Enjoyed our cabin. Only complaint was downstairs mattresses were uncomfortable. Would have liked the setting to be a little more woodsy and secluded. The contacts and communications were super and we really appreciated the cleanliness and amenities of the cabin.

Great Trip

This was a great property with plenty of room for my entire family. The only real issue was there was only outdoor access to the down stairs bedrooms, no inside access.

Comfortable Quiet Relaxing

The Deer Lodge cabin made for a perfect weekend getaway with extended family. The booking and check-in process was very easy and convenient. The cabin was very clean and well appointed. There was plenty of room for all of us and the beds were comfortable. The location is convenient to Pigeon Forge and other local shops, dining, and attractions; yet far enough from all of the tourists that you can get away. I highly recommend.

Good location, average cabins

Check in process was very difficult, had to pick up the code from another spot and nobody was there to help out, nor did anyone answer the phone. Cabin was represented as a single cabin, but was actually 2 separate ones not connected to each other except from the outside. Cabin was very dimly lit, furnishings were old and worn. No shampoo was provided either. Would not recommend.

OK stay for price

Not as updated as pictures make it appear. Also, a hour away from Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg so not close enough to come up in a search for those towns in my opinion. Clean mostly but could be cleaner (hair/dust/dead bugs in corners) and sheets have stains.
