The pool table was a big hit with the kids. The hot tub was great to relax after a long day. The kitchen was nice and had everything needed to fix a meal. I would definitely stay here again. There were a few things that needed attention to repair or replacement. Both sleeper sofas were worn out and wasn’t able to use as a bed. The silverware drawer was broke upon arrival and both hand rails on the deck were very loose and was in need of repair. Laundry soap was empty so we had to buy soap to wash towels. ##### Paula Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roy 3 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Close to Stampede and Dollywood. ##### Roy Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nick 27 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Window broke glass on floor. Drains didn’t drain. Arcade didn’t work. Pool cues were in horrible shape. Kitchen cabinets were broke. Refrigerator didn’t get cold. Maintenance left dirty tools and gloves on the kitchen sink when they left. ##### Nick Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Cheyenne 29 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Do not book this cabin if you value safety. When we arrived, the hot tub deck had a broken window with glass shards everywhere, and the back door wouldn’t latch, creating a huge hazard with our small children since that’s where the hottub and the glass from the broken window was. My husband even stepped on glass after it was “cleaned.” Several amenities we booked for — like the game machine and pool sticks — were broken. There was also multiple other things broken like a bathroom sink that wouldn’t drain and a kitchen drawer. We left early because the property was unsafe and not as advertised, but were only offered a small partial refund. Families deserve better. We only stayed 2/7 nights and I seen a review someone posted after we left still saying there’s glass everywhere. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e35b55af-7d4a-4a70-ab94-83450b16c023-1756472343914.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1f638a28-8deb-46fe-a8a0-3f20de7b84a1-1756472346135.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cheyenne Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott 23 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Scott Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenstone Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatlinburg-Hotels-Glenstone-Lodge.h25627.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Pismo Lighthouse Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Pismo-Lighthouse-Suites.h10966.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Napoleon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
