It's the most beautiful cabin I've been to it has beautiful bedrooms. The bathrooms were beautiful,…read morethey were very clean. The pool itself was warm that outside living, but the TV was excellent, with the gas grill, if you don't want to go anywheres and spend some time at the cabin, you got everything to a movie theater game room. Outside living beautiful nature. The people were very nice if you needed anything.I give it a ten and I think the families would enjoy this cabin

We stayed in the Firefly Lodge cabin…read more Useful building details for the Firefly Lodge: -There is one stair required to get into the cabin. Someone who has difficulty with stairs could still enjoy the cabin as there's a full King-sized bedroom with attached no-ledge standing shower on the first floor. However, the King-sized bed is surprisingly tall (even our 6' tall people have to hop into it), so this may be a problem. The movie theater is up a flight of stairs. -The movie theater has 8 "movie theater" chairs complete with cupholders. They are a comfortable, but snug, fit on my size 22 hips. The cup holders do raise up for more space. Each chair reclines, but you have to apply pressure to keep it reclined; it doesn't stay nicely reclined for napping. -There is a toilet, essentially, in a spacious closet right next to the pool table. There is a two-sink bathroom with standing shower (with curtain) in the first floor bedroom with King bed and heart tub. The second bedroom has a full-sized tub/shower combo with curtain and two sinks upstairs with the bunk beds. (Bunk beds are gigantic and either queens or fulls). The third bedroom, upstairs, has a single sink with standing glass shower in addition to a white jacuzzi tub and King-sized bed. -You have neighbors, but sound matters more here. The sound carries well over the mountain, but from your back porch, as long as trees are in bloom, it's hard to see anyone else. Best enjoyment of the cabin: -Plan for chilly mornings. Temperature rises in this two-story cabin, and the first floor can get chilly while the second floor is comfortable. Use the fireplace as your primary heating source on the first floor. It's REALLY effective. Pack long sleeves and pants - even if you don't think the weather warrants it. Weather gets weirder up in the mountains. -If you're addicted to caffeine and terrible at making it, the Gatlingburg Grind coffeeshop is about a 5 minute drive away as your closest coffee option. -If you're not familiar with mountain driving, do not let the GPS take you on Lower Powdermill Rd. Eat the few extra minutes and use Boogertown to avoid the one-lane, no-line road of Lower Powdermill. PROS: -Everything (aside from a grill hiccup) worked flawlessly. The projector system worked (once you followed the instructions to a T. I've never seen an entire system routed through a soundbar?), the pool table had all of its accessories, the fireplace popped on as expected, laundry was great, -Fantastic water pressure and hot water tank capacity. We have yet to run out of hot water during a shower. -The complex's roads are paved. Some of them are steep (I wouldn't attempt them with a sedan while icy), but they were just fine for our sedans in the rain. You can get to the complex by using fully paved roads as well. -The cabin feels private from the back porch. There are neighbors around, but the back porch overlooks the forest, and it's pretty much trees as far as the eye can see. This makes the hot tub (which overlooks these trees) feel pretty luxurious. CONS: -The cabin is about 25 minutes away from most of the activities at Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/Sevierville. If you book this cabin, though, you probably know that, and it's more of an "FYI" than a Con. -No easy/safe way to really "hike" the complex. The only paved roads are driving roads - many with blind curves. The porch of most of the cabins overhangs a sharp cliff/mountainside. Despite being in the middle of the beautiful woods, there isn't anywhere here that's really made for walking. -Cabin has the bare basics, but it's missing a lot of things that have been standard in other VRBOs - like spices for grilling. Expect to buy literally everything aside from salt and pepper. -Check-in time was supposed to be 3PM. They were supposed to send a code via text when it was ready, but instead, around 2:30 PM, we got an email stating the cabin was running late and to expect a later check-in at 4PM. We could make that work. We spent time sitting around in town, dawdling for groceries, etc. Finally, we hadn't heard back from anyone by 4:45PM, so we started making the trek to the cabin. At 5:15PM, still nothing. We figured we'd talk to a human when we made it to the complex, so we started the drive - only to find there is no lobby/human. When we made it to the cabin at 5:15, still with no way to get into the cabin, we were very frustrated to find we didn't have any cell service or internet. So no way to reach out at all. We had to go driving through the mountains to get enough service to call someone. They responded quickly saying they had a known glitch in the system today that didn't send out codes as expected, but with as few cabins as they own, it seems weird that no one bothered to reach out to the few people checkin in that day to make sure we didn't waste 3 hours waiting on them. -Our cabin had a propane line leak, but they were quick (same day) in sending someone out to fix it.

