We love hearing that Memory Maker was the perfect cabin to enjoy your time in the Smokies, Nagababu! We would love to have the opportunity to serve you again soon!
Everything was great. The beds were comfy, had everything you would need for the kitchen. Really nice place. Love the screen porch. Nice tomato out there and have your cup of whatever and look at the mountains. Here’s my petty stuff that’s not a deal breaker I would stay here again if available. The ice maker doesn’t work good so bring your own ice. The exhaust fan in the bathroom w 2 beds doesn’t work. The rug in the living room is a trip hazard, one corner is flipped up and won’t go down.
It was very clean when we got thete. We loved the decoration that it has. We loved staying there, would be coming back soon!

We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at Memory Maker Gatlinburg, Deborah! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us, and we would love to host your future adventure to the Smoky Mountains!
The condo was great. The views are wonderful. The only negatives were that the bathtub in the secondary bedroom was not clean….very dirty and the ice maker did not work.

We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the condo and the beautiful views! We truly appreciate your feedback and apologize for the issues with the bathtub and ice maker. Your comments are valuable, and we’ll definitely address them to improve future stays. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
They weren't exactly upfront about the steepness of the mountain but we absolutely loved it. There were a few things that need repairs. The views are amazing and so worth the climb.

It’s wonderful to hear you loved the views despite the climb! We understand how the mountain's steepness can be a bit unexpected, and we truly appreciate your feedback. The repairs are definitely something we’ll look into right away to ensure future guests have a smooth experience. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us!
The place was decent and the price fair. We were so excited about the tub but you only get enough hot water to fill it up half way. Be careful booking in the winter, you are going up the mountain!!

It’s wonderful to hear that you found the cabin to be a decent stay at a fair price, Deborah! We understand how enjoyable it can be to have a tub to relax in, so we’re sorry to hear that the hot water supply wasn’t sufficient to fill it completely. That’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide for our guests, and we regret that this affected your stay.
You also raised an important point about winter travel—mountain roads can be challenging. We always encourage our guests to be prepared for the drive. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas for improvement. Thank you for sharing your experience!
This was a comfortable place to stay for our family of 5. It was neat and clean. Our three kids shared the room with 2 queen beds and my husband and I enjoyed the master bedroom. We liked that there were TVs in each room. The kitchen was spacious. The view from the balcony was beautiful! We spent a lot of time on the couch there, looking out at Mt. LeConte. We would stay here again.

Katharine, we're so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! We'd love to host you again in the future for another great stay in the Smokies.
The view from our condo was beautiful 😍. We stayed in the “memory maker” condo in Gatlinburg TN. I’m giving 4 stars because our bath tube in our master bedroom was a little dirty when we arrived. I think it was because the tub was clogged. I emailed them to let them know the issue but until know I haven’t received any response.

We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful view from our Memory Maker condo in Gatlinburg, Carmen! We're truly sorry for the inconvenience with the cleanliness of the bath tub. Rest assured, we're looking into this matter immediately to ensure it doesn't happen again. Thank you for bringing it to our attention and we would love to serve you again soon!
We are not smart tv literate. The tv took us several hours to be able to get the game. Not user friendly. Had to buy subscription for 1 game. Otherwise great trip. Would be nice to have extra light bulbs.
Nice property and we had a great time.
We had 4 adults and 2 children, ages 11 1/2 and 2 1/2 staying at Making Memories. The drive up to the place and leaving on the last day was a little challenging considering we were pulling a 4'x8' U-Haul trailer behind a large SUV. Some or the turns were sharp and steep, but we made it. The neighborhood was nice and parking lot was flatter which was nice since we had to park the car and trailer. The parking lot had plenty of spaces. The landscaping, trees, and scenery around the place was serene and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub several times. The actual condo was very nice. There were stairs, but luckily, we could hand stuff down from the wall in the parking lot instead of dragging everything down the stairs. The AC worked well, and the place had nice rooms. We enjoyed the patio and living room overlooking the mountains and trees! It was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked, and we used it many times to make meals. The washer and dryer in the unit was also handy a couple of times for washing towels and swimsuits. The bedrooms were a good size. The King bed was a little slanted toward the head, but the mattress was good. We suggest bigger and more pillows. The bathtub near the King room easily stopped up though. We suggest getting new white bath towels. They were a little rough. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! We even saw a few bears on our vacation, even in the neighborhood! Thank you!

On top of the mountain
The condo is spacious and nicely designed including 2BR and 2 BA with the master bathroom with two rooms and two sinks. See the sunrise from the screened in porch. It was quiet and we did not hear neighbors.
The management company cabins for you did not have the condo ready for use as dishes and silverware in the cabinets were dirty, kitchen table legs so loose it nearly collapsed, a full can of recycled cans left in kitchen, food stains on chairs, and no std coffee maker as reported (keurig only). Also, visitors need some written directions for the wonderful large smart TV as it has two remote controls and runs Samsung TV channels.
A cabins for you welcome kit provided 1 dishwasher pod, 1 coffee pod for a std coffee maker, 1 roll of low quality paper towel, a sponge and sink dish soap for our 4 day stay. I would preferred to pay an extra $25, and have 4 dishwasher pods , extra paper towels, and the correct keurig coffee pods ( or at least communicated there was only a keurig so pods could be purchased prior to the first morning without coffee!). The cabins for you wi-fi was too slow and streamed movies buffered which required restarting the router and movie several times. Of note, there are no exhaust fans in the bathrooms.
After overcoming these avoidable issues, we had an enjoyable trip including hiking in the smokies and many of the activities in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge!

Doug, thank you for sharing your experience at Memory Maker - GB with us. We hate to hear that you encountered many issues with us. From meeting cleanliness issues, along with WiFi that was not strong, issues with operating the television, loose legs on the kitchen table, and misinformation about the coffee maker in the property, we completely understand your frustration as we strive to provide a stress-free getaway for our guests. Though it is stated in our pre-arrival email that is sent out about three days before your check-in date that we only provide a starter amount of items in our guest starter bag, we do apologize if this information was not clear enough. Though we wish we had the opportunity to address these matters during your stay, we appreciate you bringing them to our attention, and we have shared your feedback with the correct departments to ensure your concerns are looked into. Overall, we are pleased that you had a fantastic time with us, and we would love to host a more enjoyable getaway for you and your guests in the near future!
