R &R in the Smokies

We were impressed with the efficiency of the owner and his detail of the property and how to use it to our comfort. It was comfortable for two adults.Everything functioned as expected, access was a breeze and it was clean! We only recommend new couches, they were sufficient for our needs, but are losing their comfortability. Excellent property at at very reasonable fee. Thank you.

Truly lovely little condo!

The condo was so cute and typically -Gatlinburg! The bear decor was so nice and kitschy, and we saw 2 bear cubs with their momma at the bottom of Deer Ridge when we first turned in upon arrival, so the scene was set! The views were AMAZING and the bed was really comfy. The only complaint is there wasn't a skillet in the condo. But we will definitely be returning!

We’ve stayed at various condos at Deer Ridge over the years, and always have had a very enjoyable experience. The pool is always very clean, there’s on site coin laundry available. My one complaint regarding this specific condo is the lack of cooking utensils. It didn’t have a simple frying pan or spatula to cook eggs or pancakes or anything like that. Beyond that, the condo was very clean and well kept.

Good for what we needed

Great view!! We really just needed a place to shower and sleep each night and spent our whole days hiking, so it was perfect for what we needed. Nothing glamorous, definitely an older condo (like pictured so no surprises there), but was cozy and the view from the balcony was awesome! There was some water damage in the ceiling in the bathroom that looks like it may have a little mold which is more just a heads up to the owner. Good stay for a long weekend! Pretty easy drive to downtown or a couple good trailheads.

Beautiful View

The views from Deer Ridge Resort are amazing. We loved the location being outside of Gatlinburg far enough to enjoy the serenity of the mountains. If your a golfer it is perfectly located above Bent Creek Golf Course. We played there April 2nd so it was still a bit dormant but I would imagine in a few weeks it will be green and very nice. The condo was all the 2 of us needed. The deck was a great view of the mountains above and golf course below.

Cute little space

The condo was small but perfect for a friend and myself. The view was amazing and it was fairly close to downtown Gatlinburg. The outdoor pool was a little tedious to get to and especially return back from be prepared to lose reception and not be able to navigate back from lol. (Hopefully not) But overall a great little rental! We enjoyed the patio and the indoor pool and balcony to get some sun!

We stayed at the cozy cub condo and it was terrible. We knew by the pictures that the condo was dated, but that didn’t concern us. When we got there we were met with a very musty smell. We also quickly noted many areas where there appeared to be water damage that was either painted over or not addressed at all. The unit was filthy. There were many areas that had dead bugs, layers of dust, and the carpets were stained and sticky. The furniture was all extremely worn and the loveseat felt like it would fall apart at any moment. The pullout sofa clearly hadn’t been used in sometime and was full of bugs, crumbs, and dirt. The host did send a cleaning crew out the next day but they only addressed a few of the areas I told him about. Unfortunately after the cleaners came we started noticing ants coming from the cleaning closet and notified the host with no response. We spent the remainder of the stay killing ants. This property also advertises 3 outdoor pools, an indoor pool, hot tub, steam room, and sauna. The hot tub didn’t work the whole stay and one of the outdoor pools was closed. The steam room worked the last 2 days of the stay but the indoor pool was always extremely cloudy. The host was notified about the ants and amenities with no response.The only good thing was the view. I wouldn’t recommend this complex and will not stay here again

Quick Get a way

This place is nice to stay if you’re looking to just unwind. The views are amazing and the condo is homie and the decor is un-bear-ably cute. Your a bit out of town but the views are worth it. We ran away from home for 2 nights and just enjoyed the quiet. My only complaint is with the bathroom. We had no wash cloths or hand towels and the rugs in the bathroom should be rubbed back, for they were quit slippery along with the bathtub. A rubber mat for the tub should do the trick.

Good enough

The check in process is different than what VRBO says. And the key pad directions were not right had to call to get help getting in. The cleanliness was good except for the bathroom there was some mold in the left ceiling corner. The toilet made a weird loud noise when flushed. And lastly the bed was uncomfortable and made a lot of creaking noises every time you move and needs to be replaced. But the view was great of the mountains on the balcony.

When we first arrived, we saw a bear about 100 ft from the car. That was awesome! Trying to find which one your in was a bit of a hassle. I had to go to the office and ask the lady. The condo was small and it was very outdated. Really needs updated and remodel some. The view was nice but the balcony freaked me out a bit, as it looked like it was not reinforced very well. Hubby says it was fine, so we sat out on it. The shower was ok, just kinda old and needs updated. Same with the rest of the condo. I would not recommend anymore than two stay there though, as it’s very small. The toilet makes weird noises and there was a spider in the ceiling by the shower that has been squished and never cleaned. The beds are horrid, the pillows sucked to. Other than that it was ok. Pool was nice but the shower rooms were gross. I’m thinking the price was pretty high considering what the condition of the room was like. Wouldn’t stay in this specific room again, however another condo we might in that same infrastructure.

Not what we expected

We have stayed at Deer Ridge for over 20 years and have always been pleased, until now. It was dated (70's dishwasher, 80's stove and refrigerator, 90's tv in the bedroom) the blind in the bathroom was broken which we took a picture and immediately notified the owner so we wouldn't be blamed. The views are phenomenal but for what we paid for the unit we could have stayed in a much nicer, updated place nearly anywhere in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. We returned to Deer Ridge because it's our favorite place but won't be returning to this particular unit. The curtains in the bedroom were 100% from the 70's because they were gold satin lol! The carpet was in need of at least a deep clean if not replaced. It was fine for a place to sleep but definitely not what we have come to expect from Deer Ridge.

About the host

Host profile image
I have aspirations of retiring to the mountains and managing 5 of our own properties and 15 other luxury vacation rentals. A condo purchase in May of 2018 represents our 3rd property. In November of 2023, I purchased a fourth property, a railroad caboose. Throughout 2024, we will be converting the Caboose to a luxury 1 bedroom property with a goal of having it on rental for spring of 2025.

In 2013, we took over the daily management of the properties. We aren't perfect but we do believe in continuous improvement. We consider our places to be part of your vacation experience and as such we are part of 100's of joyous times with families and friends. Our hope is that the cabin & your stay in this beautiful city is a wonderful, lifelong memory.
