We enjoyed the cabin and the Timber bar on the property. The staff was friendly and attentive.The cabin could use some updates and a little TLC. But, overall it was very spacious, had more than enough amenities to satisfy us. It is close enough to Gatlinburg to walk, approximately a quarter-mile walk. The walk back after dark was not well lit, but the flashlight on our phones was enough. We will definitely stay here again!

Check-in was easy. The home was very comfortable and roomy for our family of 6. We loved the cool architecture and the furnishings were functional as well as attractive. Everything worked great : kitchen, bathrooms, ac, laundry, WiFi. The pool table and hot tub were perfect for relaxing downtime between adventures. Parking on the property was plentiful and the location was easily walkable to the main strip in Gatlinburg which was a huge bonus. Our only concern was that WiFi was not password protected so I stuck with my cellular, just in case.

Overall a great experience. There was a couple things I wished were different. I know it’s a rental but the pool table and foosball are a big part of the stay with kids and the pool sticks needed retipped and there was no ball for foosball.

Great Location, home left a lot to be desired

We loved the location and proximity to Gatlinburg. As in the listing description, you do get Dollywood tickets, but it is only for one ticket, per attraction per day. Still a nice 82 savings but a little misleading. Home was adequate and fit our needs for a group of 7 looking for a decently priced place near Gatlinburg. However, the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. There was visible mold on the living room ceiling and exposed wires in one of the bedrooms, huge safety hazard. Furniture was old, trim pieces missing everywhere, just not super well kept. Was it fine for a few days, sure. Would I rent there again, definitely not.

Needs renovating

Overall, the property was very run down. It was located close to downtown Gatlinburg. However, it needs new furniture, had mold issues, a loud HVAC system, the dishwasher overheats and is a fire threat. Great location but poorly Maintained.

Perfect location for a quick trip with college kids

Although my husband complained about the hill up to the house from the downtown area, we were very happy with the property, location and price. Quick responses from owner on a few questions. Home reminded us of someplace in the U.P. The construction others commented on has been completed so no issues with that.

Has potential but needs some love.

It is walking distance but it’s on quite a hill. The pool table is honestly a safety hazard & propped up with an old paper plate. We didn’t even play on it bc it’s so unstable it was concerning. The fooseball table is about the same condition. Most players missing their head and one is black taped back to the pole. The ball return is broke and a piece of cardboard is taped under the table you can reach up inside to get the ball & propped up with a couple books…. The dishes were absolutely disgusting. The hot tub is lovely and seems clean but the hot tub area locks from the outside so anyone can come in from the road if they want & the fence is kind of falling off on the other side. The extension cord for the hot tub are lights is falling apart & random switch plates left unwired. The cleaning is also unimpressive … none of our party has long grey hair but our floors certainly did. The furnace sounds like a jet engine but it was loud enough to drown out the living room noise into the bedroom since there’s a big opening at the top of the wall between the rooms. Beds were very comfortable tho & I’m a loud white noise person so I slept well. The fire places are also both welded shut, curtains are missing & smoke detectors are missing.

Dog friendly, lots of space

Overall the property was great for our needs. Bedrooms spacious. Common area(s) very spacious. It is dated and bathrooms are small w little to no counter space. Neither of these made me or my group lose any sleep. It is walkable to downtown but if you are walking back to the cabin at night-no sidewalks or lighting and you have to walk on the road. We walked both days, even so far as to walk all the way to the anakeesta lifts. The owners were very upfront about the construction around the cabin so I have no complaints there. Owners very easy and quick to communicate with. The back deck and hot tub was lovely.

Nice Property But Poor Customer Service and Communication From Host

Poor customer service and communication from this host. Inaccurate property description. The house we rented was spacious and clean and close to downtown Gatlinburg. However, the listing stated the house had 2 fireplaces which was a main reason we chose to book it. Upon our arrival, we discovered both fireplaces were welded shut. I sent a message to the host. He didn't reply. I contacted VRBO who was able to get in touch with the host. The host then got back to me, stating, "we will not be opening the fireplace and allowing use as it is against local ordinance for Gatlinburg Fire Code." That is false, as we own two properties in the city with operable wood burning fireplaces and have stayed in several other properties in the city with gas and wood burning fireplaces and outdoor fire pits. The host then updated the listing to reflect the fireplaces are not operable, and offered to let us use a fireplace in a lobby of a lodge they own across the street. At that point it was 6pm on the evening before we were leaving. He later apologized and offered us 20% off our next stay. That did not work for us as we own two of our own properties in the area and usually stay there. Nothing else was offered to make up for this issue. I sent a message back to the host and he did not reply. This is poor customer service and communication on the host's part. I will not stay in an Ayres owned vacation rental again.

Fall break escape

We loved the location and the house was spacious with everything we needed. The actual setup of the home was a little confusing when it came time to figure out sleeping arrangements for everyone. The bedroom that actually has an attached bathroom is not the bedroom i would actually call the master. But that was honestly my biggest complaint and was easily solved. We loved the location, saw a couple bears, could see the tram go overhead, it was very nice. Yes, there is still construction, but it did not cause me any personal discomfort. We would absolutely stay here again.
