We stayed for four days, and the only issue I had was with the twin bed mattresses. They were a little on the lumpy side. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent this property. We also had a bear visit on our first night. The bear opened the car doors and checked out the car. Got in the front drivers side door and left through the passenger door. No damage, but he/she left the doors open. It was kind of exciting.

I stayed at this property over the weekend with my two daughters, my grandchildren (ages 5 and 2), and a newborn. Unfortunately, the experience was discouraging and raised several serious concerns.Upon arrival—approximately 30 minutes after check-in—my daughter was met in the driveway by a man explaining that several vehicles (with multiple children and teenagers) would be leaving shortly and that we would need to accommodate their timing. This interaction was uncomfortable and unwelcoming, particularly given that the stay was intended for myself and young children. It immediately raised concerns about safety and boundaries, especially as this appeared to be a neighbor or third-party issue. Once inside, it became clear that the listing was not accurately represented. The photos did not match the condition of the home, and the property is described as a three-bedroom when it is, in fact, two bedrooms with a loft. This distinction matters, as it affects both expectations and pricing.The greatest concern was safety. The staircase banisters are not up to child safety standards—my nearly two-year-old granddaughter could fit her entire body through them. Physically blocking the stairs throughout the WE to prevent a potentially serious injury. Despite the listing stating the property is suitable for children ages 0–17, it is not safe and does not appear to meet VRBO or Tennessee safety code standards for child accommodations.This property has potential but not for families

Cabin looked good from the outside, inside cobwebs, spiders, stove was nasty also inside the oven. Spatulas was gross need replaced. Pots and pans scratched and had chips on them. Pulled sheet down on the king size bed there sat a rock in the bed which my husband laid on for days. Shower and bathtub is so slippery that they should have had bathmats in them all. A/c Only cooled downstairs not upstairs. Also missing screens upstairs, we could only open one window, so it was very hot. We also had to listen to the construction work being done our whole stay right across from the cabin., from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm. Which was bad enough however the traffic through the neighborhood is like a freeway nonstop all day and night. also where we stayed there was no sight of mountain views where we stayed. Very disappointed in all. Will not be staying there ever again!

Loved the cabin itself, the location, quietness, size, atmosphere & pet friendly.Unfortunately there were some issues. Cleanliness was the biggest problem. Nasty & disgusting. The bedroom carpet OMG, the kitchen cabinets had food stuck on them, the dust/cobwebs and the mold on the walls.Broken lamps and/or lamps that didnt work at all.Brown rings on the dresser from lampsUsed bandaid laying on dresserNo mountain view as states in adWe did stay as what choice did we have ? We never would have found another pet friendly cabin last minute. We made the best of it and I cleaned what I could.I hope whomever rents this cabin next has better luck

Place was ok for the money and the time we went during Labor Day weekend! The cabin needs updates and needs a deep cleaning! The carpets are very dirty and there was tons of spider webs on ceiling area and the fan in bathrooms were very dusty and looked like they have never been cleaned! The cabin was in a great neighborhood, that was covered with cabins and tons of out of towners, but everyone was nice, check in was easy, rental was easy and reasonable, and the outside the yard and landscaping was clean and well groomed. The front porch was very clean and relaxing. There had definitely been a bear out back of this cabin there was bear poop and he/she had ate a turtle shell still there. We had a good experience just wished it had been cleaner and more updated.

Great location

Overall it was a pretty good cabin, just wished it had been a little cleaner on the inside and unfortunately the prior people who had stayed didnt clean up after their dogs so you had to watch your step around the property. Our biggest complaint overall would definitely be there were lots of bugs on the inside of the cabin that we were constantly killing and or trying to get outside and lots of spider webs on the inside.
