“We had a wounderful time staying at the Cabin, it was more of a Home-Like atmosphere, we didn't want to leave.
Thanks, & GOD Bless,”
- Pat & Terry M. in Biscuits N' Gravy, 11/18/2009
“We enjoyed are stay and the cabin very much. We will definately stay at one of your cabins again. Very clean and cozy.”
- The Naples in Southern Pleasure, 11/14/2009
“Overall, we had a great stay at Bear Walk. The chalet is a very comfortable place with great bed rooms and private baths.”
- Jill L. in Bear Walk, 11/14/2009
“I just wanted to comment on how nice our stay was at The Nestle Inn, room 203 from Nov 8-11, 2009.
Everything worked and the room was very cozy and located closer to downtown than I thought it would be, but so quiet and peaceful.
The staff is super friendly and the setting is amazing. Who needs 5 star rooms which cost 4 times as much when the Nestle Inn has everything a person trying to get away can ask for!!
We will be back! Thank you...”
- Danny & Susan R. in M203, 11/11/2009
“Our stay at Baskins Creek was wonderful. The cabin was very clean and neat. The only complaint was the jets in the jacuzzi do not work properly. Other than than we enjoyed the visit very much.”
- Christy M. in Robin's Nest, 11/11/2009
“I would like to say we loved our stay at Fancy Free. This was our first time staying at Fancy Free as we usually stay at The Sanctuary. Fancy Free is so much nicer. It was very clean and did not smell musty like the Sanctuary. The couches were much more comfortable. All in all, we were much more satisfied with Fancy Free.
We did not take the trash out as we couldn't find the trash cans. The shower on the main floor needs the door put back on track better. We did the best we could to get it on the track right, but I think it is still off a little.
We would recommend you change the shower heads out. These find water heads (I assume these are supposed to help conserve water) take forever to rinse the shampoo out of your hair. We were a group of women and we noticed that right off.
All and all, we loved the place and will stay there again in the near future. Thanks for recommending it.
Sincerely,”
- Barbara P. in Fancy Free, 11/09/2009
“GREAT STAY, VERY NICE, WOULD DEFINITLY STAY THERE AGAIN AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO OTHERS. ONLY 1 CHANGE I WOULD MAKE, A NEW GRILL.”
- Andy E. in Bears Crossing, 11/08/2009
“Our stay at Honeytree Hideaway was great. We liked the cabin.”
- Carolyn C. in Honeytree Hideaway, 11/08/2009
“We had fantastic weekend. This was our 3rd stay with you, and this was our favorite cabin! Very roomy and nice, great location, beautiful scenery.
Nothing really to change, the only suggestion I would have is the early checkout! 10am is pretty early for us. Noon would be SO much nicer! Spending all day at Dollywood, didn’t get back to the cabin until late, had to eat, relax, got to bed really late, then to be up, packed and ready to be out by 10am is hard! Hate to end a vacation rushed like that. But everything else was perfect.
See you next Fall!”
- Terri G. in A Bear's Paradise, 11/08/2009
“Overall, the room was nice and clean; however, we have a few suggestions we feel would make the room a little better: an alarm clock would be helpful, the coffee was extremely bitter (and we are “coffee people”); perhaps a different brand would taste better. When we made the reservations, we were given the impression that you were located only 1 ½ block from downtown Gatlinburg; however, the actual “walking” distance was much more. We were a little disappointed with the walk.
Other than these things, we were very pleased with our room. The décor is beautiful, the Jacuzzi and the fireplace were very nice; a very romantic touch for our anniversary. Our room was worth the price paid and we will recommend the Nestle Inn to friends and family. Thank you for the opportunity.”
- Brent C. in M205, 11/07/2009
“We had a very pleasant stay at the cabin Joshua, and really enjoyed the scenery. We have plans to visit again.
We were very please that the cabin was everything we expected and very clean.
We have plans of returning in the future.”
- Teresa B. in Joshua, 11/07/2009
“We enjoyed staying in Angel's landing.
Thanks.”
- Hassan P. in Angel's Landing, 11/03/2009
“We really enjoyed celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary at your always and forever cabin. we stayed in another cabin of yours a few years back and this cabin was perfect. the first cabin was too dusty. my wife was sick for a week until she got all the dust out of her system. she has c.o.p.d. always and forever was just the right size with the right amenities we desired. we hope to return to gatlinburg on our 25th anniversary and want so very much to stay at always and forever again. thank you so much for a most memerable time. sincerely,”
- Thomas J. in Always & Forever, 11/02/2009
“We enjoyed our 3rd stay in the High Hopes cabin in Gatlinburg this weekend.”
- Kenny L. in High Hopes, 11/02/2009
“The cabin was very nice. Only negative was no washer/dryer. Didn't realize that when we booked. Probably will not stay again due to that. Otherwise, we would book with you next trip.”
- Debbie L. in Hearts Desire, 11/01/2009
“We really enjoyed our stay at “As Good As It Gets”…It was very convenient to Dollywood. The house itself was beautiful, with really nice furnishings. We are already planning to try and get it again, next year.
The only two small situations that came up were: 1) The hot water wasn’t quite hot enough, but maintenance got to it very quickly, and then, 2) when we were cleaning up, getting ready to leave, we noticed a small leak under the kitchen sink, at the trap.
Way more positives, than negatives!!!
Best Regards,”
- Irvin G. in As Good As It Gets, 10/30/2009
“This is our 4th time staying at Gatlinburg Village Townhouse # T501. We love the perfect location of this unit, and feel right at home!! Only issue is the TV in the downstairs bedroom. It needs replacing...!! We can't wait for Spring to return and do it all again!!
CrossPlains, Tennessee”
- Robert & Susie - in T501, 10/29/2009
“Thank you for a wonderful time. Everyone truly enjoyed themselves. It is a beautiful cabin and we couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you very much. We have used Baskin Creek off and on for 5 years and you have not let us down yet.
It was outstanding.”
- The Wefers and The Brooks in Cherished Times, 10/27/2009
“We were quite pleased with the cabin. The staff was very friendly and very quick to respond when we had a need. We could not get the shower to run hot water. When we got home that evening, it was fixed, there was a note as to what to do and it worked just fine.
Nicely decorated, very comfortable. The couch was just the right firmness, the carpet was very very soft and cushy. The kitchen had everything you needed. The layout was very nice. The swing, the little table where we ate and of course the hot tub was really wonderful.
My big mistake was reading the little journal where you leave a message for the owner. Was not happy to hear about "scorpions in shoes". Therefore I checked everything and always turned my shoes upside down to make sure we didn't have a little guest.
The hot tub was great! The weather was perfect for it as I get cold easy.”
- Elizabeth M. in Joy Log Cabin, 10/26/2009
“Stay was nice , really liked the lovers lair cabin but i ask for a mountain view and was told it was and then got there and found out it was a woodland view is our only nit pick. but all in all was very pleased.”
- William B. in Lovers Lair Cabin, 10/26/2009
“We had a wonderful time. The cabin was almost everything we expected and in many ways much more. It was clean, comfortable, well-equipped with amenities, a good location, and had plenty of towels and washcloths. It was certainly a good value for the cost.”
- Karen D. in Biscuits N' Gravy, 10/26/2009
“The cabin was really nice and was clean and ready for me when I got there. The only comment I have is that I specifically asked a reservationist on the Thursday before my arrival if the cabin was equiped with either gas logs or a woodburning fireplace, as your website describes it both ways in different places. Your associate explicitly told me that it was woodburning, so I hauled wood 4 hours and 45 minutes with me to be able to have a fire each night of my 3 night stay, only to arrive to gas logs. That's not so bad, but....on the second day of my stay the propane tank was absolutely dry. I would have expected that would be checked regularly and kept full at all times. Again, that is no big deal either, but taken together that did get a little aggravating. I would suggest that the website be updated and your associates correctly informed as to the amenities for each unit, and that the propane levels be checked as a part of weekly or monthly maintenance checks.
Thank you again for a wonderful stay, and should I decide to visit again, I will of course contact you.
Sincerely,”

