Gatlinburg Smoky Mountain Cabin ~ 1 Mi to Park!

Reviews

• 1/5

  If you are reading this review to decide is you should stay here or not DO NOT! (unless you want some kind of glamping experience). The pictures show an oven and shove top, and only the stove top works (barely). So if you want to cook food for your family, bring an air fryer or expect to only use the microwave! Next, the toilets struggle to flush, and the showers do not drain water (and were not cleaned) so you will be standing in prior visitors dirty water! Lastly, the owner called me multiple times trying to “figure out” all of these problems saying he would find someone to fix the oven and the bathrooms, yet never got back to me in the end. When i called the number listed for cleaning she told me she doesn’t even work there and has not for a month. So did our cabin even get cleaned? It was disgusting. Dishes were not washed in the dishwasher upon arrival and everything felt greasy. Once again, I called the owner about this and he said he was going to call the cleaner mad. Then, once again never got back to me about it. I am STRESSING to not rent from this owner. (if you are considering make sure to bring your own toilet paper, dish soap, dishwasher pods, cleaning supplies, and maybe an air fryer)

  We sincerely apologize that your stay did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding cleanliness. Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen situation with our previous cleaner, the property was not prepared to the standard we strive for. We completely understand how disappointing and frustrating this must have been during your stay. Please know that the cleaner has since been replaced with a highly experienced professional, and we have taken steps to ensure the home is thoroughly prepared for every guest moving forward. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us address these issues and improve the experience for future stays.

  3/5

  The air bnb was much smaller than the pictures made it seem. HVAC system worked well downstairs, but the upstairs was very warm and stuffy( I was thankful we brought our own box fan- which made it bearable at night). Road leading into cabin is very narrow- other than that pleasant stay.

  From the Owner: "Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come back again!"

  The best thing about this cabin is the view. However, the couches smelled really bad, and one was broken. The beds are uncomfortable, and the covers from one of the beds downstairs smelled badly, like they hadn't been washed. They need to update the A/C unit because it won't keep up. This cabin could be a great stay if they do those updates and do better with the cleaning.

  2/5

  Cabin needs a lot of TLC and has very old smelly furniture. Not a place where I would go again. Communications with the management company were challenging. We got one contact who never replied to any messages and after we checked in we received another contact who helped a bit.Our biggest problem was old broken and smelly furniture. Even rest of the cabin needs renovation. Only saving grace was the location and the views.

  Hi Vinay, we're sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. This is a traditional log cabin located in the mountains, thoughtfully updated with modern amenities including a TV, internet access, and professional cleaning services recommended by Evolve, our property management team. All bed coverings are thoroughly washed after each guest's departure, even in the case of same-day check-ins. Additionally, multiple sets of coverings are available for each of the three beds to ensure guest comfort and cleanliness. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your stay.

  This was a great place to stay. The view was amazing! We spent a lot of time hanging out on the porch. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a stay in the mountains.
