Great Family Getaway

The cabin was great and in a great area. Not far from Downtown Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. Had a great view of the mountains. There were some minor issues but they addressed them right away. Just have the cleaners check under furniture when cleaning. Other than that it was great.

Bugs in Gatlinburg

The property was laid out great for our family. I was very disappointed when we got there and I spent over an hour sweeping floors. Some of the showers didn’t look like they had been cleaned. We saw a cockroach on 2 different days, however they did come spray for us. Cleanliness was not the best!!

Family Gathering

We had a great time and want to make this trip an annual gathering. The cabin size was perfect, and after a few immediate fixes, it provided many hours of fun and entertainment for the family. Immediate fixes, the cabin appeared to have been empty for some time, as there was a pretty thick layer of dust on the furniture and appliances. Also, several of the bedrooms hadn't been cleaned. We found several sheets that needed to be washed and clothing (underwear) left by the previous renter. After cleaning and laundering the sheets in all bedrooms and cleaning bathrooms, mold was growing in several of the showers. We were able to settle in and rest (not ideal). Also, the ceiling fans in the primary living space had only one working light bulb and worked randomly. I know you may be asking why stay....we had family travel from several states and were in no mood at that time to start the process of trying to relocate; it was easier to make a trip to Dollar General and purchase the things needed to clean and be comfortable. We truly left the cabin cleaner than we received it.

Unfortunately, bad.

I'm going to have to join others here and give this place a bad review. 1: I agree, easily the dirtiest cabin I've stayed in. My bed smelled of someone else and the wash rag I tried to use was dirty and used and had just been refolded. 2: The TVs don't work, foosball table didn't work and didn't have a ball, things were broken around the house, the pool table only had one stick, etc. So you pay for the fun things they advertise then you can't use them because they're broken. 3. They called me and demanded I give them my credit card directly even though I paid for extra insurance via VRBO. When I tried to explain that I'm not supposed to pay people directly, they told me they wouldn't let me have access to the cabin. This was the day before my trip, so I was forced to give it to them. Positives: This should honestly be an amazing cabin if it wasn't so badly managed. The house itself is awesome and the view from the front porch is spectacular. It's so nice to sit outside and see the Smokey Mountains from the rocking chairs they have on the porch. If they lower the price to really cheap to make up for the fact everything is broken and not clean, then renting this place could make sense.

Well loved property

This property is very spacious with four floors and very accommodating to a large group needing a lot of bedrooms. The beds were all large but very hard so if you do not like a very firm bed this is not for you or bring a piece of foam. The property is WELL loved and ready for some updates. The decks are all very high and did not feel real secure. We requested maintenance while there as some of the railings were pretty loose. The maintenance team was very prompt in showing up and did do some adjustments for things reported. If you are picky about cleaning or want a tip top place, again this property is probably not for you. The carpets are in need of replacing, two shower doors fell apart and the windows need cleaning very badly. We had to buy a pool stick and chalk as one stick was broken (which we left as our contribution). The bear visits were the highlight. Very friendly and came every day. Make sure you lock your car doors or they will make themselves at home in your vehicle! Voice of experience but they did not tear it up. Just left a lot of muddy spots. :) We did not utilize the hot tub as it was on the second deck and again not as secure as we were comfortable with. The maintenance man said he would be making some adjustments. It really should be on the bottom deck with good support for our comfort level. The property feels like it is corporate owned rather than by an individual who comes to stay. Overall we made it work and had a good time.

Smokey Mountains vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a very enjoyable stay and were pleased with the location and general condition of the cabin. There were some things that were advertised in your ads that we felt were somewhat misrepresented. The air hockey game was plugged in but the switch to turn it on and off was taken out of the unit. (Why it was left plugged in in that condition could have been dangerous.) Also, the foosball table was broken and mended with duct tape, but instead of perhaps breaking it more, we didn't use it. Also, both VCR's had no cables to hook up the TV. These things were disappointing to us. Also, we did report to you that the smoke alarm unit in the stairwell to the lower unit was out of order. I'm also sure you're aware that the cabin originally had outside grills, (2) and now only one exists. Although the cabin was very adequate for our party of 11, making food on the existing small grill for our group was a problem. It seemed to us that this unit needed to have the owner or some responsible party going though it more often. If so, items like the missing blinds on one of the windows, putting some glue on the outside porch rockers where the dials are coming out, dripping faucet in the main floor bathroom, fastening the dishwasher so it doesn't dump front when you're filling it, would be addressed. Also, the refrigerator is in much need of repair. Shelfing in the lower part of the door is missing, so nothing can be stored there, and in addition, we believe that the ice tray is not the correct one. The icemaker continues to produce ice over the top of the tray instead of shutting off when full. That causes the ice cubes to assemble in the freezer unit and when the frost free element kicks in, water runs down into the lower drawers and bottom of the main compartment. Things like this tend to detract from the rest of the beauty and enjoyment of the stay.