“Just wanted to write a brief note to say we enjoyed our stay in the Country Charm chalet. The view was very nice. We certainly would have been able to see more had we been able to get the clouds and rain to leave the area. The shops, Craftsman's Fair, the food, and all points in the Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg area were fun as well. The chalet itself had a nice decor and particularly pleasant were the scripture references and wall plaques as well as having a Bible handy. Thanks and hopefully we can get back your way.”
- Charles & Kathy J. in Country Charm, 10/25/2009
“I just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed our trip and our stay in the Miss Jewel. It was clean and very close to downtown, as described. We walked downtown from the room. The staff was friendly and we would enjoy staying there again. Too bad it was raining our entire trip, but it was nice inside the cabin. We really had a great time and had no complaints. Thanks”
- Angel S. in Miss Jewel's, 10/21/2009
“My wife & I just returned from "At Wild Turkey". We had a very happy experience at the cabin. This was our 20th Anniversary and we wanted make it kinda special and take a cabin in the mountains. We were very pleased to say the least. Our Cabin was spotless and very well appointed. The weather was not so good during our visit as it rained most all of the time. We had a special treat, we were happy to see it snowing on the Mountain as we went over 441 to Cherokee on Saturday. It was special because it snowed the day we were married at the " Chimneys'" 20 years ago. We will be back and rebook the same cabin again next year. Thanks from our hearts for such a great time.”
- Dan & Patricia W. in At Wild Turkey, 10/20/2009
“The cabin was gorgious. I really enjoyed my stay. It was well kept and had more accommodations than I had anticipated from the dishes to pots and pans, etc. I would consider contacting you again for my vacation in Pigeon Forge.”
- Donna W. in Smoky Mountain Rose Log Cabin, 10/20/2009
“Your cabin was perfect! we had a wonderful time, the cabin was clean, comfortable and beautiful we would definitely recommend baskins to friends and we would stay with you again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful vacation”
- Jon & Stacey R. in All About Us, 10/19/2009
“"What a great place! Not only was the location great but the cabin was very comfortable and spacious. The fireplace, spa, and billiards room were perfect for our needs. I would highly recommend this for someone wanting the convenience of the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. The house is tucked away in a quiet community and the views are incredible. We wanted to do some hiking and was surprised to find we could go right from the house. We will certainly be back!”
- DK in Whispering Pines, 10/18/2009
“I would like to say that we were very pleased at our stay at your rental cabin. Everything exceeded our expectations. We recieved all information in a timely manner and our arrival and departure was seemless. We did note that there was a leak from refrigerator and someone was out to repair it in less than 30 minutes. I enjoyed our stay and we will be back soon.”
- Ken & Kristie in Always & Forever, 10/17/2009
“We enjoyed the Chalet very much. We have booked it already for Oct. 21, 2010, for 4 nights. Everything was very nice. We did notice that the pots and pan were looking worn out. Lucky that I brought my own large pot for our meatsauce.
Thanks for a really great vacation.”
- Ann J. in A Heaven's Blessing, 10/15/2009
“Thank you for your e-mail on our stay in Buckhorn Lodge Oct. 8 - Oct. 12. We were six adult couples, ages from early 30's to early 70's, and everyone enjoyed their stay. The house was well laid out and never once did we feel overcrowded. Some thought the driveway was too treacherous but most of us live at sea level and are not used to the mountains. Our one complaint on the clogged bathroom was handled promptly. We couldn't get the fireplace to work but didn't call because it wasn't really needed. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the lay out worked really well. My husband and I stayed in the dark blue bedroom on the upper level and the bathroom could use a good scrubbing (the toilet, the shower curtain, the woodwork) but no one else complained about their rooms so it may have been just that one. Overall it was a great stay and I would recommend it to anyone. The view from the deck was amazing and enjoyed by all.”
- Sandy P. in Buckhorn Lodge, 10/14/2009
“We had a wonderful time, everything was perfect. The room was very charming,”
- Tina W. in Brent A, 10/14/2009
“The condo was a very nice honeymoon spot. I wish i had read the instructions about being advised to make the trip before it was dark. We learned it was extremely hard to find in the fog, rain, and the fact we were going up the mountain!
We liked the fact there was a guest journal for guests to sign..we would have just liked to been able to sign it! The old one has been filled up since March. It was interesting to read.
Overall, we loved it! Thanks!”
- Chris C. in Knotty But Nice, 4104 High Chalet, 10/14/2009
“Cabin was great, except for the mattresses on the beds - not at all comfortable. Thanks.”
- Sherry A. in A Viewtiful Vista, 10/14/2009
“The cabin was the best part of our trip, the weather was not nice while we were there,however the cabin made us forget about the weather. We all have no complaints and will tell all of baskins creek. thanks again,”
- Anthony S. in Wild West, 10/13/2009
“we did indeed have a good time, enjoyed it very much, even the rain!!!! would suggest new mattresses on all three beds. another complaint------- we spent too much money. thanks for all the help your people gave. you made it very easy to enjoy the weekend”
- Kent L. in Blue Rhapsody, 10/13/2009
“We were SOOOOOOOOO pleased with our recent stay at the lovely Lumberjack Rack! We absolutely could not have asked for any nicer accomodations! We were awestruck by the cabin the moment we entered the door, and stayed that way until we HAD to leave...loved every minute of our getaway and definitely look to book again with Baskins Creek! Thanks again!”
- Becky P. in Lumberjack Rack Log Cabin, 10/13/2009
“I wanted to let you know we had so much fun in the cabin.
We had a cousin get together and we chose the Fancy Free cabin and Fancy Free is just what we was. There was people there from the state of IL and Ky. We will be back in the future.
Thanks”
- Cookie M. in Fancy Free, 10/12/2009
“We had a great time, we were having our yearly family trip together and are already thinking about next year with you guys. Although we need three bedroom three bath next year it was a little difficult trying to use restrooms because they were all in the bedrooms. We had plenty of room other than that . My husband and I took the loft and gave our two children and there spouses the bedrooms,so I think we will definitely need the three bath next year! Also we celebrated our grandsons first birthday this year so next year Play Space for him will be good!!! If you have any suggestions let me know? We do not like places that are hard to travel to and must be NICE and clean prefer newer cabins. We also thought that the price was great! We could not have had nicer weather it was beautiful!! Thanks again”
- Tammy & Tommy M. in Cherished Times, 10/12/2009
“We enjoyed our stay with you all Oct 6 - 9,2009- the cabin was great,
location was wonderful and you couldn't beat the weather!”
- Marilyn L. in Bears Den, 10/11/2009
“AS ALWAYS OUR STAY WITH BASKINSCREEK WAS GREAT. THE CABIN WAS VERY CLEAN AND THE STAFF VERY POLITE AND HELPFUL. WE HAVE RECOMMANDED YOU TO SERVERAL OF OUR FRIENDS. WE WILL STAY WITH YOU ALL THE NEXT YEAR WHEN WE COME BACK”
- Richard & Linda H. in All About Us, 10/08/2009
“Thank you so much for once again making our stay a great one. We are on a very limited budget and the phone rep. went out of her way to give us a discount for booking at the last minute. We brought our grand children with us this time and they had such a great time that they have decided we all need to move to Tennessee. We love staying with you all and wouldn't think of staying any where else.”
- Robin & Larry N. in M107, 10/06/2009
“Well thank you so much, we had a wonderful time in the smokies & my wife & my daughter loved the cabin. We were already talking about returning, Hopefully sometime soon, So thanks again we had a realy good time!”
- The Browns in Southern Pleasure, 10/01/2009
“THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO STAY WITH YOU. THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME WE STAYED IN A VIEWTIFUL VISTA. THE VIEW IS FANTASTIC. OUR DAUGHTER AND SON IN LAW REALLY ENJOYED IT. OUR DAUGHTER IS IN A WHEEL CHAIR, SO WE HAD TO MAKE THE SWITCH FROM COUNTRY CHARM TO A VIEWTIFUL VISTA. THANKS FOR MAKING THE SWITCH FOR US. WE'LL BE IN TOUCH WHEN WE PLAN TO VISIT AGAIN.”
- Roy B. in A Viewtiful Vista, 10/01/2009
“Dear Staff at Baskins Creek:
Our reservationist's name was Elizabeth. She was super to work with. I first came into contact with her when we made reservations for June 25th at the Wild Wild West Cabin. It was a wonderful place. And we had the time of our lives. The decor was fantastic! I contacted Elizabeth again when I planned a weekend retreat with my brother and sisters with all of our spouses. We booked the Shenandoah! Now, accomodations don't come any better than that! We checked in on Friday and did not leave until Sunday morning. The kitchen was great and we turned out some sumptuous meals in it! It was a very restful and joyous weekend. I highly recommend both the Wild Wild West and the Shenandoah to anyone looking for a luxurious yet peaceful time! Thank you Elizabeth for all of your help! You were very kind. I look forward to lodging with Baskins Creek in the future.
Thanks again,”
- Ruby W. in Shenandoah, 09/29/2009
“Jake's Hideaway was great - thank you!”
- Amanda K. in Jakes Hideaway, 09/29/2009
“Our stay was WONDERFUL. The cabin was great, better than what the pictures showed of Angels Landing. We will definately be coming back....hopefully soon. The cabin was also very very close to down town Gatlinburg so we were able to see pretty much everything there. It was very convenient once we located the cabin. Thank you.”
- Kim B. in Angel's Landing, 09/28/2009
“We stayed in Fancy Free and it was beautiful. The only suggestions I have is put a light on the deck with the hot tub and paint the speed bump in Brookstone Village yellow.”
- Kristina S. in Fancy Free, 09/27/2009
“I loved the Chalet, I would return but there is only one main issue that I have
Going into the living room there is a drop down, there needs to be a separation on the carpet. It's not noticeable unless lights are on. Also the upstair's fan didn't work.
But I loved the layout of the Chalet, the peaceful atmosphere.
I found your price to be very fair.”
- Sheila H. in Angel's Landing, 09/23/2009
“Our ladies enjoyed their stay at Reid's Resort. They said it was beautiful. They appreciated the extended check out time! It was a challenge to get 22 ladies out of there on Sunday morning!
On another note, somehow a place mat was taken from the kitchen by mistake. I now have it. Please let me know where to mail it.
Thanks, again for your hospitality. We will keep you in mind for the next time.”
- Brent W. in Reid's Resort, 09/22/2009
“Just wanted to thank the Staff of Baskins Creek Rentals for making our stay again this year a memorable one. The Shanadoah is a lovely home and we found it, once again, to be the perfect place for us to stay.
We look forward to staying with you again in the coming years.
Please thank the owners and extend our appreciation for the use of the pool. As a Pastor, father and grandfather I was priviledged to baptize three members of my family there. These same three will also go through baptism here at church in the coming weeks.
Thank You and God Bless”
- Eddie S. and Family in Shenandoah, 09/21/2009
“I was very pleased with my choice of the Whispering Pines cabin for our family vacation. It's close enough to the action of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg (both within 3 miles), yet we were situated within the beautiful wooded Smoky Mountains. During the day there's not another human, building, or street in sight. At night it was comfortably dark and quite. And the hot tub was awesome!
Also, we were able to enjoy seclusion from other vacationers - the cabin is all by itself on a lovely, heavily-wooded property. While visiting the area we noticed other lodging that was available, all of which seemed to be multistory and multifamily - I certainly glad we didn't have to listen to other folks running up and down stairways, or having people staying "in the unit above us".
We were very happy with our stay at Whispering Pines, and will return soon!”
- Paladin M. in Whispering Pines, 09/18/2009
“Thank you for a very nice & pleasant stay! The room was very clean and very nicely decorated. We plan many more visits. Hopefully soon!! We were very pleased about how closely everything was to the Gatlinburg strip. We also are interested in leasing a/or this place if anything is open. Thanks for making our honeymoon a place we will never forget!
Thanks Baskins Creek,”
- Jon & Jessica W. in Falling Waters - Village Str 168, 09/14/2009
“Your company was great, our stay was wonderful: The townhouse we rented met our needs, there is a need for a fitted sheet for the pull out couch, my son did say it wasn't confortable at all, but still we were close to town so we could just take off and walk instead of driving and trying to find a parking place! Thanks for the email,”
- Vicki W. in T104, 09/09/2009
“Had a very good time at Baskins Creek. Very clean and at a nice location and close to downtown Gatlinburg!”
- Carmita I. in Cottage 101, 09/09/2009
“We stayed at the Robins Nest Cabin and it was everything we expected. It was extremely clean and fresh. The outside surroundings were very peaceful. We very much recommend this cabin to anyone and would not hesitate to stay there again.”
- Vicki M. in Robin's Nest, 09/09/2009
“The cabin was great, clean, it had everything we expected except for the pool table, we thought it was going to be a regular sized one instead it was very small, we didn’t really use it because of that. It would be great if the description said that it is not a regular size table.
Other than the above everything was lovely, rooms, bathrooms, grill, kitchen, hot tub, view and parking. One more thing I would like to add is that it would be great if in the website one could see the location and the view so one can choose the view, we had a decent mountain view but if I would have been able to choose I would have chosen something higher up in the mountain or a different view.
We had a great time. Thanks. BTW we loved the key code door so we didn’t have to carry keys.”
- Carlos C. in Blue Rhapsody, 09/08/2009
“We had a wonderful stay over Labor Day weekend. We rented the cabin, "Whispering Pines". We were certainly surprised at how remote it really was. It was exciting to travel up the mountain to find our cabin! The cabin was in good condition although I felt it could use some newer carpet and some of the furniture could stand to be replaced. The kitchen was nicely stocked with pans and dishes,etc. so cooking was easy for us. I would definately stay again, maybe bringing grandchildren. We would not come during a holiday again because the traffic between Sevierville and Gatlinburg was so heavy we wasted several hours total sitting in traffic (although nothing could be done about that). Thank you for the great stay!”
- Cindy H. in Whispering Pines, 09/08/2009
“I must say these townhouses are one of the best kept secrets of Gatlinburg. Your within walking distance but not too close to hear the noise and bustle. The place was fantastic!! The place was comfortable, roomy, clean and the mattresses were great for weary travelers to sleep on. 6 men rode their motorcycles down so we could ride “the tail of the dragon” and the best part of the trip is the townhouse. We were able to just kick back relax and enjoy the company and not have to ride our motorcycles to dinner or to shop.
I will definitely rent another townhome from Baskins Creek anytime I or my family comes to Gatlinburg; and highly recommend them to anyone I find interested in going to Gatlinburg!!!
Your FIVE STARS in my book Basins Creek Rentals!!!!
Thank you!”
- Alan R. in T605, 09/07/2009
“The cabin was beautiful and very well kept. We enjoyed our stay and will come back.”
- Fred S. in American Dream, 09/07/2009
“Dear Friends at Baskinscreek,
I want you to know I was very pleased with our stay with you! I have stayed with you a few times before, however, I did notice your upgrades in the rooms! I also wanted to say your staff was very pleasant and very helpful. We will be back. I also realized half way home that I failed to tip the housekeeping, please note I will be back and I will make it up to you! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Sincerely,”
- Yvette S. in M106, 09/07/2009
“We had the most wonderful time. Angels Landing was incredible.
The only suggestion.....on the day of arrival the dining room lights and one of the living room fans did not work. I called the person on-call but she did not know anything about the house. We never did figure out how them out.....we assumed the bulbs and fan were burnt out.
We so loved our stay and had a wonderful time.
Thank you.........”
- Patty M. in Angel's Landing, 09/01/2009
“We loved our stay at River song Retreat. It was just right for our group. The beds were comfortable. TV's good, Furnished well. etc.”
- Rick H. in Riversong Retreat, 08/31/2009
“Thank you for asking. We truly enjoyed our trip and our accomadations were absolutly top notch. The kitchen was fabulous and we enjoyed the views from the covered porches. With 9 people and dishes and showers there was not enough hot water at times. Also the Big Screen TV did not come on we could not figure that out but it did not matter we did not watch much TV. we loved it and would visit again. Thank you for all your help with making the arrangments we appreciate all you did. Thank you And have a great day. The Shanondoah Was very nice”
- Jamie R. in Shenandoah, 08/25/2009
“Thank you for the nice email regarding our stay at your hotel. We really enjoyed our stay at the Nestle Inn room 205, Aug 18th-21st. The room was wonderful! All the accommodations were very comfortable and great! I did have a couple of suggestions for future references.
1. Provide an in-bathroom blow dryer. I had forgotten to pack mine, and assumed that there would be one in the room. We ended up driving to Pigeon Forge to the Walmart and picked one up.
2. Update the TV or include a dvd player already hooked up. We brought our dvd player, however, we needed an extra cable which we didn't have with us to connect to the older TV.
3. Provide daily maid service that is there longer than a couple of hours in the early morning, or provide a place where towels can be picked up and also a dumpster or trash of some kind so that we can empty our own trash. We placed the do not disturb sign on our door so that we wouldn't be disturbed so early in the morning. But we left before noon each day and placed the maid service sign on our door. When we came back that night after hiking and sightseeing, we didn't have maid service at all one of the days. The office closes at 5pm, so there was no one to call to get extra towels that night when we returned.
Other than that, we really did have a great trip! We loved the king-size bed and comforter, and also the jacuzzi!
Thanks again!”
- Deidra S. in M205, 08/21/2009
“Hi, our stay with ya'll was excellent, the room was very clean, not far from the strip, and it was very peaceful. We have recommended your Motel to family and friends. The only thing that was wrong the last night we stayed the plug in by the window we had the camcorder battery charging on went out and the cable went out. besides that it was great.”
- Steven W. in Cottage 102, 08/21/2009
“We had a wonderful time in Gatlinburg. We enjoyed our townhouse. It was clean, within walking distance of town, and had a pool.
We did enjoy not having to keep up with a key but found the door to be somewhat problematic for my younger children.
Other than that the unit was EXACTLY what was promised--a big plus. You had adequate silverware and utensils and the fridge stayed very cold even when packed with food. (We have stayed elsewhere and the fridge always had a hard time keeping up with us. The icemaker kept up too.) Everyone enjoyed being on their own level and the reservationist was right, the kids loved the loft.
The decorations were tasteful and fun.
Overall rating A plus.
Thanks,”
- Cowden Family in T605, 08/17/2009
“Our Cabin was wonderful! Everything we needed was right there. The whole process from making the reservation to the express check in was great! We will be staying with Baskins Creek again!
Thank you!”
- Bethany W. in Wild West, 08/17/2009
“Our stay was terrific. The accommodations were the best we ever had. The decor was magnificent. We really enjoy the skins and stuffed wildlife that was part of the decor. The view was outstanding and the furnishings sure fit the cabin. Our grandkids did miss not having a pool but they enjoyed themselves. The only thing that could have been added was having a gas grill instead of charcoal. We do not use charcoal for grilling out.
We did have a small problem with raccoons. They were able to upon up the door and get into the garbage cans that were stored in the bin. If there were any bears around they would have no trouble getting to the garbage.
Thanks again for the wonderful accommodations.”
- Kathy E. in A Heaven's Blessing, 08/16/2009
“Thank you for the great accomodations that your resort provided for us. My family and I had a tremendous time! I felt as though we truely had a mountain top experience with the Lord himself, since we were so high up on the Mountain. As We witnessed the beauty of Nature all around us, I could feel the loving hands of our Creator in all of it. The overview of the Mountains around us were Breath takinges; espeacially after a particularly hard rain on Tuesday that we experienced. After it rained, smoke came down and filled the tops and shoulders of the Mountains around us. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I knew the handiwork of God was present. As for the Country Charm Cabin itself, It was just that. It had Country Charm. The Cabin was very quaint. The decor was beautiful and had a nice Tennesee, country, down to Earth feeling about it. I would'nt have traded it for anything. It was a true "LOG CABIN" experience, and one of the most memoriable vacations I have yet experienced. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share our experience with you.”

“We had the time of our lives. The air hockey table didnt work but that wasnt the end of the world. I will gladly come back and would definately recommend other people come stay as well.”

