Relaxing
The property is very cozy. It is as described, but i would like to point out it's advertised as one level which is true, but there are 4 stairs to get in and out. I did not see that on listing that was difficult for me. Throughly enjoyed the hot tub.

Wonderful Stay
We loved the layout of the cabin and the ameneties were great. It was close to town, easily accessible and very cozy. We would consider staying again if and when we were to visit the area again. Thank you for your hospitality. One interesting thing was the two beds on either side of the arcade game, great for a family with kids. We had my mentally handicapped sister with us on vacation and she slept in one of the beds and loved it. She really enjoyed herself. Thanks again.

Enjoyed my quick trip to Gatlinburg. Recommend directions for tvs in rooms for setting up- so others know they must completely log into wifi as a guest. Make sure they log previous guest out first. Also, two chairs on back deck would be nice other than a bar stools so you can sit in a regular seat.

Shower…
The shower is gross! Black mold all over doors…When I told the owners, they pretty much ignored me, if they would’ve responded they would fix it asap, I wouldn’t have written a review! Besides that, everything was good, but that is a dealbreaker for me.
