Snuggled Inn 2 Bedroom Cabin

We had enough room for our family of two adults, two teens, and two small dogs, and never felt cramped. There were three beds, a queen in the main bedroom, another queen and a twin in the loft, plus a pullout in the living room couch that we never opened. The place was clean, with no dog, mold, mildew, or dirt smells. The furnishings were a little dated but in good shape. Wi-Fi was decent after we sorted out a password issue. The appliances mostly worked, and the dishwasher was fine. Some flatware looked like it had been put away wet or dirty, so we ran it through again when we arrived. The dryer had a faulty door switch and took ages to dry clothes. I suspect the vent pipe was clogged. The big problem was the water. It smelled rusty and seemed high in iron, with no sign of filtration. When we first tried the hot tub, the water went murky and the surfaces got coated in what might have been red algae. We asked the management company to clean it, but the next day nothing had changed. We showed photos at the management office, and they said they’d replace the water. The following day it was yellow, and the sides and bottom were still dirty, so we gave up on using it. There was never a chlorine smell or any sign of chlorine treatment, and no way for us to brush the surfaces. The area was very quiet, though we didn’t see much wildlife. Getting in and out, and reaching attractions around GSMNP, was easy. As someone mentioned earlier, cleaning missed a couple of spiderwebs, one on the bathroom ceiling and another near the peak of the very, very high vaulted ceiling in the main room.

We had a beautiful cabin in the Smokey's for our anniversary, and I’d stay there again. The deck and hot tub area could use a better cleaning, though. There were A LOT of spiderwebs.

So quiet and peaceful here. It was an amazing place for a vacation, 10/10, and we’ll definitely stay again.
