    Found this chalets rental company through a Google search and the rates were decent. I booked in advance to our trip into Gatlinburg. The check-in process was easy as you just pick up the key from the management office. Renting a cabin gives you access to their clubhouses, there are there scattered about the area. We rented the cabin at 918 Echo Place. The cabin itself was beautiful and a nice location. It is 2 floors. Had 1 bedroom a nice size living room with high ceilings and windows and a fireplace (we didn't use because I could not figure out how or if it worked), a decent sized kitchen, did have some appliances and kitchen utensils but no wine opener which sucked for us. The upstairs had a tv and a pool table which was cool. There's a door upstairs that was broken and didn't lock, had a stick to place to lock. However, beyond the door is a walkway to an outside jacuzzi. We definitely took advantage of the jacuzzi which was a nice added feature. Overall the cabin was enjoyable and I would have given this company a better rating. It was the checkout experience that soured the experience. When calling for a late checkout, they did extend it till 12PM. I was told it would be an additional $100 for a late checkout at 1:30 PM. But they said if the key was returned a minute later than 12PM we would be charged for a late checkout. It was a rude way to go about it. Especially since you have to be out at 11:45am technically to return the key to the management office by 12PM. Overall I would still recommend this cabin rental company, but the customer service could be a bit more friendly. Side note : FYI rent a car! Cabs are not regularly available!

    So much to say about "Bella Vista". Wanted so badly to love this cabin. The pictures of this rental were absolutely stunning, and the view looked amazing. Didn't see too many poor reviews, until after we had passed the refund period. Dirty, SO dirty. So many cobwebs in corners, above the fireplace, hanging from the ceiling. Killed a few spiders, one of which ran across the dining table. Also killed a cockroach running through the dining room. The problem is, the weather stripping on the entry doors (deck side) has a huge gap in it, so anything can crawl right in. Dust on top of the doorways, trim, in the bathroom fan. In the kitchen, a small wooden cookbook holder appeared to have been eaten through by termites or some other type of wood burrowing insect and piles of saw dust were on the kitchen shelf....clearly it hadn't been cleaned before our visit. The tub in the old bathroom is cracked. The new bathroom needs major cleaning. Mildew around the shower, the trim is filthy and never got painted after they put it up. In the master bedroom, they put up new curtains & curtain rods, but the old bracket is STILL on the wall above the one window. The ceiling light in the new bathroom is burnt out, also the microwave light (surface light) is burnt out. So many things going on in this rental. It desperately needs a deep, DEEP clean, and major maintenance. Also the new young trees that are growing on the property need trimming. The view of downtown Gatlinburg is now completely blocked. The good news is, we did have a couple bears on the property, that was a nice surprise. And the size of the kitchen is great!!Overall, really disappointed in our stay, for the fact that I spent hard earned money on this cabin, and it wasn't cheap. I really hope this property can receive some TLC before the next guest.

    Our stay was the week of August 10th, we didn't have a car & this was an issue the area is not really recommended for walking our mistake duly noted for future reference. Our cabin was at 918 Echo Place, walking in u see a Table & BBQ set up outside, the cabin is 2 floors kitchen, living room, bathroom & bedroom are below while upstairs you have a hang out area with a pool table, u head outside & u have the Jacuzzi set up very nice. Cabin has high ceilings, tall glass windows, clean & nicely decorated. No toiletries aside from a small soap in the bathroom, fireplace did not quite work? Plus the door heading out to the Jacuzzi was held closed by a stick! The Kitchen they do provide dishes & pans to use, some kitchen utensils as well I was shocked that they did not have a wine opener? Seems like they should! They did have other tools not in the best condition but at least they had something. I wanted to give this place the 4 starts because the cabin itself was lovely but settled on the 3 because first check out is 11am, too early! We were able to get the "late" check out at 12pm but not really because u don't even get the full hour since u have to return the key by 12.. Now we had asked about a later check out initially till 130pm they said it would cost $100, why so much? when we asked for the 12pm check out they said the key had to be back by 12 "not a minute later" otherwise u would be charged $100 dollars honestly this was just plain rude!! The day we left happen to be a crappy morning since it was raining we would have paid the $100 had they been nicer about it just simply because we had the time to kill & didn't want to spend it at the airport. This was a decent rental for the time we were there but because of their rudeness chances are we would not rent from them again.

    Peaceful morning coffee.

