Arrived to a dirty cabin with a busted toilet seat. Called the number posted throughout the cabin to discover it belonged to the previous owner who sold the cabins some time ago. Called new owner, no answer. Tracked down another number from the VRBO listing and got someone to help.
We purchased a new toilet seat, and screwdriver to try and fix it ourselves but the old bolts wouldn’t come off. Eventually the manager/housekeeper had to come with bolt cutters to get it off.
The rugs looked like they hadn’t seen a vacuum cleaner in months, bath towels smelled like mildew and there was a used wadded up wash cloth in the shower. The kitchen sink had old stains and hadn’t been scrubbed in who knows how long. The coffeemaker was cruddy too, so we didn’t bother making any there.
We were glad we only had to stay for two nights. It was a lousy way to start our vacation and in hindsight the pictures online made it look nicer than it is.
The lady that manages the property offered to give us back our money for the purchase of the toilet seat, but it wasn’t worth the hassle to save the $10.
No offer was extended to compensate us for the filth and hassle we went through. We won’t be back, and I wouldn’t recommend staying here. Keep looking for other places or consider driving to Chattanooga to stay in a hotel.
My guess is the photos online were posted by the previous owner who took better care of things. Also, the parking spot for this cabin is off the main road, so you won’t be able to see your car from the cabin. Some of the houses in the area were a little sketchy, so we were nervous about not being able to have eyes on the car during our stay.
