Only issues were burnt out light bulbs in a few locations in the living area the one bulb working in ceiling fan started going out on last night and was like a strobe light so we could not turn on lights in that area other than that it was all good.

Overall I enjoyed, but not crazy about the parking or grill location. I rented the cabin for certain amenities therefore if anything is not working properly information to the renters would be appreciated so I could have decided to stay or not. There was no hot water for the jacuzzi which to me is something the company was aware of, how did the cleaning company use, they should have definitely knew it wasn't working.

Our stay was very nice. We had no serious issues. There were a few things that inconvenient. We had trouble getting the internet to consistently work both on the roku tvs and and I couldn't get my computer to connect to the wifi. This was only a minor inconvenience because that wasn't what we were there to do. The staff at the office were awesome and very helpful and friendly. I will definitely stay with Parkdide again and recommend to others.

We vacation in the Smokies every year. Parkside cabin Rentals is where we stay every year and we have stayed in several of them and it is always a wonderful stay. Everything is always so perfect and so clean. We always just feel so welcomed and when it's time to leave we wish we could stay so much longer just because of you're cabins. Thank you Parkside Cabin Rentals for making our stay the best every year we come 🤗 so if you are looking for somewhere to stay in the Smokies this is it, you will not be disappointed.........

Thank you for an awesome stay. We will be back!

Friendly customer service . Nice to have to written directions to the cabin. Happy bear cabin was the perfect location. I will add. The one cabinet door is about to fall off. The throw pillows on couch are very dirty , one rocking chair on back deck is broken. There was a large cigar laying on the table that my granddaughter pick up , very nasty & dangerous to a child. Otherwise we had a good time & would definitely stay again. Although I am handicap & the bedrooms are up or down stairs. I made it … well done

There was a few issues with cob webs and a baby roach in the kitchen. The tub upstairs in the loft really needs a good scrubbing with bleach. The downstairs windows are broken and unable to open for fresh air. But other than those issues your cabins are beautiful. The area was peaceful even with the cabin being in such close proximity of others. We truly enjoyed our stay and would rent again.

Cabin was great! Housekeeping could be stepped up. Cobwebs on lights and animal mounts. Went to make breakfast and the frying pan 🍳 was nasty. Baked on egg. Improvised with another pan, so it wasn't a total loss. Both Jacuzzi Tubs did not work, but only tried them on our last day. Will definitely stay again!

Check in was very easy, the parking passes were a great benefit. I was a little disappointed with the cleanliness of the cabin. The lower bathroom in Happy Bear appears to have black mold on the ceiling and the towel holders were missing. The upstairs toilet would not flush and one of the chair's arms was broken on the patio. The pool table was gross with hair on it. yuck!! If the cabin was cleaner with an upgrade in furniture it would be perfect.

Loved the Happy Bear Cabin, rooms were awesome! Beds were comfortable, however; there are a few things to improve on. 1.Trash picked up in the woods behind cabins would have improved view off the deck. 2. Furnace filter needed replacing. 3. Felt needs replacing on pool table, lots of stains. 4. Utilities room in basement is loaded with empty cardboard, leaning against equipment, a real fire hazard, should never be stored around furnace and hot water heaters. 5. Pots and pans are in horrible condition, non stick is wore off and chipping on skillet. Needs a new, bigger skillet at least.

Overall, the entire experience with ParkSide Cabin Rentals was good. The booking experience was very easy online. The check-in experience was also very simple and I was very appreciative of the coupons I received when checking-in. The cabin was very nice and had every amenity that was shown on the website. The only downside of the trip was that there was no blanket for the sleeper sofa. There was a fitted sheet and a top sheet but no blanket. We end up not needing one, but it would have been nice to have that if we needed it.
