Outrageous cabins is an online cabin rental company that operates and rents out of the popular and…read morebeautiful Sevierville Tennessee mountains. My family and I were in town from Lousiville for my daughters cheer competition and was looking to stay an extra day and enjoy the nearby Sevierville/Gatlinburg/pigeon forge areas. I found this company by using Yelp actually. They had a very reasonably priced cabin called the honey bear hollow that sleeps 8-12 people. Me having a family of 7 made it a perfect fit. So you book through the site. Place a credit card on file and pay half up and they will take the second half a week or so before your arrival date. The day of check in You will receive a text notification with an address and pass code for the cabin and the trash cans outside. The day before check out they will text you checking out info and cleanup rules. Our honey bear hollow cabin was beautiful and very nice. You have a covered porch with two rocking chairs and you walk into a nice spacious living room and a kitchen. Off that main floor to the immediate right of the kitchen is a king sized master bedroom and full bathroom with a dual shower head walk in shower. Off the backside of the kitchen is a locked door with a covered patio area with your own personal hot tub. As soon as you walk in where the living room area is a spiral staircase. You get to the top and immediately in front of you is another bathroom with a walk in shower. To the left is a loft area with a pool table and another king sized bed. To the right is another room that features a queen sized bed, a fun retro arcade machine with several classic arcade games and another full sized bed. On our trip here in March of 2022 we got to experience both warm weather cabin life and snowfall cabin life. On our first day here we had beautiful sunny weather up in the high 70's. The next morning we woke up to about 4 inches of snow. I'll give the grounds crew credit. The roads were salted the day before when it was sunny and when we woke up the next morning to a mountain winter wonderland the roads and Drive ways were completely cleared. The surrounding area of the cabin site has a few neighbors. Some closer than others but you still have a ton of privacy. The grounds in the very back has a cute small log cabin chapel and playground. Throughout the site is cool little decor of equipment and even a fake "general" or "thrift" store to give it that southern Sevierville feel to the place. The kids and us loved our cabin. Very spacious and comfortable beds. Nice place to play pr relax and has TVs in each room and in a beautiful area. They really enjoyed the personal hot tub as well. Outside we did have our own grill so if you want to cook out that is an option as well. If I had to critique anything it would be that the pool table in the loft is in a small and tight area. The pool sticks are too long to get off any shot you want without bumping a wall. The TVs all had directv so you had cable but it would be nice if they had a smart tv for streaming services. Overall this was a fantastic and well priced experience and visit. In most of our out of town cheer comps we have to stay in specific hotels near the competition sights. On this trip we was able to book what we wanted to and this massive and fun cabin was actually cheaper per night for a family of 7 like Mine. So we were thrilled with everything!

We recently attempted to stay at the Cozy Bear from 8/28-9/1/25. Our experience was far below…read moreexpectations. I encountered several issues that made my stay uncomfortable, including: * Smell - Mold/Mildew/Smoke - very stale and irritating allergens - it was hard to even stay inside the smell was so offensive * Jacuzzi tub - black grit/dirt coming out of faucet with water; loud squealing noise in pipes? * Hot Tub - green slime in tub, odd chemical smell - not related to chlorine products * Tub/Shower - brown water coming out of faucet for extended period of time * TV remote would not work * Yellow stained sheets, smelling of smoke All of these were discovered upon check-in. It appeared that the cabin may not have been used for some time and wasn't updated for guest arrival. We attempted to eliminate the odor with sprays/disinfectants that we had to go and purchase. We then attempted to use the hot tub, jets would not stay on and there appeared to be some sort of slime in the tub. Upon exiting the hot tub, we tried the jacuzzi tub to rinse the slime off; that water was just as bad, then attempted to shower only to find it much worse. We gave the cabin a chance even though we weren't happy upon arrival. Things just progressively got worse. This was such a disappointment for our Anniversary stay. We travel often and have rented cabins in a variety of areas across the country. Older/aged cabins are common to us; this was well below expectations and description. We unfortunately did not trust that we would be able to seek resolution at 10pm and chose to check into a cabin owned by a different company. We did not get settled until well after midnight somewhere else and lost so much time.

