Beautiful house and location

The location and home overall were beautiful. Wonderful spot for drone footage and pictures. There were a couple other cabins around but the home felt very secluded. That being said the cleanliness of the house was a let down. House was ready early which was great, but only to find mice droppings in most rooms, cob webs at eye level and carpenter ants in a room or two. I'm from the area so this isn't uncommon in most houses but it definitely could have been cleaned a little better. Overall we had a great stay, even got to see two bears our last two days.

Spectacular views

We had a family Thanksgiving and it was an great experience. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary utensils and appliances. The property was decorated for Christmas, including a tree which was so appreciated. Word to the wise - heed the warnings about bears and open the check-in guide before you start into the mountains. I had to head back down the mountain to get cell service to open the text. Once in the cabin, we were able to connect to the internet to read the rest of the guide. The views and setting was absolutely spectacular. Slightly disappointed - the dead lady bugs had not been vacuumed before we arrived.

House is obviously neglected. The pictures online don’t at all represent the home in its current condition. There were numerous issues of concern such an ants and rodents in the master bath, rat/rodent poop in all closets, bats in the attic, and the exterior porches being full of wasp nests. Two of our guests, one being pregnant and the other highly allergic, got stung by wasps. The area by the jacuzzi, that we had to figure out how to fill up ourselves, was full of mildew. The grounds outside have been neglected for a while and the exterior is just overall dirty. Lastly is the sleeping arrangements, filling a bedroom with a sleeper sofa is shameful. The only thing positive about this stay was the check in process and the view. I would never recommend this rental to anyone I know!!

Great visit- wish it would have been cleaner

The property was beautiful, they were so easy to work with and communicated with us so well. They were so generous to allow us to stay an extra day when we were snowed in and stuck.

Bear country

Overall the house was great. It was very comfortable for all 12 of us, from 2years old to 65 years old . The views were incredible and the area was very nice. The house could use a little tlc. The hot tub was great. The game room was amazing. The kids even caught fish at the fish pond. We had several bear encounters . Make sure you lock your car doors , they know how to open the doors! Plenty of places to eat and shop near by . There is plenty to do in the area. We had a great time !

Pretty but messy

The house was beautiful minus the plywood window and screens laying around. Once you walked around the property you noticed that nobody has done zero landscaping. The inside was mostly clean. One room did have dead bugs in it. The dishwasher was unusable due to the fact it was completely full of mold. For the price we paid you’d think they’d just buy a new dishwasher. The way we came in was a one lane road ppl were squeezing two lanes out of. The other road out was towards Pigeon Forge and much easier to travel. Mountain landscape was pretty.

Good, could have been great.

Overall it was a good place to stay with a beautiful view. If everything was totally cleaned and in good repair it would have been great. The outside fire pit was full of cigarette butts. The garage windows were boarded over. One of the garage doors was broken. And the foosball table in the game room was not usable.

Absolutely Beautiful!

This cabin was beautiful! Location was fantastic. Easy road to drive up and so peaceful, quiet and very private. The view was to die for. And bears...oh yes. They passed through two of the evenings. Plenty of space for playing corn hole with seating for onlookers right above on the deck. The game room was quite a hit with our 2 boys too. Contactless check in was so easy, convenient and definitely the way to go. Plenty of room in the cabin and outside on the huge deck overlooking the beautiful mountains. Loved it and will hopefully make it back next year.

Beautiful home but needs cleaning and repairs

The house is beautiful, but not clean. There were mouse droppings, old fruit, cobwebs, dust and cockroaches. I was actually bitten by a mouse in my bed while I was sleeping. The shower did not drain and had multiple mouse droppings in it. Also while showering the temperature is very inconsistent! It would go from cold to scorching hot. Disappointing for the hefty price to stay here.

It’s a beautiful home and enjoyed our stay. But there was bugs inside.

There were a lot of dead lady bugs in one of the room upstairs and roaches in the kitchen.

Amazing Cabin for a large group!

My friends and I stayed at Stairway to Heaven for a weekend getaway! There were 11 of us. We felt we had plenty of room and never seemed to be on top of each other. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook each meal in, and on top of it all...the view was spectacular!! There were a lot of dead bugs in one of the upstairs rooms. I’m not sure if that room was missed with the vacuum or just results of staying in the woods. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back!!

Fantastic View!

We had a fantastic family vacation at Stairway to Heaven. Due to Covid-19 we spent a lot of time hanging around the house. The game room kept our teens and little ones entertained and the adults savored the view from the deck.

Family Vacation

Well we stay in tenessee once a year.. we love cabins. We chose stairway to heaven ! It is pretty and secluded to itself which is nice. However one bedroom had a master bathroom. The rest of the rooms don't have bathrooms if ur looking for that, in the bedrooms. And the hot water didnt work,At all. we had small children that had to take cold showers.. we called about it and they came but unfortunately we wasn't here. Still should have been looked at .. so we couldn't bath in relaxation. Our jucuzzo tub in the bathroom only master bathroom wouldn't work. The minute I turned on the water. It was spraying out the side panel of the jacuzzi. And was soaking the floor. We didnt have any chance to fill the tub up.. again no hot water. It would be hot then extremely cold. And that's how it went. We called and reported it and the manager wouldn't listen to us on anything. He insisted we needed fill water before turning on the jets. But the problem was there was no access to water. It was the pipes on the floor spraying the water everywhere . The light in the shower was hanging down. The two beds in the bedroom downstairs were very uncomfortable. The frame was busted. The bed was so worped u felt like sleeping on a mountain.. I don't like writing bad reviews. But the money I spent I should have had no complaints. And not being able to take a bath in the only master bathroom with a tub was irritating. We arrived and the trash was still left in the kitchen full. There were wasp dead everywhere all over the floors and windows. And the random trash in spots u noticed it wasn't even swept.. this is a pretty cabin but disappointed for the money we payed we didnt get assistance. Or made right for our stay. I only write reviewers so others know what to look forward to so they understand if it's a waste of there money or not. This is the second cabin i stayed in with no working hot water.. so this isn't the first time.