NO WIFI/Cable-DIRTY-Waste of 3k!Miserable experience

No working internet, WIFI or cable which I discovered 30 minutes after checking in on 4/2. I specifically rented this cabin so I could work because I run several online businesses. It was nightmare scrambling to Gatlinburg daily to try to find WIFI and fielding calls from my employees. Management told me they would send someone out, hours later I called and was told they had other work orders to address first. The internet issue still isn’t resolved. I called Spectrum and it was an issue with the cabin not the service as this property indicated through text. No communication from the property manager-spent 30 minutes on hold filing a complaint with Vrbo and they couldn’t even make contact with the property manager-dirty broken furniture/bedroom door lock broken, sauna had to be repaired, hot tub was disgusting, fans in bathroom areas and ceiling haven’t been cleaned in a LONG time-caked with dirt. Outside windows have a filthy film and spider webs/trash built up on the exterior windows. Some bathroom mildewed and rust on floor from toilets. Water damaged ceiling tiles need to be replaced. I would NEVER stay here again. They didn’t offer to put us in another cabin or a refund. Stay FAR AWAY. I have REAL photos of this property and screenshots of text communication that I would be happy to provide and have emailed to Vrbo.

Redneck Ritz fir Thanksgiving

18 of us (12 adults and 6 children) spent a long Thanksgiving weekend here. Nice space for both gathering and spreading out. People enjoyed all the arcade games, air hockey and pool. Could not find a ball for the foosball game. Location was convenient to Gatlinburg and National Park. Nice hot tub. Appreciated the large folding table and folding chairs. And two refrigerators made it really nice for so many people. Someone accidentally turned the refrigerator upstairs OFF. Totally our fault, but check that if you notice things warming up. Lots of plates and cups and pots and pans in kitchen. There were only 13 forks and 6 glasses which seemed odd for a cabin that advertises it sleeps 24. Wish there were large bowls for serving. We have rented lots of chalets in this area and none of them have been really clean. The bathrooms and kitchen here were adequately cleaned. Lots of grime on fan blades, lights, tops of cabinets and dirty carpeting. Kind of falls in the low middle of the cleanliness levels. We would stay here again.

Perfect Cabin for a Long Weekend

The entire process of renting this cabin was easy from beginning to end! The cabin was perfect for 6 couples for a long weekend birthday celebration. We enjoyed the many amenities of the home and how each level of the house had a place for our group to gather! The cabin was close to downtown Gatlinburg, too.

Easily the dirtiest cabin I’ve ever stayed in!!!

Redneck Ritz BEWARE!!! We rented this cabin 2 nights for my daughter’s wedding inviting several family members. It is a spacious cabin but by far the filthiest I’ve ever seen.Tile floors had not been mopped, turning sock and bottom of feet black. Carpet was badly dated and stained everywhere. All showers had mold on doors and around the base. The bathroom on the lower floor had a overhead water leak dripping through the ceiling tiles soaking the bathroom floor. Last but certainly not least, live roaches in the dish washer and silverware drawer. All that was done, a maintenance tech came by with a ceiling tile and said he didn’t know anything about a leak. I was extremely embarrassed when my family showed up. Trust this review because it’s the first bad review I’ve ever posted. Stay away!!!

Very Spacious, Beautiful View

Communication with the company was great! Checkout was easy. Each level had 2 bedrooms and at least 2 bathrooms. There’s also an attic area that has bunk beds and a king bed in an open space. We had 6 couples stay here comfortably. We had no reason to use the attic area. There was more than enough space! The arcade games, pool table, etc was so cool. Some of the bathrooms in the bedrooms could’ve been cleaner and the furniture and beds are pretty outdated. Overall, it was a good experience, we didn’t want to leave the cabin.

Very professional and answered all my questions.

We enjoyed our stay very much! Only inconvenience was due to the tornado nearby we lost power for about 12 hours, we had food go bad and an unhappy infant. I feel like the cabin should have a generator or something for situations like this. Other than that the cabin is beautiful and very accommodating for big families! Has all the entertainment for kids, teenagers and adults. Beautiful view I would definitely recommend and stay here again, everything was very close by as well.

List of things that need attention

This is a copy of the email I sent to Aunt Bugs after we left… Well, it appears I can’t see the email I sent them after all. I’m sure you can contact them to see the list of issues we encountered. We still overall had a great week, but there were many nuisance issues that we dealt with.

Our trip to the Redneck Ritz.

We enjoyed the cabin. The steps and the step railing where in bad shape. One step was loose and several of the upright pieces were so loose they actually fell out. This is a hue safety issue. We also had problems with the trash. There was already trash in the outside bin when we arrived and it was never picked up the week we were there. 19 people generate major trash in a week.
