Cozy Mountain Cabins

This cabin is really dated. I guess you get what you pay for. Pee was on the seat on the bathroom cabin, rust on the vent in the bathroom. The chandelier is really dated look like something from the 1970s. Washer has black mold my anniversary is ruined. The shower looks like an outdoor potty or a cruise ship shower. The netted tub is dated so disappointed.

This was our first time staying in Anita’s Cozy Mountain Cabins. While the views were absolutely breathtaking, we immediately noticed several issues with the cabin that dampened our experience. On our first night, we were in the hot tub when a bear walked up to the porch, which was both fascinating and a little nerve-wracking. We actually saw a bear almost every morning during our stay, and seeing the local wildlife was one of the highlights of our trip. However, the cabin itself had many problems. When we arrived with groceries, we discovered that the pantry was dirty and filled with loose rocks falling from the fireplace. We soon realized that this was where bats were entering the cabin, as we found them flying around the living room at night. This made it difficult to sleep, as we had to check the rooms every evening to ensure no bats were inside. Unfortunately, Anita seemed unconcerned when we mentioned these issues. The “Dancing Bear Cabin” also had numerous maintenance problems. Instead of repairing broken items, the owner left typed notes explaining how to use them despite the damage—for example, instructions for flushing a toilet with a broken handle or locking a door with a faulty knob. The water pressure was extremely poor, making it impossible for two people to shower at the same time. Also, the lighting in the bathrooms were terrible because the lighting fixtures are installed upside down. The beds were uncomfortably hard, and I had to purchase a mattress topper just to sleep, which Anita seemed to take issue with. The washing machine smelled like mold, and the dryer made loud clanking noises that made it impossible to run overnight. The pool table had holes in the pockets, causing balls to fall onto the floor. Overall, it felt like we were paying a premium price for a property where very little is reinvested in maintenance. The outdoor areas were also neglected. The windows were dirty, cobwebs covered the porch, and the patio furniture was so filthy that it left stains on our clothes. My husband always carries a large, unopened bag of dog food in our truck for feeding strays. On our way home, we had far more items to pack than we did when arriving, and we couldn’t even close the truck bed cover with the dog food inside. Since the outdoor garbage bins were already full, we decided to empty the dog food at the end of the driveway, away from the house. We had no intention of attracting bears. We assumed that some wildlife might eat it, but it was simply a practical decision to free up space—not to lure animals onto the property. Later, I received a rude text message from Anita, and she even posted insulting comments about me on her Facebook, calling me “stupid” or "you can't fix stupid" over the dog food incident. This behavior was extremely unprofessional and left us with a very negative impression of the host. I had already left a decent review on of the cabin on VRBO because it is beautiful in spite of the flaws but dealing with the owner is a nightmare. Apparently others have had a similar experience with her. In short, the scenery is beautiful, but the cabin is poorly maintained, and the host’s attitude is unwelcoming. For the price, we expected a far better experience.

My wife and i came to Tennessee for our anniversary, I booked a different cabin thru VRBO that tuned out horrible, and was stuck with no where to stay. I found cozy mountain cabins and called Anita. She had a cancellation and got us right in. We got to the cabin and It was Amazing, everything I could have dream of and some. Everything here is top notch, clean and stocked. Don't make the mistake of going anywhere other then a cozy mountain cabin rental. This is a luxury cabin for a great price. And the owner is absolutely amazing to deal with.

First off you can stay anywhere but you want to stay somewhere that you have good communication with company. Anita is a phenomenal person and takes care of you as well all your needs. Un expected snow doesn’t slow her down. The cabin is awesome! Secluded and just what we needed. Will definitely be back.

Anita is extremely unprofessional and not committed to the customer. We've been here 2 times previously and never had issues, but this year was different and ruined our future relationship with her as a customer. We were told we were over capacity for people and vehicles, but in her contract it states different. On the phone we were talked down to, asked if our children were potential problems and could be a danger to her property which is extremely unnecessary and made us uncomfortable. Watching us on her cameras and threatened to check on us. After 11 hour car ride we were threatened to leave the property and refusal of a refund. We were told 10 adults were too many even though on her website it states 10 adults are allowed, but when money came into the picture her story changed as more than 10 people were allowed. She asked for more money and threatened more charges per the contract. It's a shame this beautiful home has a tyrannical owner. I suggest avoiding her and her listing's on vrbo. edit to response: Saying we did not get what we wanted shows your character in full. On your agreement you can choose 10 adults and 6 children. We were forced to pay or forced to leave so yes we did leave because you gave us no choice and were extremely rude and unprofessional. If you are so worried about your home, it's simple. Don't rent it being this way. Good facts and truth there Anita

This would have been our second time staying with Anita. Due to the hurricane and lots of damage to the area the cabin we had booked isn't able to be stayed in. The professionalism that she showed and the genuine apology she gave for something out of everyone's control was as good as you could ask for. She put us ahead of herself throughout solving the dilemma. I could ask for a better experience!

Anita is an absolute nightmare to work with. She made me and family feel extremely unsafe and uncomfortable. She took advantage of us, and shouldn’t be able to operate rentals. Get a better attitude, or get a new job.

This cabin was the best I have ever stayed at. The location was unbelievable and it’s literally the best view you could imagine. You are absolutely secluded and away from everything but only a few moments from shopping or food. We had the absolute most wonderful host we could’ve ever hope for who made sure that everything was perfect and it absolutely was I just happened to stumble across this property and it’s one we will go back to each and every year the lady that runs the cabin will make sure your time is exactly how you want it there we had so many different questions all over the place and she would not just answer them but make sure that you got what you needed. The only thing I can say is rent this cabin!!
