We really enjoyed our stay in this old schoolhouse! It is filled with interesting information about its history and various occupants. There are several binders filled with pictures and stories from previous guests, which I spent a long time reading.The place does suffer from some age-related issues. The floor is uneven in places, and one of the breakers in the circuit box seems to trip randomly. ##### Patrick C.

Loved how the house had the backstory and the history of the property in the house.We will be returners. ##### Rebecca E. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### eric k. 6 Jul 2022 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Old school The first thing we noticed when we pulled up is that there is absolutely no privacy . You share a driveway with the house immediately next door . There is a house directly behind the house the house immediately behind the house into the left and a house immediately below the house to the right . When you park your car you're actually closer to the neighbor's house then you are to the place you're renting. Like I said no privacy . Lovely hot tub on the deck , if you don't mind the neighbors watching you in it . There were roaches. The porches look like they have never been cleaned. The grill look like it had never been cleaned. When we cooked in the kitchen it smelled like bug poison . We knew when we rented that it was an old school house but there is a difference between rustic and nasty. ##### eric k.

Very comfortable and they provide everything you need to cook with. The jacuzzi tub could use a privacy panel and it would have been better, for the hot tub to be under a shelter, as it rained everyday, but we really did enjoy our trip. ##### Susan S.

Wonderful to have two showers for our family to use. The floor does slant because of age of the home so be careful if you are someone with balance issues. ##### Holly D. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amy B. 9 Jul 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Not as Pictured First, the location and views are great. But pictures have to be from a decade ago. There needs to be updates and upgrades and the house needs to be leveled (like walking on a ship). Cleaning and upkeep of the property really needs to be improved as well We come to the Smokies often. This would have been the worst rental, except for the views. ##### Amy B.
