We recently stayed at the cabin, Deer's Lair, in the Cedar Falls area off of Wears Valley Rd. It's…read morehosted by Maples Ridge Cabin Rentals(maplesridge.com) Needless to say, we were sorely disappointed in this 5 day stay in a cabin we had rented one other time. In fact, we've stayed in Maples Ridge cabins numerous times over the years-in Gone Fishin'(3 times), Deer's Lair(2 times), A Little Bit of Heaven and another one I can't remember the name. I'm leaving this review on here because there's no way to review this cabin on their website. I even asked them where to leave a review and I got no response. The pictures of this cabin look good on their website but that belies all the things that are inoperable and left in disrepair. The toilet paper holder was broken, there was a large dried blood stain on the mattress pad (only reason we found this is because I bring my own sheets and change them before I use the bed for the first time), none of the lights on the back porch worked, both huge blinds in the bathrooms were inoperable. In fact, the large blind in one bathroom was all the way up(the one the camera was able to view), and when I went to lower it, it fell and bruised my fingers because of the weight of it. In looking at other reviews on other websites I see the same complaint for the back porch lights not working in a review of June 2023. In fact, I noticed several negative reviews lately and this might be the reason they're not interested in reviews of this cabin on their website. Other reviews of cabins on their website are allowed. The main reason for this review is for the placement of their security camera on the carbort. It was placed on the other side of the carport not on the SIDE of the cabin) and this allowed for viewing into the large window of the bathroom, the front door made almost entirely of glass, the kitchen window and don't expect any privacy if you're sitting at the fire pit. So, if the blinds are open, a view of most of the kitchen and living room and bathroom is possible. This may not bother some folks but it's a pet peeve of mind. In fact, if they had stated that this cabin had security cameras outside I would never have rented it but that information was not on the cabin description at maplesridge.com even though it is noted on VRBO, Airbnb and a lot of other places that rent this cabin. It's not exclusively a Maples Ridge cabin apparently. There were no cameras when we had stayed there previously. I just felt I was being observed the whole time we were there. Just so disappointed in Maples Ridge this time. Seems like they're just in it for the money now and I don't like greed. We won't be renting another cabin from them. You would think that return customers would at least deserve a modicum of respect. We have always left the cabins in better condition than what we've found them. I'm even OCD enough to organize the silverware drawer, etc. Really disappointed!

The furnishings were lovely. The game room area was fun. The hot tub was great. We had such a wonderful time. We really loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be back. The only downfall was no working phone or internet. We had to leave cabin and drive up hill to pool area to have a signal on our cell phones. That was a little bit scary if you had an emergency during the middle of the night. Making the reservations, paperwork, receiving instructions and entrance code was all a breeze.

Our cabin was double-booked by this company and we got screwed out of a trip we had booked 5 months…read morein advance My mother-in-law booked a cabin through this rental company in July, well in advance for our trip in December. Our trip is approaching this weekend but she noticed they hadn't charged the remaining balance to her card, so she called to confirm. The person she spoke to informed her that the dates were changed because they "have it on record that she had called and rescheduled" (which she never did). Basically, if my mother-in-law never noticed her card wasn't charged for the remaining balance and if she never called to confirm... we would have just shown up for our trip and not had a place to stay after a 3-hour drive. The company was rude and did nothing to resolve the issue, and simply told her that "what happened happened, and there was nothing they could do." The only other property they had available was a house in a neighborhood that wasn't pet-friendly (we would be bringing our 2 dogs). Not to mention we rented a cabin for the views and the cabin experience... We ended up getting our money back and by the grace of God were able to find another cabin available through a different rental company, which is hard to believe because this is one of the busiest times of year with hardly any cabin availability last-minute. Beyond frustrated with how they treated this situation, especially during the holiday season when we booked this back in July. I would definitely STEAR CLEAR.

I can't believe how disappointing this was. If it had not been for the fact we spent most of the day in the Smoky Mt Park, I don't know that I could've brought myself to even walk in the cabin. Trashy view with trashy neighbors. The cabin itself was fine. The mini blind fell off the only window without a trashy view but was covered with opaque full size glass cover; and the smell of Febreze was overwelming ! There were no screens in the windows to allow for fresh air. Think shut in grandparent smell.

If you ever are in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg Tennessee. This is the place to get away from it all…read more My family has lodged here for over 20 years, renting up to all 4 cabins for the week every 2 years. This is a place to get way from it all, to enjoy wildlife, trees, & plant life that are organic to the Smoky Mountains. These cabins are very comfortable & clean, with 5 star accommodations. In a setting that surrounds a valley that leads to a peaceful meadow, these cozy cabins are from repurposed logs from cabins that have a significant cultural/historical value. The Parkway is just down the road. Dollywood, Paula Deen's & Margaritaville are quickly accessible across the parkway, when you exit Wears Valley & hit the Parkway. If you take a right on the parkway, it is a short journey to both the Smoky Mountain visitors center at the National Park & Gatlinburg. On your way, keep to the left to continue to Gatlinburg, or veer to the right upon seeing the visitors center. Keep in mind during busy times, to drive smarter instead of harder on your route. The locals take the streets behind each side of the parkway that are obscured by attractions, hotels, restaurants, & strip malls to get to their destination without hinderance. Appoint a navigator in the front passenger seat to look for alternate routes on their phone should Alexa or Siri be drunk.

Comfortably fit our group of 6 and could have had more sleeping room if needed with the 2 additional pull out couches. Good location and driveway was easy to get into (not always the case with rentals around Gatlinburg and Pidgeon Forge) and were able to comfortably fit a large minivan in the driveway with space to turn around. The only two downsides to us were 1. Small area for trash disposal, and 2. Grass was not cut, but we did go down during an extremely hot week so we can understand it not getting cut. I cannot speak for other cabins from Bear Tootin, but this one was great! Also, free tickets offered with the rental were easy for us to book - all we had to do was call the booking agency (Xplorie) and give them our booking info and they emailed us a link to book through to get our free tickets. Let it be noted though - one free ticket per day and these CANNOT be stacked if you're staying multiple days. Overall good experience though, and helped us save a little money on attractions we really wanted to go to.

I would never consider booking with this company again--they are not dependable.
