Smokey Mountains vacation
We had a very enjoyable stay and were pleased with the location and general condition of the cabin. There were some things that were advertised in your ads that we felt were somewhat misrepresented. The air hockey game was plugged in but the switch to turn it on and off was taken out of the unit. (Why it was left plugged in in that condition could have been dangerous.) Also, the foosball table was broken and mended with duct tape, but instead of perhaps breaking it more, we didn't use it. Also, both VCR's had no cables to hook up the TV. These things were disappointing to us. Also, we did report to you that the smoke alarm unit in the stairwell to the lower unit was out of order. I'm also sure you're aware that the cabin originally had outside grills, (2) and now only one exists. Although the cabin was very adequate for our party of 11, making food on the existing small grill for our group was a problem. It seemed to us that this unit needed to have the owner or some responsible party going though it more often. If so, items like the missing blinds on one of the windows, putting some glue on the outside porch rockers where the dials are coming out, dripping faucet in the main floor bathroom, fastening the dishwasher so it doesn't dump front when you're filling it, would be addressed. Also, the refrigerator is in much need of repair. Shelfing in the lower part of the door is missing, so nothing can be stored there, and in addition, we believe that the ice tray is not the correct one. The icemaker continues to produce ice over the top of the tray instead of shutting off when full. That causes the ice cubes to assemble in the freezer unit and when the frost free element kicks in, water runs down into the lower drawers and bottom of the main compartment. Things like this tend to detract from the rest of the beauty and enjoyment of the stay.
