The host was very apologetic but it was still a hassle. This was our first time renting through VRBO and the experiance wasnt the best. My kids did enjoy the air hockey table and the hot tub!

The pictures make the place seem bigger. The living area and kitchen are attached and the bedrooms are separated by the pool table area which also is where the bunk beds are. There was no firepit outside like the pictures showed, but the hot tub did work (wasn’t warm enough until the second day, though). The drive up there is a very steep gravel path that has a very deep “trench” that goes up halfway the hill the cabin is on. My Honda civic nearly got stuck going up. The parking spot is only large enough for one car. It is a clean cabin however, and served the purpose our family of 4 (2 kids, 23 mo/3 yo) needed it for.

Private, clean and very comfortable, and not too far from town. Upon closer inspection the home is in rougher shape than the photos show, but fine for the price. The hot tub water had tannins from leaves that got in & weren't removed. Just little things, like the floor in the kitchen was badly damaged at some point and poorly repaired, there was not much water pressure anywhere in the house, and the flooring in the addition has big gaps between boards. As a luxury Realtor in a resort market and custom carpenter, we are pickier by nature and those things stand out to us like a sore thumb. They didn't take away from a very enjoyable stay though! We wanted peace and quiet and to retreat from the fast pace of our work week and this was perfect for that. The host was very responsive to all our questions and other than a little trouble finding the right driveway late at night, it was easy to access and get checked in. The bed was very comfortable and everything was very clean (with the exception of the hot tub water looking off). This would be a great rental for a small family exploring the nearby tourist attractions.

Property was super nice and cabin was clean and well kept! The driveway is a little small if you have more than 2 cars. Other than that everything was perfect i definitely recommend coming out to this cabin!

We booked a last minute trip to the mountains for a quick getaway with our toddlers. This property was perfect. The kids loved playing on the large deck and enjoyed a dip in the hot tub. The owner was very nice and responded almost immediately answering any questions I had. I would definitely stay here again.

We came down for a baseball tournament in Pigeon Forge. It was a perfect location - far enough away but close enough to everything! If ever back in the area, we would love to stay again.
