Here for a wedding!

Overall stay was good. We had to kill a lot of hornets. That was a little scary. Wish there were more paper towels and dishwasher soap. We lived where it was.

Bats in the Home

Unfortunately we had to vacate the home because of bats inside the bedrooms. The rental company was very unapologetic and did not handle this situation properly, refusing to put our family in a more appropriate home because of “money” they would lose. Our family would never use the Smoky Mountain Retreat company again.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The management co. wasn't good about returning phone calls. They did respond to email. Issues were delt with immediately with the owner who was in town. Very nice and accomadating. Single beds in the cabin were unacceptable, too creaky to sleep on. Decor needed updating. Only 1 blanket for entire cabin. We had to buy a blanket and some good pillow, which the owner did reimburse for. The trees needed to be trimmed, the view was blocked. Lots of bees in the house. Really liked the floor layout.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay but the driveway was very difficult to navigate. The cabin needed a little more cleaning. Im a small woman and hated the sink! I couldnt reach the lever to turn on the water! Ridiculous! The 3 floors were a challenge but i knew about them when i bookedthe cabin. The very best thing about the cabin was the wraparound porch which made up almost fir the challenges!

Loved the cabin! Would recommend.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time with our two small kids at the cabin. Everything was clean and well appointed, just as described. The kids enjoyed the foosball, air hockey, and extra room to play. It had beautiful views and was in a good location. We drove to two hiking areas within 30-45 minutes. It was also easy to get to nearby Waynesville. We navigated the steep and windy hills and driveway up to the cabin okay and it was nice to be able to park in a garage. I would recommend it!

Babbling Brook Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As a family, we have enjoyed vacationing in the Smokey Mountain Retreat cabins/homes for many years. The cabins are comfortable and have the amenities that you need. We had an issue with the volume of the TV in the main room not working was checked but not fixed while we were there(however there are other TVs in the cabin that worked)

Peaceful

We had a wonderful stay at the Babbling Brook. Not too far up the mountain, but had a beautiful view! We enjoyed our stay and the cabin was very spacious! We would have loved an outdoor dining table, but other that that there was everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking essentials!

Nice location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was well stocked and overall clean. The view is great! Loved the wood burning fireplace, but the insert is rather small for such a huge fireplace and 1/2 the wood we paid extra for was wet (which made it hard to burn) so we weren't able to use it all. We came in hopes for snow and it did snow about 3-5"! Our plans were stay in, but the driveway was plowed and salted the morning after the snow if we did need to get out. The garage was nice touch for rental-didn't have to clean snow off vehicle. We would definitely stay here again. Suggestions: new pans and more comfortable living room furniture (the furniture in the loft was very comfortable though).

Charming cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent cabin with wonderful views of the mountains in a quiet gated community and remote location. Exactly what we wanted for our family reunion. It is very well maintained and kitchen well stocked. We didn’t need anything. If there is anything I would criticize it would be that they have an extensive list of check out requirements (collect trash, collect laundry, collect food..) and check out time is early so we had to rush to make it out of the house while the cleaning crew was waiting outside. We pay a cleaning fee so we don’t have to do all that. Otherwise We would definitely go back ! Thank you!

Labor Day weekend with College Football

Planned on staying up in the mountains for the long weekend to have a getaway and watch some college football. The site listed this house had Direct TV, so I made the assumption that it had espn and other sports channels! Well I was wrong! The owner didn’t have one sports channel as part of the package, not even just espn, so I had to watch football on my cellphone! They should list on the site that they don’t have sports packages! I would not have rented the house had I known that! For $228 a night, you would think the owner could afford a sports package. The property managers were great however and personally called the owner to see if they would add it but he refused! So beware... if you love watching sports, this house may not be for you!
