    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! I'll start with the room: comfortable pillows, quality linens, very clean, quality bath products, water in the fridge and chocolates on the pillow. The Inn: charming lobby and dining hall, bountiful breakfast, candlelit dessert (we recommend the chocolate brownie with ice cream), delicious coffee, large deck with cozy fire pit and ample seating. Ask about the snore kits and cozy blankets for sitting around the fire. The Staff: from check in, to maid service to the owner we were charmed by southern hospitality. If you are looking for a place that takes pride in their service and is detail oriented this place is for you. This is the kind of 5 star service not many places stilloffer. My husband and I can not wait to return and recharge. This we exactly the wonderful romantic weekend we were hoping for!

    This was my aunt and uncles 1st time visiting Douglas lake. They had bad experience at previous hotel the night before. I booked room at Mountain Harbor Inn for them and explained what had happened to them. The staff at the Inn more than made up for their bad experiences. The were so kind and courteous and went above and beyond to make them comfortable and happy. Needless to say it was such great experience my aunt cried happy tears...I will always send more business from now on to the Inn. I appreciate everything the staff and managers did for my family. They also praised that the breakfast and dessert service was amazing food too.

    The facility was lovely and so gorgeous when we got there. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We did request an boat and was told there was none available or the entire weekend. The next morning we got up and had an lovely breakfast and while walking out my husband asked about an boat rental again and they had one, am speed boat. We rented it for the time frame they had available. This "speed boat" was horrible. It was as not an speed boat, the propeller was beat up so badly in it, it's a wonder it was pushing us at all. We could barely even pull anyone on it tubing, it wasn't making good waves at all. It definitely was not worth the money spent on it. With al the money they make in renting rooms and boats, you think they would take better care of their boats. Our first room was "the presidential suit" we was supposed to have "gone with the wind" but something happened and messed our reservation up, luckily that was caught in time for us to book "the presidential suite" it was an nice clean room, the ac didn't work well at all though, it was so hot in there my husband had to go to Walmart and buy us an fan. It did have an ceiling fan above the bed, but it barely worked,..the rooms are so big, the tiny ac unit they have does not cool those rooms off at all. We had this room for 2 nights, we decided to stay a 3rd night so my husband could take the bass boat out, as he wanted to fish. We ended up getting "gone with the wind suite" which was the original room we should have had. This room was lovely at first glance. Although, it was missing the two twin sized beds in the bedroom. Instead there was an ironing board and stand up mirror. This second room with twin beds was the main reason we wanted this room. It was an HUGE disappointment! I will say the food was great, the accommodations were nice, and people friendly. Our rooms came with an amazing dessert every night, which we never got to try. Mainly due to my husband having the boat during those times. We finally found out we could get them in an to give box and take to our rooms then was told the dessert we chose we couldn't do that with due to them being too messy. Which makes no sense to me, people bring fast food and other stuff in that's messier then that, but oh well. The last night in the new room our towels had dead ants in them, the sheets had bed bug ink stains on them and the room was misrepresented big time with the two twin beds. This was a good experience and lie rly time away, but next time I will probably look elsewhere to stay as this was not worth what they charge every night.

    I stumbled upon this place when looking for places nearby Gatlinburg. I had never stayed at a B&B before so I wasn't really sure what to expect. We arrived at check in and were promptly showed around the property and to our room. We stayed in the Presidential suite and it was a great space and had a great view of Lake Douglas. The room had a kitchenette and a living room area so it was nice and roomy, especially for two people. The rooms were very clean and a cleaning service came through every day. The breakfast buffet exceeded my expectations. I'll be honest and say that expected a more simple breakfast, but they had a full spread of real scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, potatoes, fried apples, biscuits and gravy. It all tasted great and homemade! Each night they offered a sunset cruise at 5pm, which we enjoyed on our first night. Once everyone (around 4 couples) met for the cruise, the staff offered us soft drinks or a water to enjoy on the boat ride. I thought this was a nice touch and showed they always were going out of their way to make your stay more comfortable. On this particular night the owner of Mountain Harbor was our boat captain. You can tell he loves his job. He was happy to tell us the history of Lake Douglas and the city of Dandridge, along with a few jokes. In addition to an ample breakfast they offer dessert every night from 5-8pm and once again I expected small sample sized pastries or grocery store cookies. I could not have been more wrong. We had the option of the signature brownie al a mode, lemon cake, chocolate cake or cheesecake. The brownie could easily be split by 2 people if not more. It is simply HUGE. It was also delicious so its very tempting to keep eating until you are in a sugar coma. Mountain Harbor is at a marina so you can rent boats and jet skis through them and guests get a discount on rentals which is pretty cool. We rented jet skis one day and had a great time on the lake. We found out that the jet skis are tuned down to max out at 40 mph so just a heads up if you are used to going a lot faster. It was my first time riding a jet ski so I felt 40 mph was fast enough. In addition to jet skis they also rent pontoon boats, speed boats and tubes. The lake is awesome for swimming and has some really cool coves that are fun explore. The entire staff was always helpful and friendly. They were always asking how your day was going how you were enjoying yourself. It was real southern hospitality.

