Great Stay!

Booked this on a short notice and could not have been happier. Amazing place especially for the price, it was a lot nicer than i imagined. Highly recommend staying here if you want a trip with your family. Huge rooms, 3 king beds and each room had their own bathroom. Perfect with teenagers and adults! I would stay here again just for the bed size and bathrooms!

Very nice and convenient

We were in town for a car show and this condo was the perfect size and a fantastic location. Three couples, it is a 3bedroom, 3 bath condo with plenty of comfortable seating and nice view from both patios. The property managers were easy to work with and even called to see how things were going. Would 100% recommend!

Loved it!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed here before, six of us, and we like the fact that all three bedrooms have king size beds (very important). Location is great, also. BUT, it definitely needs more towels (we found ourselves washing towels every day just so we can have a clean set each night), and there needs to be a night stand on the side of each bed. Other than that, we'll stay here again and I highly recommend. There's not much of a pool, so keep that in mind if you have kids.

Reviewer Comments: The property was nice needed a few improvements, but overall it was nice There was a dent in one of the walls when you come in there were no skillets to cook with And we needed it at least one more towel eachThe beds were comfortable The location was great but we never seen any management the whole time we were there and we didn’t get our free tickets. I was told we would get.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 July 2024
Good morning, We will definitely get more cookware in the unit. This unit is actually getting a remodel this coming winter, consisting of new flooring and a new kitchen, and countertops. As far as the tickets the link to those are in your email that you received on July 5, 2024 at 10:28 am. There is a link that you click for digital tickets. It shows you opened and signed the paperwork that had that information in it. As far as not seeing management, we do not have an onsite office, but are available by phone 24/7. We have had several communications with you prior to your stay and even this morning, thru webchat. We hope you stay with us again and wish you safe travels home.

Bear Crossing was our hub for all of our activities, Dollywood, Splash Country, Pirates Voyage, mini golf dinner with friends at their cabin further up the mountain and mainly the Leconte Convention Center. Our place was clean and felt safe. Having multiple bathrooms was great. The pool is very small on the property so if pool time is your jam, this may not be the place for you. To have a kitchen and our own rooms and space to spread out and a central location was key for us. Needs a frying pan, but we made out ok without one. Our pancakes were a fail but that may be the cook and not the lack of a pan :)

It’s wonderful that the multiple bathrooms and spacious layout worked well for your group. We appreciate your note about the pool size and the need for a frying pan.

Attended Celebration Conference

My sisters and I (3 of us) arrived Monday at 4 PM, traffic was heavy. The place was easy to find. We parked under covering dedicated to "our" condo. The house was clean, smelled nice and was nice and warm. We enjoyed it very much. left on Oct. 17. I contacted managers twice, once for wifi (did not need a password) and second to inquire if we could leave our car in the parking lot since checkout was at 10a and conference over at 12. Permission granted. Nice beds, TV's in every room, nice balcony with nice chairs. Fireplace nice to look at but we could not figure out how to use it. Jacuzzi in front bedroom was used, nice. Want to come back.
