Place was clean, check-in was smooth and as advertised. One listing mentions laundry which is not available, luckily laundromats are nearby. The location was great, minutes from Dollywood and walkable to a fun mountain coaster. Everything we could need was only minutes away. Outdoors was setup perfect for meals and had a fantastic hot tub and fire pit area. Our train loving toddlers are still talking about sleeping in a caboose!

Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Pamela K. 16 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Love The place is so quirky and fun. However there is an ant problem. Also no privacy as is right on the road. The other issue is that we were senior citizens and that was the most uncomfortable furniture I’ve ever seen we left a day early because of our arthritis. Thank you for having us ##### Pamela K.

It’s whimsical for sure. A little close to the road but don’t let that detour you! The only thing I will say is if I had read my email better we could have saved on attraction tickets as the amenities are great! ##### Amber I.

The location is right off the highway so privacy is a slight issue but loved otherwise ##### Amie M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shawn T. 19 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our stay on the train The train was very cute and clean. The design was very creative and the train sounds made it feel like you were on a train. The only improvements I would suggest is the ants were getting bad during our stay. They were on the bunk beds and my daughter had to sleep on the bottom with me, after we got the ants out of my bed. They were on the wall in the master bedroom and bathroom. The shower floor was really pretty but the rocks do hurt your feet when you take a shower. I would bring a shower mat when staying their. The location was on a busy road but I loved how close it was to town and all the attractions. The hot tub was nice but there is not much privacy because there are apartments right beside the train. The stay would have been a 9 out of 10 if they did not have ants biting us throughout the night. ##### Shawn T.

Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer H. 8 May 2025 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Cute in theory The train setup is very cute, however comfort is not high priority. Our first night there ants invaded the kitchen. I tried to call someone but the recording said messaging was just as effective. I was told someone would be coming to check it out, we never saw anyone. We bought bug spray and sprayed inside and out. The furniture in the living area is not comfortable for relaxing. The stone shower floor was so painful we had to purchase a thick shower mat. It is a good location for local attractions. ##### Jennifer H.

This place was extremely nice and clean. Close to everything. It’s just on a main road and you can hear traffic.
