Moonshine Cabin with a nice yard on the creek in the shadows of the Smokies

Beautiful house! Thank you!

There is good cell service but no wifi. Also no microwave, so plan ahead for that. The grill in the pictures is not the one on site. More like a park picnic grill without a lid. Otherwise clean and cozy. Communication with host was quick and helpful. We had a 4WD truck and I couldnt imagine bringing my coupe here. Roads are a little rough. But we had a good time. Recommend fox and hounds restaurant for dinner and drinks!

Had deer come in the yard while we were out

The listing was shown as "moonshine" shack...we drive around for like 10 minutes, called host and was advised it is the "shiners" shack. The key is all bent to unlock the door. Not sure why they wouldn't just replace it? We walked in, the coffee maker had an old used coffee pod, the shower had hair and other things all inside and on the shower step over. The towels, they smell like wet dog. After you dry yourself, the smell carries over to you. I bought kleenex hand towels as I couldnt stand the smell of the towels.The fridge was dirty, do not put anything in the back of the fridge, it will freeze. The steps to bed ARE NOT accommodating for short people. I am 5 foot and it wss a struggle, the first step and last step down are not even, very dangerous! The drive to the cabin, very sharp turn it was back and forth a couple of times to make final turn. It was a nice getaway. I am not sure we will stay at this location again.

I found a long blonde hair in my bed along with some small debris of some sort. There was some kind of white stuff on 1 of the pillows and stains on the bedspread. There was also some food debris on the couch, plain to see as soon as you sat down. So I believe the cleaning service never stripped and washed the linens and are very lax in their duties. Very suspect. I took pictures. The trash was not picked up and we had to clean up the trash twice because animals got into it during the night. We ended up putting it in the screen room for the rest of the week so we didn't spend anymore time out there. On initial arrival the lock box wouldn't work properly and it took about a half hour to get the key out. Over all I'd say the place is pretty decent except for the things I mentioned. I slept on the opposite side of the bed. Bathrooms and kitchen were clean.
