Very rustic experience. Very basic for the price we paid for one night stay. Get ready for basic appliances, stove, and very small microwave. Coffee pot only serves 3 cups (very small old appliance) NO Kerig present for coffee (no single cup Kerig). You must let the small coffee pot cool before you place the prepackaged coffee in the pot (only two for room-non decaf).
Very-Very poor lighting through-out the cabin and the road to the cabin does not have lights or pathway lights. Hard to see. Cabin is not suitable for small children as the cabin is not-in anyway child proof.
It is a pet friendly cabin, all linens, couch, and pillows had the odor of a wet dog. Dead bugs in garden tub.
We stayed overnight, but would have appreciated previous renters' views and comments before we booked, Over-priced for the accommodations.
Cabin was paid in advance via Hotels.com, and the Smokehouse lodge (elderly clerk) seemed confused as to giving me a key when I discussed Hotels.com gave a security code to use as a keyless entry.There is not keyless entry. A card at desk issued for entry once you leave your credit card information on file for "incidentals."
We be staying on Swanee Campus (Uni of South) for future seminars.
Private AirBnb's are cheaper, more up-to-date, and safe with campus security on site. More than adequate lighting for security. We hope this is helpful information for the next potential renter.
No future lodging for us at the Smokehouse Lodge.
Thank-you
