    ♦ FromBusiness Review --♦ CINDY ANDREWS SAYS:
    Very nice experience with Outback Rentals. We planned an impromptu Gatlinburg getaway, and were lucky to find this house -. Booking was easy over the phone, prices were some of the most reasonable I have seen , esp regarding cleaning fee , etc. Check in was a breeze, home was very nice, very clean, and my teenage girl group enjoyed the space very much. The internet was Fantastic, large smart TV, beds very comfortable, just a lovely retreat for the weekend. Cabin offers a free Coffee Bar .

    From Kim on 6-20-25
    Loved our time at the Swagman Inn! It was the perfect setting for us and our dog. We felt very safe and secure in the gated neighborhood and it was a great place to be able to take our dog for walks. We saw lots of bunnies and even the local bear made an appearance. We missed him but some others staying in the area took pics. The cabin was very nicely appointed, comfy, and had all we needed. Sabrina was very quick to respond to any questions we had which is always reassuring when staying at an Overall a joy and would highly recommend. Cabin offers Free Coffee Bar also .

Repeat Get Away

Went to this cabin again for the 3rd year. We love that it’s off the spur between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It’s at the top of a mountain in a gated community. It’s absolutely wonderful to get out and walk and it does have bears around. Very comfortable and spacious.

Nice location

It was a great stay aside from 2 things: there were about a hundred dead ladybugs in the house on the floor when we got in - obviously it hadn’t been cleaned in some time. The second, more minor issue, was that the hot tub was very dirty, however it was cleaned within a day by friendly staff. Overall a great place to stay, but the cleanliness could use some work.

A few suggestions

Swagman was so close to being perfect! Wanted to share a few suggestions to make it five star! First off, Sabrina was wonderful with communication. Five stars for her. Location is directly between gaitlinburg and pigeon forge. 5 stars for location. House was beautiful. 5 stars for the house. My family stayed for a week, so suggestions I would add to the home to make the full rating five stars- dressers and hangers- there were no dressers or hangers in the closet in the upstairs bedrooms so we had to live out of suitcases on the floor for the week. Hooks in the bathrooms so you could hang your wet towels. Full size mirror- some people would appreciate this. Board games/ card games- for those rainy days when stuck inside or cold winters. Again the stay was wonderful! These are only suggestions to make it a little more comfortable for guest who are staying longer than the weekend. We did see bears almost everyday right outside our cabin! They did not bother us at all. We would stay again, just be a little more prepared next time!

Annual Thanksgiving Weekend Trip

Each year our family travels to Gatlinburg for the Thanksgiving weekend. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Swagman property and would rent it again. The home is relatively new construction, thoughtfully laid out, with plenty of room for our family of six. Nice furniture in the livingroom, although could have used another chair. Beds were fine however the pull-out sofa upstairs was not - probably could benefit from leaving a mattress pad on site for guests to use. One thing I always wish more owners would do is stock rentals with more than enough towels. We washed towels twice during our stay. Nice washer/dryer though so made washing laundry not so bad. The neighborhood is gated which is nice. The driveway was pleasantly not so steep that you couldn't walk down (as with some of the properties that we have stayed at in the past) which is important to me, personally, so I could get in a walk each day since there was no community gym on site. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed to cook a quick meal. A lot of reviews mentioned having to live out of suitcases because of no dressers. This wasn't a big issue for us however it would have been helpful to have a closet to throw the suitcases in rather than the bedroom floors (especially with teens/young adults) but I appreciate the need for owners to have some dedicated space that guests cannot access. Noticed a couple of things at check in that the cleaning crew left not quite completed.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location

Great location- lots of wildlife

Good: The house is in a quiet, peaceful location with great views. The house itself is beautiful, big and spacious with great fixtures, a great wrap around porch to enjoy nature. Saw bears 4 out of the 5 days we were there. The location was the best part- took us 11 minutes to get to Dollywood and 8 minutes to get to Gatlinburg. We utilized the free Trolley service as well and that was great. Not so good: I picked this home because it had such high ratings on cleanliness- for me it did not meet the standard that it was rated on VRBO. There was lots of dust on fixtures throughout the home, the place mats provided in the kitchen were dirty/sticky, the coffee maker was dirty/slimy, floors need good cleaning, kitchen sink fixture has major build up of calcium, showers/bath need to be scrubbed, bedframes have accumulated dust/hair/fuzz, etc, curtains dusty and very hard to open- hard to enjoy the view if the curtains are difficult to pull back. My biggest issue is the camera placed over the hot tub- this specific camera was not disclosed in the listing details and it is in an area where renters have a reasonable expectation of privacy. I did not consent to being recorded or for my underage children to be recorded while in a hot tub. We covered the camera while the hot tub was in use. This is something any person considering renting this location should know. Overall, we had a great time. I recommend a deep clean of the home and removal of the camera over the hot tub.