“Hi, we had a great stay at Gatlinburg, TN the cabin "Bear Hugs" was very nice and had most everything we needed. We would love to someday stay there again. I do have a few suggestions for future. The cabin needs a good cleaning. It was very dusty and had lots of spider webs around. You also need to leave better instructions as to how to turn the Hot tub on and off. We could not get it to stop coming on so we left it uncovered. You also need to leave an extra blanket the bed only had one on it and no other in cabin to be found.
Thanks for your everything.”
- Nan T. in Bear Hugs, 08/10/2009
[Unit has been deep cleaned and updated. Thank you for your comments.]
“Our trip to the smokey mountains this past weekend was great! This was our second time staying at the Eagles View. We were a little disappointed that the hot tub was not working and didn't find out until the maintenance guy told us. My suggestion is that you notify the guest of anything that is not in working order before hand.”
- Kimberly M. in Eagle's View, 08/10/2009
[We are sorry your hot tub did not work during your stay. We are currently informing guests of the hot tub problem before they book the unit. Unfortunately the Homeowner does not want to have it repaired at this time. Thank you for your comments.]
“Our cabin was GREAT!!! I was very nervous about our vacation this year because I was afraid we were going to have to stay in a stinky cabin........we all have been on those vacations where the pictures look wonderful......until you arrive and discover the pictures you've been looking at are not pictures of your cabin at all. This cabin was even nicer than the pictures......We were very pleased with our stay.”
- Angie W. in Fancy Free, 08/10/2009
“We very much enjoyed our stay at Reid's Resort. It was everything we anticipated and more.”
- Jim F. in Reid's Resort, 08/07/2009
“We stayed this week at 403 Baskins Creek Rd. unit 403 (Gatlinburg Townhomes). We loved the layout of the unit and found our stay to be very enjoyable. Did want to make you aware of one thing, however. There is an ant problem in the kitchen of the unit. They ended up on the table, counter, dishwasher and crawling on the wall behind the sink. We were careful to leave all food items in our fridge, but it was kind of gross. We found some spray under the sink and did what we could, but I would suggest you get the unit professionally sprayed. Just wanted to let you know.”
- Jay & Paula S. in T403, 08/07/2009
[The unit has been sprayed. Thank you.]
“"I stayed in Whispering Pines recently and was just so delighted. What a beautiful site to be standing on the deck of the cabin and all you can see are trees, mountains, and sky. Very peaceful and refreshing. To be so close to either Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but feel like you are miles from civilization. I look forward to returning to Whispering Pines soon!”
- Paladin M. in Whispering Pines, 08/06/2009
“My husband and I along with our 6 yr old child stayed in "Wild Turkey" cabin in Tennessee last week. We were truely amazed at how beautiful the cabin was. The internet pictures of the cabin did not do it justice, it was beautiful. The directions to the cabin were so easy to follow and the location was perfect, it was just enough away from downtown to enjoy the mountain view. The cabin was very clean and had enough towels,dishwasher detergent,soap,and garbage bags for the entire stay. We did not have any problems with the cabin at all. We are definitely looking forward to our next stay there. I would recommend new pictures being posted on the net so people can see the real beauty.”
- The Watsons in At Wild Turkey, 08/05/2009
“My family and I absolutely LOVED the Fancy Free cabin. It was very clean and well decorated. The beds were very comfortable, which provided a good nights rest. Thank you for your hospitality, and we will definitely stay with Baskins Creek again next year.”
- Cheryl W. in Fancy Free, 08/04/2009
“We thoroughly enjoyed the home we rented for our stay, Bears Crossing. It offered lots of room, was clean, neat, and had all we needed to enjoy our visit with our 13 relatives.
It was lovely.
There were two things that needed attended to, but we never got around to letting you know because we were so busy. The ground level tvs were fuzzy. The others were fine…probably a cable hookup issue.
The other was there was a squirrel(?) running throughout the walls of the home. I know critters are a problem, but he woke us up at about 5:30 every morning running here and there throughout the house in the walls, dropping things, etc. You may want to flush him out since he could cause problems and could be related to some of the TV problems since squirrels love to chew cables.
Other than that, the home was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”
- Vicki K. in Bears Crossing, 07/30/2009
“We enjoyed our stay and the cabin very much and definetly plan on reserving the "Meagan" again. We had owned our own cabin on a local river and had completely planned our wedding there on the 25th. On the 16th it flooded and completely destroyed everything including the cabin. Everything was a loss. That's what brought us to your cabin. We just couldn't plan another wedding so on the morning of the 25th we were married by the creek , just the two of us, in Gatlinburg, and continued with a wonderful honeymoon. As a bonus, while sitting on the porch of the Meagan we saw a bear on our wedding day and before we left on Monday we saw a momma and her two cubs right at our cabin. We hope to return on our first anniversary if not before. Thank you for helping turn a very rough time into a very positive and wonderful experience after all.”
- Debbie B. in Megan, 07/27/2009
“We had a great time. Great chalet - Bear's Crossing.”
- Jeff O. in Bears Crossing, 07/26/2009
“We had a enjoyable time. The accommodations were excellent. We plan to return next year. Tell the owner to place a casserole dish to serve at least 8 people in the unit. Thanks.”
- Rose C. in Biscuits N' Gravy, 07/24/2009
“We enjoyed our stay at your cabin...it was very inviting,comfy and homey feeling...we went with dear friends and were able to catch up and relax...The only thing i would sugget is hanging your hammock a little further out as it would have been alot more comfortable..We were surprised at how quiet it was with other cabins so close and we enjoyed the surrounding scenery on our many motorcycle trips we made during the week..Thank you again and i think your cabin has started a tradition for our friends and us...Thanks again”
- Paula V. in A Little Something Special, 07/24/2009

“We had a wonderful time visiting Gatlingburg and loved staying so close to downtown without the noice of downtown!”
- David M. in Cottage 103, 07/23/2009
“We wanted to thank you for a wonderful stay this weekend. Everything was perfect and the cottage was beautiful. We loved the unit we stayed in and we plan on visiting you again soon. We try to get up there at least 4 or 5 times a year. We have stayed at a lot of places before but we found that we enjoy staying at Baskins Creek when we come to Gatlinburg because you all are so nice. I'm sorry that I complained last time but this weekend more than made up for that one visit.”
- Jimmy & Parney D. in Honeymoon Lodge 12, 07/20/2009
“Hi, just wanted to let you know we had a great time on our trip to smoky mountains. Our cabin was great and cozy. We just had a few complaints. First off the grill at our cabin(Big Orange Country) needs replaced. It is very dirty and unsanitary to use. We had planned on grilling out but that didn't work out. Also the hot tub lid is awful heavy and broken which makes it too hard for one person to put it back on at nighttime. I think it needs replaced as well. Other than that we enjoyed the cabin especially the Mrs. PacMan game and the pool table.”
- Kim M. in Big Orange Country, 07/20/2009
[The hot tub cover and grill have been replaced. Thank you.]
“We were pleased with the location of the cabin. The cabin was mostly cleaned well, except for dust in a few spots.. We really enjoyed being off the main Parkway and enjoyed the setting. One morning we saw a mother turkey and three little ones walking along close to the cabin. There was quietness, and it was like being in the country with hearing the sounds of the catydids at nighttime and the sounds of different birds early in the morning. The spaciousness of all three levels was appreciated, as well as the jucuzzis, and the large hot tub on the deck. The beds were comfortable . We really wished for an ironing board and didn't get one. The cleaning staff need to be sure to clean the lint filter inside the dryer. It was left packed when we started to use it.This could be a fire hazard.
Renita, the reservationist was very helpful.
We hope to be able to come back again and stay at this cabin. It is beautiful.”
- Elaine and James, Leon and Martha, and Dale and Sheryl in As Good As It Gets, 07/20/2009
“The room and service was wonderful. The only complaint I have would be the air conditioning was remotely controlled. It made it really cold in the room, and caused a sinus infecion. Otherwise great place!!!!”
- Antony C. in Brent B, 07/17/2009
“We loved our stay at the Gatlinburg Village Townhouses. I noticed in the "keepsake" book that it had been mentioned on someone else's stay that the sofa sleeper was broke but it had not been fixed. We were not able to use the sofa sleeper because it was broke.
Also, the dining room chairs all needed to be tightened up. We were afraid that the chairs might break when we sit in them.
We did give this feedback when we checked out so hopefully it has all been fixed now.”
- Lisa H. in T605, 07/14/2009
[All repairs have been made. Thank you for you comments.]
“We very much enjoyed staying at the Nestle Inn. The only thing I would change about the rooms would be steps by the jaquzzi. I almost slipped it was hard stepping out and to the floor.
We stayed in the Charlee Ann. It was nice. Perfect just for the two of us! We loved that we kinda felt in the country even though we was just minutes away from downtown. Next time that we come to Gatlinburg we will be staying at the Nestle Inn again!”
- Angela P. in Charlee Ann, 07/13/2009
“We just arrived back home from our holiday get away in the As Good As It Gets Log Cabin. We love that place! We have stayed there several times now and will continue to request that chalet on our vacations to the mountains. On this stay everything was wonderful, with one exception: The sheets on the middle bed. The elastic is worn on the fitted sheet. To wake up several times a night to stretch the sheet back over the bed, is very tiresome. I do hope you all will look into the situation and request the owners purchase new sheets or if you all take care of the sheets, you will toss those out and replace with new ones.
While reading the visitors note book I read several times that people were asking for more dishes and some chairs on the decks. To really be "As Good As It Gets" a relaxing outside atmosphere would be great.
Again we love this place. Would love to be able to purchase it, however renting it a few times a year will work for us.
Have a blessed day and we look forward to being back it he mountains in October.”
- Roger & Leanne H. in As Good As It Gets, 07/06/2009
“We enjoyed our stay very much. The location is great the price reasonable. If we get the opportunity to visit Gatlinburg again, we will for sure check into renting a space from your company. We were in Townhouse T501. While we were there, we reported a broken shelf in the fridge, a locking problem with the dishwasher, and a slow drain in the main bedroom shower. A repairman came immediately. My only suggestion might be an air freshener of some kind. It was a bit “stuffy” smelling when we first arrived. Other than that, no problems. Thank you!”
- Lisa W. in T501, 07/02/2009
“Our family (5) recently stayed at the Le Rendezvous Chalet up on Ski Mountain. We want to thank Baskins Creek for making our stay perfect as we expected. We originally chose 'Alone At Last' with the understanding that it had a great view of mountains only to find when we arrived that there was absolutely 'no' view of mountains.
When we contacted your office and you changed our cabins, you changed our vacation and gave us complete faith that when something isn't what it's supposed to be, the staff at Baskins Creek will go above and beyond to make it right.
Thank you for the adjustment you made for us. We loved 'Le Rendezvous' and will be booking the same cabin again in the future. You saved our vacation.”
- Mr. & Mrs. Edward R. in Le Rendezvous, 06/27/2009
“We had a really great stay at our hideaway cabin. We hope to come again. We only had one problem the hot tub became milky after 1 day and we could not enjoy it but the rest of the cabin was really great .
See you again next year”
- The Wright Family in Bluff Mtn. Hideawy, 06/26/2009
“We enjoyed our stay at Angel's Landing, the only thing was the air condition unit in the lower level was leaking, and it had been leaking before we arrived. There was a real strong musty, mildew smell coming from that room. The maintenance man came out saturday and put something down to try and help the ordor. We were not able to enjoy the game room or the sauna because of the smell. My suggestion is to replace or fix the leaking air condition unit, and to replace the carpet in the game room. As we all know mildew, causes people to become ill, and I wouldn't want that to happen to any one. But besides that I enjoyed, and I will be using Baskinscreek for my vacation reservations in Gatlinburg. Thank You!”
- Mariea L. in Angel's Landing, 06/21/2009
[The air conditioner and the carpeet have been repaired. Thank you for your comments.]
“Hi we stayed at “Riversong Retreat” June 11 – 16. The cabin was beautiful, a real nice view. However, there was no vacuum cleaner or dust pan to clean with. We had 5 children and could have used a vacuum a few times. The directions to the cabin where a little confusing. The street sign should be on the opposite side for the left-hand turn, you cannot see it. It was also a challenge to avoid the trees hanging over the road, as we left there was someone trimming them. The closest pool was a good ways away, and the directions to it seemed confusing as well. Considering this is was the third cabin we were booked into, we didn’t know a lot about the area. You need to make sure that if you are booking cabins that are for sale that the people know it. We got moved to a cabin that was the opposite direction of the main reason we were there, and looked like it needed updates. Overall I would say the cabin and service was nice, but next time would suggest a map be sent of the cabin area for the people that are not familiar with the area, the cabin could use a gas grill, and when booked for 5 days more than 2 dishwasher soaps.”
- Mary P. in Riversong Retreat, 06/20/2009
[We are sorry that you were not able to keep the cabin you had originally booked. We hate having to move a guest and do our best to find a unit comparable to what they had originally booked as possible. Unfortunately because the units are all privately owned we do not always know they are for sale until they sell. Thank you for your comments.]
“Thanks for your email enquiring as to our recent vacation in Heaven's Blessing. Yes, we had a great time. This was our third time renting from your company and the second time we've rented Heaven's Blessing. Your people are great to work with, the instructions clear and easy, we have no complaints with the service and we'll likely rent through you again.”
- Gail & Steve H. in A Heaven's Blessing, 06/17/2009
“Our vacation at Big Orange Country June1- June5 was great. We really enjoyed our stay there. The only problem was the pool sticks had no tip and the King bed in the upper level the mattress was worn. The pictures online did the cabin no justice. In person the cabin was amazing and perfect. It helped my husband and I relax. Even though it rained we were still able to enjoy ourselves.
PS. The only disappointment that I really had was I was not able to see a BEAR in person up in the mountains”
- The Hill Family in Big Orange Country, 06/16/2009
“This is our 3rd time staying at the Little Log Castle" & we have always enjoyed it. The Baskins Creek staff worked with me this time to reschedule our original stay which was to be in April & due to a death in my family we were able to reschedule our vacation date to June. The only (2) things that I can say negative about it was that it was kind of warm during the daytime with the thermostat temperature on 78 & the bedroom carpet could use a good cleaning. Other than that everything was perfect & we will be back.
Thanks!”
- Valerie O. in Little Log Castle, 06/14/2009
[Carpet has been cleaned. Thank you.]
“My wife and I had a great time!The All About Us Cabin was immaculate!Our stay there was a great experience.It was super clean,had more things there than was expected.The jacuzzi was great as was the pool table.Next time we visit Pigeon Forge,we will stay in a Baskins Creek cabin!Thanks for the great stay!”
- Jerald W. in All About Us, 06/05/2009
“We really enojoyed our stay. We stayed two nights in Robins Nest. I loved the stream next to the cabin. We liked that it was so close to town but yet had such seclusions. We had a nightly visitor each night when my husband went out to smoke there was a racoon we nicknamed "rocky". He wasnt afraid of anything. He came both nights so i figure he is a nightly visitor. Never got agressive but loved to pose for pics. We loved the wooden furniture and absolutely LOVED the swing on the deck. It was definately a great visit and we will definatly come back. The only thing that did not work correctly was the jacuzzi tub half of the jets did not work. But the maintnence men were on that as soon as i told them, just wished it was working so we could have enjoyed that too.”
- Tim & Jessica L. in Robin's Nest, 06/03/2009
“Enjoyed the stay. Everything was great!”
- Monica in Whispering Pines, 05/29/2009
“Enjoyed the stay nice place. Needs a new grill had to purchase pizza aluminum pan to cover hole in bottom for charcoal, instructions how to operate hot tub posted by hot tub. complete instructions by the alarm for complete operations. P.S. don't own a hot tub or alarm, Mark”

