The cabin was beautiful and nicely decorated. There was so much room for me and my family to enjoy our stay comfortably. Close drive to downtown Gaitlynburg which was a plus for me😀. My family and I really enjoyed our stay. It's was so peaceful.

Cabin was clean. Despite being close to a main road, it was fairly quiet and we never heard any noise from the road.

I think they need to hire new cleaners. The cabin was not very clean. They definitely do not clean underneath the furniture. There’s dirty socks and stuff underneath the furniture. The tub was disgusting. There was shave trimmings still on the back of the sink behind the Spicket. Where you have to take the trash out too, was completely full with trash bags, gnats and flies everywhere when you open it up, they need to have the trash emptied. It’s nasty. Will I stay here again probably not.

The property itself is fine, but it needs lots of love and attention. The place was SO dirty! Hair balls everywhere, dust falling off the fans, ants in the kitchen and nasty little flying bugs coming out of all drains. The yard grass was tall when we arrived and was never mowed the entire week we stayed there. Dogs got soaked everytime they went out in the morning. The firepit is sitting a foor from the woods so the mosquitoes make it impossible to enjoy. The rugs in the upstairs shower area look like they have never been washed. That is what you had to step out on after a shower. Many other problems, too many to write. This was our first experience with v r b o. It makes me question whether or not we will ever use their services again. I honestly, I would love to get a refund.

Family vacation

Decor is western and its a cute small cabin about 30m from Gatlinburg. Far enough from traffic, but close enough to the things we wanted to do. We didn't use the kitchen except fridge and microwave (which worked well), it is well equipped with pots, pans, and dishes if you do want to cook. Downstairs bathroom was nice, good shower pressure. We did not use the jacuzzi. Upstairs bathroom not great, not good pressure and very dark. Beds were good, pillows eh, overall nice, but downstairs one has some water damage. We enjoyed hang out in the sitting area in the evenings, very comfy and cozy. Their were some issues with upstairs bathroom when we got there, but Nick warned us before we checked in and he was able to resolve the issue next day. Communication was good. Overall experience was positive and we would stay here again.

We stayed from a mini weekend getaway for our anniversary. I read a review on another booking site after getting there and they were right. It was from May 2025 and nothing was fixed correctly. I wish I would have taken pictures. The toilet seat upstairs was strapped on with a zip tie. The shower stall upstairs was siliconed and white duct taped to cease a water leak that caused the 1st floor bedroom ceiling to sag. Which is held up by a piece of wood screwed up there. The ceiling light/fan we didn’t use. The fan blades were missing. Probably from water damage. The bathroom on the 1st floor needed a good deep clean. The shower walls were in need of a deep grout cleaning. It was red with mildew. I did bring Lysol wipes with us so I wiped everything down myself. Kitchen was cleanish. I wiped it down also. We did not cook, the handle on the oven was very loose and I wasn’t taking any chances of it falling off while I baked something. Handles on the fridge were missing. Ice maker was laying in the ice tray frozen in water. With all that said, this cabin could be really nice with some updates to the shower upstairs and ceiling fixed correctly on the 1st floor with a new ceiling light/fan. And a good deep clean to the whole place.

For the price it was good. It needs better cleaning and the yard area was overgrown. One bathroom had issues with toilet and shower that need work but the main bathroom was fine. The owner was responsive to our questions and helped get the TV back online. We enjoyed being out in the Cosby area.

Cozy and clean cabin

The Log Cabin A was charming, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. It's conveniently located near a laundromat, coffee shop, Dollar General, and a gas station—perfect for any immediate needs. While it's set a bit away from the main town and located on a main road, it still felt peaceful and quiet inside.Note that there’s no dishwasher, so you'll need to wash dishes by hand—but the kitchen sink is spacious and manageable. Laundry facilities aren't available on the property, but the nearby laundromat makes it easy to take care of that when needed.It's good to add coffee shop address instead the property address as the google map is taking you to some dead-end private property road.

The cabin had a mildew smell to it. The bedroom fan was broke and the blinds wouldn’t open. Definitely needs some cosmetic work done to it. Cabin location needs lights or something so the driveway is easy to see at night.

Don’t waste your time

Awful. The cabin definitely needs some updates. It was not clean at all. The floors looked like they hadn’t been touched. The fact the shower leaks upstairs ONTO the downstairs bed..ridiculous. That needs to be fixed. Shouldn’t even be able to rent the place out when the shower leaks onto the bed. Beds aren’t comfortable at all. Washer and dryer was out of service so who knows if the sheets got washed. The fire alarm batteries were bad so they beeped all the time. We left a night early and drove back home just because it was so awful. Terrible and really think I deserve my money back.

Cabin is cute but STINKS of mildew. Mattresses and pillows are worn out—not comfortable at all. We cut our stay short by 3 days cause smell so bad. Plus no response from guest services when I called.
