The cabin itself was semi easy to locate, the driveway is up a very narrow hill and can easily be missed if not careful especially at night. It is secluded enough to enjoy the wildlife and scenery yet close enough to the city for entertainment. My party was able to see a variety of bears during our stay even had one walk onto the wraparound porch but the excitement of the children scared him away but just underneath the porch still visible when we stepped outside.As far as cleanliness goes I have to agree with past reviewers it was less than acceptable with spiderwebs everywhere and a small stinch. We bombed the cabin before unpacking, scrubbed down the showers and soaked all the cookware in cleaning solution. The pictures are very dated but you can tell it’s the same place just older with I guess normal wear and tear. The communication with the ‘point of contact’ leaves less than to be desirable as first outreach came off like she had an attitude or that my reaching out bothered her. I wanted to inquire about the roll away bed and air mattress as we were a party of 10. She stated there is no rollaway bed and the host has asked Evol to remove several times. We did not receive the air mattress although her response did not indicate nor imply that we would, but we made it work.The only enjoyable portion of this cabin was the wildlife. I’d air on side of CAUTION

Hi Kenyatta, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- The cabin is indeed located in a secluded area to provide guests with a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, but we understand that finding the driveway can be tricky, especially at night. We'll look into enhancing our directions to make it easier for future guests to locate.
- The cabin is a charming, vintage property that reflects its age with a unique character that many guests appreciate. The home features artwork from some of the Smoky Mountains’ greatest artists, adding to its historical connection to the area.
- Given the cabin's wooded location, being surrounded by nature is one of its charms. Despite our best efforts to maintain a spotless environment, a spider may occasionally slip in. These little critters are harmless and only trying to help by keeping other insects at bay, but we understand they can be an unwelcome surprise. We’ve shared your feedback with our cleaning team to ensure even more thorough inspections before each stay.
- We’re sorry to hear that the communication with our guest contact didn’t meet your expectations. We aim to ensure all our interactions are as warm and helpful as possible, and we’ll work on making sure future guests have a consistently positive experience.
- From Evolve: We take full responsibility for the previous inaccuracy regarding
the rollaway bed. The listing has since been updated, and we apologize for this oversight, which is not a reflection on the owner.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’ll continue to make improvements to provide a better experience for our guests, and we hope that future travelers will have an enjoyable stay!
All the basic necessities, no frills. Some spring cleaning (windows, baseboards that type of thing) is needed. Kitchen and baths and linens etc all clean and comfortable enough. Small touches like unbroken mini soaps or some complimentary keurig cups for the machine would be nice. Laundry machines and dishwasher would be great too. Worked fine for our family...we weren’t looking for luxurious features, just a nice clean place with comfortable beds to sleep in and this fit the bill. Thanks for sharing your home with us! Beautiful mountain view and great location to everywhere we were visiting!

Location is great, close to everything (Gatlinsburg and Pigeon Forge). I just don’t recommend arriving at night it’s very hidden and a little scary because it’s dark and on a very inclined hill. House is great overall. Rooms can use some brighter lighting, they only have lamps which don’t light up the rooms very well and can use a little more storage space ( there’s not much space for saving your clothes if you are there more than a few days). First bedroom’s closet door was broken not on its track. Cleanliness can be a little better, can see spider webs in the corners of the hall way and dust balls in the corner of the master bedroom, master bathroom wall by sink and toilet can be wiped down a little better, towels and linen can have been given some refreshing.