“We had a wonderful stay in our cabin. The accommodations were very nice and relaxing which made for a truly delightful honeymoon. My wife and I will definitely recommend Baskins Creek to our friends and family. We look forward to staying with you again in the future. Thank you and may God Bless you and yours.”
- David S. in Heaven Sent, 05/21/2009
“We just wanted you to know that the Wild West cabin was great!...It was very clean and was decorated as you described. The only problem we had was that it showed a gas grill at the cabin, but had a small charcoal grill instead, and we had no charcoal!...However our stay was great and the scenery was beautiful..The directions were right on target, we had no problem locating it. Whoever decorated this one was very good!!..We will be back!!”
- Robert J. in Wild West, 05/10/2009
“We wanted you to know we truly enjoyed our stay in your cabin and plan on returning again next year. the only problem we had was not being able to get the dvd player to work but that was insignificant compared to the rest of the stay. thanks so much”

“Look at a map. Easier way to get to Pigeon Forge than going through G-Burg. Shower is too small (a couple would not fit, and it was our honeymoon). More dishware would be nice. Accomidations were nice: bed, hot tub, sleeper sofa (if you want to bring friends). No disturbances from neighbors looking to party (as we have experienced at other cabins/chalets), like I said, perfect for a couple. Thanks for a great time and plenty of privacy.”
- Bryan T. in American Charm, 04/04/2009
“thanks for the great stay it was a wonderful get away. everything was great and we will definently be coming back.”

“The cabin was beautiful...We had a wonderful time, we had problem with the cable and also the DVD was not working so we could't watch any movies, that's really the only complain....also my suggestion is that they should have a shovel for winter for the snow, there was so much snow and a shovel would have been so helpful... Renita was a blessing, she was always so helpful, for sure next time we would like for her to be in charge of our reservation again, we are definitely coming back soon...”

“Date of Rental: Check in 02/05/2009 - Check out 03/05/2009 (Yes, 28 wonderful days and nights.)
First, thank you for the firewood. As a consistent renter of Gloria's and Axel's cabin since it was built in 1988, we've been through many management companies and have seen the decline and re-birth of this property. We appreciate the efforts made by both the Roths and Baskins Creek to maintain the facility and protect it from both normal wear and tear and the abuses of those few unruly, disrespectful renter everyone encounters. We have always treated Roth's Place as if it were our own and indeed feel like we are at our second home when there. The problems of last year (mice, the failing rail by the hot tub and broken/missing glasses, etc.) seem to have been handled. We thought there would be a problem when on the morning of day we were to arrive we got a call on my cell about how a frozen pipe had burst and we would be placed in a condo at Wile Oakley and Ski Mountain Road. Your crew apparently worked very fast and we were allowed to go to Roth's around 4:30 PM
Soon it will be time to repair the front stoop and a few planks on the rear deck, but overall, we are quite pleased with the cabin, the towels, bedding (really nice), carpet and furniture. Unlike the Roths, we treat the upstairs bedroom as the master so a TV up there would be a nice touch. So would wireless internet - maybe Chalet Village Owners Club could spread some around the mountain.
In summary, the cabin was in good operating (no broken pipe) and clean condition when we arrived and when we left. Baskins Creek does a friendly and professional job. Thanks.”
- Richard D. in Roth's Place, 03/07/2009

Thanks for the hospitality,”
- Dennis & Cindy in Amy's Nook, 03/06/2009

“We where very pleased with the cottage.It was just as it looked on your site.It would be very nice if it had a window on the back side where the creek runs so you could hear the creek at night.The only thing i seen wrong was that the air conditioner and heater unit really needs to be cleaned out.”
- Melvin S. in Cottage 102, 03/06/2009
[The AC/Heat Unit has been cleaned out. Thank you.]
“We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was very beautiful, comfy and clean. Upstairs shower pressure was very low, however it did not bother us we just wanted to let you know..Thank you so very much for the special rate you gave us it really helped a whole lot on our money situation. We will be back soon. The Goga's from Loganville Ga.”
- The Goga's in Big Orange Country, 03/06/2009

- Alcus R. in Cherished Times, 03/06/2009
“I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful stay we had, this past weekend. The unit was clean and the perfect size for our family of 5. It was great that is was not that far from town, yet secluded! Unfortuneately we left one of our DVD's in the DVD player. We assumed that it was gone forever. I made a call to your office, and was told someone would get it and mail it to us. To our complete amazement it arrived in the mail 3 days later. What a pleasant surprise for a company to actually follow through on something as trivial as a DVD. We definitely will be renting from Baskins Creek again next year!”

“My husband and I LOVED the cabin! It was so beautiful and very clean! We were on our 9 year aniverssary and we had a wonderful time (We got married in Gatlinburg and visit often). We spent a lot of our time at the cabin just hanging out and relaxing. It was peaceful and fun too! We wish we could have stayed longer! We would love to stay at one of your rentals again! We heard many compliments from our friends and family when we showed them pictures of the cabin! Thanks for making it a memorable stay!
Sincerely,
Amy & Chuck H.”

- The Longs in M207, 02/19/2009
“We were very satisfied with our first Baskins Creek experience. The booking & check-in/out process was simple & easy and your staff was very helpful. The cabin "Cherished Times" was beautiful, well-maintained and beautifully decorated. It was far enough off the Parkway to feel "away from it all" and yet close enough to be convenient to shopping, dining & shows. We will definitely be back.”

“I could not print your paper on internet or download a lot of it that is why I called for code for door and directions--or address to put in GPS ...The place was wonderful and I hope to be able to rent with you again....Do you do anything”

“The cabin was amazing. Well exceeded our expectations. We are definately planning a trip back.
Couple of issues, the jacuzzy in the Main Suite leaks trough the ceiling to bathroom of the room below. I think it is in the pipes.
There was a stray cat that hung around the cabin all weekend. We didn't feed it but it was obvouis that someone had because it didn't go away. Other than that, the everything was fantastic, highly recommend!”
- Justin P. in As Good As It Gets, 02/13/2009
“The unit was very clean and comfy and lovely. The hot tub worked wonderfully, even with snow and ice outside and below freezing temperatures. Loved the pool table/air hockey. The flat screens were a nice touch. The express check in/check out was very convenient. The reservation process was also convenient.
However, I do have a few complaints/concerns. The bed was very small. It was advertised (on your website) as a queen size bed, but as I have a queen at home and sleep on one every night, I am certain that this was only a double. It was still comfortable, but it would have been nice to know what to expect rather than expecting the advertised queen size. Also, the unit was advertised (on your website) to have a jacuzzi inside as well as the hot tub outside. However, when we arrived we found a large tub, but no jets inside the tub. Not a huge issue with us, but as I mentioned above, we were expecting the advertised jacuzzi. Finally, the website also advertised the unit to have a wood fireplace. Therefore, we purchased lots of firewood prior to our arrival rather than buying it there. When we arrived, we discovered that the unit had a gas fireplace. This was better for my allergies so I was pleased, but my husband was rather ticked that he spent money on firewood that we can't use now. So updating the website to reflect these differences might clear up any confusion for future guests.”

“We recently stayed in High Alpine Condo 207 (Nov.7-11 2008) and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were apprehensive about staying away from town, but wouldn't have changed the location. We had everything that we needed and a great balcony and view. We had our son and his friend from the University of Al. and our daughter, son in law and 23 mo old grandson and we had plenty of room. We are already talking about booking our stay for next year at the same time.
Thanks for a great vacation
April T.& family”
- April T. in 207 High Alpine, 11/15/2008
“We really enjoyed the cabin. Everything was fantastic! Living just 4 hours away, We have visited the Smokey Mountain area many many times and have never stayed in a cabin! I can't believe we have not done this before ! We usually stay in a motel or campground. This stay has certainly changed our mind about future accomodations. From now on, it will be a cabin !! The American Charm is just perfect for a romantic weekend for two ! The view was beautiful, the setting was beautiful, very relaxing. We will be back !
Thank you !

“Great location! 5 minutes in either direction will take you to Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg. Great value for amount of money spent! I will definitely book another weekend vacation through Baskin Creek Rentals! Easy to book and use and easy to find. Secluded without being inaccessible. Great furnishings. We were all very pleased and were able to make great memories! Thank you!”

“Our last trip to the mountain was great. This was our sixth time staying with Baskins Creek Rentals. Everything was wonderful as usual. My husband and I were married 25 years on Oct. 8th. We have been planning a family cruise next May to celebrate our 25th. But we wanted to celebrate just the two of us first. So we decided to came back to the mountains and stay at Nestle Inn once again. We like the quite location of the motel and the easy walk to the parkway. You guys keep up the good work. We hope to see you again sometime next year. I almost forgot a small step would be nice at the end of the whirlpool in M113.”

“Hi , Im Brian and my wife and I have had the pleasure of staying in both over the last 18 months .
Lofty Heights was an incredible experience ; the private outdoor jacuzzi ;-) , the fully equipped kitchen , and ummmm.. did I mention the breathtaking panoramic views of the smokies (HINT:BRING YOUR CAMERAS!) . A truly wonderful chalet for a weekend getaway with the wife (and/or kids , the loft was really super cool with the view through the floor to ceiling windows )”

“Hi , Im Brian and my wife and I have had the pleasure of staying in both over the last 18 months .
Wolfs Run : An amazing vacation for the kids & Wife (oh and um , me). I couldnt keep them girls out of the hottub on the deck ! As for the bedroom jacuzzi , let me say that its the perfect size for two grownups ;-). The girls loved the loft , we loved the downtown conveniences , and the lot is semi-private and off the main drag enough to be quiet. The neighbors even have an open wifi if you cant break your internet addiction for a weekend ,lol .kitchens were well equipped , unit was spotless , and the laundry room was indispensible .All the amenities of home . Overall an A”

“Had a great time staying in the American Heartland Cabin.
We were there the last weekend in September, of 2008.
The only problem we had was that the Sat TV did not work the first night we were there. We do look foward to spending a vacation with you again.”

“My husband and I really enjoyed spending our anniversary in this cabin. It was so cozy and quiet being away from the noise of town. It was just the relaxation that we needed. I also liked not having to drive any curvy mountain roads. We look forward to our next stay with Baskins Creek. Thank You!!!”

“Hi,
My husband and I rented the unit called Falling Waters. It was a nice, quiet place to stay. We had everything we needed for a nice stay. The kitchen was fully equipped. The jacuzzi was very relaxing. The unit was clean and nicely decorated. We really enjoyed our time there. Being able to just call and get a number to unlock the door instead of checking in was also very handy. The free long distance is also a plus. Thank you.”

“Last year Sept.2007 my husband I came to Pigeon Forge with my brother and sister-in-law. My husbands brother was waiting for a heart transplant. We stayed at the Brookstone Village (Bird's Nest) Even though Jerry was not doing well physically he said that, if he lived long enough to receive a heart transplant he wanted to go back to Pigeon Forge and stay at the same place.
March 31,2008 Jerry had his heart transplant. We are so glad he made it through the surgery and we had to keep our promise to take him and his wife back to Tenn, This year we stayed at the Wild Wild West. We had a hard time keeping up with Jerry, needless to say we thank God everyday for this wonderful miracle of life he has/ given my husband's brother. Thank you again our vacation was great.”
- Mari Jane P. in Wild West, 09/21/2008
“I had a great time and enjoyed the cabin very much. I will stay there again anytime and you will be the one for my honeymoon getaway no problem. The only thing I thought should have been in use was the fireplace. I called and they would have sent someone to light the pilot light so we could use it but we could only stay there for 2 days so I didn't bother. I will return to stay in the cabin again. Thanks for everything and I hope to stay again soon.”
- Shawn S. in Beyond Expectations, 09/19/2008
“Our stay at the above cabin was wonderful. Everything was in place and set up just like we were at home. We had another couple that has never stayed at one of you locations join us and they loved it. I have recommended others to stay with you guys.'

“We loved the cabin! It truly was something special. It was clean, had many personal touches and contained everything we could possibly need.
The location was quiet and we enjoyed the wooded setting. We had a problem with the satellite TV service but after a call to the office someone came out right away. Baskins Creek was recommended to us and we will recommend you to others.”
- Steve R. in A Little Something Special, 09/18/2008
“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Suite 205. It was nice to be so close to everything but yet tucked back in the quiet and peacefulness of that area. We also enjoyed the swing outside the suite. Very nice added touch. We plan to return in the very near future.”

There was nothing that we needed that was not available to us at the site. We loved the view of the lake and the peacefullnes of the surroundings. I would be excited to think I could come to the Smokey Mountains again and stay in the beautiful Shenadoah Mountain Home. Thanks to the staff for all their help with our plans. The home is wonderful.”
- Regina M. in Shenandoah, 09/16/2008
“We truly enjoyed our stay at the Nestle Inn. Any time we are in town and will be staying in Gatlinburg, Nestile Inn is our choice. Our old high school teacher, Brent Clifton, brought us first to the Nestle Inn. We have stayed here ever since when we wish to stay in Gatlinburg as opposed to staying in Pigeon Forge. We have always been satisfied! Thanks for another great family vacation!”
- Heath G. in M107, 09/16/2008
“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "It's A Hoot". We especially enjoyed the quite area where the cabin was situated and of course, the pool table in the loft upstairs. Overall, we truly had an enjoyable stay in the smokies and hope to be back soon.
Thanks,

“Good afternoon,
The stay at Eagle's View was great!!!! We enjoyed the view, the vistors ( mama and baby bears and the raccoon) The hot tub needed to be cleaned but other then these few issues we loved it. I have one thing to add..I would love for you to create some kind of discounts for repeated customers. This was my 3rd visit and plan to return every year.”

