Getaway

Only true complaint was with the waste management company and not with unit hosts. Waste management had let dumpsters overflow. Then when the truck ran, they just left the bags on the ground and didn't pick up. I complained to host and was corrected by them. Unit was as described and we enjoyed our stay. U

Great

My husband and I loved this property! Everything was nice and clean and the hot tub was great it was also very clean. Even though we weren’t that close to the mountains we still had a good view from the master bedroom. The neighborhood is very quiet and the neighbors we ran into were ever sweet. I would definitely recommend staying at this property and if my husband and I decide to visit again we would for sure book this property again.

Clean & quiet stay just outside of Pigeon Forge

This property is located just barely outside of Pigeon Forge on the Sevierville side, so it is just about 20-30 minutes to get to pretty much everything, which is pretty convenient. Despite being in a neighborhood with lots of new homes and town houses, we found the unit to be extremely quiet and well-insulated. The home was clean and well appointed with linens and the basics. The washer and dryer worked well and they had plenty of detergent available. Soap, towels, and shampoo were complimentary. A few dishes and utensils. Small kitchen, but everything worked and was clean. The fenced in back yard was smaller than expected, not a big deal but be prepared for that. There wasn't really a great place to walk the dogs, but our small dogs were fine strolling a little around the neighborhood, just be aware there is no real pedestrian infrastructure and it is very dark at night. Other than that small caveat, our stay was perfect and we would book again!

Needs Work and Attention to Detail

Our first impression was the smell of stale smoke and dampness when we entered. We emailed the hosts through VRBO to let them know but only received a template response about activities in the area. The unit is old and the cleaning is not up to par. The baseboards and stair carpeting are dirty and should be replaced, the upstairs fake floor boards are peeling, there are missing knobs on cabinets, the powder room had something spilled on the wall/baseboard, the primary shower was stained/dirty and the top ledge has never been dusted/cleaned. My husband is 6'4" and had to look at it while showering. The furniture is sparse and uncomfortable with thin blankets - not cozy at all. The beds creak with every movement and wake everyone up throughout the night. I guess you get what you pay for and we didn't spend a ton of time in the unit, but it was disappointing and regardless of the price point, we expect it to be clean and not smell like old smoke. I would not recommend to anyone.
