Horrible experience
I would not recommend Vacasa homes. I am sadden by the costumer service from Tyisha who is a supervisor. My birthday weekend was ruined!!! The power was out at the home for 24 hours, which in result made us lose a day/night of vacationing. We drove 9 hours and was not informed that the power was out until AFTER checkin. We slept in our coats and very few covers that were laying around! It was freezing. We spent money on candles, One person slept in a running car all night because of a medical condition. We paid $350 in groceries that majority had to be thrown out. There was a dead mouse under the coach, the jacuzzi never got hot, and we had no Wi-Fi the entire weekend making it extremely hard to stay connected to family. After speaking with numerous of people from Vicsa homes nobody could help make the night easier but informed us of everything they were NOT going to do. Never offering other accommodations for example moving us to another home, getting us a hotel room, etc. I spoke with Kelly on Saturday who tried to help which she informed me of getting a refund of $200 of the $2,000 plus back. Kelly then told me she was going to speak with “Headquarters” to try to get more. Kelly was not in the office and Tyisha whom had horrible customer service did nothing. She informed me the board came up with that amount and they wasn’t going to offer anymore. When I asked who is the board or who is her supervisor, she said she was not giving me that information.

We are pleased that you thought that the location of our home was beautiful, but we apologize for any misunderstanding about its proximity to downtown. This home is under 2 miles from Gatlinburg downtown. Our online description notes that guests can take a short drive or a moderate walk into Gatlinburg’s exciting downtown and want you to know you could have reached out prior to booking if you have any questions. Our communications log does not indicate that you reached out to our local team or our guest experience team which is available 24/7 to assist. We hope to have the opportunity to better impress you in the future and provide an amazing vacation experience.

Worst rental and worst customer service!
By farthest the worst rental property. Checked in to a property which was dirty, couldn’t even use the hot tub which we paid hot tub fee for. Paid over $2,000+ for waste of money! The property was not cleaned at all, no utensils or pots, etc. we had to call and million hours later someone answered and was told someone will come by. No date, no time, etc! However someone came by later in the evening and dropped off the pots and pans but no cleaning at all. We were charged the cleaning fee and the house was not even clean.. requested fees to be returned but no response! The worst rental property where you can’t even speak to the owners, vrbo customer service, etc! The worst! I do not recommend vrbo and this rental property at all

Too small
Beautiful property but definitely not enough living space for the 8 of us. It would definitely be a more comfortable fit for four people. The kitchen is extremely small and half of our party had to sit at the dining room table in order to watch TV in the living room. Very clean and well kept.

Not so Grand Fir
I have rented more than 10 different properties in Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge, this was probably the least enjoyable. The location was ok. Parking was adequate. The chalet was extremely small for a five bedroom. I have stayed in 2-3 bedrooms that were much larger. The rooms were very cramped and had no closets. It wasn’t a good value for the price. Walking distance to Gatlinburg is probably a stretch. It can be done, but it is not that close to downtown. Pictures are a little deceiving. Not all bad, just not what I was expecting for the price.

This is a beautiful cabin with a great layout that easily accommodates a large family. The cabin is cozy, but at the same time offers enough space that allows for privacy. We had a great experience!

Spacious, central location, lovely
Family and I rented this as a relaxing getaway. Listing was a perfect description and the decor was beautiful. Porches came in very handily for our rainy days, nap time, after-trail-walking breathers, as well as bear spotting! Property managers were easily accessible when contacted about a down tree on the property. Keeping this listing in our memory for future bookings!

Loved it!
This is a beautiful property. All of the rooms have a unique advantage to them. The place is secluded and quiet. The sitting areas downstairs and upstairs were beneficial for my family to split up amongst the older ones and the younger ones. We had a critter visit, but it’s evident that the priority is trying to get a handle on these things to the best of their ability. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Excellent house with comfortable bedrooms and space for all. The porches were magically!
We loved the quiet peace of this property after the bustle of Dollywood. Would highly recommend - and the ideal property for a family or friends reunion.

Good Location, but major issues
The house had electrical issues, and the circuit breakers kept popping, which made half of the house not usable. The internet was slow and didn't have range at the farther corners of the house. The house was not stocked with basic items like trash bags, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, kitchen towels, washing machine pods, etc. The ad had said the house comes with a gas grill, but it only comes with a small charcoal grill which isn't even on the property (it's outside on the street).

Weekend fun with family
The pictures of this home are "spot on". This is very cozy but large enough for everyone. You will love your stay here and may even see the neighborhood bear. We were close enough to everything, but felt like we were in the mountains. P.S. My son even said he wanted to build a house just like it when he's older.