The cabin was awesome and had all of the conviencies of home and all the perks of my condo, with great privacy. My stay was complaint free other than a hot tub malfunction that was quickly resolved by expert tecniacians who were in and out quickly and very professional. Over all the best stay and customer service that i have ever had in the gatlinburg area. Thanks for the great stay! We hope to see you soon as my wife loves the gatlinburg area and we visit the in-laws there all the time and i have to have my space and privacy! Thanks again!

The only suggestion is there wasn't any laundry detergent.”
- Rodney S. in Wild West, 08/29/2008

“We really enjoyed our stay! Very nice home! We would love to stay there again.”
- Susan W. in Eagle's View, 08/29/2008
“The layout of the cabin itself was great, just big enough for two people. We enjoyed playing pool upstairs in the loft, although we did bump our heads a time or two on the exposed beams! The private porch overlooking the small backyard was so peaceful, this was one of my favorite things about this cabin. I love being in the mountains but I don't necessarily like heights, so I was thankful that the driveway was basically flat...this is especially nice when you are trying to back into or out of the driveway in the dark. The location was ideal, just minutes away from both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone who wants some peace and quiet.”
- Kim W. in Sweet Temptation, 08/27/2008
“We did not get to get to our cabin till early in the morning. We were given a code so we could go straight in and not have to worry about checking in anywhere. Everything we needed was there. Very clean! We were very pleased! so much so we are coming back in December and using Baskins Creek Cabins! There were plenty of towels and toliet paper! love all the flat screen tv's everywhere too! Awesome!”
- Careese Y. in All About Us, 08/27/2008
“We found the accomodations to match the description on the website and the view of the mountain was just what we wanted. The cabin was clean and fairly easy to find, I would suggest including alternate routes (the back way from Sevierville, and coming up Buckhorn from Gatlinburg rather than on Glades as the road is less curvy). This cabin has a fairly level parking area and is spacious enough for a motorcycle trailer and truck while leaving plenty of parking space for your neighbors. The turn from Charles Lewis Way into the drive/parking area was tight and took some manuevering but nothing too difficult. We recommend this location for any one riding or hauling a bike. I recommended your outfit to a coworker prior to our departure and upon our return found out she had booked a cabin with Baskins Creek that happens to be the cabin that was right next to ours!”
- John S. in American Charm, 08/27/2008
“WOW! What a view! It is the perfect retreat away from the city. The ride to the chalet is quite an adventure but well worth it. The kids were disappointed the pool what not close by and there wasn't really many hiking trails from the chalet. (Or we just did not know about them.) but they managed to still have a blast. Is there a 4 bedroom chalet that is just like this one? My only recomandation is to supply maps and some brouchers of Gatlinburg in each cabin.We were kinda winging it. With the view and privacy? Thank you for making our family vacation one to remember.

“We loved the "Sportsmans Dream." It was very beautiful. It was in a nice location. The only thing we was hoping would be on the site was a place to wash and dry our clothes. That would have been great. Also the balcony door was very complicated to open. It needed some work. But other than that we enjoyed the unit and had a great vacation in the Smokey's. We will recomend Baskin's Creek to anyone we know who is planning to stay in the Smokey's and we will also rent with you again. Thanks!
John and Dana R.”

“We had a really great time while staying in cabin 101.
we did see one bear right by the railing around the pool, and also a ratcoon that kept coming back to get some ham and bread which was very neat for city slickers.
The cabin was clean and neat. The maid did a great job of cleaning while we were out. The only issue we had was the air did not work the first night and most of the second day and it was extremely hot. Other than that we had a great time and plan on returning in the Fall.”
- Robert B. in Cottage 101, 08/20/2008
“This was a fantastic experience for both of us. We had a great honeymoon and hope if God willing to come back every year and stay with you guys in the same cabin. We want to bring our family to the mountains soon, so maybe you can help us then. Look forward to it.

“The cabin was great. The housekeeping was excellent, everything was extremely clean. It was a super nice experience and I hope we can come again soon!

Thanks so much and we hope to see you again.

- Stephanie N. in A Little Something Special, 08/14/2008
“We had a wonderful time in the cabin. It was perfect for our large family. Really enjoyed the balconies, view and room to spread out. I loved the fact that we didn't have to go to the office to check in and out. All of your customer service representatives were so nice and very professional. One suggestion we have as a family would be to provide a bigger grill to cook on. We will be back. Thanks for everything.”
- Cheryl V. in Heaven Bound, 08/06/2008
“We had a wonderful time and the cabin was amazing! We enjoyed all the amenities. The only thing we would change is for the guests to be able to order movies off of the dish network and just make it where it would go on their bill so the owner would not have to pay for it. Because we enjoyed the sight-seeing by day, we like to wind down by watching movies at night. Everything was just wonderful though. Exactly what we were looking for. Both of our families have seen our pictures and now they want to take a big family vacation out there sometime. Thank you for everything. We had an amazing time.”
- Michael K. in American Spirit, 08/06/2008
“The room we rented was just plain but thats what we expected.

Thanks again,

“My friend and I loved 'Mount Swankarama'! We loved that this cabin was decorated with fun in mind. After looking at cabin after cabin with the same old country look we decided that this cabin, with it's more modern funky style, fit our style more than any other. If I had to give suggestions on making it better....new pool sticks would be nice and internet access would be great for looking up things to do in the area. All in all this is a fabulous cabin and I have already recommended it to all of my friends! We will be back in the future for sure!

It was absolutely awesome. The only thing that was inconvenient was the drive to Gatlinsburg to sign in. It would really have been nice if we could have signed in at pigeon forge. Other than that, It was the best vacation we have ever taken. We would highly reccommend this cabin to everyone!”
- Debbie H. in At Wild Turkey, 07/25/2008
“We really enjoyed our stay, we we're surprised there was a refrigerator, microwave in the room. When we applied online for the room these items we're not mentioned in the advertisement for the room which was a nice surprise. Also there was a swimming pool right outside our room which also wasn't mentioned in the advertisement which was also a nice surprise. It was a great stay thanks and we will definetly keep in mind for our next trip to gatlinburg.

Directions to the cabin were easy to follow.
There was some scattered trash around the cabin when we arrived that was reported when checking out. Might have been an animal.
Will consider Baskins Creek on our next trip to Gatlinburg.”

Have recommended you to several people already. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay.”

“What a wonderful place to stay! Within an hour of arriving, we saw an adult black bear walking up the street. Each of the next two days, we saw a family of wild turkeys. The hot tub was enjoyed each day by all and the game room was a hug hit. This home is wonderfully decorated and includes everything you can imagine. Truly one of our best vacations. Thank you so much!
T. Family”

“the cabin was great. we enjoyed the peace and quiet, soaking in the hot tub and just sitiing on the back porch. i would recommend it to anyone. it was clean.”
- Karen R. in Bearly Ruffin'It, 07/19/2008
“Everything exceeded our expectations. We searched the internet and sometimes what you see is not what you get. In this case, the pictures did not do the cabin justice. Everything was much, much ,better. You guys impressed us from the start. We arrived late, but had a detailed map and room key code waiting for us. Also, we wanted to stay close to G-burg to get downtown quckly, but far enough away to get away from the city lights/noise. Always and Forever was perfect. The the view was great, from the deck/hot tub, it seemed we were 100 miles from people yet a 4-5 minute drive and we were in the center of town. The kitchen was top notch with all of the thought that went into the accessories, pots, pans, utensiles. Another great idea for you guys was the direct gas connection for the grill...no hot coals to deal with. We made good use of the hot tub while watching the moon rise over the trees every night. We liked the garden tub inside as well. The log book is a great idea. It was fun to read where the other people were from and their take on the cabin and area. We also want to note that everything was very very neat and clean.
The mattress was sooooooo soft and comfortable. We slept great. The only things to report for repair is that the bathroom sink has only a trickle of hot water. The rest of the faucets ran fine hot and cold. I opened the valve all the way and no more water came out. The left speaker on the stereo has a lot of static...most likely a bad wire to the speaker. The lamp by the door will not stay on. It has power but the internals of the switch is not catching. These are very ,very minor and did not take away at all from our wonderful time. After about a day and a half we had already decided to return. As our schedules are very busy we are not sure when we can make it back, but this WILL be the place. You guys/gals made our vacation a great one to remember. Thank you all of the thought you put into this place and for the hard work to keep it this way.
Sincerely, Richard and Brenda...Lexington, Kentucky”

“My stay at Baskins Creek Nestle Inn was a very comfortable stay. It was clean and the people were friendly.. There were a few "friends" (ants) that came out on the last night once me and my girlfriend left a bag of chips open.LOL but I would say that it was a time to remember!! I will be staying again once I visit the smokies again!!! THank you for the memories... GREAT SERVICE!!”
- Darryl R. in Cottage 103, 07/15/2008
“THE ONLY THING THAT I REALLY THINK COULD MAKE THIS CABIN ANY BETTER IS A LITTLE WIDER DRIVE GOING UP TO THE CABIN. THE REST OF THE STAY WAS GREAT. WITH A LARGE SUV THAT WE DRIVE THE DRIVEWAY WAS REALLY TIGHT FIT.”
- Scott P. in Bluff Mtn. Hideawy, 07/15/2008
“My family and I had a great vacation! Everyone enjoyed the cabin that we stayed at, the location, etc. It is very possible that if we come back to Pigeon Forge we will ask for the same accomodations.
The vacuum cleaners at the house did not work, but that is a minor thing and I think the belt probably was broken on one of them. other then that, there were no other problems.
Express our gratutude and thanks to the owners of this house for the opportunity to use their home away from home.
I was also impress on the names of some of the houses - "The Sanctuary", "john 3:16", etc. Is there any particular reason for these names? I liked the idea.
Have a blessed day.
Tim L.”
- Tim L. in Sanctuary, 07/15/2008
“We enjoyed our stay at your location. I was not sure at first due to the fact that it was an older building, but the people where great and the room was clean. The only thing we noticed is the carpet needed to be cleaned and I had to clean the hot tub befor we used it. All in all it was an enjoyable stay. We had a great vacation and our housekeeper was great!
Thank You
Mrs. T.”
- Kathy T. in M207, 07/15/2008
“We stayed in the Townhouse unit #402. We had a very comfortable stay and enjoyed our visit. Our accommodations as well as your service was great. Check-in and check-out was easy and convenient. The townhouse was clean and well maintained, as well as the pool. The property was very quiet with little to no noise distraction. Not only would we stay at Baskins Creek rentals again, we will recommend you to family and friends.
Thank you,
Steve and Jill C.”
- Steve C. in T402, 07/14/2008
“We have a Wonderful time. Everything was PREFECT! The best part is that we seen two black bears about 10 minutes after we arrived at the cabin. The cabin was prefect. We would like to stay in that cabin again. Thank you! We don't have anything bad to say about the cabin. My daughter named her stuff black bear that she bought Cozy Bear. We will always remember that cabin.
Thanks,
Michelle S.”

“We had a great time.. It is a really nice cabin... the middle deck outside needs some work but that is the only thing we noticed.. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting in the future”
- Evon B. in Lazy Bear, 07/09/2008
“The room was very Nice. Housekeeping was thorough and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed staying there for our vacation. The only suggestion I would have is to look into offering WIFI internet service to your guest. I noticed that myself and another guest were having to go down the hill to use our laptops. It would have been more convenient to be able to stay in our rooms to do so.
Very enjoyable stay!!”
- Amy S. in M113, 07/08/2008
“I had a wonderful time in the room. It was much bigger than i expected. The private patio was sensational. I've wanted a swing on a porch since I was a little girl so I'm pretty sure i spent most of my time on the swing. I felt welcome, daily housecleaning was definately a plus. and the fireplace (not to mention the heart shaped hottub) was very romantic. The room itself gave us a feel of the Smoky Mountains so wether we were inside or out i felt far from chaos and close to nature. It was a pleasuer coming home to after our long drives and horseback rides. I will most definately return. Thank you guys so much”
- Montana R. in M207, 07/08/2008
“We had a great stay in Mathew 11:28. The cabin was in excellent condition and fully complimented with everything we needed for our stay. We took full advantage of the kitchen, hot-tub, and even the DVD player and TV on one lazy evening. This was our 18th "honeymoon" and we couldn't have asked for a better way to enjoy it. Baskins Creek Rentals customer service was outstanding. The rates were great and communication was complete, concise and truly accomodating. All we can say is THANK YOU for a outstanding experience. We hope to have the time to come back during the Winter holidays!”
- Jeff F. in Matthew 11:28, 07/08/2008

“We very much enjoyed our stay at Windy Oaks. Everthing in the unit was pretty much perfect, I don't believe we could have picked a better place to stay. Everyone was also very friendly and helpful. I would like to thank you for making our stay a great home away from home! Thanks Bonnie L.”
- Bonnie L. in Windy Oaks 207, 07/05/2008
“We ablsolutely loved this cabin, especially the theme of it. It was perfect for our honeymoon, quiet and cozy. Having the anemities like the pool table, hot tub, and the jacuzzi in the master bedroom made us not want to leave the cabin. We took advantage of everything that you had to offer and had a wonderful stay. We were also pleased that even though we arrived early you allowed us to get our door code and get into the cabin. So thank you for a wonderful vacation. It was our first trip to the Smokey Mountains ad we will definately return and stay in another one of your cabins.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Newlyweds Melissa and Andrew N.”

