Cabin Name: Higher Ground

FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $20 per stay Damage Waiver Fee to every customer. It is automatically included in your rate. This covers our guests for up to $350 worth of accidental damage should damage occur during their stay. If damage occurs to the cabin, furnishings, etc, please report it to management as soon as possible so that the damage can be repaired. You may opt out of paying the $20 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit.

Common Concerns:
*Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy, mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins require a 4 wheel drive under normal weather conditions but some do in inclement weather.
*TV & WiFi: We do have TV's and WiFi in most all of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem.
*Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away and unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt or approach any wildlife. This is their home and we are the visitors.
*There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc.

Nice cabin for the price

Bailey and Cathy quick to respond to issues. Problem with Comcast. Bailey called and had the issue resolved with Comcast. Guest should bring extra paper towels and toilet paper. Also bring extra blankets if you want them. I didn't see any in the cabin. Also spices, condiments. Other cabins I have stayed in have salt, pepper and sugar. Very little in this cabin. Quiet area. Driveway is steep. I have a RAV4 4x4 Hybrid 4 cylinder. I was able to make it up the driveway. I had my doubts, but we made it! I would stay in this cabin again. Thank you Bailey and Cathy for allowing us to stay in your cabin.

Extended weekend stay

Very nice and clean. Located near where we wanted to be. Excellent communication from property manager. As former owners of vacation rental properties, mountain and beach, we disagree with the requested additional tipping for cleaning. We have already paid for that service. If you have a great cleaning team, then the owners and or property managers should give out bonuses as appropriate.

Higher Ground is perfect for anyone needing easy access into the cabin.

There is only one short step up onto the porch, which worked great for my elderly Dad. This was our 2nd time staying and we love everything about it. Spacious, quiet, all the amenities like home, and close to Cade's Cove. Will definitely stay again!

Vacay

Our cabin was very nice. We really enjoyed our stay. A couple of things.... dishwasher needs to be replaced as it didn't clean dishes well and the main thing was we were disappointed when we arrived that our cabin was decorated for fall and not Christmas....my granddaughter called it our fall cabin. Please don't get me wrong it was very nice we just expected Christmas tree and Christmas decorations with it being December. :)

Tiny Cabin

This cabin is one of the best by far. We call it the Tiny Cabin because the 1st time we stay here there was a stuffed black bear on the stair rail overlooking the living room. Bears are big and strong...but we wanted to give a sweet and small name. Lol

Cute and cozy

The cabin was exactly as advertised! The front porch entrance was great. It was only a small step up onto the porch from the front door. This was especially great since my mother who is a little older had no issues coming and going. The cabin was clean and very inviting. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots and pans, plates and silverware needed for cooking. The dishwasher is a plus! The living room area is spacious enough and very comfy. The front porch was great to sit on early in the mornings. We enjoyed watching the many chipmunks and squirrels busy at work. The bedroom downstairs was very accommodating for my mother who didn’t want to climb stairs. She was able to have her own bedroom with a large king size bed. The downstairs also had a nice bathroom with a tub and shower combo. The upstairs bedroom was a nice size with a large king size bed. The upstairs bathroom had a VERY large jet tub and a nice walk in shower. The loft area had a nice entertainment area with an air hockey table and checkerboard table. There was also a washer and dryer in the downstairs bathroom nicely hidden. Overall, I have nothing but good things to say. It was very clean and that is always most important to me. It was very convenient to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to be able to enjoy the peaceful mountain appeal. We most definitely want to come back and stay again.

Great Place to Stay

The cabin was great! We found it to be clean and comfortable. We did not spend alot of time at the cabin as we were in the area to help with a destination wedding. The downstairs bed was really comfortable, which was very important to us. (We have had some bad experiences with beds in some of the VRBO homes we have rented). This one did NOT disappoint. I can't say what the bed upstairs was like as we did not use that bedroom. The kitchen was fairly well stocked. If you plan to do most of your own cooking, you may want to bring a favorite pan or 2. For this trip it was not a huge issue as we did not do any cooking. We only heated breakfast food we brought already prepared. We did not find any of the hidden dollars, good luck to the next visitor...... nor did we see any of the friendly bears others wrote about in the guest book. I would definitely stay at this little piece of heaven in the mountains again.

Wonderful Mountain Cabin

We had a GREAT time! The cabin was clean, welcoming and we felt at home while we were there. It is a great location to all the local sites (we were there for hiking.) I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone who would like to visit the area. A plus - the neighbors were very nice also.

Everything as advertised.

House was very nice...very peaceful setting, bed was a bit stiff for our liking. There was a Jeep Invasion going on which caused traffic issues (no fault of hosts). Perfect place to stay if you are attending. Would definitely stay again, just different weekend. I hear the annual Rod Run (car show) can be similar in traffic issues.

family vacation

upon arrival the cabin was very pretty, quite and peaceful. The inside of the cabin had the feeling of home - very inviting and comfortable easy to get settled in. Although we did have a few things that need to be fixed upon arrival like the battery replaced for the smoke detector, and hair still in the bathtub on the main floor from the previous tenants. I would like to give a big shoutout to ( Danny & Letha ) for coming an replacing the battery, they was very nice and ask if there was anything else . Other than a few miner things the cabin was great I will be recommending this cabin to other friends and family. We had a great time visiting the Smokies Mountains, Cades Cove, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
