Nice stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a great stay at the cabin. The place was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans/dishes/etc. Only a couple recommendations. There are not enough bath towels for a cabin this size. I went out and bought several for our stay so folks were not constantly washing towels. It would be nice for each bathroom to have 4 bath towels minimum. Also, I have stayed at other cabins located on this same property that did not require driving into Sevierville for check-in. I wrongly assumed that since I downloaded your app, that the checkin would be mobile. But, I drove to the community first and then learned it wasn't and had to take an extra hour round trip to go check in. This was my mistake, but I rent cabins frequently and this is the only one I can recall having to go check in at a distant location. While I very much enjoyed the stay and the cabin, I will choose other properties in the future to prevent having to do this due to the traffic and added travel time (after a 6 hr drive to get there). Sorry to complain, but I think this will be helpful to you all for other guests and to get repeat customers.

Good Overall

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was clean but perhaps in need of a deep cleaning if that makes any sense. It was quiet and relaxing despite the whole complex seemingly being booked on a holiday weekend. We never went into the indoor pool, seemed busy. Concerns: One hot tub was effectively unusable because the controls were damaged and you could not adjust the temperature and it was set extremely low. Only one pool stick was usable, and barely at that. The fireplace in the lower bedroom did not work at all. Yes there was a game console but there wasn't a single game to use with it. Would I recommend it or stay again? Maybe. Depends on what else was available. We did not contact the property management with our concerns because they weren't the sort of thing that were fixable over a weekend and we were gone most of the day. The property is for sale and the unit itself is extremely nice and the beds were comfortable, but maybe the next owner will give it a little more TLC. Having owned a rental in the past I realize how difficult that can be, but I expect everything to work in a property at this price range.

It worked for us

Good stay. Could have used some newer rugs and perks for guests, such as coffee pods, filters, sugar and creamer, salt and pepper. Couldn’t get upstairs jacuzzi to work, other wasn’t tried. Parking is a bit dicey due to slopes and not a pull in driveway. You should inform guests with dogs that flat, grassy areas are not available. Nice porch sitting and refreshing quiet.

Great Bear Crossing cabin

This cabin sits high up on the mountain. The cabin seemed to have more room than the pictures showed. The kitchen is nicely stocked with plates, flatware, and cooking pots/pans. Has upgraded stove/oven and fridge. Loved the metal shelves by fridge to store extra food. All beds were comfy and in good shape. The cabin has little lamps in main areas like living and kitchen that were helpful to keep on overnight as a night light. The house is very dark at night. Each bathroom and kitchen had a nice supply of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand lotion and several rolls of TP along with dish soap and one dishwasher pod and clothes washing pod. We (in mid 50's) did not find it to be a negative, but the ground in front of the house is not level. We were either fighting a heavy swinging car door or stepping up into the seat of our vehicles. It is not possible to park three cars at this location. Luckily, the short period of day time we had three vehicles there we did a L shape park job with them. Any car(s) will need parked parallel to the house. The area isn't wide enough to park at an angle without being on the road. Again, not a negative to us, just noting it. The house has an awesome view from the back porch with plenty of chairs to enjoy it! The only thing that frustrated us a little was the tv. Couldn't figure out how to get regular tv. If youtubeTV wouldn't have blocked, we could have used our own login for that. I guess vaca isn't for TV! We had an awesome time

Great place to be during nearby baseball tournament

Aunt Bugs was a wonderful place to stay during our week-long baseball tournament. The unit was clean, and large enough for 3 dads and 3 players to sleep and live comfortably. The game room in the basement is a great plus for the kids.

Trip

The cabin was nice. The pictures looked much better online but nonetheless it was a nice cabin. Kitchen utensils were cheap and several missing pieces. Limited garbage bags or any type of cleaning supplies. In addition the photos felt misleading regarding the proximity of the pool and putt putt (also which you need your own clubs and balls) which we were short of at the cabin. It also is nice to have a brochure for local attractions All in all it was a great trip these are just some improvement areas for the price. Thanks!!

Great cabin

This was such a great cabin! I was hoping to replicate a stay I had up in pigeon forge 30 years ago as a kid and the feelings hit me all over and more. My kids really enjoyed the game room. I enjoyed the view and the hot tub. I loved drawing on the porch while watching the sunset over the mountains. It was purely picturesque! I can’t wait to go out there again!

Family weekend getaway

I was very impressed with the cabin when I arrived but then later realized our hot tub didn’t work. I paid over $500 a night and the main reason we rented the cabin was because of the hot tub and nice view. The maintenance guy and later electricians came out. Was there the entire day so we couldn’t even really relax cause all the people coming and going. The electricians stayed the entire afternoon trying to fix the hot tub. I emailed Aunt Bugs and tried calling but no response after. They did not want to obviously refund me any of my money back. Very let down with our stay and wish it could have been better since my whole family was finally together.

Spring Break Getaway

Our family stayed here and had a great time! Everything was as described on the listing. There was plenty of fun to be had inside the cabin during the days that were rainy. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.

A no

Nice cabin if it had been maintained. Carpet heavily stained, refrigerator froze all our vegetables, light bulbs out in every room, Christmas tree lights half lit, only one of the 4 electric fireplaces worked, thermostat downstairs with a bedroom and game room broken, toilets gross under rims, tv remote in main room not working properly stuck on one low volume, upstairs mattress dips toward middle, downstairs bathroom lever broken, vacuum sitting in guest bathroom, wine glasses but no wine opener, what more can be said.

2020 Graduation Celebration Trip

This trip was for my son and his friends combined with extended family. The property was great and had a very homey feel to it. The kitchen seemed to be extremely well stocked. The only item we needed and could not locate was a cork screw. We had a large Minibus so parking was a bit tricky but we were able to fit the Bus and a small car within the parking area. Everything was just as advertised. I was very sad to leave and would gladly stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the property was what the description said it was. The view was nice, the cabin was well stocked, clean, we did have issues with the tv in the game room and the internet. I reached out to the phone # listed and had to leave a message. Unfortunately they didn't get back to me until the day I checked out. With that being said we had plenty to do in the gameroom that the tv was not missed so much. I will definitely consider using the Aunt Bugs rentals for future travel.
