Absolutely loved this property! The only thing we were a little surprised about was how steep the drive way was going up to the cabin, but everything else was perfect.
Here's how we (my boyfriend and I) both felt about the place -
Pros:
* Not in a huge cabin resort (we did not want to be surrounded by tons of other people).
* A nice distance away from Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. We had no trouble at all finding our way, and were looking for something that wasn't immediately in town.
* It is SO quiet! Got some REALLY good nights of sleep out there. But if you like noise when you sleep, might want to bring something to sort that out.
* Hot tub, fire pit, and grill was a great addition!
* Plenty of space in the place for both of us and our dog
* VERY comfortable bed!
* I didn't personally use the shower, but my boyfriend did. He said that it was great.
* We loved the fact that the cabin had a waterless tank
* The loft, although low ceiling, was actually pretty neat. There's a spot up there that you can go to and still see into the living room. Would be kind of cool for children, I'd think.
* Has the TV set up to where it will automatically log you out of yours accounts after your trip is over.
* Absolutely LOVE the key pad on the front door. No worrying about losing keys or keeping up with a key that isn't yours! Great feature.
Cons:
* I found it a little hard to find a spot that my dog would go to the bathroom, but not anything that was seriously make or break for the stay.
* When we flushed the toilet, there seemed to be a smell that lingered for about 5 minutes (only in the bathroom), but the host provides spray and we used that to sort out the smell. We just kept the door closed to the bathroom and it didn't impact anything.

Additional notes:
* We never did figure out how to use the air conditioning unit in the cabin, so it was a little toasty for us (we usually keep our place at 67F). We were only there for a couple of nights, so it wasn't really a big deal for us.
* AGAIN: The driveway is steeper than we originally anticipated. Just keep that in mind. =]
