The location was perfect to Smoky Mountain Country Club and Sequoyah National Golf Club. Lots of space to accommodate guests and well-maintained. The upstairs definitely is cozier, but the basement was adequate as well.

Excellent rental!

Outstanding rental! Plenty of room. The house was clean and had everything we needed to cook food. The beds were comfortable. The pool table and hot tub were a nice extra! The property was beautiful. The steep windy driveway added a cool rugged feel. I would definitely stay here again!

Not what I was expecting

The cabin was really dirty. Some sheets were missing. The house is really divided in 3 parts and you have to go out to go to another one. In the basement, it’s reaaly old and you don’t want to use the bathroom…

The house itself was nice overall. The kids enjoyed having their own space and so did we. The driveway was very scary, nowhere to go but off the mountain if you pass someone. We all ended up with folliculitis from the hot tub probably due to the PH levels not being right.

Please do not be deceived by the pictures. This house is very run down. No hot water in the downstairs bathroom and soft spot in front of shower. Dishwasher didn't clean or dry the dishes. Fridge leaked water in the bottom.All linen was stained and dinghy, towels were not clean . Wifi nor the cable worked . The hot tub was disgusting to the point we had to tell the children they couldn't go back in after getting rashes. The stove also didn't have all eyes working, and both upstairs bathrooms showers the heads leaked and had no water pressure at all. And last but certainly not least the road getting up there was in horrible shape , we have stayed at higher elevation places before with way less trouble. This place is pretty from a distance, but don't let that fool you .

We enjoyed our stay, however there are some things I feel would help make peoples stay here more accommodating. A stocked kitchen is best when renting out a place. Just some key examples: there are no Pot holders, Wine glasses, or lighter. Only a few plates, glasses and bowls. Very limited utensils in general.Also, the refrigerator leaks water. Onto downstairs, the basement shower leaks BAD! This is a hazard for mold and in the bedroom with the twin beds, the beds are un-even. I know that’s not a huge deal, but if you want to push them together it’s definitely not ideal. Our WiFi didn't work the entire time we were there, despite us unplugging the modem several times. Therefore, the tvs didn't work either (Roku). The direct tv is a little slow (I think maybe just the remote) in the playroom area. Last thing, there were some things that were broken upon arrival: One of the pool sticks and the closet door in king bedroom. We more than likely will not be renting out this place again because of the weird layout, but overall I give it an 6 out of 10. The place as a whole and hot tub was very clean.

July 4th vacation

Navigating the curvy gravel road to Hollow's End required careful driving but the payoff was so worth it. The property afforded plenty of space for parking. The outside is well maintained. This cabin has all the comforts of home. Upon entering there was no stale/musky smell as if it hadn't been used in a while. Someone had labeled the light switches, so we knew what switch operated what. Our son enjoyed the rec room with the pool table. Along with the pool table there is a tv and lounging area in the rec room. Although we didn't use the additional rooms in the basement (and don't let the word basement fool you they were very nice rooms and a great bathroom) there was plenty of room for everyone. The hot tub on the deck (which was very clean) had a great view.

Dont stay here

Worst experience Ive had ever. We have been renting cabins for over 5 years now and I have never seen what I saw when I arrived. Nothing was like the pictures at all. There were no outside lightbulbs. The inside didnt get any better, top part the fridge smelled really bad like someone had left something go bad for days. Bottom part the key wasnt in the lock box it was found by a child on the ground. There wasnt any safety railing on the bottom part. Going inside was worst, the sheets on the beds werent cleaned they were dirty. There were spider webs under the beds they werent cleaned, the jacuzzi was dirty also. Nothing was clean all the rooms had something wrong, we didnt even spend the night. The owner was contacted but nothinf was done about it. Worst experience ever.

Nice house, but...

The dishes were dirty, the game room floor looked like it has never been mopped, the bathroom downstairs was filthy: spit/toothpaste on the mirror and faucet and shower was not cleaned, and the downstairs beds were not made, as the cleaner was still there when we arrived around 4:20ish and was saying that the last people were not supposed to be down there. Then she asked if I would put the towels in the dryer.. not that big of a deal as I had no problem doing that, but after seeing the review from before us...I just thought it should be mentioned.. The hot tub never got to temperature and I looked in the guest book that said if it needed to be refilled from the previous stay then it would take 24 hours to heat back up and that this was not cause for a refund, however, I have now seen the review from the guest before us that states that it is broken, I would like a refund on the hot tub. The shower heads were really low in the main guest rooms. I know that would be a semi difficult fix but a removable shower head isn't necessarily a fix all for that. Its hard to wash your hair with one hand.

Nice place needs a little TLC

Plenty of room. Nicely located for what we were doing. The rec room was our favorite but the pool table needs to be leveled. Not enough flatware for a larger group.

It is run down. Do not trust the pictures.

The property was safe. Warm. Had electricity and running water. That is where the positives end. I took the extra step of even emailing vacasa to confirm the hot tub would be working. Was told it would be and it was literally filled with rocks, leaves and debris. The game room had a dilapidated pool table that has two broken legs, no functional sticks and the felt table is destroyed. It also has a ping pong table top that has no functional net. The place was pretty terrible. I’d never stay there again nor trust a vacasa listing. Do not believe the pictures.

We were all excited to have the hot ton that was one of the reasons we chose this cabin only to be disappointed that it had no water and was full of leaves.

The house was just what we were looking for our first blended family vacation. Two items to address: there was not enough silverware and place settings for everyone. If the house sleeps 8, there should be place settings for 8. I get not everyone cooks on vacation but it should be considered. Secondly the wifi...it should be clear that it's only 5 gigs to share for a week and if you get there after another family was there you are SOL. We did have a broken showerhead upon arrival, but as soon as I called someone was there in 30 minutes to replace it. Overall I was happy and would stay again.

Our stay

The booklet at the property said to let them know of any issues or damage at the property upon arrive and yet never seen a number or way to contact them. We had even took pictures but no place to send. Holes in walls from doors, a few hot tub jets not working, one toilet seat clip broken, hole in back of chair from we’re assuming the edge of the fire place.

Loved the cabin! Finding it is a little tricky, but once found you don't forget how to get to it. The cabin in far enough away from the city that you don't hear traffic, but close enough that should you need anything it's only 10 minutes away. I would definitely stay again

Not the greatest experience

Upon arrival, the front door was wide open and a vacuum cleaner was lying in the middle of the living room floor. The hot tub didn’t work. There were flea like insects in the downstairs bedrooms, not to mention that the downstairs bedrooms and bathroom were more like a dungeon than a rental property. My group comes to this area every year for the same type of trip, there are far better cabins to stay in for the money in this area.

Cherokee Trip

The cabin is located minutes from downtown Cherokee. It is also to it's self. Was nice and quiet. However two of the four bedrooms are outside of the main house down stairs. And the driveway is very unpaved, very steep, and there is only room for one vehicle to travel at a time. So if you meet someone on the way up or down you might have an issue. would recommend 4whl drive for rainy or snowy days.

Crazy Layout

This was a very clean, nice property. A few things though: 1) the house is broken into three sections that are not connected. I don’t know if the listing tells you this but it’s just not convenient. If you have small children they will be separated from you. You have to walk outside to go downstairs to the other bedrooms. 2) The road to access this place is CRAZY narrow. If one car is going up and another is coming down at the same time it’s going to be a BIG problem. This road was scary. 4x4 is necessary if you ask me. Idk if all mountain roads are like this?!? 3) Had trouble with the heat downstairs too. Management did give us three space heaters which we appreciated and there were lots of blankets. Just some small things for the next family who stays.