    I had the MOST amazing 2 week stay with Mountain Laurel Chalets in their newly renovated Dogwood Cottage in May 2020! Spacious rooms, immaculately clean, peaceful mountain views from enormous windows, sparkling hot tub under the stars, and even a few friendly bear visits!! The all-new kitchen is fantastic. (There's even a pool table!! Wow!) Five minutes to town or the Smoky Mountains National Park, but still feels very private. LOVED IT, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Our stay at Mountain Laurel Chalets' Dogwood Cottage has been exactly what we needed. The two bedroom/two bath cottage is nicely appointed, comfortable, secluded, and surrounded by the beauty of the Smokey Mountains. Restaurants, walking trails, and all kinds of fun attractions are just a mile down Ski Mountain Road. A real plus is the Mountain Laurel staff. They arare wonderful to work with-professional, friendly, and caring. They offer all different size homes to accommodate a variety of groups.

    The only reason I'm giving this property 4 stars is because when we checked in to move into our cabin, they had checked in another guest into our rental and didn't bother to ID the guest who claimed to be us. I was told this was "the first time this has ever happened" but it didn't make me feel any better. However, the management staff gave me a partial refund and several free gifts so I appreciated that. Despite the mess up, we WILL be rebooking with this property. Our cabin -Paradise Point I - was absolutely beautiful. The jacuzzi was nice and clean and a fun way to relax. The pool table upstairs was very fun to play with and the cabin itself was just gorgeous. Would definitely recommend!!

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.

We rented the property with the primary and secondary treehouses. The primary treehouse was acceptable. The counters hadn't been properly wiped down, and the bedroom had a musty, locker-room smell. I cleaned the counters and used some air freshener, so it was manageable. Unfortunately, the secondary treehouse, where our kids were staying, was a completely different story. There was a horrible sewage smell coming from the bathroom. At first it was noticeable but tolerable because the cleaners had left the bedroom windows open. Once it got hot and we closed the windows, the odor became overwhelming. Every time someone flushed the toilet, turned on the sink, or took a shower, the smell became nauseating. It was so bad that all of us were forced to use the bathroom in the primary treehouse instead. We reported the issue, but after eight hours with no response, we reached out again and were simply told they were sorry for the inconvenience. After spending a long, hot day hiking, we returned to find that the sewage smell had spread throughout the entire treehouse. Since no one had addressed the problem or offered a solution, we packed up and drove home that evening rather than stay another night. The following day, we were told that maintenance couldn't find anything wrong. That response was frustrating because the odor was impossible to ignore. It leaves me concerned that the issue may not be fixed before future guests stay there. The smell was so severe that we were genuinely worried about the health and safety of anyone sleeping in that treehouse. The company refunded us only half of one night's stay, even though we reported the issue much earlier in the day and ultimately had to cut our trip short. It's disappointing because the property itself is beautiful and has so much potential. Unfortunately, our experience with the condition of the secondary treehouse and the company's response means I would think twice before booking here again.

If you live in a flat state like I do and are not used to driving on mountain roads, you may want to ensure you arrive before dark. We needed a place for family from both Chicago and Tampa, FL to meet and this was the perfect spot. Once we arrived, it was a nice surprise to find this spacious, clean and comfortable home on the side of a cliff. From the front driveway, the home appears smaller. But once you enter, you are greeted by a beautiful vaulted ceiling, well kept hardwood floors and inviting, open spaces. The 3 bathrooms were all very nicely decorated and we love the large, updated showers. The bear decor throughout the house we stayed in is so charming and the kitchen is very well stocked. It was a treat having a hot tub to sit in after a long day of hiking. We also appreciated the pet friendly accommodations. We've rented VRBO houses before and always end up bringing our own hand soap, paper towels and toilet paper. But the host provided plenty of these items for our entire 3 night stay. We had a gracious host and he was a great communicator. Sadly, we did not see any bears during our stay but witnessed amazing views of the city lights, moon, stars and sunrise from the decks. The swing on the porch, pool table, ice maker and washer dryer are added bonuses too. We highly recommend this area, if you can drive on the challenging mountain curves, Great Gatlinburg getaway!

