Mountain-View Sevierville Cabin with Hot Tub!

Reviews

• Perfect location

  5/5

  Private and secluded! We enjoyed the cabin very much! Only thing I would suggest is to update the mattresses and water fixtures. I would also recommend extra bedding being available. Other than that we were able to get 4 jeeps parked with the smoky mountains in the background! We would definitely rent again!

• Gorgeous views, not so gorgeous cabin.

  3/5

  Our cabin experience was mixed. There are some lovely plusses to this cabin, but also some minuses that made our experience “just okay.”

  Plusses:

  Lovely views of Mt Leconte through the many windows/doors and from the wraparound deck.

  Good size cabin for two families. The space was adequate for us and all the necessary amenities were functional.

  The location is relatively secluded—not in a vacation community. This was a plus for us, but other vacationers might prefer to be less isolated.

  The cabin inside was clean and tidy.

  There was a snack basket waiting for us upon arrival.

  Minuses:

  Maintenance was lacking. For example, the faucet severely needed to be descaled. We found some CLR to fix it up so that it wasn’t spraying horizontally. The hot tub was also in need of cleaning. And the area around the hot tub and deck contained a lot of trash. There is a very sizable infestation of carpenter bees on the deck that made it difficult to be outside during sunny times of the day. Curtain rods need replaced or reinstalled as they kept falling down, blinds are broken in a few locations.

  Thoughtful hospitality “niceties” were lacking. For example, there was no extra bedding accesible. The beds had only duvet covers and sheets. And there was no bedding except a bottom sheet for the pullout. No throw blankets accessible. Management was responsive and was able to get a couple of blankets out of the owner’s closet. But extra (or typical) bedding is a pretty common expectation that shouldn’t have to be asked for.

  Manager was responsive to emails within a few hours, but not proactive. Never checked in before, during or after our stay.

  There seems to be a dog breeding/kennel operation down the hill from the cabin. It was quite loud occasionally.

  Overall:

  Cabin was functional and satisfied our basic needs. But I won’t choose it again.

• The cabin needs a deep cleaning !

  3/5

  The cabin needs a deep cleaning, there were roaches in the kitchen, the floors were not clean from the last guest, there was dog hair down stairs and dust all over the cabin floors.. Also, there was 3 large garage bags of linens and towels sitting at the bottom of the basement stairs.. The pool table had a hole on top of it and was duct taped in several areas.
