Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Smoky Mtn Retreat for several years and very pleased with staff and property. The staff is very helpful and friendly and address any issues that may occur. The properties are very clean and well maintained. Love Bear Hug Inn, except they could use more comfortable furniture on main floor and more rockers instead of hi-top on deck. Highly recommend Smoky Mountain Retreat.
