Reviews

• Cabin by Dollywood

  5/5

  Girls trip. Place was one level, which was wonderful change from 2, 3, or 4 story cabin. Especially loved covered porch with fire pit and lots of seating for large group. Our contact was Monica, always upbeat and accomodating!!

• Nice and private but definitely had some issues

  4/5

  Overall, it was a nice house and stay. It was roomy and felt private yet it was close to town.

  They say the good outweighs the bad so here are the bad things that stuck out while staying here.

  The communication with the owners was nonexistent. I sent messages weeks before my booking and while there, no response.

  My friend had to clean the pool, backwash the pool filter, and pulled a grocery bag sized amount of hair out. It was gross.

  The house itself had a bunch of tiny notes all around the patio, some you couldn’t see because of the placement and how they blended in to the wall. They definitely need to type EVERYTHING up on one page and hang it on the fridge or something so they can actually be seen.

  The beds were very uncomfortable unfortunately. The microwave was broken and the washer and dryer is located in the closet of someone’s bedroom.

  Also, the check in info had a few door codes on it, some were obviously old and didn’t work on any of the locks. Thank goodness the correct ones were also on there because as I said, we couldn’t get in touch with anyone.

  House was perfect for our family! Very clean, beautiful pool, large kitchen, wonderful family room, great parking & minutes to everything. Communications with our contact person was easy. Hope to stay again next year. Thank you for a wonderful memory!

  5/5

  A nice large home for our big family. The pool was a very nice touch for the kids. Overall the pool was great with plenty of seating. However, none of the pool furniture appeared to have been cleaned for the season, so we spent a few hours cleaning it all. The projector TV and game system in the home were nice. Enjoyed the patio area at night. We had toilet issues the first day of our stay, but the owner promptly got the plumber out (Sunday) to fix it. A number of burnt out light bulbs. The home was spacious and nice overall. Owner very pleasant. Enjoyed our stay.

• Pros & Cons

  3/5

  Cons:

  Upon arrival, the pool was a mess, which was disappointing. When I reached out to the host, she promptly responded that the maintenance tech would be out shortly. A few hours later, he arrived to clean the pool. When I asked for instruction on how to vacuum the pool, he said he didn’t know how it worked but then proceeded to vacuum it. He left without any instruction on how to clean pool during our stay. There is a net to scoop out debris but no pole, so we literally got in the dirty pool to scoop out the bugs and debris if we wanted to swim.

  •Porch area dirty.

  •Grills dirty & firepit didn’t work.

  •Dryer stopped working. However, very quick response time by host to replace washer/dryer set. Much appreciated.

  •Main house fridge ice maker not working and moldy. Had to buy own ice for the week.

  •Refrigerator froze food we purchased.

  •Leak in tub causing mold in bathroom.

  •Musty smell in family room / theater room. House could use dehumidifiers.

  •No hangers for clothes.

  •Minimal toiletries provided.

  •Bedroom suite near driveway has ant problem in bathroom tub area.

  •Mold in guest cottage shower.

  Pros

  •Gathering spaces have plenty of seating for families.

  •Close proximity to towns.

  •Quiet area.

  •Ample parking.

  •Responsive host.

  Could be a nice place if maintained properly and cleaned up before guests arrive. Our family made it work, but we were a little disappointed for the price we paid.