    Good place to relax

When we asked if there might be other rooms available in the waters we were told (rudely again) you might be able to find something. But it's a holiday so all the hotels will be like this.

After check in, we discovered that the water was not working, and they still allowed us to check in knowing this the case. After this was resolved around 2:30 in the morning, I found numerous hairs in the bathtub, and the towels had countless stains in a range of colors, with the floor towel being the worst of all. Our room was CLEARLY a smoking room, and every aspect of the room was dirty. This hotel was a colossal health hazard in every way. I am someone who rarely reviews any place of business, but if only one traveler reads this and stays away, it would be worth posting. I only wish I took photos to document this terrible experience for you. DO. NOT. STAY. HERE.

The bed and bedding were absolutely luxurious! Our own private deck with a full size, well functioning hot tub was why we rented this place to begin with. And it did not disappoint. Our hot tub cover was done, water logged and difficult for one person to take off, but thats fixable.... And did not deter our enjoyable time at all. We star gazed from the hot tub. The morning was just as good. I got up at Sunrise and sat in that tub water the wild life. The small villas have privacy screen walls for the decks. The two end units are more open without privacy screens on the corners. There is a one time cleaning fee so if you stay more than 1 night, the cost is VERY affordable. I very much wish we had just rented this place the WHOLE time we were in TN. I am sad to leave. This was a perfect jumping off ground to the Great Smokey Mountains and Knoxville. The owner was delightful, easy to work with and i am thrilled they bought this place 3 years ago. Anything i can do to support this hard working young family, i will do. Stay here. Its GREAT!

I can't say enough good things about Mandy and Billy Gerken and their cleaning / handyman company. Without a dedicated, professional, high quality team like these guys I don't think it would be possible to remotely manage my cabin as successfully as I have. In less than 90 days of operation I have achieved Airbnb's "Superhost" status, and earned 16 nearly all 5-star reviews from guests. Many of my guests have remarked how clean and organized my cabin is. "Extremely clean" "Very clean, cabin feel" "We appreciate how clean the cabin was" "The cabin was extremely clean and organized" And for the Yelp Mafia who hid my last review for being fake, I invite you to go to my Airbnb listing to see these glowing reviews airbnb . com /h/libertyhaven What my guests' don't know is how much work Mandy and Billy and their team did to get my new cabin rent ready. Not only did they drive all over Sevier County to different Home Depot's and Lowe's and Walmarts picking up and shopping for stuff the cabin needed, much of which they recommended (e.g. bigger cooking pots, some throw rugs, bathroom mats, etc) but they assembled and installed tons of stuff like the blinds and drapes, the rocking chairs, the CO2 detectors, the dedicated laptop workstation, carpenter bees traps, string lighting, illuminated address plaque, etc. Every time I ship something new to their house, they bring it to the cabin, set it up, and send me a (very reasonable) invoice. Are these guys more expensive than some other cleaners in the area? Yes. In fact they were 5 times more expensive than the lowest bid I got from a bid site (like Angie's List or something like that). But I simply pass their cleaning fee on to my guests AFTER I mark it up by $49. So not only are they a SOURCE of revenue for me, they actually SAVE me A LOT of money. If I didn't have this incredible team (and they are the most important members of my short term rental cabin team) on the ground, I would have to hire an expensive old skool property management company. Looking at the low star reviews of competing neighboring cabins, nearly all of them are managed by property management companies. Low ratings on Airbnb is slow death. People won't book a low rated, dirty cabin. And eventually Airbnb will delist you. If you're planning on managing your Airbnb VRBO cabin remotely (and why would you not?) HIRE THESE GUYS. They will save you money. They will EARN you money. And you'll sleep well knowing they are on top of everything because they are very experienced, consumate professionals, as good as it gets.