Cherise, our agent, undervalued our property according to other real estate agents. She was negligent in her responsibilities throughout the process. She did not follow up on whether the escrow money was in place within the time limit. We had to ask the title company. At that point the contract had been breached and the property should have reverted back to us, but Cherise only cared about her commission rather than her customer notifying the buyer who then wired the funds. As time went on, we felt she was not adequately representing us, but rather the buyer. We requested to speak with the broker Mr. Reece. Our request was ignored. I literally had to remind her of what she needed to do with respect to amendments to the agreement. We had issues with the buyer who for a second time breached he contract and asked Cherise what our options were. This request was also ignored as was a request for the written requests for extension from the buyer. Cherise did not follow the agreement, in fact seemed clueless to what it said. She accepted an unacceptable method of notification for a written extension and was clueless about the closing date requirements, as well as, when she needed to initiate and amendment to the Agreement. Mr. Reece was on copy to all the email communication. We requested a reduction in fee from Mr. Reece, the broker, based on inadequate representation and the fact we had to lead Cherise by the hand. That request was ignored. The title company stepped in at the end and took over assisting us. I have been through several real estate closings and I have never seen such incompetence in my life. This isn't sour grapes. I spent 26 years writing, negotiating, modifying and administering contractual agreements.

It had three stories and four rooms. In the den there was a game room that had a foosball table, a pool table, and an arcade machine. It was definitely my favorite room.

Nothing beats sitting around a fire with friends and family. All in all, this resort exceeded all expectations.

Before we ever arrived, we had multiple payment-related issues that required weeks of back and forth to resolve. The full balance was pulled incorrectly, I received messages saying our payment had been declined despite providing screenshots showing the charge and confirmation, and it took repeated communication before the payment was finally located and confirmed. Unfortunately, once we arrived, the cabin was not properly cleaned between guests. There was a strong smoke odor throughout the cabin, broken glass left behind, personal belongings from previous guests, clothing under furniture, confetti/debris, and remnants from what appeared to be a prior party. We had children staying with us, so the broken glass was especially concerning. Because we arrived shortly before scheduled dinner reservations, we did not spend our first night waiting on housekeeping or maintenance. Instead, we handled it ourselves so our family could safely settle in. We stripped beds, sanitized surfaces, cleaned bathrooms, and purchased replacement bedding and towels locally because of the smoke odor and concerns about cleanliness. We still made the best of our time in Pigeon Forge, but the overall experience fell far below expectations, especially given the amount paid for the stay. After checkout, I contacted management privately with photos and details of the issues. I also sent a polite follow-up when I received no response. As of posting this review, I still have not received any acknowledgment or response. Mistakes happen, but the lack of communication after being given the opportunity to address the situation privately is incredibly disappointing. Based on the cleanliness concerns, safety issue with broken glass, payment problems, and lack of response from management, I would not book again.

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.

We thought we had found the cutest hidden gem for our summer getaway. When we first pulled up and…read moresaw the property, we immediately started talking about coming back in the fall. We rented the property with the primary and secondary treehouses. The primary treehouse was acceptable. The counters hadn't been properly wiped down, and the bedroom had a musty, locker-room smell. I cleaned the counters and used some air freshener, so it was manageable. Unfortunately, the secondary treehouse, where our kids were staying, was a completely different story. There was a horrible sewage smell coming from the bathroom. At first it was noticeable but tolerable because the cleaners had left the bedroom windows open. Once it got hot and we closed the windows, the odor became overwhelming. Every time someone flushed the toilet, turned on the sink, or took a shower, the smell became nauseating. It was so bad that all of us were forced to use the bathroom in the primary treehouse instead. We reported the issue, but after eight hours with no response, we reached out again and were simply told they were sorry for the inconvenience. After spending a long, hot day hiking, we returned to find that the sewage smell had spread throughout the entire treehouse. Since no one had addressed the problem or offered a solution, we packed up and drove home that evening rather than stay another night. The following day, we were told that maintenance couldn't find anything wrong. That response was frustrating because the odor was impossible to ignore. It leaves me concerned that the issue may not be fixed before future guests stay there. The smell was so severe that we were genuinely worried about the health and safety of anyone sleeping in that treehouse. The company refunded us only half of one night's stay, even though we reported the issue much earlier in the day and ultimately had to cut our trip short. It's disappointing because the property itself is beautiful and has so much potential. Unfortunately, our experience with the condition of the secondary treehouse and the company's response means I would think twice before booking here again.
