We stayed at one of the Units during the Jeep Invasion weekend of 2023…read more The condo we rented was absolutely filthy and in very poor condition! There's no way to sugar coat this. The first thing we noticed upon arrival was how hot the Unit was! There was a heat wave that weekend and when we arrived around 6pm it was 95 degrees outside. Inside the thermostat said it was 79 but there was zero air flow so it felt like we had walked into a hot sauna. We immediately turned the thermostat down to 68, made sure the cool air was set to "on" and turned the living room fan and bedroom fan on high. We then went to check out the rooms. We found blood stains on the top blanket in the master bedroom. There were also stains on all of the pillow cases in both of the rooms. The sheets in the second room had stains on them as well but we couldn't tell exactly from what (maybe that's a good thing). The bedding was very inexpensive and not what most people would expect from a vacation rental. The sheets and pillow cases were uncomfortably scratchy and rough. The main bedroom had a thin "quilt" style blanket but the second bedroom and pull out sofa had fuzzy fleecy type blankets, the kind that is a pain to wash because it absorbs a ton of water and takes forever to dry! That screamed sanitation problems to me because there is no way those blankets are getting washed after every visit. When we entered the kitchen we were met with crumbs on the breakfast bar counter, crumbs on the dining table and on the seats of the dining table chairs. The sofas cushions were stained as well and (also) were covered in crumbs. One sofa had cup holders built in that had sticky drink rings in the bottom and what looked like a few cheerios stuck to them. When I lifted the sofa cushions to pull the sofa bed out I found whole pieces of cereal (looked like cheerios and Froot Loops). I also found chunks of scrambled eggs! Chunks!!!! I pulled the sofa bed out and to my horror there was food on the pull out sofa bed as well! The bed was premade and I guess someone ate their breakfast on top of the bedding before putting the sofa bed back up. I assume they thought after they left the bedding would be stripped, washed and cleaned, but it was not. This place looked like a family with a small child/children had stayed there for a week and left an hour before we arrived with no cleaning done in between! Now I can't imagine that's what really happened, but I also can't believe housekeepers would leave a unit that dirty! I don't know what is better, the possibility that housekeeping ignored all of this or the possibility that there never was a housekeeper that came to the unit in-between rental changes! Whatever the case, it never should have happened! So moving on to the cosmetic issues, the whole Unit needed a thorough deep cleaning and fresh coats of paint! The walls were so banged up and scratched and there were yellow streaks all over the wall in the hallway bathroom. There was a layer of dust collected on all of the base boards and the fans needed a good wipe down. The outside balcony was terrible! It was covered in bird poop! Covered!!! Bird poop on the door! Bird poop on the door handle! Bird poop all over the furniture! Bird poop on the ceiling fan, the rails, the table, the cushions and pillows, the ground! It was like 50 birds had been roosting on that balcony and it hadn't been cleaned in years! There is no way that wasn't a health hazard! I understand that you can't control nature, I get it. However, the balconies either needed to be screened in and/or the balconies should have been checked prior to anyone checking in and cleaned regularly! Having the balconies screened in would actually help with the bug problem as well but I'm not sure this place is interested in putting any money back into this place! Everything was very dated and dirty. The final issue I have to address is that the A/C was completely broken! After we turned the thermostat down we kept an eye on it to see the progress. After 3 hours the temperature had not changed at all! At this point we left and bought 2 box fans from Walmart. The temperature finally dropped down to 72 degrees around 3am! I truly believe that was because the outside temperature had dropped into the low 60's that night. We would have left the doors to the balcony open in order to cool down the Unit if it wasn't for the bug issue! By 6am the temperature was steadily increasing back up and was 75 degrees! We left after only one night! Between the filth and the heat, we just did not want to suffer anymore! ***My mother was the one who booked this***

