I did not look at the reviews until a week before the stay and it made me nervous. A couple of reviews made it sound so bad that I was worried about our stay. I want to say a couple months between their stay and mine made a difference but I truly believe those reviews were unfair. It's a really nice cabin that is cozy and perfect for our stay. I have stayed in cabins in the Smokies for over 25 years and this was just as nice as all the others I have been to. There are a couple easy things they could do to take it up a notch but for the most part, it's a great place to stay. I say book with confidence.

Property was clean and nice

It does have nice views of the valley and mountains. The cabin is nicely laid out and has adequate kitchen supplies. However, the carpet is badly stained and has a strong smell to it. There has been a leak near the chimney which has created a musty smell. Several of the lamps were missing lightbulbs or had non-working lightbulbs.I would be willing to rent a different Dogwood Cabin if I could see it first.
