GBGO ELSEWHERE We rented blissful wonderland in Gatlinburg. It was an awful experience. The cabin was run down, dirty and in desperate need of a cleaning. When we had a leaking pipe and called the emergency line no one came. Then we noticed as the week went on the sewage system began to smell any time water was used. Sewage smell over took the entire cabin and we were trapped with no help from the rental company. Would never rent from them again.

GBThe reviews on there website appear to be written by staff and would not let me leave an honest review. Colonial Properties were NOT accommodating, the cabin was unoccupied the week before and after our stay, they made us sit in the driveway for 45 min and call them back 3 times before they would put in the code to unlock the door. We stayed at the “Overlook” They failed to tell us we would be overlooking the tops of trees that blocked our views of the majestic mountains we traveled to see, the windows are also old and dirty, we tried to clean them and the seals are broken and moisture was trapped inside ☹ The cabin was to sleep 12. There was only 6 forks, 7 spoons and 8 butter knives. (they did bring 4 of each, which was still inadequate) The bedspreads on the beds were old, OLD and warn out, there were not enough blankets and Colonial told us we had to buy our own, they would not supply them. The couches were kinda gross, we put the sheets on them to sit on. The chairs were mismatched and 1 broken. There was black mold in 2 of the bathrooms, 1 bed was broken, 1 tv was broken. We made a trip to Colonial Properties and spoke to the manager about our long list of things that should have been cleaned, repaired, disclosed, as well as proper etiquette. We invited her to come to see, she said she would get back to us and never did. PITYFUL! There are multiple beautiful cabins with reputable realtors, I strongly suggest you save yourselves trouble and go to one of them and steer clear of Colonial Properties Cabin and Resort Rentals AND The Overlook Cabin

GBNot Impressed We have only been here for a few hours so far but we are disappointed. The cabin sleeps 6 by opening the sofa. However, there are no extra pillows for sleeping. Nor are there towels enough for 6. We have 4 towels, period. We have stayed many places like this and were always provided with things like salt and pepper, coffee filters, dishwashing liquid, etc. Not here. Not my idea of a great start to our vacation.

GBOur family rented the Keaton's Firefly… Our family rented the Keaton's Firefly Meadow cabin. We were so excited when looking at the photos and looking forward to our weeks vacation Unfortunately, the pictures are a lot better than the reality. The place is run down. The place was not clean. We had to wash dishes that were in the cabinets supposedly clean. Doors on the kitchen cabinets were ready to fall off. In the bedroom, one of our towels had a crusty stain or had not been washed. There was mold on the bathroom floor. Inside the bathroom cabinet there was drier toothpaste or shaving cream. My nephew found a used bloody bandage stuck to the underside of his blanket. I could go on and on. Do yourself a favor and find a reputable company to rent from.

GBDirty Even if everything worked properly you would still get a bad review because of how dirty the cabin was when we got there despite the 'cleaning fee' you got paid.
