The Higher the Hair - 2BR Condo for 4 facing Park, Wifi

The communication from the host before arrival was excellent — clear directions, parking details, and check-in info. The view from the condo was the highlight: stunning sunsets over the mountains and a great look at Gatlinburg at night. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives mostly ended.When we arrived, we were surprised to find the exterior of the building under construction — scaffolding, tools, broken boards, and nails scattered around. Not exactly what you expect when hauling luggage in. Inside, my first thought was, “Why are all the pictures crooked, and are those dirty socks hanging in the closet?” My daughter ended up straightening the artwork herself.The place felt grimy — sticky remotes, multiple burnt-out lightbulbs, and a persistent urine smell in the master bath. The toilet constantly refilled from a tank leak, and the tub faucet dripped nonstop. Every window blind was missing its pull cord, and the one in front of the toilet didn’t even cover the window fully — not ideal when you’re eye level with the parking lot.Flooring was chipped and uneven, with soft spots you could feel underfoot. Someone thought it was a good idea to use wood trim inside the shower, which tells you a lot. The mattresses werecheap foam — one topper was literally torn apart, and the other sounded like a washboard every time someone moved.You can hear everything from the upstairs unit. Overall, it felt like a half-finished DIY project.We left the dirty socks, they werent ours.

The place looked exactly as pictured. It’s not big but perfect for family of 4. Place had everything you needed. Hostess replied right away to my messages. It has breathtaking view of the mountains. The drive up to the place is a bit steep since its seats high on the mountain. It’s about 10 minutes right to all Gatlinburg attractions

The condo was nice, plenty of room and had everything we needed. The view was amazing.

Exactly as described! Cute, just the right size and amenities, with an amazing view! We will be back!

If you enjoy a mountain view this is your spot! Just remember it comes with the trip up the mountain, which you do get used to! It was easy access to the strip and pigeon forge which we visited daily. The host was very easy to communicate with and prompt. We traveled with a 1 year old and 5 year old. A pack n play fit nicely in the master bedroom. It was nice to be able to shut doors to bedrooms and bathrooms as 1 year olds are into everything! We also enjoyed the indoor/outdoor pool that was on the property a few times!

The view was incredible. The majority of the unit was reasonably clean but one of the bathrooms had a lot of mold. We told the owner right away but they didn’t send anyone to clean it for days and action wasn’t taken until I said this would be reflective in my review. There was a mouse infestation somewhere in the walls that made sleeping difficult the last 2 nights, and we saw 2 mice in the kitchen. We alerted the owners right away. They wanted to send pest control the last evening we were there and I declined bc I had no idea how long they would be there trying to deal with this and we had to get ready to leave and try to sleep. In hindsight it may not have mattered bc we got intermittent sleep due to the loud noises from the mice at night. When I said it was unacceptable that we had a moldy shower we couldn’t use for the first 3 days the owners messaged me saying I’m sorry you feel that way. That bathroom still had moldy caulking around the sink but after being cleaned probably we could at least use the shower for the remainder of our trip. While the owners were very rude to us and didn’t make these issues a priority the manager from Smokies Time was excellent to work with, when we finally were able to speak with her. She is the one who finally got the shower cleaned and brought us a nice gift as an apology for the inconvenience. However, again the owners were extremely rude to us in their messages the entire time. I would recommend using Smokies Time but avoiding these owners.

Had a great time, listing is very accurate communication prior to arrival was top notch! Thanks

A great location for our family of 4 to visit Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

Awesome experience, would stay again
