Makin Waves: Indoor Pool, S/Secluded, Pet-Friendly, Games, Hot Tub, near all major attractions!

Makin Waves is a beautiful, semi-secluded, pet-friendly log cabin with a fabulous indoor swimming pool. This log cabin has been elegantly and tastefully decorated with many thoughtful details and is located near Gatlinburg and all the attractions, dining and shopping found there.

A game room, fully equipped kitchen, dining room and living room make up the main level arrangement. The game room features a pool table, electronic dartboard, spectator chairs and a 26 inch HD LCD TV with a DVD player. Adjoining the game room is a half bathroom and a laundry closet. The rest of the main level has an open floor plan and vaulted windows that set the stage for the living area, fully equipped, modern kitchen and a cozy dining area with seating for four. Relax on the leather sleeper sofa and recliner to enjoy your favorite movies on a state of the art 42 inch HD LCD TV with DVD player set above the gas fireplace. The door from the living area leads out to a roomy deck highlighting the lush forest. Savor the memories and relax in the six person hot tub located on this deck.

The upper level is an open loft, thoughtfully decorated for a romantic retreat. It features a king size bed, a heart shaped jetted tub for two that sits in a cozy alcove overlooking the view and additional luxuries including a 24 inch HD LCD TV with a DVD player and a full bathroom with shower.

However, for an idyllic experience, head down to the lower level and your own private oasis. Enjoy the indoor, 7 ft 6 inches x 16 ft swimming pool, with a depth of about 4 ft 6 inches. The clever design of this room includes the fossil murals and two chaise lounges that await your leisure. Out on the lower level deck there are four rocking chairs.

There is WiFi throughout the cabin for your convenience.

Minutes from Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Awesome stay!
The only issue we had was we didn't get the code to get in the property until 6pm, 2 hours after our check in time. I had to call twice to get it, nobody got ahold of me. Other than that everything was great!

Bad Experience
When we arrived at 4:15pm Monday, we had no service to get the code for the door. Then when we drove away from property and got the code, we drove back, code didn’t work. They finally unlocked it remotely, and we were not able to lock it back when we left to go somewhere. I called for two days straight to get them to come out nothing. Then, I was able to use the Wi-Fi for internet so I could do my work, there is no box for the internet at the cabin. Pool in the cabin was nice I will say that, but it put me 2 days behind on my work. Not worth the cost I would say.

No internet - no cell coverage - no view - horrible mistake to rent.
Listing showed internet but upon arrival we discovered there was none. And zero cell coverage (AT&T or Verizon) or landline. Had to travel 12 minutes away just to call the management company (very friendly and understanding but acknowledged the internet was a known problem well before we arrived and did not notify us in advance or during check in). There was literally no way to make an emergency call aside from smoke signals (and considering the fireplace was ‘closed for the season’ that wasn’t even an option). The owner and management company knew this in advance and opted to not tell us. The hot tub also didn’t work (87 degrees when we arrived - 87 degrees when we left) so we didn’t even get to use that. I noticed after the fact that previous renter noted the same (posted after our arrival) and response suggested it was addressed - it wasn’t. We stayed one night (were scheduled for 10) because we arrived late and had no choice. We couldn’t reach Timber Tops until the following morning. We canceled the remainder of our stay (thanks for ruining our 30th anniversary) and were refunded all but the one night (plus booking fee, and cleaning fee, and, and, and…) so spending about 10 hours there cost us over eleven hundred dollars. The cabin itself: poolroom was hot and the pool was cold. Kind of a creepy room in person BTW. The sole bed was reasonably comfortable but tv channels were basic only - what you might expect from a cheap motel. The cabin itself was clean and reasonably comfortable but absolutely zero basic initial needs were provided (soap, shampoo, initial coffee, etc) so less than you would expect from a cheap motel. Get the picture? We have been going to the Smokies for 30 years. Early on we couldn’t afford more than a one room cabin but as we got older, we have been lucky enough to upgrade over the years. Nothing about this place should be considered an ‘upgrade’ and unless you just robbed a bank (a bank with a lot of money) and need a hideout, I would highly recommend avoiding this place. Oh also, microwave turntable doesn’t actually turn (superheats food on one spot while the rest stays frozen) and the ice maker doesn’t dispense ice (and the tray is also screwed into the freeze so you can only grab a few pieces at a time). This review may seem like something from a disgruntled employee but I assure you every word is true. If I were being completely honest, this review would be much more colorful but unfit for public consumption.

Wasted money
We saved up to stay at this place. Hot tub did not work and had a green scum all over it. Was told that was pollen. It was mildew. Toilet on main level hadn't been cleaned in ages. It was covered in mildew. Swimming pool room was a science project. We stayed one night and left and took a loss(because service manager couldn't find a replacement place and didnt seem to eager to help) to rent from another company( cabins for you)

Romantic Getaway
My husband and I just loved this place! It was in a convenient location close to everything, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It was the perfect spot to spend our honeymoon! The cabin was dusty in a few places and we saw some cob webs and dead bugs, but we were in a wooded area where that is to be expected. The hot tub, jacuzzi tub, and pool were just what we were looking for to relax and unwind after days of sightseeing and enjoying all the activities of the day. Would definitely recommend this place to others, and we loved and enjoyed our stay at Makin Waves!

Cabin was cool, timber tops staff was not!
The cabin was okay, pretty clean, and the location was good. There was no internet however, despite being advertised. We tele-commute, and this was a huge problem for us. Timber Tops staff was unconcerned with our need for internet to do our jobs and lied repeatedly to us about why the internet was not working. It was out for our entire stay. After claiming to try to reach the cabin owner, and not calling us back with any updates, the staff finally said the issue was an outage in the area. After calling the internet provider, they reported no outages in the area. We contacted Timber tops staff and informed them that we contacted the internet provider. They assured the internet would be working by days end. That was day 3 of our stay and at check out on day 5, still no internet and not even a call/update from Timber Tops staff. Very unprofessional and seemingly unconcerned with the experience of guests. Would not rent through them again.
