The cabin was very relaxing. The check in process was simple & efficient. The decor was just right. We enjoyed the view, peacefulness & relaxing in the hot tub in the evening.
Would consider staying again- very good communication and nice location and cabin was as expected or better. Only minor complaint was cabin could have been cleaned slightly better but still overall was clean enough.
Bathrooms and kitchen were clean and there were actually enough products to last the week. There were a lot of dead ladybugs and cobwebs...they could have been cleaned a little better. Kitchen table is very unlevel...we put some books under a leg to keep it from rocking back and forth. A small block of wood would solve that problem. It would be nice if the cleaning people put the arm down on the icemaker so there would be ice available when tenants arrive.
Overall it was a nice stay.
never could get fireplace to work, views were not as shown on listing, foliage around cabin blocked views, loft view was good but windows were Very dirty, the fact that cobwebs were not only on the outside of the windows but even on the inside, shows how long it's been since they were cleaned
All the amenities of home. Enjoyed the hot tub, pool table, and soaking in the jacuzzi bath tub while viewing the breathtaking scenery. It doesn't get better than this !!!
The cabin does have a wonder view and semi secluded location. The cabin is perfect for couples who want a nice quiet getaway. The large windows let in lots of light and were wonderful to wake up to the mountains view. We also seen a few bears in the neighborhood which was very neat. There are some steep hills but nothing too bad.
Stayed 1-4 Aug. Great location about halfway between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Seen Black bear everyday. Will try and stay during the week next time. Gatlinburg got kinda crowded on Saturday.
Cute little cabin. Not as clean as I would have liked, but it was just my husband and I so it was fine. The roads getting to the cabin were very narrow and steep, so it would not be good in the winter.
The place wasn't horrible but not the best experience.
The mattress was absolutely terrible!!! The sheets were too small for the bed. The floor was filthy and had not been mopped in quite some time. Tried to mop but there was no mop to be found. My socks were so dirty from walking on the floor that i had to change socks before putting on shoes. The hot tub was nice. Overall, I wont be staying there next time.
The cabin we stayed in offers beauty and comfort. Has a video game machine and pool table or amazing internet speed for for days not fit to go out. The cabins look almost like they grew out of the mountain. The roads are paved and well maintained. Flatlanders may want to request a cabin near the bottom but the real beauty is near the top. The whole process from reservation to checkout was fantastic. Many thanks to Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals for making our vacation spectacular.
Aunt Bugs was very communicative regarding check-in and expectations. The cabin was about 2 miles outside of Pigeon Forge and minutes from restaurants and entertainment, while remaining in a natural environment, quiet, peaceful and scenic.
The cabin was clean and gave a woodsy feel. Full windows on the rear of the cabin provided and nice view upon waking in the queen bed, loft bedroom. A pool table and video game with several games added to things to do but couldnât touch the 4 person hot tub on the rear deck, hot, clean and protected from view.
If I had to be picky, the shower located downstairs from the bedroom was tiny for the claustrophobic and while the fireplace didnât work upon arrival, it was fixed by the time we returned from seeing the town. The hills getting to the cabin can be intimidating but just take your time.
We didnât use the washer or dryer, nor the indoor jacuzzi tub but it was nice that they were available.
No ârealâ complaints. As we have never been to the area and will return âinâ season and upon the return, I would use this cabin again or al the very least, something from Aunt Bugs.
The cabin was nice, and all was as advertised. the only issue is the sound of the living room TV. however, once I signed on to Netflix it corrected itself. so, I guess it is the cable box and not the TV. the staff was very helpful, and the location is awesome.

This cabin was cute and cozy and exactly as described in the listing. The bed was comfortable, and we loved the pool table and hot tub. The kitchen was adequately stocked and having the washer/dryer was very helpful.
One criticism of the experience: I paid half of the total cost with my own credit card and knew up front that I would have to sign a Credit Card Authorization form and that I would be required either to check in in-person or to check in "digitally" by sending a photo of my driver's license/face and credit card. A friend of mine paid for the other half of the cabin with their own credit card as a gift to me - I was not surprised that the friend would need to fill out a separate Credit Card Authorization form, but what did surprise me was that Aunt Bugs expected for the friend to also send a photo of their license/face, even though the friend was not staying in the cabin. Aunt Bugs sprung this requirement on me 2 days before I was planning to travel out of state to their cabin. This seemed unnecessary and very invasive of my friend, but Aunt Bugs would not budge on this requirement. I ended up having to forego the gift from the friend and pay for the entirety of the cabin out of my own pocket (plus an additional charge for them to refund my friend's credit card).
We ended up enjoying our stay at this cabin, but if I had known the extent of what would be required of my friend to gift us part of the stay, we would have picked a different location.
This cabin has an amazing view from the back porch. We went in the fall and it was beautiful seeing the all the fall colors on the trees and a great view of the smoky mountains. It's a great location between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The drive to the cabin once you get in the neighborhood is narrow only wide enough for one car. But it's not too bad. The only bad thing I can say is the the cabin needs a deep cleaning. Other than that's it was a great place to stay for our small family. I would definitely rent this cabin again.
