The Great Escape, great location, close to the Par

Great Cabin and 2 min. To everything. A little bit of remodeling Bathroom but a very Good Location. Well worth it!!!! Great father’s Day weekend.

Great location! Close to the parks, shopping centers and eating establishments. Would highly recommend.

Walt was great with communication. House needs a deep cleaning. Cobwebs were in the cabinets and on walls. The roof had an issue but Walt was quick to resolve it. Great place and great host. It’s pet friendly and plenty of parking in the driveway. I would recommend staying.

The cabin itself is an amazing cabin. ADA accessable, close to everything, not too windy of a road, very homey. However, there were a lot of cleanliness issues. I was able to talk to the host, to which he let me know they were coming to clean the carpets after we left (a couple of days later), and that he would do a walk through to check on the issues (bugs, mold on shower liner, trash and such in couch, other sanitary issues, dust/cobwebs everywhere). Walt was helpful after I contacted VRBO and had them help with it. I had to sanitize everything to feel comfortable, but the cabin overall was nice. Honestly, I would stay again, as long as the issues were addressed.

We stayed for four days, and the only issue I had was with the twin bed mattresses. They were a little on the lumpy side. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent this property. We also had a bear visit on our first night. The bear opened the car doors and checked out the car. Got in the front drivers side door and left through the passenger door. No damage, but he/she left the doors open. It was kind of exciting.

Great location! Close to everything in nice neighborhood and great parking .We had issue with WiFi but that could have probably been solved we just did not have time . Everything was good , only suggestion is may want to put a shower mat in downstairs shower. Very slippery. Overall, everything was great and would stay there again. Highly recommend this cabin !

I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN A PLACE MY FAMILY CHOSE FOR OUR YEARLY VACATION. THE ROOM WAS NASTY AS WERE THE BATHROOMS , SHOWER AND TUB BOTH HAD HAIRS IN THEM, NO BROOM OR MOP TO CLEAN WITH , AND NOT TO MENTION A FOR SALE SIGN WAS PLACED IN FRONT YARD AND THAT IN TURN HAD PEOPLE STOPPING TO LOOK AT PROPERTY . AT ONE POINT HAD TO SIT IN ROAD AND WAIT ON 2 CARS TO BACK OUT SO WE COULD PULL IN. DISHES HAD TO BE CLEANED BEFORE WE COULD USE THEM. I COULD GO ON BUT IM NOT GONNA WASTE MY TIME. NOT WHAT THE AD CLAIMS

very close to all major attractions in downtown, Walt was very accommodating and very responsive to any questions.

Great location to Dollywood and Gatlinburg. The Cabin had everything we needed and a great front porch.

Great location. Clean.

I stayed at this property over the weekend with my two daughters, my grandchildren (ages 5 and 2), and a newborn. Unfortunately, the experience was discouraging and raised several serious concerns.Upon arrival—approximately 30 minutes after check-in—my daughter was met in the driveway by a man explaining that several vehicles (with multiple children and teenagers) would be leaving shortly and that we would need to accommodate their timing. This interaction was uncomfortable and unwelcoming, particularly given that the stay was intended for myself and young children. It immediately raised concerns about safety and boundaries, especially as this appeared to be a neighbor or third-party issue. Once inside, it became clear that the listing was not accurately represented. The photos did not match the condition of the home, and the property is described as a three-bedroom when it is, in fact, two bedrooms with a loft. This distinction matters, as it affects both expectations and pricing.The greatest concern was safety. The staircase banisters are not up to child safety standards—my nearly two-year-old granddaughter could fit her entire body through them. Physically blocking the stairs throughout the WE to prevent a potentially serious injury. Despite the listing stating the property is suitable for children ages 0–17, it is not safe and does not appear to meet VRBO or Tennessee safety code standards for child accommodations.This property has potential but not for families

Nice cozy cabin close to everything but away from the chaos

Host was great and cabin was near everything. Great place for our family

Overall a great experience. My only complaint is that the beds are really hard and uncomfortable to sleep on.

The cabin was perfect. My host made me feel very welcoming and made sure that if I needed anything to call him. We had a wonderful time and will return.

Host was wonderful

House was clean. We had originally planned to bring our dogs, but opted out at the last minute, kinda expected a dog smell, but was very clean. Easy to get to property. Hosts directions were spot on. Would definitely rent again.

Good for friend groups or fabulous l families.

Cabin looked good from the outside, inside cobwebs, spiders, stove was nasty also inside the oven. Spatulas was gross need replaced. Pots and pans scratched and had chips on them. Pulled sheet down on the king size bed there sat a rock in the bed which my husband laid on for days. Shower and bathtub is so slippery that they should have had bathmats in them all. A/c Only cooled downstairs not upstairs. Also missing screens upstairs, we could only open one window, so it was very hot. We also had to listen to the construction work being done our whole stay right across from the cabin., from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm. Which was bad enough however the traffic through the neighborhood is like a freeway nonstop all day and night. also where we stayed there was no sight of mountain views where we stayed. Very disappointed in all. Will not be staying there ever again!

This was a great cabin and an excellent time. I will come back again and Cabins in the Clouds did a great job. Thank You.

