Review of stay

The faucets were all loose on every sink, the air conditioning unit was extremely loud as it turned on and off throughout the night. One of the kitchen chairs was broken (the back was not supported) and the main room (kitchen living room) was extremely dark (several light bulbs were burned out).The accommodations were OK, but not fantastic.

June 20 stay

The condo is nice but old and outdated. All of the beds squeak, there are no curtains on the windows and the light outside streamed in all night. There’s gaps in the floor boards. Some of the chairs are broken. There was trash left on the counter when we got there. It worked for our one night stay but would not stay want to stay for longer.

I will definitely stay here again in the future

Me and my husband and our 5 children were visiting from FL. After booking Ethan and Jennifer reached out to me and gave me all of the info I would need to self check in once I arrived. I had no issues checking in at all. The room was clean and updated. Everything was fully stocked. They checked on us a few times during our stay and even sent me a link to check out their other rentals. I would definitely stay here again. It’s not too far from all the wonderful things that Gaitlnburg has to offer. Thanks again Ethan and Jennifer

Good for a Quick Stay for Family of 5

Great location with free parking. Check-in was a breeze and directions were clear. The unit was roomy enough for our family of five (two teens and a mother-in-law), but it didn’t quite live up to the photos. It felt a little worn, and had a damp, musty smell that could use some airing out. The bed was comfortable but squeaked like an old rocking chair every time we moved. Outlets were hit-or-miss, and there was no shampoo or conditioner in any of the bathrooms - so bring your own! There were no extras - no coffee, no water, not even basic toiletries - so don’t expect hotel perks. For the price, we expected a bit more polish. Still, the space worked well for one night and was more comfortable than cramming into one hotel room. The host was friendly in all communications, which we really appreciated. With a few cosmetic updates and small touches, this could be a GREAT spot - lots of potential. Overall, it did the job for our quick stay!

Disappointing

While the location and size of the condo was just what we were looking for, the place itself was disappointing. For what was described as a recently updated condo, it was worn and looked cheaply done. The TV didn’t turn on, maybe remote needed batteries, the beds were creaky and uncomfortable, and the one bedroom near the front door was dirty. The bed in that room had dirty sheets with crumbs and jelly beans in the bed and on the floor around the bed. There was a candy wrapper on the bedside shelf and the shower valve and sink faucet were loose and plumbed backwards. The bedding in all the rooms should be replaced entirely, as they were worn and thin. Overall, we expected better quality for an updated condo. Luckily it was just an overnight stay for us, any longer and we would have found another place to stay.

Great little condo!

We staying for a night while passing through Gatlinburg. Condo was very nice, the only issue we had was actually finding the unit, it is in the multistory building in the back of the property. Everything was clean and well stocked.

Wonderful Gatlinburg Condo

This place has a great location, about a 5-8 minute walk to downtown! This property was very nice, and recently updated. Very comfy beds as well. The only downfall was the lack of hot water, after 1 person showering it was pretty cold. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay and would stay here again! :)

Clean, cute, and convenient

The condo was very clean and convenient to downtown. I loved that all the bedrooms had their own bathrooms. The only problem we came across was none of the tubs had a stopper for giving our toddler a bath. Otherwise it was perfect! We will be returning.

Convenient location quiet area

For the price point the condo was clean and located in a convenient area. And all appliances functioned properly. Amenities were a little sparse with no bathmats, towel rods, hairdryers. One of the shower rods was hung too high so water pooled on the floor. The beds were comfortable in the rooms were adequate size. The condo is at the end of the complex so it was in a very quiet location.

Very Dissapointing

The condo was very dirty. There was an Infestation of bugs in master bedroom, they Towel racks were falling off the wall, and the whole apartment could use a painting. The photos in the listing at the time of booking did not match what we found upon arrival. Would NOT recommend!!

The unit it’s self was very nice. Beds were comfortable. The disadvantage was that the basic necessities that was supposed to get us started was really basic like a partial roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and less than a half roll of paper towels in kitchen. The area to park was very small and it was very dingy and dirty looking going around the pool to go in to elevator. Water standing in area at elevator the whole time we were there.

Horrible Condo! AVOID

AVOID this condo at all costs!Let's start off this horrid experience with the location. The location advertised on VRBO is NOT where the condo is located. Took some serious searching to find the condo.Next, the exposed screws and shoody workmanship to convert this to a 3bed/3bath. My daughter cut her toe on an exposed screw in the transition to a bedroom. Beds, this is what made the condo unlivable. All three beds sound like plastic water bottles getting crushed. Any movement created horrible sounds. All three beds!Then came the final "we aren't staying here" when we pulled back the covers on a bed...a nest of bugs flew up from the covers.The host did not respond to a single attempt to contact them, even when we contacted VRBO to reach out. The only communication we got was an automated, thank you for staying and check out. Not a single communication from a person. If they had read a single message they would have known we left within an hour of arriving.This condo is horrible, the host (if there is even one) is horrible. The condo is unsafe, the beds unsleepable. AVOID AT ALL COST

Nasty

I would not recommend this condo to anyone. Unless changes were made to the cleaning. The bed I should be sleeping in has peanut shells and other dirt not at all been cleaned! Reason I figured out what was in the bed is I found an empty bag of peanuts and a full bag. The king bed sheets and pillows have make-up on them that is fresh. I have pictures. I will never be here again. I have stayed in another condo in this same place. All was very clean. We also have dead ladybugs and dirt in the window seals. I started meaaaging them as soon as we got her. 7:30PM. No response even though he said up until 8:30. We come to Gatlinburg regularly. This is by far the worst place I have ever seen. I have been doing this area since I got married in 1977.

We had a great time on our trip. The walk to strip was a little further then expected but still not bad and better than having to drive and pay to park. The beds all suited our needs and were comfortable but are very loud so if u are a light sleeper just bring ear plugs. We had my mother with us who uses a walker and we did have to move some things over a little for her to get into rooms and then move them back. The balcony is nice and faces the mountains. As soon as we arrived we saw a mama bear and 4 cubs. Then we seen them a few times from the balcony. I would recommend and would return.

Overall it was a lovely property, we had an incident at the beginning that put me off. As this was my first time on VRBO, being accused of smoking pot in the unit by the cleaning crew was very upsetting. I was immediately put on the defensive and threatened with a cleaning fee. I wish I got a phone call first to discuss this. Luckily my daughter was calm and talked things through.
