2 night couples stay

This new property is amazing. A gem just off the beaten path from downtown Gatlinburg. The only hiccup being that somehow my cell phone didn't make it from Hotels/Expedia to the property, so the check-in code for the room wasn't texted to me. So I had to call the property's main number. But the property and room are incredible. Feels like an outdoor cabin. The fire pits in the middle are a nice touch!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
If I could give 0 stars, I would. I’ll try to keep it short. I booked one night through the Expedia app. Upon checking in, the host knocked on my door aggressively, telling me I couldn’t stay with my service dog, Milky. She was extremely rude and insisted I leave the property. Shortly after, the manager Patrick called me, saying I had to leave because I didn’t notify them in advance about the dog. However, nowhere during the booking process did it state that prior notice was required. I submitted all the proper documentation for my service animal, yet the general manager still called me questioning why my dog was a service animal — absolutely unacceptable and discriminatory. In the end, we stayed, but the cabin itself was very disappointing. The bed was awful, the bathroom was dirty with a hole in the ceiling and hair all over the floor (check the photos). Also, they advertise breakfast, but don’t be fooled — it’s not included. All they offer is water, juice, and cereal — everything else must be purchased. Avoid this place. Terrible experience.

Great alternative to Gatlinburg norm

Nice newer place to stay and a great alternative to the other options in Gatlinburg. We wanted to be close to the park and in a quieter part of town which ticked both boxes for us. We unfortunately didn’t utilize the bar or breakfast options- the latter which I don’t think was communicated very well. We left early both days so it didn’t affect us either. The finishes in the room are super nice and the bathrooms are lovely! The doors are creaky so we got woken up when folks left real early (W940?). Also, the door had a shade but they are not black out and the outdoor/flood lights are very bright and I feel like that would be an easy fix!

We loved our stay! It was peaceful and the atmosphere was amazing. We had a hiccup with the shower drain on night one but the staff were quick to fix it. The only suggestion I would have is curtains in the bedroom to block out the security light that turned on and off all night. At the end of the day all the hiccups and lights were the rock bottom on my list.
