"The only negative is there is no non slip coating or mat in the tub/shower. Very slippery."

Tree Top Cottage “Experience” The Smoky Mountains

8/10 Good

"It was a quiet, cute, well equipped tiny home and perfect other then the fact it was so incredibly hot that we had to go buy another fan (2 were not enough) and even then it did not cool us down (only 1 window that opened). It was perfect other than that. Our host did inform us that a mini split was installed but not hooked up yet, and for the price we paid to stay, and for it not to work was a bit too much."