Loved the cabin itself, the location, quietness, size, atmosphere & pet friendly.Unfortunately there were some issues. Cleanliness was the biggest problem. Nasty & disgusting. The bedroom carpet OMG, the kitchen cabinets had food stuck on them, the dust/cobwebs and the mold on the walls.Broken lamps and/or lamps that didnt work at all.Brown rings on the dresser from lampsUsed bandaid laying on dresserNo mountain view as states in adWe did stay as what choice did we have ? We never would have found another pet friendly cabin last minute. We made the best of it and I cleaned what I could.I hope whomever rents this cabin next has better luck

Place was ok for the money and the time we went during Labor Day weekend! The cabin needs updates and needs a deep cleaning! The carpets are very dirty and there was tons of spider webs on ceiling area and the fan in bathrooms were very dusty and looked like they have never been cleaned! The cabin was in a great neighborhood, that was covered with cabins and tons of out of towners, but everyone was nice, check in was easy, rental was easy and reasonable, and the outside the yard and landscaping was clean and well groomed. The front porch was very clean and relaxing. There had definitely been a bear out back of this cabin there was bear poop and he/she had ate a turtle shell still there. We had a good experience just wished it had been cleaner and more updated.

We were wowed by this cabin in so many ways especially the location, peacefulness and log cabin atmosphere. We were impressed with the large parking space but our favorite would have to be the front porch ! However there were issues. Biggest one, cleanliness. The carpet in the main floor bedroom was absolutely disgusting. The dressers had dirt rings on them from the bottom of the lamps and a used bandaid was stuck to one of the lamp bases. The kitchen cabinets had food stuck on the doors, as well as did the side of the refrigerator. Cobwebs/dust everywhere including floors, walls, windows and the wall rack which held kitchen items like hot pads & a cutting board. I dont think any furniture had been cleaned behind in an extremely long time. Your housekeeper has a lot to be desired. A few of the lamps were unoperable and would fall apart if moved. TV's didnt work when we first arrived. I spoke with Walt and he was suppose to arranged for someone to come service them. Im not sure if they showed..no notification of arrival time or that the service was completed. When we arrive back at the cabin in the evening the TV was on. Not sure if it popped on itself or what happened ? Thank you for letting us try the cabin. If/when we do return we will probably look to stay elsewhere unless those items mentioned were remedied.

Always love our time at The Great Escape….

We enjoyed our stay as always. Great location. Only problem was strange sounds coming from the microwave. We will be back again next year.

We enjoyed the location and overall it was good. However there were a lot of bugs on the inside that we were constantly killing or removing, and many spider webs on the inside of the cabin, and property definitely could've used a better dusting on the inside of it.

Overall it was a pretty good cabin, just wished it had been a little cleaner on the inside and unfortunately the prior people who had stayed didnt clean up after their dogs so you had to watch your step around the property. Our biggest complaint overall would definitely be there were lots of bugs on the inside of the cabin that we were constantly killing and or trying to get outside and lots of spider webs on the inside.

Property is in prime location close enough to EVERYTHING but yet still far enough away you still felt like you were in your own little world. Perfect size for me, my husband and our 3 kids. Plus they allow pets with an additional fee!! We had a great time and have already said we would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay,the location was perfect within a few minutes of dollywood and the parkway!! Quiet area also!! Will definitely stay again.

The place had a beautiful view in the front and back. It was like I was at my own home. I didn’t have any complaints of the house.

Large kitchen and comfortable beds. Nice neighborhood with lovely neighbors. Nice front porch. Great Mountain View’s.

Clean, comfortable and great location to the Smokies!

Great place to stay with easy access to everything. Our only problem was soap. Some small hotel like bars for the baths would be great.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Great Escape. The cabin is in an excellent location and the property is very nice. I highly recommend staying here.

The cabin was warm and inviting, very comfortable and clean, and in a great location.

Very cute cabin! Our family enjoyed our stay. It was a convenient location and in a quiet area which was nice. I do feel like the bathrooms could have used a little more attention as far as cleaning, especially the shower curtain and the bathroom floors. Overall it was a nice place to stay. I would recommend this place to family and friends. Overall it wanee

Loved the cabin and the location. It was not far from anything and easy to get to. Access into the cabin and around the first floor was all good. The first floor bathroom however had some access issues. If you use a wheelchair you could not get to the toilet and the sink is very hard to use also. The shower did not have a hand held shower head either which is very useful to those that use a wheelchair. We had to move the furniture around to gain access to the bed in the downstairs bedroom for the wheelchair user. Yes the cabin is accessible for wheelchair users it just is not totally accessible in all areas. Loved sitting on the front porch. It was wide and plenty of room.

Dust, dead bugs, and mold throughout the house. Mold was on the floorboards in the living room, blinds in the kitchen, and downstairs bath where someone obviously tried to paint over water damage to the wall. The logs of the cabin are rough hewn, which gives a more rustic feel, but also makes it very difficult to clean. But it was clear there had been no effort to clean, as there was thick dust on light fixtures, blinds, and windowsills as well as the cobwebs all over the ceiling and walls. One light fixture had a thick layer of dead bugs piled up at the bottom. My daughter found a dead stinkbug in her bed. There is also the issue of wiring in the upstairs bedroom. There is a powerstrip ziptied to the wall, an extension cord across the room, and the ceiling fan has been wired to a cord that plugs into one of the outlets next to the powerstrip. I did not feel safe staying there with my family. VRBO was no help in resolving the situation, and we ended up paying to stay in a motel for the rest of our trip.

This cabin was located in a great area! We were able to get everywhere we needed in our short stay!

So accommodating! Very helpful when we wers traveling during the hurricane
