There were a couple of issues like a broken coffee pot. Management delivered a new one the same day. For that fact alone, I give this review 5 stars.

The Cabin is beautiful but the driveway is a little steep. There were a few things in the cabin that needed some maintenance but overall we were well pleased. We love our family time in the mountains.

The cabin was amazing. I even saw a bear one night below the balcony. The problem was the drive way. I had four wheel drive so I was fine but my friends did not. This created a bummer driving and pushing the car up the drive.

Our family was disappointed. No response from numerous emails. Dust everywhere, dirty floors, carpet in kitchen was a joke, it states fullystock kitchen that's not true. Driveway is ridiculous, extremely steep, van lost traction every time leaving. No view at all as stated. Hot tub had only 5 working jets, mold on shower heads, the shower on the top floor leaks in to the 2nd floor bathroom, dishwasher is trash, dirt and food on plates, cups and glasses in the cabinets. we called they said they had done a temporary fix on shower on top floor before and it must be going bad. We asked them to come fix it or do another temp. fix on it and she said her husband has covid and they couldn't do anything. I asked if someone else could be sent and she said no. Also she informed us that the owners would be coming up this week after we left. I hope they invest in this place and fix things properly. But looking at the reviews this crap has been going on for a while. Don't waste your money. These people don't care about this cabin and it shows. No supplies or broom or mop so I couldn't even clean myself. Not enough seating in living room to accommodate our 9 person family and it states it is for up to 15 people. Only 6 people could sit in living room at a time. 1 oven mit and 2 pot holder that was so old my daughter git burnt through the pot holder. We will never use Hemlock Hills Resort Rentals EVER AGAIN. We recommend you Don't either. Lady on the phone very rude and no help. It also states that if you need anything to call or email Shirley, Brady, Cody, and Jennifer don't bother they still have not answered our emails. So I wonder why one of these 4 couldn't come fix the shower. We thought yes they have some bad reviews but we thought maybe that they had fixed the issues or that maybe people just didn't write good reviews because they had a good time and didn't think about it. Well don't be fooled. Like us. JUST DON'T!

Nice place to hangout
The cabin was nice, it had plenty of room for 7 of us to be together and yet apart when needing space. The bear theme was nice and felt homey. Had questions a month early and got no response from owners. Had to make more than 5 attempts before received reply. When we arrived, the cabin was still dirty and the code to enter was wrong. Made a call to the maintenance number and they gave us the right code, and sent a crew that cleaned the cabin for two hours. The driveway is very steep and should have 4 wheel drive to get up and down. The neighbors had cars on both sides of the street with barely enough room to drive through which was worse at night with no lights. Low water pressure but enough to shower and bathe. It is a nice place to spend a number of days hanging out with your friends and family.

The cabin has a good amount of room but was not clean. There were cob webs and dust on the walls. We took a broom and spent about 1 1/2 hours cleaning. Carpets were stained in rooms which we assume is from past pets. The air filter was completely layered with a thick layer of dust but the manager came and put in a new one. Cooking pans were nasty and we did our best to clean them. The place could also use a new set of cooking utensils. Several things were broke including kitchen sink knob, dish washer rack, and upstairs fan switch. Overall, price wasn’t bad. However, you get what you pay for, as the old saying goes.

Overall the cabin was absolutely beautiful. However, the cleanliness was severely lacking. The sheets were not clean, as there were stains, hair and debri in the beds. There was paper straw wrapping, price tags, receipts on the floor in several rooms. The coffee maker had coffee still in it as well as the filter. Rugs and carpet were filthy and there was dust and cobwebs in several locations that were extremely visible. There were a few pillows with blood on them as well. As I said the cabin itself was beautiful, however I would follow up on who is cleaning the cabin as they are not doing their job. We spent our first night cleaning and washing bedding which was not our responsibility.

They need another maid service. Not very clean, wet towels left in washer and found dirty socks.
It has some maintenance over all that needs to be done
Curtains, blinds, carpet and a few other things
Furnished nice, and close to Downtown Gatlinburg and they loved the hot tub

The driveway is STEEP, and my recommendation is to stay at the top and walk down. If you can. Reversing up that is scary. The rooms were nice and spacey. The upstairs room was great. The tv was a little wonky. But my fiancé got it to work. The ceiling fan did not tho. The WiFi password was wrong but it’s correct on the box located by the fire place. Kinda dusty in a few spots, but all 12 of us had a good time. And enough space for us all! Nice quick stay, and affordable. We would come here again.

Cabin had plenty of room for 5 couples! Could have been cleaner. Close to downtown Gatlinburg!

Overall experience was great! The cabin had plenty of room for the family and extended family. Rooms were nice and spacious. Great views of the mountains. Make sure that if you go during the winter months, you have 4WD or RWD. The driveway is a little tough getting out of due to the pitch. But overall experience was fantastic!

Dishwasher was not working and we had to call for hot tub to be cleaned. Called maintenance regarding the TV and Wi-Fi twice when we arrived and she was very helpful but no one came out. Called again the next morning to report the hot tub needed to be cleaned and she asked did no one come out to property and I explained to her we have heard nothing. Communication and response time was very good because she had someone out there shortly after my call. I guess maybe before quest check in maybe check and make sure everything is working and ready to go. Overall I would stay again because we really like the location and the area just a few things needed attention.

It was an overall great experience. My family had the best time. The cabin was clean and plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. In a great location close to Gatlinburg attractions. We will rent again. The pool table was a little off. The driveway was a little tough getting out, especially if its wet. Not meant for a front wheel drive. Thank you for the great experience.

Overall the house severed our purpose. The carpets need cleaning. There were also a few minor repairs.

We had trouble getting into door lock a couple times. Property person said they needed to change the batteries the first day; but, they didn’t show up and then it happened another day. They finally changed the batteries. One thing that would have helped to know was the driveway to the cabin had a very steep decline. When we left it was raining and my car which isn’t 4 wheel drive almost didn’t make it up
