Great place!
Great place to stay! The pool and hot tub were wonderful to come back to after a long day of sightseeing and shopping in Gatlinburg. The cabin was really clean and communication with the host was wonderful. Full disclosure, there is a compost factory down the street which we could smell from time to time but, We would 100% rent again!

Trashy-LITERALLY
Cabin overlooks the local trash dump. You can smell the rotting trash when you open the door to go outside. Ever time my 4 year old grandson had to go to the car, he almost threw up. While the cabin itself was beautiful and everything that was described, the overwhelming smell of rotting trash kept us from enjoying the outdoor balconies, the hot tub, and any of the fresh Mountain air we were looking forward to. For the premium price we paid for this weekend getaway ($2k+), I was sorely disappointed. I would NOT recommend this cabin to anyone, and have lost trust in VRBO!