That was 41 years ago but we spent time up here for our 40th anniversary this year - using them exclusively since we found them about 20 years ago. I think the ownership went thru change since we've been coming here but we exclusively and use them at least 3-4 times a year. Their special for last minute trips is incredible. After 20 years, 3-4 times a year (so we've stayed in most of them), each one has always been clean as a whistle. We have figured that we have stayed with them over 60 trips. At least. We've never stayed with anyone else the past 20 years! Our favorite place is at the top of the mountain at the water tower. However three of the four we always stayed at and liked the best, all but one was burned down in the Gatlinburg Fire of 2016. It burned down to their concrete footprint. They finally got one of them rebuilt and just opened back up so we are leaving Friday to go there. It's at the very top of the mountain and you can see for miles and miles. Yet it is only 5 min from the Parkway, behind Dollywood. You would think a cabin on the to of the mountain with its incredible view would be miles from the Parkway but it's only a short 5-8 minutes. I can never praise their staff enough. They are awesome people to work with. Some of our favorite restaurants we never miss are the Applewood for bfast, Guy Fieri's restaurant and arcade ( this is awesome and relatively new and great to go because there is a Crumbl and Ice Cream shop next door that are for that sweet tooth we always seem to get worse up there), Chop House, Cherokee Grill (Gburg), Ogles Farmers Kitchen ( I think this is the name. It right close to going in for Applewood. We've just recently found this and have been multiple times), The Pottery Barn Cafe is usually our first place we hit coming into town. There is also Paula Deens, Chop House, and Johnny Carino's. This is just for starters. Stay here and you won't regret 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.

    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 rented a cabin for vacation for July 5th -July 11th. The…read morerental was Scenic Creek from Elk Springs Resort in Gatlinburg, TN. Upon arriving to the cabin there was a musty smell, fruit flies all over the cabin. There was also a rotten egg smell that was very mild. I thought it was from the refrigerator that didn't seem to be that clean. The stove was VERY unclean on the outside and in the oven. This was a gas stove. When we pulled the bed sheets back there was human hair and dirt. One of the beds the sheets were yellowed. We washed all bed sheets there at the cabin. We further discovered that some of the outlets in the bedrooms and kitchen did not work. I contacted the company and told them our issues. They offered to bring us new sheets but did not offer anything for the flies or outlets. They advised I try the breaker. We went out to the store and brought fly traps that worked. There were ants all over the kitchen counters and coming from behind the stove. We investigatged the hot tub that evening to find out that it was only 1/4 the way full, we could not even use it. We were gointg to cook on the gas grill outside on the patio but as soon as I took the cover off to inspect, it was VERY filty as well. Those were two amenties we were unable to use although they were advertised. The next morning we attempted to make breakfast, after I wiped down the top of the stove. I cooked bacon in the oven, it caught fire as I was taking the bacon out of the oven. It was short lived and did not have to use anything. I wasn't able to use the oven again the whole trip. Another thing gone that wasn't usable and it's acutally a good thing because that rotten egg smell worsened by Friday night that it was unbearable. We thought maybe a gas leak, so called company again and told them what was going on. They stated they only had one technician and wasn't sure how long it would take him to get out there. I called the fire dpartment and it was confirmed to be a gas leak, the fire department told the resort they had to relocate us for the night. So at midnight we had to pack up the entire house of stuff we had and move quickly to another location. That was a big inconvience. We had to call an ambulance for one of our family members who had gotten very ill smelling the gas leak. Mind you this had been leaking since being there. Two family members were slighty ill all week with headaches and stomach issues. I ask the resort for a partial refund due to the unclean cabin, not being able to use the amenties listed and the inconviences we faced while there. They gave us only a 17% refund which was basically the cost of one night. I have filled a report with the BBB and will continue to post this. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY. On a side note the cabin they did relocate us to was nice and clean but the bed sheets yet again were not. Save yourself some frustration and stay away from this company. The only good thing at the cabin was the creek that relaxing and we got a visit from a MAMA bear and her two cubs that came through the yard.

    Stay away from using this company for a real estate transaction. They were negligent in their…read moreresponsibilities, unprofessional, untruthful, uncommunicative and not knowledgeable of the area. Cherise, our agent, undervalued our property according to other real estate agents. She was negligent in her responsibilities throughout the process. She did not follow up on whether the escrow money was in place within the time limit. We had to ask the title company. At that point the contract had been breached and the property should have reverted back to us, but Cherise only cared about her commission rather than her customer notifying the buyer who then wired the funds. As time went on, we felt she was not adequately representing us, but rather the buyer. We requested to speak with the broker Mr. Reece. Our request was ignored. I literally had to remind her of what she needed to do with respect to amendments to the agreement. We had issues with the buyer who for a second time breached he contract and asked Cherise what our options were. This request was also ignored as was a request for the written requests for extension from the buyer. Cherise did not follow the agreement, in fact seemed clueless to what it said. She accepted an unacceptable method of notification for a written extension and was clueless about the closing date requirements, as well as, when she needed to initiate and amendment to the Agreement. Mr. Reece was on copy to all the email communication. We requested a reduction in fee from Mr. Reece, the broker, based on inadequate representation and the fact we had to lead Cherise by the hand. That request was ignored. The title company stepped in at the end and took over assisting us. I have been through several real estate closings and I have never seen such incompetence in my life. This isn't sour grapes. I spent 26 years writing, negotiating, modifying and administering contractual agreements.