- Sandra B. P. in Roth's Place, 07/04/2008
“Yes, we certainly enjoyed our time we spent at your lovely cabin, that was the first time my husband and I had went anywhere, just the two of us, in a very very long time, maybe ever, so it was great, your cabin was perfect, we couldn't ask for anything more, how ever I would like information on how to obtain the gas rebate offer that is on your website, once again thank you for your hospitality during our stay.”
- Mary C. in American Heartland, 07/04/2008
“We had a great time there! The house was beautiful, it was very clean, and everything worked fine. We did a lot of cooking there and all the imenities were very good. We all come from Wisconsin where recycling is very big.......we were looking for some kind of recycling bin for the paper, plastics, and aluminum garbage but just ended up putting it with the regular garbage. We ended up leaving some frozen food (pizza, vegetables) and some other stuff that we had extra (all unopened) for the next tenant.....hopefully that was ok. The views were awesome! We had a great time and would come back again.”
- James M. in A Bird House, 07/02/2008
“We had a wonderful time in Gatlinburg! We stayed in the Wolf Run cabin and enjoyed every moment! One thing that was great was that this cabin is in "Downtown Gatlinburg" however, also secluded on a side road. We felt like we were out in the woods; but with a very, very short drive we were on Parkway. The cabin was clean, roomy and the beds were very comfortable. My kids loved the loft bedroom. I would highly recommend this cabin and Baskin Creek Rentals. Everytime I called Baskin Creek with questions they were friendly and quick to answer any concerns that I had. Thank you for the wonderful stay and we are already planning a return vacation for next year! Thanks again, Rhonda ( Collinsville, IL)”
- Rhonda A. in Wolf Run, 06/30/2008
“This was the best vacation we have ever taken. We loved the size and set up of the cabin. The hot tub was wonderful. The location was fantastic. We liked not having to drive up into the mountains to get to the cabin. It was close enough to Gatlinburg to enjoy the city and far enough away that we had peace and seclusion. We would highly recommend staying in this cabin and we look forward to spending more time there in the future.”
- Keith S. in Forever Yours, 06/30/2008
“The cabin was absolutely beautiful and met all of our needs. My only regret was not renting it for more than 2 nights.
The whole process was very easy. All correspondence with Baskin Creek was a good experience. I plan to use Baskin Creek in the future.
This was our year to host the immediate family from El Paso, Tx., Jal, NM and Alberq.NM. There was 13 of us. The cabin was ideal!! Everyone had a great vacation.
Thank you, Baskin Creek.”
- Cheryl D. in A Heaven's Blessing, 06/29/2008
“The cabin was wonderful. It was very clean and comfortable. There were plenty of towels, dishes, soap, and other everyday household needs. We had a great time. When we come back to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge we will definetly rent from you again.
The staff at the office was very knowledgable and helpful when we called and/or stopped by. We loved the express check in so we didn't have to make an extra trip to the actual office.
I'm not sure if this is something that you could change but during our week visit we recieved at least 3-4 calls about credit card interest rates, buying a paper, satelite tv..etc. It was a little distracting. Again, I'm not sure if you are in control of that or not, I'm just relaying our concern.
The gas card voucher is a great idea. It would really make us want to come back and use you again because we were refunded our gas cost to get there.
Thanks. :) :)”
- Ronnie H. in All About Us, 06/29/2008
“We enjoyed our stay very much! It was nice and clean and everyone was very nice to us! We would recommend anyone to stay and would enjoy another stay on our return trip to smoky mountains!

- Kimberly J. in Above It All, 06/26/2008
“Hey we had a fantastic time! Thank you for allowing my family and I to stay in your cabin.
The Hot tub was great our kids loved it and of course we did aswell., The cabin was very clean and neat! put together very nicely, and the rooms were very comfortable , the fire place was nice. The pool down the mountain was huge, the kids loved it. However the blinds in the bedroom need to be replaced because people can see in both rooms we had bought a sheet to put over the window., the bathroom upstairs my daughter only used she loved it, said it was great, the t.v. remote for the living room did not work even with the batteries but was not a problem, the washer and dryer was awsome I hate bringing dirty clothes home. The smokey Mountains was very cool we had never been in tennessee before so it was nice. Gatlinburg was very busy and pigeonforge I really did not enjoy much myself. But we loved it. Again Thank you.
We did forget my son's wallet in the cabin and it sapost to be mailed c.o.d. we are waiting on that to arrive.
Thank you for the stay.”

“My husband and I absolutely loved our cabin and felt so at home there. We will definitely be back and have already recommended Baskins Creek and Swank-a-Rama to our friends and relatives.”

Thank you very much,

- Mindy B. in A Bird House, 06/17/2008
“I absolutely loved the view of this cabin. Our only concern was the drive way. It frightened me when we had to pull out. There was a hole at the top of it that was pretty deep and then with the incline, it just scared me. But as far as the cabin and location; it was wonderful! We had a great view of the moutains, and with the hot tub on the back porch it was a beautiful location! Thank you!”
- Josh T. in Dawns Early Light, 06/15/2008
“We really enjoyed our stay at your cabin. It is spectacular. It was the right size, the right fit, everything. The only improvement that I could think of is adding a ceiling fan in the bedroom. It gets a little toasty in there, and having a fan would help a lot.”
- Matthew E. in John 15:12, 06/13/2008
“WE HAD A WONDERFUL STAY. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS A SLIGHT PROBLEM WAS THE HEAT AND AIR. WHEN THE MAIN FLOOR WAS COMFORTABLE, THE UPSTAIRS WAS TOO HOT AND THE DOWNSTAIRS WAS TOO COLD. WE ONLY SAW ONE THERMOSTAT FOR THE WHOLE CABIN. THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE COULD NOT TOLERATE. WE HAD TWO LAMPS THAT WOULD NOT WORK, BUT THAT IS JUST A MINOR THING. WE DID NOT FEEL THIS WAS MAJOR ENOUGH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT; HOWEVER, HAD YOU CALLED US YOURSELF, WE WOULD HAVE MENTIONED IT TO YOU. WE FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE NICE FOR YOU TO CALL THE DAY AFTER ARRIVAL TO BE SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY.
ALL IN ALL, WE HAD A WONDERFUL TRIP AND REALLY ENJOYED THE CABIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE STAYED IN THIS SAME CABIN SO THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING.
THANKS,
JERRY AND JUDY N.”

You are to be commended for the cleanness that the cabin was in. Everything was very nice.
We hope that we can come back next year.

We had a problem with the air conditioning and you responded immediately. Thank you.
The Cozy Bear is a very nice unit and we would stay there again.”
- Bonnie V. in Cozy Bear, 06/06/2008
“The acomidations were very nice. The trash recepitacles on the front porch could not be secured & a raccon got into the trash of which we had to clean up. A light is needed for the stove. Could not see much when cooking on the stove.
We had a very nice stay.
Next year we may be looking at Ski Mountain area.
This was our third stay with Baskins Creek.”

“Our stay was delightful and enjoyed by all. We only experienced minor issues and they were addressed rapidly upon request. We will definitely be returning.”
- Carolyn G. in Bear Ridge, 06/03/2008
“We always enjoy our stays with you. The office staff was courteous and very helpful, even making some phone calls for us to find out about the community center so we could keep up with our workouts while on vacation. The rooms are always quite clean and comfortable,and this particular unit's kitchen was a nice bonus, and your pricing takes it easy on a tight budget, yet delivers exceptional value. The location is great--close enough to walk around without searching for/paying for parking somewhere. The one thing we did notice this time but had not at our previous stay was a lot of traffic back and forth in front of our unit, mostly during the day when we tried to regenerate after our morning excursions. I imagine it was the locals, eager to avoid the tourist traffic, but it was a bit annoying at times.
Although some of the units have the jacuzzi tubs, ours did not, and after a long day of walking we really wished we had picked a unit with one (or at least one with access to a hot tub)! We will have to consider that when we schedule a return visit--which we most certainly will.”
- Joanna N. in M107, 06/03/2008
“We liked American Spirit. But Swank-a-rama was the best!!! Should have stayed in that one the whole time we were in Tennessee. It was truly awesome. We hope you still have that one available for the next time we plan our vacation. Stick with themes they work!
Thank you so much,
Aaron and Marie”

“We totally enjoyed the cabin we stayed in. It was very well taken care of and felt very much like we were in someone's home. The only suggestions are minor: kleenex in upstairs bedroom; is it possible to get WiFi in that area?
We hope to come back again for a stay maybe in a larger cabin for a small Family reunion.

“The view was beautiful and so is Gatlinburg. We have every intention to return sometime as you can never do everything in a week!!!No one was ready to leave this morning. A few suggestions though, The outside lights only worked sometimes and when we returned at nite, it was very dark and hard to see to get upstairs. The first bedroom leaked at times when we got rain. There was no sink stopper and could have used more trash bags, but other than that---Great great time.
Thank you,
Mary F.”

“This was our second time using Baskins Creek. We last stayed at the Summit and that was fabulous! This time we stayed at Black Bear Lodge simply because we heard that the Summit and Black Bear Lodge were the two of the TOP properties that they had. It was an amazing cabin. We did not want to go out because it was so nice and relaxing there.
There are only two issues I have with the cabin. The first issue is that there are three vertical blinds missing in the master bedroom. We wanted to sleep in but we woke up with the other animals on the mountain when the sun came up. I know, we could have called the office and I am sure that they would have taken care of it, but we kept forgetting. The second issue is one that has been mentioned before ... that frying pan. Scary. Looked like my grandmothers ... the one I remember from childhood. Anyway we think this is one of the best cabins we have ever stayed in with tremendous views and lots of space. We also loved all the care that has been taken in decorating the cabin. Lots and lots of bears. We will definitely be back!”
- David L. in Black Bear Lodge, 05/07/2008
[Vertical blinds and frying pan have been replaced in the Lodge.]
“We just loved this cabin so much that it was hard to leave. We got married on May o3, 08 and our family had the chance to see the cabin too. They are hoping to stay in this cabin too. We are hoping to book this same cabin over the summer. The cabin has all of the ammenities of home and is just beautiful!!”

“My husband and I went to Gatlinburg for our honeymoon & it turned out to be a wonderful week. The cabin was very nice and suited for our needs. It felt like a place we could stay and relax when we weren't in town. We will definitely be back for another stay around Christmas time and for family vacations.
Thank You
Sara A.”

“Dear Sirs:
Our visit was wonderful. The suite was beautiful, very spacious and clean. A home away from home atmosphere. All of the staff members were kind, pleasant and very helpful.
I am planning on visiting at least twice a year to Gatlinburg, and would be more then happy to stay at any of the Baskin Creek accommodation's.
I have already recommend Baskin Creek to several of my friends.
So, I would like to THANK YOU and each and every one of the staff for making our visit so wonderful. And I am looking forward to our next visit.”

“MY FAMILY AND I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AT YOUR CABIN. THE ONLY SUGGESTION I WOULD HAVE FOR YOU IS THE VIEW FROM THE TWO PICTURE WINDOWS IN THE UP STAIRS BATH ROOM, IF THE TREE TOPS COULD BE TRIMMED SO YOU CAN SEE BETTER VIEW OF THE MOUNTAINS,EXSPECIALLY DURNING THE WINTER TIME WHERE YOU COULD SEE THE SNOW ON THE MOUNTAINS WOULD BE SO WONDERFUL. OTHER THAN THAT I WOULD NOT CHANGE A THING.I PLAN ON STAYIN WITH DURNING CHRISTMAS TIME SO ME AND MY FAMILY CAN DO OUR SHOPPING DOWN THERE.

“All About Us was an absolutely beautiful cabin in a very convenient location! The cabin was clean and well decorated. The flat panel tvs and pool table were very nice touches. What a great way to relax on vacation! We definitely want to come back! If there was only one constructive comment to add would be about the hot tub. We are not that familiar with hot tubs but the water seemed a little too cloudy and sides slightly slick feeling. (but this may be the way it is supposed to be perhaps??)
Thank you for a wonderful place at a great price!”

“A BEAUTIFUL HOME!
WE LEFT A NOTE ON THE TABLE WHEN WE LEFT LISTING SOME CONCERNS YOU MAY NEED TO ADDRESS ABOUT THE BUILDING. (i.e. GFI plug, dishwasher, TV locking out, etc.)
WE WILL WANT TO VACATION IN YOUR STATE AGAIN AND WILL BE LOOKING YOU UP WHEN WE DO.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE,
DAVID & JANET J.”

“We did enjoy our stay. The cabin was better than expected the pictures on the website dont even do it justice. I way overpacked because we have never stayed in a cabin such as this and I wasnt sure what it included. Only suggestion is that more detail about what appliances are available and that the washer and dryer are there and that it has porch furniture there would be helpful to someone else first time user. Oh and the beds are great ! We wanted to pack the mattress up and bring it home.
Thanks, Carol L.”
- Carol L. in Angel Walk, 04/23/2008
“My husband and I really had a wonderful time. We are both in the medical feild and spend most of our time taking care of others. This was a great treat for the both of us, to just relax and focus on each other. The cabin was great and had everything that was needed for our stay. My husband really enjoyed the hot tub. We will be back in June, this time with the children.
Thanks,
Eric and Natasha L.

“We just returned from 4 days 3 nights at the Big Orange Country Cabin. Our family had a wonderful time. Everything was great from service of rental company to the home its self. The cabin was well stocked we needed nothing. We have stayed at other companys and Baskins Creek is an excellant company. We will be back. Thank you for our wonderful vacation.”
- JD D. in Big Orange Country, 04/21/2008
“We had a wonderful time while staying at the Nestle Inn. It was for our 17th anniversary and a much needed break from the real world. I can not say enough about how clean and comfortable the room was. Everyone at the Nestle Inn was very accomodating and the nicest staff at any motel we have ever stayed at. From the time we checked in until we checked out, we always felt welcome to be there. The only thing we wish we had there was a small microwave because we both wanted some popcorn one night, but we had Karmelcorn instead, so it all worked out.
Thank you again,
Lyle and Janice G.”

“I just wanted to let the people of Baskins Creek rentals know that we enjoyed our stay at the Angel's Landing Chalet this last week. Everything was clean and the pictures were exactly the same as we arrived. The maintenence was propmt our outside porch light was burnt out and it made the stairs a little difficult to climb but i called and they fixed it right away. We will deffinatly rent again. Thanks for help making our vacation great!

