A Pretty Good Time
It was nice. Loved the scenery, and the cabin was well-kept. Only real thing that bothered us was that the floors were kind of dirty when we got there.

BED BUGS + ROACHES
When we first entered the home, there were roaches and ants along the kitchen floor. There was also strands of black hair in both showers as if they hadn’t been cleaned in between stays. The one thing that sent me over the edge was waking up the next morning and having 30+ itchy red bed bug bites all across my upper body. The second night, didn’t have anywhere else to go yet, so tried to stick it out in the other bedroom…. Same thing happened. Now I have over 50+ bites all over my body, including my legs. Host has been ghosting me, and has not yet given me a refund and says they will only refund me the cleaning fee. Not to mention I left the next day after the occurred so I didn’t spend the remaining 2 nights at the place since it was unlivable. Terrible service, property manager has yet to call us back after repeatedly calling for 3 days straight. After sending pictures of all my bed bug bites for proof, all they had to say was sorry for the inconvenience and we will send these pictures to the maintenance team. If you would like to get bit by bed bugs and waste money definitely choose this place!!

Description not correct.
Home was advertised as being secluded, but although the road to the house was off the beaten path. The house is within 100 feet from the hwy 74. All night all you hear is truck and cars from the hwy. Other than that the house was great.

The property and house were beautiful. The issue was only one TV was connected to cable - the TV's in the bedrooms were only connected to DVD players - needed to play movies only - didn't take any with us.

Look at google map first
The house was lovely, the interior looked just like the photos HOWEVER, what the outside photos not show is that on the other side of the river is a highway and you will get to listen to tractor trailers all night. The hot tub is in full view if the highway. After driving 15 minutes through the woods to get to the house we found ourselves not in a paradise of privacy but with a railroad track at the driveway and a highway. Again, the house was clean and lovely BUT (see our photos)

Could not get anything to work because I was given wrong info. No calls to you. Had to find a neighbor to help and that did not work well enough. Steve the owner agreed you screwed up. I left the next day. Ripoff

We had a great time at this location. Whitewater rafting, bowling, trip to Gatlinburg, hiking, and fishing all nearby. The house was roomy and beds were comfortable. My husband caught tons of fish right on the property. Overall, was a great spot.

OK NOT GREAT
1. Listing shows tvs in 2 bedrooms...problem is there is no channel hookup only dvd player. 2. Fishing is not good as you cannot get to water. Fishing from the "dock" is not fishing. 3. Called regarding tvs in bedrooms not working, maintenance called and said he was coming right over. Called at 9 am he showed up at 8:30 pm 4. Hot tub did not work properly 1st night. 5. I emailed several times after making initial reservation trying to get more information on the rental, river, and area...no response. 6. Property not easy to find and highway was directly across the river. Forget about sleeping in or having a relaxing time in the hottub regarding the noise level. 7. Overall, Vrbo, Vacasa, and Home Away only care about collecting the monies. 8. I will no use the above for any further rentals in the future.

Very restful short vacation
Very quiet and peaceful. Secluded and wonderful place to just get away from everything. House was extremely clean and had everything you needed. Drive in was a little tough in the dark so we recommend arriving during daylight hours. Very close to Cherokee. Caught only one fish but scenery was beautiful.

Nice place
Was a little disappointed with the road noise and the beds listed as twins on the property listing are really just tiny cots. Was in a pretty private location but road noise across the river negated the peaceful riverside location. House itself was clean and pretty well stocked.
