The location of this cabin in a gated community was perfect. It was away from the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but close enough to run in for entertainment or special meals. Our family spent most of our time hiking in the GSMNP. It was nice to return to the cabin to rest and recharge. We had plenty of bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom which was wonderful. We used the grill and hot tub and spent time on the back deck with morning coffee. Our granddaughter loved the pacman game which was something new for her and the men in the family enjoyed playing several games of pool. The cabin had many areas for visiting and relaxing, so if you wanted to people could separate for different activities like quiet time or game time. The only negatives were that the cabin is in need of TLC. We had issues with several plug ins not working, the faucet on the jet tub upstairs wouldn't shut off properly, the dryer quit working, the front porch railing by the steps was rotting away in places, and the light switches are in odd areas. For example the dining table light is a toggle switch on a cord in the corner of the room. When we arrived, a bit early, we found a bug exterminator truck parked out front of our cabin. I became almost nauseous for fear of bed bugs. I spoke with the bug man and a cleaning lady who both assured me this was routine spraying since we are in a wooded area. There were no bed bugs. However, I got bit by something in the middle of the night that caused a 1/2 inch blister and a 2 inch diameter red swollen area. I thought it might've been a spider, but when I called management for another issue, the lady said she had been bitten by a large black ant that had similar effects. We did see a black ant on my husband's pillow, so that may have been what bit me. That happened over a week ago and I still have a scar from it, but no real serious reactions. Oh, and whenever we called management, they were very nice and helpful. When the maintenance guy came to look at the jet tub faucet, he didn't want to try to fix it because he said he might break something.
If he called a plumber, they would have to shut off the water and we would be without water for most of a day, probably, so we just didn't use the jet tub again. Overall, the cabin was very nice and we enjoyed our stay there. I would recommend this cabin, but hope the owners take time in the off season to update and repair issues.