    Cabins of the Smoky Mountains - also known as Gatlinburg Falls Resort and other names…read more My group checked into the cabin referred to as Mountain Theatre Lodge which boast of the below: Spacious Accommodations: The lodge features five well-appointed bedrooms, including king and queen beds, along with additional sleeping options to comfortably host up to 14 guests. My Review: This boasts that you can comfortably sleep up to 14 guests in one area- 24 in another, slightly confusing but let's do the math -5 king beds sleep 10, 2 queen bunks sleep 8 total, & 3 sleeper sofas sleep 6, so that would be 24 -no idea why it contradicts itself - possibly to have a crutch to lean on with all the accommodations they don't actually offer. Let's talk about the 3 queen sofa beds, this is only true if you plan to bring your own pillows, blankets & sheets for the pullout couches as not only are none provided but they tell you they will bring some & finally bring them ON THE LAST DAY ... make that make sense. Overall, the house was clean but very damaged-except for the showers which looked like they had not been cleaned at all. Soap wrapper was actually left in one of them. As far as sleep, I hope you don't want to sleep past the sunrise on your vacation as there are NO BLINDS or CURTAINS in almost every room from the back side- bright & early the sun is in your face; no curtains at all on the front side of the house which doesn't help much with the temperature in the summer. Let's talk about washcloths/towels. AT A MINIMUM, we should have been left 24 (since that is what the house sleeps) AT A MINIMUM. We were left 12. Not even enough for everyone that it supposedly sleeps. We called &asked for more, as with everything else, it showed up ON THE LAST DAY. Private Home Theater: Enjoy movie nights in your own theater room, equipped with a large screen and comfortable seating for a cinematic experience. My Review: Comfortable Seating is pushing it but we can live with that, what you can't live with is not even being able to watch anything on the TV "theater" due to the fact that in our 4 nights there, we had internet access for POSSIBLY 6 hours total. We called, texted, & emailed regarding internet service, was told multiple times that a service call was entered-they would get someone out to the cabin. No one EVER came to attempt to fix this issue. Entertainment Options: The game room is equipped with a pool table, air hockey, and arcade games, ensuring entertainment for guests of all ages. My Review: Air Hockey table was unable to be used because the pusher was broken, I called, texted, & emailed about this within the first few hours of arrival,was told they would have a pusher out the next morning;the pusher was finally brought out on our last day. There are NO arcade games. Relaxation Amenities: Unwind in the private hot tub on the deck or relax in the cozy living area after a day of adventure My Review: the hot tub and living area are nice as suggested, however if you look at the photos and think, wow this porch with this swing & rocking chairs look so relaxing and I cannot wait for that .... well wait, there is no longer a swing and the 2 rocking chairs that are out there (so not as many as are shown online) are smaller than shown on the photos & very rickety. Modern Conveniences: The cabin includes a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, complimentary Wi-Fi, and multiple flat-screen TVs with cable/satellite channels. My Review: kitchen is fine, washer and dryer are fine, wifi is non-existent as mentioned above which makes it hard to classify this rental as a "theatre", there is NO CABLE or SATELLITE on ANY TV in the entire cabin. The only TV's that you could even watch while we were there were the two smart TV's that you could connect to your own personal Netflix or other account and that was only for the few hours that we had Wifi to do so. The TV's in the room were POINTLESS. Outdoor Features: Take advantage of the charcoal BBQ grill and deck seating for outdoor dining and relaxation. My Review: you will not see a photo of this grill online, but let me help you with that, it is the $19.99 rickety grill from Walmart that you can put like 4 burgers on at a time. PLEASE SEE PHOTO FOR THE LAST OF MY REVIEW AS HAVING NO WORKING AIR FOR OVER 24 HOURS WAS A FINAL ISSUE.