We recently attempted to stay at the Cozy Bear from 8/28-9/1/25. Our experience was far below…read moreexpectations. I encountered several issues that made my stay uncomfortable, including: * Smell - Mold/Mildew/Smoke - very stale and irritating allergens - it was hard to even stay inside the smell was so offensive * Jacuzzi tub - black grit/dirt coming out of faucet with water; loud squealing noise in pipes? * Hot Tub - green slime in tub, odd chemical smell - not related to chlorine products * Tub/Shower - brown water coming out of faucet for extended period of time * TV remote would not work * Yellow stained sheets, smelling of smoke All of these were discovered upon check-in. It appeared that the cabin may not have been used for some time and wasn't updated for guest arrival. We attempted to eliminate the odor with sprays/disinfectants that we had to go and purchase. We then attempted to use the hot tub, jets would not stay on and there appeared to be some sort of slime in the tub. Upon exiting the hot tub, we tried the jacuzzi tub to rinse the slime off; that water was just as bad, then attempted to shower only to find it much worse. We gave the cabin a chance even though we weren't happy upon arrival. Things just progressively got worse. This was such a disappointment for our Anniversary stay. We travel often and have rented cabins in a variety of areas across the country. Older/aged cabins are common to us; this was well below expectations and description. We unfortunately did not trust that we would be able to seek resolution at 10pm and chose to check into a cabin owned by a different company. We did not get settled until well after midnight somewhere else and lost so much time.

Awesome experience. Super easy user friendly booking and check in without any personal interaction…read more Would definitely be a return user/customer.

I am a travel agent. I booked a family at a Cabins for You property. I will never book one here…read moreever again. 1. The cleaning was sub par with bugs and dirt and cobwebs in the house. It left my clients wondering how clean the rest of the house was. 2. The private pool was shocked on the day my clients arrived. They were informed that the pool was safe to use, but the water burned their eyes from the chemicals. 3. My clients noticed late at night that the dishwasher was broken and they were unable to use it their entire stay. They weee shocked to see that they had charged for breaking it when they weren't even able to use it in the first place. I will never recommend any of the properties owned by Cabins For You. I would advise buyer be ware to anyone considering renting from this company. Who knows how many families have been charges $115 at checkout for a broken dishwasher that they never even get to use. When I tried to call the company to discuss this issue the lady who answered the phone was very unpleasant to talk to.

They also have a fire pit to the side for residents to use. The outside light lines add a really cute touch to the spot. The owners were really helpful and easy to reach. I will say that I wish they cleaned up a little better before guests arrived. I know it's in the woods, but the dead bugs on the window shelf grossed me out. That aside, it is a little cramped but you shouldn't have a problem making used of the space to enjoy your stay. The beds are also comfy. Also I liked that they left a recommendation books for guests not familiar with the area.

Christmas vacation with family of 9 (6 adults/3 kids). We were all thoroughly impressed as soon as…read morewe entered the beautiful cabin. We stayed in Ole Smokey Retreat, and it was just as magnificent as the pictures. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and pretty much everything we needed to cook with during our stay. Each bedroom had it's own unique design and the pool table in the bottom floor was a nice addition. It actually wasn't too cold while we were there, so we were tempted to try the hot tub, but eventually decided against it. You don't actually interact with any of the staff, but from my discussions on the phone with them, they seem like nice folks. Would definitely rent from them again if we take a trip to the area again. A couple tips: This cabin is actually in Pigeon Forge, not Gatlinburg. If you're not familiar with the area, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are neighboring towns and you can get to all the Gatlinburg attractions in less than 10 minutes. Pigeon Forge has a lot of great things to do as well if you want to stay closer to the cabin. You're close enough to everything, but just far enough from the main drag that it feels a lot more peaceful when you're at the cabin. Also, you absolutely MUST eat breakfast at Mama's Farmhouse while you are there!

Absolutely. Post something factual, calm, and detailed. I'd use this for both:…read more I would not recommend booking this cabin/with this company based on our experience. Before we ever arrived, we had multiple payment-related issues that required weeks of back and forth to resolve. The full balance was pulled incorrectly, I received messages saying our payment had been declined despite providing screenshots showing the charge and confirmation, and it took repeated communication before the payment was finally located and confirmed. Unfortunately, once we arrived, the cabin was not properly cleaned between guests. There was a strong smoke odor throughout the cabin, broken glass left behind, personal belongings from previous guests, clothing under furniture, confetti/debris, and remnants from what appeared to be a prior party. We had children staying with us, so the broken glass was especially concerning. Because we arrived shortly before scheduled dinner reservations, we did not spend our first night waiting on housekeeping or maintenance. Instead, we handled it ourselves so our family could safely settle in. We stripped beds, sanitized surfaces, cleaned bathrooms, and purchased replacement bedding and towels locally because of the smoke odor and concerns about cleanliness. We still made the best of our time in Pigeon Forge, but the overall experience fell far below expectations, especially given the amount paid for the stay. After checkout, I contacted management privately with photos and details of the issues. I also sent a polite follow-up when I received no response. As of posting this review, I still have not received any acknowledgment or response. Mistakes happen, but the lack of communication after being given the opportunity to address the situation privately is incredibly disappointing. Based on the cleanliness concerns, safety issue with broken glass, payment problems, and lack of response from management, I would not book again.
