Disappointing

First I want to say that both of the people I spoke with were quick to respond and really tried to resolve the the issues on both calls I made. However we were disappointed with our stay. Upon arrival my son used the downstairs bathroom and discovered to toilet was not working properly. As we walked through the cabin we found it had not been cleaned well, carpeted areas not vacuumed hard surface floors not swept well, dirty dishes in the kitchen cabinets, a metal rack beside the toilet in the upstairs bathroom that was filthy and stained with urine splatter. First evening attempted to use the hot tub and realized it had been put in to "sleep mode" and since there were no instructions we could not use it. Greg with maintenance helped resolve the issue when I called the next evening. Shower downstairs apparently has the hot and cold pipes reversed so turning farther to the "hot" position actually provides colder water plus the faucet knob is not securely attached and comes off in your hand. I understand things happen and occasionally something gets missed, but there were just too many things missed on this cabin and gives me the impression I don't want to try it again.

Cute but some issues

The cabin was cutely decorated. Had some nice amenities, loved the hot tub and pool table. The bathrooms needed some work. We couldn’t use both showers at the same time, not enough water pressure. Also, the showers would make a horrible noise when in use.

Not a very good stay

We called and talked with the mechanical guy because there was no water pressure he came and tried to fix it got us a little bit more pressure but the pressure still sucked you could barely rinse your hair out because there was hardly any water pressure! The house was dirty inches of dust everywhere and hairs all in our beds! Forget washing clothes there wasn’t enough water to do that and the dryer squeaked so loud you couldn’t even use it! I do not recommend staying there ever! We will never book there again! They have to know about the water issue even though they acted like they didn’t! The first night there we got in late and couldn’t even shower because we had no water that night! The name of the cabin being called Karen’s cabin fits it! We told the mechanical guy about the cabin being dirty and he said he reported it but we never heard from anyone nor ever saw anyone come to clean it which is absolutely ridiculous! Someone could have called to check in or try to make all of this right and no one did!

Karen's Cabin

The location of the cabin was perfect for our Dollywood trip. The cabin was easy to drive too with no winding roads and it was not on a mountain top.

Decent but…

The house was decent and in a fairly good location about 1.5 miles off the parkway. The house could use a really good cleaning and a new mattress in the upstairs bedroom. We actually left a night early because it just sunk with us and I’m 135 my husband is 197 so it’s had a lot of uses. I wish there had been a pic from the front porch looking out because the house is right on the road and I was thinking it would have more of a yard. The house wasn’t dirty you could just tell it hasn’t had a deep cleaning in a long time. The area is quiet if you like that but you do go thru established neighborhoods to get to it . Also needs a new coffee pot this one is old and the buttons stick. Barely got it to work. Check in and out easy just needs some TLC.

Premium price for mediocre cabin. Not satisfied

Our experience at Karen’s Cabin (Bear Tootin) was not a positive one, overall. It was filthy. Couldn’t walk on hot tub deck/porch w/o shoes. Walls, baseboards, carpets, yuck! Outlet in bathroom did not work. Contacted on arrival. No reply for 2 days. Fixed day before checkout, but it was while we were out; & w/o notifying, so that wasn’t cool. Our experience wasn’t good & caused me stress & time reporting/sending photos. Bad response. I believe we should have received some money back. I let the contact who sent the initial door code, Wi-Fi, ect, know immediately upon our arrival on Sunday June 4th, that things were not acceptable. And I received no reply until I finally tried again. The place could still be nice with some good maintenance & major deep cleaning. The washer tub is really gross around the rim, & hot tub foams up awful. Needs some foam down or chemicals. Something else potential renters should know, is that you have to park around back & walk up steps around the house to enter up front with a keypad code. Then once you are in, you have to go downstairs in the house to open up that door for everyone else. They need a keypad entry for the door downstairs where you park. Someone is doing steps every time. If you rent, and it is still filthy, call them within 12 hours, they said they would have sent a cleaning person. But I messaged as soon as we arrived & got no reply. No discount for inconveniences. Overall, not satisfied. Would not stay again. 2 stars!