“We have stayed in a number of places in the Gatlinburg area and this one has been the best. We loved
the well equipped kitchen and the spacious rooms. Everything was very
clean and well maintained.
We noticed the air hockey table (pictured on your site) was broken and
in pieces in the laundry room, but we didn't find the pool table. The
directions to the cabin need to be updated/changed. We couldn't find a
Sav-a-Lot. Maybe it has closed...
We will recommend you to our friends and look forward to visiting again!”
- Todd A. in Angel Walk, 04/19/2008
[Websites have been updated and the air hockey table has been fixed / replaced.]
“this place was perfect..we could have not asked for anything better,our children had a blast..we will be back..thanks for everything..”
- Belinda H. in Big Orange Country, 04/18/2008
“The chalet was beautifully furnished.
Especially liked the ease of automated check-in!
A much nicer experience than last year.
Thank you.”
- Thomas W. in Beyond Expectations, 04/17/2008
“We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was a great location and perfect size for our family. We have a small child and really liked the fact that it did not have a huge drop off but was still a nice wooded area view. It was way better to stay in our own cabin instead of a hotel like our last stay. We loved being able to use a door code instead of having to check-in somewhere. That is great! We would recommend this cabin and my only negative comment was that it could have been a little cleaner. For the most part it was, it was just very dusty. My little one is allergic to dust so that is a big thing with us. (under the bed was especially bad) That was the only thing needing improvement and everything else was great. We will definitely use Baskins Creek again and look forward to future stays. Thanks!

“I vacation every year, usually in a hotel. Now that I've spent a few days at Heaven's Retreat in Gatlinburg, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay anywhere else. The only thing I didn't like was packing up to go home!”

“WE ENJOYED OUR STAY AND LOOK FORWARD TO COMING BACK! WE WERE CELEBRATING OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY - THE ONLY COMPLAINT/COMMENT THAT WE HAD ON A NEGATIVE SIDE WAS THE CONSTRUCTION GOING ON RIGHT BELOW OUR CABIN-THAT KINDOF TOOK THE QUIET ASPECT AWAY - ALSO, ON YOUR WEBSITE- YOU REALLY NEED TO UPDATE THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TV'S -SIZE OF BED - THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE A STEREO CD/CASSETTE PLAYER AND DVD'S AND VCRS-WE COULD'VE BROUGHT ALONG MOVIES AND/OR CD'S -OTHER THAN THAT-IT WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! KEEP US UPDATED AND INFORMED ON ANY SPECIALS YOU MAY HAVE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR - WE'RE ONLY A 4 HOUR DRIVE AWAY - SO LAST MINUTE DEALS ARE ALRIGHT WITH US!
THANKS AGAIN

“We enjoyed our stay and we will definitely use your services again. This was our second stay in Village Stream Condos (we were 2 door up the last time). The condo was well equipped, clean and comfortable. It would be nice to have the cable TV in the bedroom, though.”
- Larry J. in Falling Waters - Village Str 168, 04/09/2008
[Falling Waters is a great unit glad you enjoyed it. Mgr.]
“The cabin was very nice, very large, and very clean. We had a great time while we were there. Plan on coming back next year!”
- Donna S. P. in King of the Mountain, 04/09/2008
“We really enjoyed our recent stay at Twist and Shout. It was in a great location with breathtaking views. We were concerned about finding the place because of an earlier review, but we followed the provided directions carefully and arrived without incident.
I do have a few recommendations:]
1) I would list with the cabin amenities that it does have a DVD, washer and dryer, charcoal grill, 3 decks and internet access. These are excellent qualities that we were thrilled to discover on our arrival.
I had called and specifically asked about the grill and dvd, so I knew about the grill, but the cabin is not listed with all the other amenities.
2) We were also thrilled that there was a creek near enough to hear on the decks and in the house with the windows open.
3) There was a lot of trash below the cabin in the woods. This is probably the only real complaint we had. I realize the steep incline behind the cabin makes clean-up difficult, but it is distracting to see the trash, broken bottles and left-over halloween scarecrow below.
Thanks for a memorable vacation and we are already planning our next couples weekend.”
- slong170@comcast.net in Twist & Shout, 04/08/2008
[Thanks for your kind remarks we have added the creek to the web site and apologize for the trash. Maintenance has been sent to pick it up. It always disturbs us locals to find some guests have so little regard for our beautiful mountains and feel it is ok to toss their trash over the balconies instead of using trash cans provided. Mgr]
“The house was in great condition, and we were able to stay there very comfortably. We loved that there were 3 1/2 bathrooms! The kitchen table was large enough for all to gather around. There weren't as many kitchen supplies and utensils available as we had hoped (based on comparisons to other cabins we've rented), but we appreciated what was there. The unit was clean and orderly. We were disappointed to see that the game table was broken and disassembled when we arrived. We had hoped that the kids would keep busy playing air hockey. The table was repaired on Monday without any notice to us that someone would be entering the property, and it was on the day before we checked out. However, we were able to enjoy it for a few hours. All in all, it was a great house to stay in. The road where the house is located is very narrow and dangerous. Fortunately, we never had any issues with traveling up and down the road, although it has several blind spots.
Thanks for offering such a great property! This was our 2nd stay with Baskins Creek Rentals, and it was even smoother this time. The automatic check-in process is fabulous! We appreciated the call on our arrival date which gave us our door code and informed us that the unit was ready. In all the rushing around trying to get ready for our departure, it was nice to know that we didn't have to remember one more thing. Thanks!”
- jlderucki@charter.net in Angel Walk, 04/08/2008
[Thanks for your great comments.
Many of our country roads are very narrow and we all use great caution when driving them. When you live here you get use to them but they can be quit scary for visitors. Just go slow and stay well on your side. Mgr]
“We enjoyed our stay. The condo was very clean.
You should check to be sure that the light bulbs are all replaced when needed, and that all bathroom fixtures(faucets) are tight.
If you could give information on using the long distance feature on the phone at the same time that you give out the door code, that would be helpful.
Thank you for a nice stay.”

“Our stay at Cherokee cabin 3/29-4/5 08
Thank you all so much for making our first cabin rental the most memorable experience we've had as a couple in our 13 year marriage.All we had to do was show up and enjoy!Every step in the process was so simple and your staff was great!There were absolutely no discrepancies in what was promised and what we received. Any and all questions[and I had many] were answered and explained in a prompt and courteous manner.We can't wait to come back again! Thanks for everything! Tony & Marilyn B.”
- Tony & Marilyn B. in Cherokee, 04/06/2008
[Thank you for your kind remarks we are truly pleased you enjoyed your vacation and our staff cares a lot about your stay; they're just doing their job. Mgr]
“We enjoyed our stay very much. The cabin was lovely. We had a wonderful get-a-way for two, and plan to return to the area in the future with some more of the family. When we do so, we will very likely use your service again.
Although we were satisfied, things were not perfect (things rarely are), so I do want to mention a few points.
--We had some trouble with the hot tub. It was way too hot but the themometer said it was only 62 degrees. We followed the directions posted on the wall but nothing seemed to work. We called the office and reported the trouble. The woman I spoke with said she would call maintanance to find out if it was something I could fix or if they needed to come out. She said someone would be there either that night or first thing in the morning at the latest but that she would call me back either way to let me know what they said. She never called back. About 10 am the next morning I called the office again to find out if they were coming since we wanted to head out for some activities. I was told they would be out that morning. We came back to the cabin about 2pm and nothing had been done. I called again and talked to Brian who said maintanance would be there in no more than two hours. I called back about 4:30 and Brain said it would be another hour or two, but that they would come that night. A nice young man did come out soon after that and fixed the tub. It didn't take two minutes to turn the temp down and empty some of the water, which we could probably have done ourselved if we had been told to do so. He told us not to pay any attention to the themometer; that they never work. That means the posted intructions are worthless. The problem did get fixed and we were able to use the hot tub, but it seems like a lot of time was wasted.
--For the most part the cabin was very clean and nice, but I had to move the bed out to retrieve the TV remote and it was unbelievably filthy under that bed.
--Your emailed instructions said that check-out was 10am but there is a sign above the kitchen sink that says check-out is 11am.
--Your web site says you have offices in both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Your phone tree gives directions to a Pigeon Forge office. But the person I talked to on the phone before we left Indiana said that you have never had Pigeon Forge office and that I had to either check in by phone or come into Gatlinburg. I am still confused by this one!
--It would be nice to have an extra trash bag or two in the cabin. By the second day our little kitchen waste basket was full but we could not find another trash bag to put in it. We had to dump the trash into the outside trash can without it being closed in a bag. No animals got into it, but I was afraid they might. There were a couple extra bathroom-sized bags in the bathroom waste basket but I did not realize that until I took out the trash before checking out.
I don't want you to think we were unhappy, I don't expect perfection, but you can't fix problems if you don't know they exist! So that you don't think I am an old grouch, I am going to comment on a few things that went right!
--Your web site is very easy to maneuver. I liked the fact that I could look at a description of a unit and see the availability and price of that unit all on the same page. This is why you got my business and not one of the other dozens of cabin rental companies with websites.
--It was our first time in the area but we had no trouble finding the cabin, your directions were perfect.
--It was so nice not to have to go all the way into Gatlinburg to check in and check out. Using a coded lock is a great idea.
--The cabin was beautiful! It was wonderfully decorated and the kitchen well stocked. There were appliances and kitchen gadgets that I would not have expected to be there, ie electric can opener, blender, grater, nice dishes and flatware (not just the cheep stuff or miss-matched).
--The guest books are a wonderful little plus. I had a great time reading what past guest had written. Many had returned to that very same cabin many times. Some spent their honeymoons there and then returned for anniversaries. Some had their love re-kindled during their stay. Reading their stories made me feel like I am part of the "Heaven Sent Family". Even my boyfriend enjoyed reading some of them and he is the worlds most unromantic person!
Finally, all of your staff that I have talked to on the phone and the one and only staff person I met in person, were pleasant, polite, and professional. Granted, some were more helpful than others, but all were courtious.
Assuming finances will allow, and Royce's health holds out long enough, we will be back for another visit. It was a wonderful vacation. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ramona and Royce”
- Ramona Coonrod and Royce S. in Heaven Sent, 04/04/2008
[We certainly apologize for the length of time it took maintenance to reach you. You certainly did the right thing and continued to call back. Also housekeeping generally leaves additional trash bags in the bottom of each trash can next time feel free to call ad request anything that you need. We have sent housekeeping out to clean under all the furniture. Thanks for your constructive comments and we certainly hope you are able to return.]
“Rebecca Barnes My husband and I stayed in Matthew 11:28 this past weekend and absolutely loved it! It was a great getaway for us for our 5th anniversary! Very cozy, and relaxing for us. We enjoyed the fireplace, with the timer.”

“MY WIFE AND I WERE CELEBRATING OUR 24 YEAR ANNIVERSARY, WE THOUGHT THE CABIN WAS AWSOME THE VIEW FROM THE HOT TUB WAS SO BEAUTIFUL, WE JUST RELAXED AND ENJOYED OUR CABIN. WE WOULD OF LIKED TO OF CHECKED IN A LITTLE EARLIER, MAYBE THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER, ALSO DRICTIONS COULD BE JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER WE FOUND A QUICKER ROUTE TO OUR CABIN. BUT IT WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL 3 DAYS WE WILL BE BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND HOPE TO GET THE SOUTHERN PLEASURE CABIN AGAIN. OH YEA THE FLAT SCREEN TVS WERE GREAT AND THE POOL TABLE!!!!!!!!”

“Beyond Expectations and Black Bear Lodge
Both cabins were very nice. Beyond Expectations: loved the open floor plan, nice pool table, beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms, and nice living room area. Some of the pans were really old and in poor condition (the skillet).
We moved to the Black Bear cabin because additional family members were joining us - I was a little disappointed with the size - for 8 of us it was a bit cozy. The downstairs bathroom cabinet drawers were broken and unable to use. Lighting was dark in the downstairs and the bedrooms were smaller than I expected. Otherwise, we loved the view and the sunroom was great. This cabin had a few more pans and had videos and games which was nice.
Our family enjoyed our trip and our stay very much. A few extra amenities such as garbage bags, dishwasher soap, etc... would have been nice. We would recommend your rental company to others - very nice overall.”
- Deb O' Brien-Goedde in Beyond Expectations, 03/31/2008
[Thanks for letting us know about the pots and pans they were replaced with new ones today. On your next stay always feel free to call the front desk for any issues like this. Also Maintenance has taken care of fixing the Draws at Black Bear Lodge and we agree the view from the sunroom is awesome. Next time please feel free to call the front desk for any needs such as trash bags, soap etc.]

again but this time we would like to stay in those condos next to the townhouses could you
e-mail me some prices on those please thanks jeffery c.”

“Great trip! This made our third trip to the Smoky Mountains and it was my favorite accomodation so far. The first trip we spent a week at a hotel in Gatlinburg, it was accually the owners apartment on the top floor. It was very nice and we had plenty of room but the view was just ok. The second trip we had a beautiful cabin but it was located about 12 miles from Gatlinburg which at the time did not seem to be a big deal. This trip I loved the cabin, location and view! I especially enjoyed the 3 levels with 2 children and my mother-in-law we had plenty of room to spread out and have some privacy. The unit had everything we needed with the exception of 3 big bees in the upstairs bedroom. (Time of year)
The accomodations were great and should we decide to visit I would be very happy to contact Baskins Creek to stay. Thanks so much!
Have a great summer.”
- Kay L. in Country Charm, 03/28/2008
“Our stay at the chalet was great. We like the location since most of the time we were in Pigeon Forge. The only suggestions we have was that we needed extra blankets since we only had the quilts on the beds. When it's in the 20's & 30's it gets quite chilly in the evenings. Also, the pillows were quite flat and we had to go buy others. But other than that all in all would recommend staying there to others.
Thank you
Kim Lynch”
- Paul L. in Abundantly Blessed, 03/28/2008
[Next time please call the front desk housekeeping would gladly have brought you new pillows and brought you blankets should there not be any in the closets.]
“The cabin was wonderful as usual and you can count on my family and I renting from you every time we come to Gatlinburg(twice a year)
We introduced our friends to your cabins on this past stay and they will be staying with you as well.
Thanks for a wonderful and beautiful stay.
Stephen C. and family”

“Your Inn was quite nice. It was a nice, remote location from the main strip of Gatlinburg. The front desk workers were kind and helpful. The room was nice, decently kept, and perfectly nice for a week long stay.”
- Michale R. in M110, 03/23/2008
“We loved the cabin, and we really enjoyed our stay. Here are the items we loved:
1. Washer/dryer - came in handy after a wet hike.
2. Gas logs - loved that we did not have to fool with making a fire.
3. King beds - our 2 boys shared this bed and there was plenty of room.
4. Dishwasher - many cabins we have stayed in before did not have one.
5. Jacuzzi - we've only had indoor ones.
6. Pool Table - provided many hours of fun.
7. Movies - we watched several of the provided movies.
Here are the items that we suggest for improvement:
1. Better instructions on how to use the hot tub. We had a hard time figuring out how to turn it off.
2. Separate Direct TV received in master bedroom to allow someone to watch TV at night in bed as others are still watching TV in the living room or ability to play DVDs in
3. Large pan to cook items like soup or boil pasta or corn.”
- Stephanie C. in A Little Something Special, 03/20/2008
[Jacuzzi's are inside and most hot tubs are outside. We do have a few units with indoor hot tubs. Mgmt. We passed your suggestions on to the owners.]
“It was an older cabin but very nice.The only thing I didn't like is having to walk around to the jacuzzi but otherwise it was great.”

