I bet it’s great in the summer!
We booked this location somewhat last minute due to a thanksgiving plan change. Ryan was kind to host us w/ little notice. We enjoyed our family time & made the most of it!
Pros:
-stellar communication with owner! Ryan was quick to respond & incredibly kind!
-Oh the fun one might have here in the warmer months! Love the rocks!
-15mins to town if you need anything.
-Super comfy beds & our kids loved the air hockey! The stair door can be closed to keep game noise at a minimum. Nice feature.
-Adequate dishes for large groups & having both a Keurig AND brew pot was a plus!
-We encountered a few housekeeping details that were not as the owner intended & he was incredibly generous to refund our cleaning fee. You can tell the owners care & have a great heart!
Cons:
-Driveway is STEEP. As in, we frequent Pigeon Forge mountain sides & this was steep even for us. We got in & out, but deep winter travelers will need 4-wheel drive.
-Ryan was kind to let us know after booking that they have ‘seasonal water,’ meaning their cove’s water level drops significantly during the winter months. There was no water or dock during our stay. We knew & needed to not shift plans again, but other winter travelers will want to be aware before booking as that is not in the listing.
TLDR: Super kind, communicative owners. Probably better for warmer months. Not our best VRBO stay. But incredibly thankful for time & space with family, which is truly all that matters, right? :)
