Smokies Cabin on Douglas Lake w/ Resort Pool

Reviews

• 2/5

  In short, the cabin is tired and it shows no effort is put in. We were disappointed. The towels were folded nicely, and the contact person was responsive and friendly, this is the extent of the hospitality provided. One pack of coffee, no sugar or cream provided, no batteries in the remote or directions of how to use the DVD player. The cabin needs a good cleaning. Cobwebs, carpets and other floors all look like it's been a while since they have been cleaned well. The kitchen is poorly stocked. There isn't enough cutlery for the number of people the cabin sleeps. All cleaning supplies, toilet paper and paper towels are cheap quality. We were given 2 rolls of toilet paper for two bathrooms, and 4 people and stayed 10 nights. Exterior lights did not work, making our late evening check-in hard. Hot Tub has a layer of film on it. We would have appreciated knowing before booking that the pool was closed for the season, as this was a major reason for booking the cabin and we were disappointed to find this out upon arrival.

  4/5

  Cabin was very secluded and private which was nice. A bit of a drive to and from anywhere but that is not a fault of the cabin, just here for knowledge of those reading. It is very cozy with a great selection of movies to watch and games to play. The wrap around porch allows for a nice view of the wooded scenery. I would love to give this cabin a 5 however there were a few issues with cleanliness. The shower we used had hair left on the wall and did not drain due to the amount of hair and debris clogging the drain, which I manually cleared to make sure the water would drain properly. While I do understand that a hot tub is human soup to an extent, the settled dirt on the bottom before anyone had used it during our visit was a little off putting. It made me question how often it is cleaned and water changed. I do understand that it is a hot tub outside and dirt is possible, so we didn’t let that stop us from using it. I would recommend this cabin for those that want a private and comfortable experience, just maybe go to the club pool that is included for any water activities.
