Discovering The Smokies |
Reviewed by: SmokeyNewbies from Gurnee, Il.

This was our first family trip to the Smokey Mountains and we absolutely loved it. The cabin was just as wonderful as we hoped and the service we received from Linell was terrific. Her suggestions for local BBQ and places to enjoy the park away from some of the crowds were spot on. We plan to come back very soon and now we'll be better prepared to explore more of the park.
After making our first journey into Pidgeon Forge and seeing the mass commercialism on the strip we were SOOO glad we stayed in the Wears Valley area. It was so much more relaxed and peaceful, and provided easy access to the park.
The one suggestion I would have to improve the experience would be to offer WiFi service in the cabins. I know a vacation should be a chance to get away from the demands of modern life, but some things can't wait and email can be a necessary evil. A minor point in an otherwise great experience.
We asked our girls, 8 and 10 years old, would they rather go to Disney World or come back to the Smokies - and they chose the Smokies hands down. What better recommendation could there be!

Wow....glad to hear we won out over Disney World!
We wish we could offer WiFi connectivity at every cabin but unfortunately the mountains and steep terrain prohibit many homes from being able to receive any reasonable WiFi service. However, we do have WiFi available at our offices for our guests' use.
Thanks for the wonderful review and hope to see you back soon! |

The cabin was very neat, clean and well stocked with supplies. A christmas tree was even set up in the living room.
We had a few maintenance issues but the staff was quick to see that the repairs were made.
The sitting area was to small to comfortably sit 4 adults. We were unable to play card games.
I had trouble comming back to the cabin at night with the entrance gate. The key pad would not illuminate until after I entered the first number which was difficult to find.
Overall the cabin was very very nice and the staff was most helpful. Next time I will try to find a cabin with a larger living area. |

| This was the best stay we've ever experienced in the mountains !! The cabin was beautiful and had everything a person could ask for. We loved the roomy space, Wonderful Jacuzzi that we got to enjoy while the snow peppered down. The atmosphere at the Dejavu was just cozy and pleasant. The trip included Me, my husband and two sons, Even the boys being the ages of 10-11 thought this cabin was the bomb !! We will definetely stay again this year. |

Comfy home - Great for naps |

| This home was beautifully decorated with all the comforts of home. Having a bedroom upstairs and downstairs is great if you are vacationing with small children or another couple, as you have the privacy you desire. I wish the deck had been covered, as it was too hot to sit on the deck during the day, so we all had to huddle up on the front porch and were way too cramped. |

We arrived to start our much needed vacation. My mom was going through chemo and this was our week get away to rest and relax.
My mom, Aunt, friend and I found when we arrived, The Cabin is hard to find and located up a steep grate. You would need 4 wheel drive if it was winter or icy.
The Driveway to the Cabin is Steep.
We got into the cabin which appears comfortable at first glance.
But the cabin was in disrepair when it came to actual fact.
The hot water heater was broken and could not handle filling one of the tubs half way when ran completely on hot water.
The hottub outside was strapped down with a bungee cord and the lid covering was in disrepair.
The Hot Tub jets were sluggish and wimpy.
The Cabin had electrical problems, light switches are difficult to locate, and fans are hard to turn off or on.
Stairs leading to upper story are angled and uneven so dangerous unless you are sure footed.
We found a fingernail in the sheets in the bed upstairs. It was a large painted nail. Disgusting!
We hope the cleaning lady is the one who lost it but don't know.
The upper bathroom has a water leek from the tub directly into the downstairs bathroom which makes the lower story bathroom floor slippery, and wet.
The kitchen has minimal pots and pans and is small.
The TV and DVD controls were missing and hidden in an cabinet up above the refrigerator.
When I contacted the management office about the hot water heater not working correctly and that the first person to take a bath running it completely on hot could not even get a half of a tub of water that was luke warm, they said I wasn't the first to bathe and the hot water heater hadn't had time to regain hot water. I stated again I was first to bathe and the hot water heater was not working correctly.
They disregarded what I was saying because I am a woman and they didn't feel I knew what I was saying. The manager admitted this to me later in our stay.
They finally sent someone to fix the problem a few days into our stay after many calls to request it be fixed.
For the record I was first to bathe in our group and the hot water heater definetly was not able to handle filling one tub half way much less 2 bath tubs full.
After the midweek repair it could run a full tub of water that was Luke warm.
We ended up taking quick showers.
We spoke to the manager at the main office and took a list of our concerns. He said he couldn't do anything about it and argued with me that even though I found a fingernail in the upstairs bed that it was clean and he was offended when I showed him the nail.
He eventually promised a partial refund but never came through.
The manager was not friendly and in fact argued and was unpleasant to deal with.
We went to the smokies for a relaxing time and took care selecting our cabin.
I spoke on the phone with them a few times before making the reservation to make sure the cabin had easy access and let them know 2 of the ladies were blind with Guide Dogs.
I was assured that yes, it was easy to access and there was a place for the Guide Dogs to be releived.
When we arrived we found the area was on a very steep hill incline and again the stairs leading to upstairs was very dangerous, uneven, slick, and non uniform.
When speaking with the manager before we left he told me they weren't aware 2 of us were blind. I pointed out I specifically called them about this a couple months before our stay.
Nothing was ever done to compensate us for finding a fingernail in the upstairs bed, the frustration of no hot water, the issues with their property being in disrepair, even though we were promised a partial refund.
This is not a property run with integrity, honesty or hospitality and much about it isn't what it appears.
I would recommend anyone seeking a cabin
Rental to go check out southern living's magazine for recommendations on where to stay and avoid this cabin rental like it had the plague. Next time we visit the smokies I plan to use southern Living Magazines reviewed sites and recommendations...
You don't get your money's worth and it isn't relaxing to have to contact the manager and then have him argue with you.
We really wanted and needed a sister and mother daughter get away and we loved the smoky mountains and visiting Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We loved the Smoky Mountain National Park.
We enjoyed our visits to the Old Mill area in Pigeon Forge and the Apple Cider Barn and shopping area.
The moonshine store is a neat stop as well.
But this cabin is not at all what it advertises.
We would never stay with this cabin rental company again.

We honestly strive to ensure every single Great Cabins guest has the most enjoyable and problem free stay possible. Apparently, we somehow failed with your stay and for that I again apologize.
Regarding the cabins' state of disrepair, this cabin was just built within the last 1 1/2 years. No, the water heater does not have an unlimited capacity to supply large quantities of hot water without time to recover. Yes, our hot tubs have a bungee cord over them to secure the covers so they do not blow off during high winds. Our light switches are labeled and the ceiling fans have labeled switches also. We promptly dispatched maintenance personnel to the cabin to check the switches to verify that they were working properly and there were 'no electrical problems'.
We made every reasonable attempt to address this guests' many concerns, including offering to provide a full refund for the value of the remaining stay. The guest was not happy with this offer, and instead decided to stay for the remainder of her week long stay.
Again, we want every guest to have a fantastic stay and be totally pleased with our vacation homes. We will go to great strides to make this happen. |