This was my 4th stay in the area. I have stayed in many different cabins with beautiful views, this…read moreis just another one. However, I will not be returning to this airbnb nor will I recommend it to anyone. 1. Check in is at 3 pm, upon check in the rooms were not clean, the bathrooms were dirty, the living and dining room were not clean. If there is a delay the expectation is to inform your guests so they are aware to hold off on coming by for a bit. 2. Lack of communication from the host to the above and among other things. 3. **** 15 mins after check in 2 people walked in without knocking, waiting to be let in or identifying themselves. The people in my group and I were very confused and felt very unsafe as we were not alerted by the host anyone was coming by. Upon calling the host, you are routed to the managing department, i spoke to two individuals a young women who was not apologetic or helpful and then the manager Adam. Adam was also very rude and unapologetic. He told me that these were the cleaning ladies and that check in time was not gaurenteed at 3 pm and that we can go to the office for food while we wait. This was not ok as i already bought a ton of food for our stay and informed him that i was aware it was no gaurenteed but i did expect some sort of communication of this. He then hung up the phone on me or at least tried to. I then had to sit on the phone listening to him and his colleagues laugh at the situation. 4. Th people who walked in to clean were not wearing masks or following COVID 19 safety measures. 5. Sink in the kitchen did not drain properly deeming it unusable. Moreover the dishwasher did work and would leak. There are many other beautiful cabins in this area, id stear away from this one.

And lastly, when arriving at the cabin I was simply awestruck! Gold hues of the inside of the cabin were warm and welcoming. Clean and cool on a hot late summer day. There was enough supplies for my daughter's and my entire stay, not to mention the laundry soap did come in handy for The end of our trip to take back clean things for our next trip. The morning view off the back porch was stunning. I loved having my morning coffee while listening to whippoorwills calling and see hummingbirds whiz by. My daughter just loved the the hot tub and spa tub I also enjoyed how close we were to the park. It was just a 5 minute drive. Can't wait to come back again to see this beautiful cabin in other seasons.

Fortunately it was still daylight and I could see to slowly back down. If it had been night time we would probably of gone off the road or worse. The whole ordeal has been extremely traumatic. We were so looking forward to this special 30 Anniversary trip. Instead we frantically had to find somewhere to stay. I reached out to Summit but the woman on call only expressed that she was in no way in any kind of authority to to refund or help us. We were left helpless and stranded with no support. She said she was sorry but I should have known and asked more questions before booking . Nothing in their listings or communications warned of the accessibility issues of driving to the cabin for some people. This ruined the start to mine and my wife's joyful 30 Wedding Anniversary. Fortunately we found lodging on our own but are being given the runaround by Summit concerning a full refund.

My boyfriend and I recently stayed in Awesome Views, a 1 bed, 1.5 bath cabin rental through About…read moreThe Smokies. The road to get to this cabin was very winding and hilly, and lucky for us there was no snow or ice on the roads but take caution if you do rent this cabin in the winter. While the listing says seven minutes to downtown Gatlinburg it actually takes about 13 minutes, which still isn't bad. Location wise we were very happy. There is a Food City grocery store nearby, and the Arts and Crafts district is just a short drive. When we pulled in, it was dark and I couldn't see the view yet, but later in the trip when the sun came out it certainly was an awesome view. You could even see it from the bed. The kitchen was stocked well enough to do some cooking. The hot tub was clean and hot, the bathroom had a couple towels. All was great with the basic amenities (except no coffee to be found!! I did leave some there, hopefully others enjoy it). I was quite disappointed that the furniture layout had changed from the pictures (which is the reason for 4/5 stars). I chose this cabin over others because it has two couches and a large living room. When we arrived, that was not the case. There was only one couch and a leather chair and an unnecessary dining table had been added. Be aware of that when you look at the pictures! We did have an issue with some critters in the duct work and a terrible smell as well, but I called and they came out to take a look and it was fixed by the time we returned. Overall, I'd highly recommend renting from About The Smokies! We look forward to returning.