“We loved it. It was very clean and neat. The hot tub was also clean and already hot for us. We will stay in one of your cabins again. The cabin was beautiful. The area was also nice and quite. We enjoyed our stay very much. We are already trying to plan another trip for the summer. Thank you for providing a wonderful place for us to stay. We would not have enjoyed our trip as much if we had stayed in a hotel or some where else.”
- Brittney D. in Little Log Castle, 03/17/2008
“The room was very clean, and was keeped cleaned by house keeping.. very comfortable room and the bed was also .. good size bath.. good location.. we will be coming back as we have done in the past, or maybe one of your cabins , again .. we have stayed in both before..... thanks T.G.”

[We love returning guests; come stay and see why people just keep comming back; Location, location,location]
“I was very pleased with the cabin. It had everything that I needed and then some. I received a phone call about 2 hours prior to 4pm giving me my door code, which was very courteous. The person who made my reservation and the one who called to give me my code were both very pleasant and helpful. I especially like the fact that you do not have to go somewhere to officially check in and you do not have to keep up with a key. I would definitely use your services again. Thanks!”
- Amelia P. in American Charm, 03/06/2008
“We had a delightful weekend and the view from Bear Ridge was truly spectacular. We found the accomodations to be a good fit for our group and since the weather was wonderful we made great use of all the decks and hot tub.
The only thing I might suggest is to add some type of baking sheet or pizza pad and a couple of sharp knives, other than that we found most every thing that we needed.
The ease of check-in via the telephone was great. We took your advise and made a preliminary trip up the mountain to locate our cabin so that when it was time to check in we knew exactly where we were going.
Thank you for a very enjoyable weekend and we will keep you in mind for our next trip.
sincerely,
The M. and T.”
- Michael M. in Bear Ridge, 03/06/2008
[Thanks for letting us know about missing kithen items housekeeping has added them.]
“Everything was good except the checkout time was a little early and the check in time a little late.”
- Brett S. in Wolf Run, 03/05/2008
[Next time feel free to ask for a later check out time, unless we have an arrival we will be happy to accommodate. Call prior to arrival , often times the cabin may be ready and you can check in as early as 1:00 PM]
“Our recent stay at the townhouse was extremely pleasant. We felt so at home we did not want to leave. The only suggestion I would make is for you guys to put cleaning tools "broom & dust pan" in the townhouse for cleaning purposes during the stay. Other than that it was a great stay, my girlfriend liked it so well she wants to come back for her birthday instead of going to Disney World!!”

- robert h. in American Charm, 03/03/2008
[Thank you for your comments we will doulble check our directions and let the owner know about the hot tub.]
“we totally enjoyed the whole trip. the cabin was very easy to find and was amazing. we had a great time. thank you so much. we will be back.
Amelia Lang”
- Amelia L. in Ann's Place, 03/02/2008
“Overall we really enjoyed it. There are a few things that would have made it an outstanding stay. Speaking from past experience with my own high speed internet, I think you should have a dedicated cable just for the internet. When splitting the incoming signal you will never be able to get online. I had to disconnect the incoming cable and plug it directly into the modem to be able to get online.
We did not realize until our last night that the hot water heater was either slow in recovering from one previous bath or that it possibly does not have the capacity to fill the tub with enough hot water to cover the jacuzzi jets to be able to enjoy that feature of the cabin.
The internet is not a problem for me but I will definitely be checking on the hot water heater before I rent another cabin from anyone.”

[We have notified the cabins owner and he will look into a new larger water heater.]
“The cabin was nice and cozy. We enjoyed our stay there and would for sure stay there again.
Thanks alot!”

“We loved it ! It was very clean & quite. It was not too far away from town either. One thing that we needed though was more bath towels and wash cloths. Having the hot tub and jacuzzie, we really needed more towels and washcloths. But, we made do with what we had. Other than that, it was wonderful. We were celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary. What an anniversary it was! One we will talk about for years to come. Thanks!”

“We really had a wonderful time over the weekend vacationing with Baskin Creek. The cabin was nice, neat and very clean. It was very comfortable. It felt like a home away from home.... Thanks again for the wonderful trip that you provided us with.”

“WE LOVED THE CABIN!!! THE ONLY ISSUE WITHT HE CABIN WAS THAT THE FAUCET IN THE UPSTAIRS BATH ON THE HOT WATER WOULD NOT SHUT OFF THIS VACATION WAS A MOMS GETAWAY. THIS CABIN OFFERED US TIME AWAY FOR RELAXATION, FUN AND SHOPPING. THIS CABIN WAS UP TO OUR EXPECTATIONS.
WE LIKE THE FUN ATMOSPHERE OF THIS CABIN. IT ALLOWED US TO CUT LOSE AND HAVE FUN FUN FUN !!! THE ONLY THING IT WAS LACKING WAS INTERNET......... GOOD SUGGESTION TO ADD FOR THE UPSTAIRS LOFT SITTING AREA.
WE GET AWAY AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR AND TRY FOR TWICE. WE WILL BE COMING BACK TO THE AREA AND WOULD LOVE TO STAY WITH YALL AGAIN.
THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP IN MAKING OUR VACATION STRESS FREE”

“We had a great time. This was our second stay with Baskins Creek and we've been pleased with both of our cabin rentals. We will return.”
- Brandon T. in Lovers Lair, 02/19/2008
“Accommodations were great we stayed in your home (twist and shout) it was a nice home, Check in and out was easy and nice, not having to make stops. Had a hard time finding place maybe directions could have been better, we need to learn to follow them not sure which. We called for help everyone was helpfull, thank you, if we come to the Smokies we will think of you first.”
- Kathleen C. in Twist & Shout, 02/19/2008
“THE CABIN WAS EVERYTHING THAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ME AND MY FAMILY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.”
- Charmaine J. in Angel Walk, 02/16/2008
“We absolutely loved it! There was a beautiful view and the cabin was nice as well. Only concern was that the floors in the living room were dirty under the furniture and around the kitchen table. There were also several wasps in the master bedroom that we could not get rid of. Other than those minor concerns it was great. We will definitely be back.”
- Hannah O. in A Bird House, 02/13/2008
“We really loved the cabin. It was nice and clean and very comfortable. The only problem we had was the Dish Network service was cut off our last day there, like the bill had not been paid. It was a small inconvenience but that was our only complaint. We really did love everything about it and plan on staying with you guys again.”
- Justin C. in American Dream, 02/11/2008
“This place was great, the best one we stayed in yet.”
- Darlene F. in Swank-A-Rama, 02/09/2008
“We had a wonderful time. The view from the cabin was breath taking. You guys should include the view from the back deck over looking the mountains in your show of the cabin for booking. It was a wonderful surprise, but it could be a good selling point for others looking for a cabin to stay in.
We would be very intrested in staying there next year when we come. We come every year in February with our family. Which includes 12 of us. Each couple had their own bathroom also which was also great. We will recomend you to all our friends, espically the larger groups.”
- Arlene L. in Buckhorn Lodge, 02/05/2008
[Actually there are numerious picture of the views from Buckhorn Lodge on their website and we agree they are amazing views.]
“I enjoyed our stay at American Spirit, I just wished we could of stayed longer!! As soon as we walked in I immediately suggested staying for a while. Everything was so beautiful, the cabin itself, the view, everything. I would love to come back, only thing I was scared of was this time of year while we were traveling up the mountains with bad weather. I would consider staying here again.”
- Amber H. in American Spirit, 02/04/2008
“We have stayed at your inn and also in one of the cabins every time we have come to Gatlinburg. We have always enjoyed our stay and also the close walk to the main street in Gatlinburg. Thank you for a great trip this time.”
- Jenny K. in M112, 01/23/2008
“We had a fantastic experience & would love to come back!”
- Lindsey H. in A Bird House, 01/22/2008
“There are a few kitchen utensils that I would reccomend providing such as: pizza pan, pizza cutter, or a cookie sheet. Unfortunately, we had to leave a day early, forfeiting our 'free' night! We do want to return! We had a lovely, relaxing time and it really was an "Awesome View"! Thank you for all that you provide to make everyone feel so welcome!”
- Karen D. in Awesome View, 01/22/2008
“For the price we paid we wish our room would have had a mircowave and hair dryer like most hotel rooms, but overall we were very pleased with our stay and cant wait to come back.”
- Ashley H. in M115, 01/22/2008
“We had a wonderful experience. The cabin was beautiful, spacious without a lot of clutter. It more than met out expectations. In fact I plan on trying to make reservations for Thanksgiving soon. Thank you for a great vacation. We made some great memories.”
- Fran S. in Angel Walk, 01/22/2008
“We had a wonderful stay on New Years Eve. Nice room, loved the porch swing and the fire place. Convenient to down town yet back out of the crowd. Very good customer service, polite and efficient staff. Will stay there again and have recommended you to friends and family. Have also posted good reviews on the trip advisor.”
- Lisa S. in M206, 01/13/2008
“We enjoyed our stay with you very much. We came into town on Friday and got married on Saturday. Everything about the cabin was better than we expected. It was very clean and we loved it!!!!
Your staff was very professional and helpful, too. We will definitely stay with you again!!!!
Do you have any vacancies for the upcoming car show in the fall of 2008???? I would appreciate it if you could let me know!!! Thanks again for the wonderful experience!!!”
- Lydia G. in Tranquility, 01/02/2008
“We really enjoyed our stay, the Townhouse had everything we needed. A lot of room, good kitchen space and living space. We hope to be there again, same time same place next year.”
- Rita M. in T304, 12/20/2007
“We stayed in Lovers Lair over the weekend (12/6-12/9) and really enjoyed it. The hot tub cover needs replacing or repairing, we didn't get in it because of the hole in the top (we're a bit germ-a-phobic, I wiped down the jacuzzi with clorox wipes lol). The game room was fun. My only real complaint, and it isn't even that big of one, the mattress could either use a good flip or replacing. It's worn in the middle and made my husband's back hurt and my neck hurt. Other than that, great decor, beautiful surroundings. We hated to leave, we wanted to stay and relax longer!! Thank you for making our honeymoon so great”
- Amanda E. in Lovers Lair, 12/10/2007
[A new hot tub cover was ordered and the mattress replaced shortly after guest emailed us. - Manager]
“We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin and it was so clean and cozy. I greatly appreciated the express check-in and all staff that I have interacted with have been super helpful and friendly. The only thing I saw needing improvement was the pool table. The pool table was in poor shape and that greatly impacted the games being played on it.”
- Heather H., 12/10/2007
“My wife and I had a great time, we have NO complaints and had NO problems. The staff was very friendly. The only suggestion I have is for you to send out a e-mail to previous guest on specials that you are running on the rooms and cabins and also different events that are going on in the smokey mountain area... my wife are looking forward to our next vacation... Thanks again.”
- Johnny F., 12/05/2007
“We really appreciated our stay in "The Breeze" cabin. It was nice to have simple things like paper towels and toilet paper. The cabin was great. There were 4 adults and 2 toddlers that stayed during our visit. We did find a couple things that were not as we thought they were going to be- 1) the instructions for getting in the door stated that there were 2 doorknobs (there was only one), 2) we were supposed to call on the phone in the cabin when we arrived and when we were checking out (the phone did not work). We tried the fireplace, but decided that the heat upstairs from the fire shut down the thermostat, so that the downstairs was cold. All in all, we really enjoyed our visit- thanks!!!”
- Nancy P. in A Breeze, 12/04/2007
“Our stay was great, don't know of anything that would have made it any better. Will recommend your cabins to anyone that asks about our stay. Thank you for providing us with a relaxing weekend.”
- Jason B. in Sweet Surrender - Village Str 165, 12/04/2007
“I wanted to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your King of the Mountain chalet. It was very nice and accommodated my group of 16 very nicely. We loved the fact that it was so spread out so we didn't feel like we were on top of each other. We had a great time and will probably come back again every year. However, we were very disappointed to see that there was a cabin being built right in the front door. I think that will cut out the beauty of King of the Mountain being tucked away by itself. That was another perk about the cabin. We felt like we were out in the woods with no one else around.
The only suggestion I might give would be to put an ice machine in the bar area downstairs. It seemed that with 16 people the ice maker in the refrigerator was not producing enough ice so we were constantly running out of ice. We'll just know next time to bring bags of ice.
Again, can't say enough about how perfect the cabin fit my group. I'm sure we'll be back.”
- Tiffany D. in King of the Mountain, 12/04/2007
“We’ve been to Gatlinburg several times but this trip, and this cabin, took the cake. We were so comfortable here; it felt just like home. We were so excited to see the Christmas tree and decorations! The whole place is fantastic. Thanks for everything!
C. Family”
- C. Family in A Bear's Paradise, 12/01/2007
“We’ve found our “home away from home”! There was plenty of room for the 17 years old boys to have their “space”, but also a comfy, homey atmosphere were we enjoyed time spent playing games and relaxing as a family. May everyone who stays here be as blessed as we were? God Bless U
Don, Amy, John and Derek”
- Don, Amy, John and Derek in A Bear's Paradise, 04/01/2007
“This place is beautiful and has a cozy feel. We came here to get married and it’s been wonderful vacation and honeymoon. All of our guest came to the wedding partied with us every night here. Thanks you for building a beautiful place and making my first experience in Gatlinburg, TN a memorable moment.
Amy and Damon”
