We enjoyed the cabin and the Timber bar on the property. The staff was friendly and attentive.The cabin could use some updates and a little TLC. But, overall it was very spacious, had more than enough amenities to satisfy us. It is close enough to Gatlinburg to walk, approximately a quarter-mile walk. The walk back after dark was not well lit, but the flashlight on our phones was enough. We will definitely stay here again!

Check-in was easy. The home was very comfortable and roomy for our family of 6. We loved the cool architecture and the furnishings were functional as well as attractive. Everything worked great : kitchen, bathrooms, ac, laundry, WiFi. The pool table and hot tub were perfect for relaxing downtime between adventures. Parking on the property was plentiful and the location was easily walkable to the main strip in Gatlinburg which was a huge bonus. Our only concern was that WiFi was not password protected so I stuck with my cellular, just in case.

Overall a great experience. There was a couple things I wished were different. I know it’s a rental but the pool table and foosball are a big part of the stay with kids and the pool sticks needed retipped and there was no ball for foosball.

Nice place. It could use some TLC and updating to finish undone projects...painting, cupboard updates in kitchen and bathrooms, just some shotty repairs left bare and not painted or left with shotty workmanship. Door in kitchen wonky and in need of replacement

We stayed here for 5 nights. The house was just as advertised. The beds were comfortable, hot showers and everything was clean. We were able to walk to town and take the Gatlinburg trail to the visitor center. I love when you can park your car and drive everywhere.

Fall break escape

We loved the location and the house was spacious with everything we needed. The actual setup of the home was a little confusing when it came time to figure out sleeping arrangements for everyone. The bedroom that actually has an attached bathroom is not the bedroom i would actually call the master. But that was honestly my biggest complaint and was easily solved. We loved the location, saw a couple bears, could see the tram go overhead, it was very nice. Yes, there is still construction, but it did not cause me any personal discomfort. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great location and spacious

Shady Woods made a great home base for our family group of 7 for three days. Ten minute walk to the edge of town was nice -- also close to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Beds were very comfortable, too. Nice quiet neighborhood. We all enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, corn hole, foosball, pool table and large screen TV. We cooked all of our dinners in the kitchen, too. Great place!

Security

we had to contact vrbo support to get the get the access code because the host did not respond after hours of asking. Upon arrival, the house was clean, after checking the house we noticed several windows weren’t locked, and privacy is very limited considering all blinds and curtains had either been taken down or cut, which left us feeling unsafe. Overall the stay was good considering the house was clean and we were given all supplies we would need, plus the hot tub and outside area was well kept.

Close to parkway

The location was great! While looking at photos… yes, the furniture has all been updated. However, the actual bones of the house could use some attention. Kind of disappointing that TV’s were not in all bedrooms (we are used to noise and need tv to sleep) so we just didn’t even use 3rd room. The temp in the house doesn’t seem to stay maintained throughout )hot on one side cold on other) But, for location and price it wasn’t bothersome. Just maybe something for property manager to look into. We would still stay again.

Nice Property But Poor Customer Service and Communication From Host

Poor customer service and communication from this host. Inaccurate property description. The house we rented was spacious and clean and close to downtown Gatlinburg. However, the listing stated the house had 2 fireplaces which was a main reason we chose to book it. Upon our arrival, we discovered both fireplaces were welded shut. I sent a message to the host. He didn't reply. I contacted VRBO who was able to get in touch with the host. The host then got back to me, stating, "we will not be opening the fireplace and allowing use as it is against local ordinance for Gatlinburg Fire Code." That is false, as we own two properties in the city with operable wood burning fireplaces and have stayed in several other properties in the city with gas and wood burning fireplaces and outdoor fire pits. The host then updated the listing to reflect the fireplaces are not operable, and offered to let us use a fireplace in a lobby of a lodge they own across the street. At that point it was 6pm on the evening before we were leaving. He later apologized and offered us 20% off our next stay. That did not work for us as we own two of our own properties in the area and usually stay there. Nothing else was offered to make up for this issue. I sent a message back to the host and he did not reply. This is poor customer service and communication on the host's part. I will not stay in an Ayres owned vacation rental again.

Property is okay

My family and I stayed from December 20th to Jan 2nd. This property has great potential but as some of the other reviewers put it is on top of a construction site. We we were told that you could not even see the construction and would never hear them. Bright and early the next day you could hear the nail gun go off. I was told that the property would be decorated for Christmas and it was not. We had issues with the sink and dishwasher. Not to mention the cleaning crew showed up on December 31st stating that we were supposed to have been checked out and got snippy with my husband when he told them that we were there until January 2nd. At that point my husband and I decided to leave early the next day because we did not feel safe and was worried that we would leave and find our stuff tossed out. There was also issues with someone dumping chlorine tabs outside the hot tub and our dog got ahold of it. There is also a family owned cemetery in the back. There was other issues too, that I in talk with the rental company on. I also took pictures and videos of everything before and when we checked out. At this point I want my security deposit back and feel like there should be refund of some sort back to us. Side note. You have a great few of the space needle and the fireworks going off, and there is a bear around the property.

The location and space was great, we had a great time with the whole family there. Six adults and two 1year old babies. The friendly neighborhood bear(Freddy) was a fun treat to have around every night. Gave us the full Gatlinburg experience. Only things that would of made this place 5 stars for us was to have extra blankets to use in the living room. Enough outlets for everyone to use their recliners, one set of outlets for 4 recliners. And a better stocked kitchen- specifically a larger skillet and a spatula would of been nice to have.
