Adequate
The cabin was mostly clean, anything up high (top of fridge, mantle, windows) we pretty dirty- lots of dirt/dust/ dead bugs, etc. There were also dead bugs under the recliner when we scooted it aside. Like many of the reviews stated, the beds were beyond horrible, more along the lines of painful. The setting was beautiful, we saw a family of bears pass by one evening, lots of birds and squirrels to watch! The hot tub was very small, but seemed clean. The instructions posted nearby seem to contradict themselves, however. The first line states the tub has been "drained, cleaned and refilled prior to your stay", then later states if the tub "requires emptying and cleaning, there will be a charge after your stay". The proximity to Gatlinburg is great! The winding road to the top of the mountain is beautiful as well. This cabin as a "home base" is fine. But not somewhere you'd spend leisure time. We left a night early per a unanimous family vote. I feel like a bit of updating and a thorough DEEP cleaning, and maybe a good outdoor power washing could bring up the rating. I understand bears will spread unsecured trash, but there was also a lot of it outside, that looks to have been there a while. My daughter's and i walked around behind the cabin and picked up a much as we could.
