Great house close to downtown

This house was very spacious and exactly as listed. The check in and out process was very easy and the host was very responsive. The location of this house was amazing! Just a short walk to downtown where all the activities are. Definitely recommend this house for others looking to explore Gatlinburg.

Nice place. It could use some TLC and updating to finish undone projects...painting, cupboard updates in kitchen and bathrooms, just some shotty repairs left bare and not painted or left with shotty workmanship. Door in kitchen wonky and in need of replacement

Take the good with the bad

The house was great for our purposes. The location could not have been better. The only issue we had was the yard was gone because of construction which left a muddy mess in front of the house and no place to walk the dogs. Over all the house was clean and had everything we needed.

Make Sure Construction is Over

House is very spacious and hot tub is great. Was very clean. However, it is in the middle of a construction zone literally. Most people could also not walk to town from the location. VERY UNSAFE for Children. We were contacted before and during the stay which was appreciated but even trying to leave the construction workers had blocked the road.

We were not told about the construction across the driveway, one of the reasons we chose this property was the picture showed a nice yard. There was no yard due to the construction and was muddy where the trucks had been, no grass to walk dog.

Security

we had to contact vrbo support to get the get the access code because the host did not respond after hours of asking. Upon arrival, the house was clean, after checking the house we noticed several windows weren’t locked, and privacy is very limited considering all blinds and curtains had either been taken down or cut, which left us feeling unsafe. Overall the stay was good considering the house was clean and we were given all supplies we would need, plus the hot tub and outside area was well kept.

Potential but would not rent here again.

One of the only positives about this rental was the location. The house was covered in dog fur, so much so that we wouldn’t allow our kids to get on the rugs or floors at all. But the beds and everything had fur on them as well. This was from previous renters and not being cleaned throughly at all. All rugs in the rental were heavily stained and looked dirty as well. On top of the house being overall disgustingly dirty there were other problems too, one of the showers continuously leaked the whole time which they were trying to get someone out to fix but didn’t in the 5 days we were there. Also if you have small children bathing is a bit hard as the tub faucets do not work, there is no way to change the water from the shower head to come out of the faucet so we had to use only one bathroom (which the other was leaking anyway) and use the wand from the shower to fill up the tub to bath our kids to the renters credit I did not address this with them because at that point we were just dealing with what he had. Overall location was great and house has a lot of potential if cleaned a ton better and some improvements made.

Property is okay

My family and I stayed from December 20th to Jan 2nd. This property has great potential but as some of the other reviewers put it is on top of a construction site. We we were told that you could not even see the construction and would never hear them. Bright and early the next day you could hear the nail gun go off. I was told that the property would be decorated for Christmas and it was not. We had issues with the sink and dishwasher. Not to mention the cleaning crew showed up on December 31st stating that we were supposed to have been checked out and got snippy with my husband when he told them that we were there until January 2nd. At that point my husband and I decided to leave early the next day because we did not feel safe and was worried that we would leave and find our stuff tossed out. There was also issues with someone dumping chlorine tabs outside the hot tub and our dog got ahold of it. There is also a family owned cemetery in the back. There was other issues too, that I in talk with the rental company on. I also took pictures and videos of everything before and when we checked out. At this point I want my security deposit back and feel like there should be refund of some sort back to us. Side note. You have a great few of the space needle and the fireworks going off, and there is a bear around the property.

The house smells moldy and you can see mold growing on the ceiling. There were ants on the counters. The fire places don’t work. The mattresses aren’t good. The house is located on a construction site.

Great location and spacious

Shady Woods made a great home base for our family group of 7 for three days. Ten minute walk to the edge of town was nice -- also close to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Beds were very comfortable, too. Nice quiet neighborhood. We all enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, corn hole, foosball, pool table and large screen TV. We cooked all of our dinners in the kitchen, too. Great place!

Christmas vacation

We really enjoyed our stay over Christmas! My husband, our 2 adult children and myself. There was plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and everyone had their own room. We enjoyed the hot tub and had many games of pool! It was an easy walk to downtown. Walking back to house was a slight challenge but not to bad. The property manager was very helpful and answered any questions that we had. We will stay there again

Close to parkway

The location was great! While looking at photos… yes, the furniture has all been updated. However, the actual bones of the house could use some attention. Kind of disappointing that TV’s were not in all bedrooms (we are used to noise and need tv to sleep) so we just didn’t even use 3rd room. The temp in the house doesn’t seem to stay maintained throughout )hot on one side cold on other) But, for location and price it wasn’t bothersome. Just maybe something for property manager to look into. We would still stay again.

Love this place! Highly recommend!

This is our second year staying at the Shady Woods 3 bedroom cabin. We came last year and fell in love with everything about the place, from it being walking distance to town (saving you $20 a day in parking), to the jacuzzi where you can watch the Ober Gatlinburg tram go overhead, the pool table, glider swing out front, stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. And this year when we came back we were excited to see upgrades from last year, including new beds, cookware, a keurig, bath amenities, along with a bowl of individual snacks to enjoy. There is also cable with Netflix for those nights you are exhausted from walking all day and just want to relax. I think we found our annual vacation place!🤩 If you are looking for a cabin up in the woods that is far away from the vacation crowds, yet close enough to walk to the downtown Gatlinburg strip, then this is your place.
