We had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed our stay! There was plenty of room to spread out, relax, and take in the view of Gatlinburg from the back porch. We even rode the coaster to see the place from that view. Had a great time!

There must be a new property management or something because they used to have a lot of towels there and it was very clean the last time we went in March. This time there was cobwebs in about every bathroom you can tell the cleaners are just surface cleaning. Two towels reach bathroom. I feel bad that the owners probably have not come in a while because also the roof has gutter issues. The gutters are so bad and have weeds growing out of it when you walk in the door. One of the weeds is so big that it’s probably3 tall on a gutter. If anyone of property management or cleaning people cared they would’ve addressed it, but you can tell they have not. We love the location, of course and had a great time with the family. It’s just sad to see it go downhill so quickly. I’m not gonna send all the pictures I have, but I do recommend the owners going to check it out. Thank you
