House was clean and exactly as described in the listing. Communication leading up to check in and during stay was great and timely. There was an issue was shower temperature regulation in the showers with only 1 dial. Kitchen has ants so you cannot put any food out on kitchen counter, including anything sitting on counter.

Our family of 7 adults really enjoyed our 4 night stay. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife & having the close proximity to GSMNP. It was also great to have ample parking and bathrooms! Many enjoyed the hot tub (even in the rain), the rockers on the back deck & a fully stocked kitchen as we did cook every day. The master bed is made for back & stomach sleepers as it is very firm, but some of the others were softer. Do plan to bring any consumables as noted —especially if you plan to cook (plastic wrap, baggies, dishwasher & dish soap, storage containers, etc.). Stephan was a good and responsive host and was very attentive when we needed some help. We would recommend this property and host.

My family rents in the Smoky's a few times per year & have for the last 25 yrs. I rented this for my wife, daughter, nieces for a girls weekend. They all said it was fantastic. This was the most well stocked, clean cabin we've ever rented according to my wife. Stephan & Kate were very responsive and very open on communication. Only downfall was cell service was sketchy & that's not necessarily a bad thing. Would absolutely rent from them again.
