We had a great time. Everything we need was at the cabin. Check in was very easy and we even got a text making sure we had what we need. We had a visitor and was very excited to see him. After he posed for us he moved on.
This cabin was high on the mountain, and cell service was minimal with no WiFi. Great place to unplug. Could be cleaner, and sprayed to keep ants away. We did have bears out the back door pretty close one morning. We enjoyed our time here.
This cabin is on the top of the mountain. Off a gravel road, that splits off into two directions. One direction, the right, is where your cabin is. The other direction is something unrelated. You need to make sure you have a car that can make it up this mountain. The roads are steep, narrow, and a bit tricky to get through. Not terrible but if you're a novice driver I would probably say pass on this particular cabin. It's going to be difficult to get to. If you're not an novice driver and you got a vehicle that can climb decently well then I would say go for it. Cuz you are going to get privacy 110%. Nobody bothers you here. You are alone. Which is perfect. The only other concern that I would say would be a thing here is the lack of Internet and signal for your cell phone. This is not entirely in the control of the owners. Although they could have provided Wi-Fi for their guests even if it was an upcharge. And while it really did not impact my stay significantly I wanted to make you aware of this. We spent most of our time in pigeon forge itself. Only being there was in the morning or in the evening. So it was not a big deal. However, I know how important the internet is, so you should be aware. This may be a bonus over a issue.Overall, I enjoyed my stay here. The cabin is in good shape. It was comfortable. The owners were very helpful with issues that came up. I would stay with them again.
Not perfect, but lots of great things about this property. Location - about 1.5 miles up the mountain and off the main road, there are lots of trees and great views. There are a couple neighbors, including one that is across the road in front of the house, but it sits lower so when you sit on the front porch, you don't look directly at it. The area is very quiet and peaceful, making the location perfect for those who want to get away. There is no wifi and it's kind of a dead spot for cell service, but we actually appreciated being disconnected. It does have satellite service with lots of channels.Size/layout - the cabin felt much bigger than the pictures in the listing showed, which was a nice surprise. There was plenty of space for everyone (4 people) to relax without feeling crowded. The kitchen was very functional for cooking with lots of dishes. Some reviews had complained that the hot tub was in the yard, but it's really just off the back deck, easily accessible from the house. You can see one house from the hot tub but we never felt like we were lacking privacy while using it.Communication - the manager was great about giving us clear instructions and amending any issues we had. It was clear they cared that we enjoyed our stay.Cleanliness/condition - I would say this was really the only downside. The used space in the cabin was clean, but it could really benefit from a deep clean - lots of dust and cobwebs in the higher areas. Overall, I would 100% return
We enjoyed our 4 nights immensely. Everything was as described. Quiet and out of the bustle of the Smokeyâs traffic. Enjoyed the hot tub after hiking and biking every day. No issues at all!
Great place!!! The ride to get to the cabin is beautiful
Loved everything about the place!!
The drive to get to get is beautiful and if you rent in the winter better have snow tires/chains. We were on motorcycles and it was a great ride.
The property was great. Clean and comfortable. Sadly, there is no WiFi and it was a black hole for signal. If that doesnât matter to yo then I highly recommend.
The place was overall accommodating for our stay. Sometimes could have been better. Some dishes were dirty, the pull out couch has popcorn and some dead insects on/in it. There were nails sticking out of the porch boards. The listing on VRBO specified it had wifi, it does not. The outside trash cans were small. The curtains on the doors drag and get stepped on when going in and out of the doors. The curtains in the main room downstairs are see thru if you are sitting on the porch, you can see right into the bedroom at whatever is going on. There were nasty and huge webs all over the outside of the cabins. Not webs that were new, webs that you could tell had been there for a while. I get the cabin was in the woods, there is bugs. It just seemed as if the cabin hadn't been used in a while or the cleaner was in a hurry. There is not a sheet for the cot that is upstairs. No cleaning products of any kind other than a broom and dust ban, there was a mop but no bucket. The drawers and cabinets that didn't have things in them were dirty; crumbs all in them. The pool table pockets are broken, most are barley hanging on. Another down fall, the pillows are all feather pillows. I think that should be listed for people who are allergic. We had to go buy an extra pillow for this reason. The cabin did its job, if you are okay with no internet or signal and the bugs in the wilderness, and off the road a good ways. We also got to see a bear and or bears 4 different times while we were there.
Two of my best friends and I were in the area for a car show at The Leconte Center. The cabin was a perfect, peaceful respite at the end of a busy day. Many thanks!
The property is very nice, we enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. The covered porch with rocking chairs and swing bench was a great place to take in nature. We really enjoyed our time at this property. Thank you Lori for checking on us during our trip. We will definitely be back.
The name of the cabin describes it almost to a T. The cabin is beautiful and very clean. Upon first entry just had a welcome home feel to it. Does have neighbors but never herd a peep out of them, just a friendly wave the one time we did see them outside. Hot tub was our main focal point and it did not disappoint. Check in was a breeze and the host was amazing. We will definitely rent there again
We enjoyed our stay at this cabin so very much! The location is beautiful and the bed was the softest bed Iâve ever slept on at any cabin, we had the best sleep of our lives here. Also the customer service is AMAZING!!! We missed our checkout because I thought I had it booked for a day extra and they worked with us to let us stay that extra night even though Iâm sure it put them out and they were so nice and understanding of it all, thank you so much Maple ridge my family will for sure be booking from yâall again!!
Cabin was cute and cozy. Disappointed that the fireplace was electric but a nice addition. Everything was clean and we wanted for much of nothing. Just a few food items. Clean towels and linens were plentiful. Surroundings beautiful and quiet. Hot tub....not so much. Was out in the side yard rather than a step away from the cabin. Not private at all. You had to walk off the deck to the hot tub. We didn't use it. Thank you.
