Room for improvement.


Had a great time and will definitely come back, however there were issues.
1) The booking process is kind of slow : you book the cabin, then a day later you get an email saying you are good to go, then a day later you are asked to verify payment and ID, then a day later you receive another email with exact address and door code. I'm sure it can all be done in one transaction.

2) The company asks you to not use GPS to get there and this is solid advice, however the address posted on the side of the cabin fence (Grant Rd) was different from the address given by the company (Emerald Lane) which adds to the confusion. (Especially if you drive in late in the evening from out of State).

3) The fire place in the great room had a 15 minute timer : so fire went out every 15 minutes and someone had to get up and restart the timer : so if you are planning a cozy evening, that is out ! A 2 hr timer would be an improvement.

4) The power was lost for 26 hours due to weather : and that has absolutely nothing to do with the company and they are absolutely not to blame, BUT since it appears (from reviews in the past) that this is a common occurrence, maybe having some candles or flashlights available would be nice. And item number 3 above, now has a whole different meaning : no power means no heat, and the gas fireplace 15 min timer just encourages a tirade of bad words.

We are more experienced now and will do better on the next visit.

We have stayed in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area many times, and this was hands down the best lodging and location we have had! We are hoping to be able to come back in June 2025:) I do wish that we had better internet though.

This cabin is incredible, we loved the decor and appreciated having 2 master bedrooms and the big screen TV on the back porch with the fire pit was just awesome! Very relaxing to be on the river like that and my grandson loved playing the video games. The only thing we didn't use was the popcorn maker but we hope to check that out when we get a chance to rent this unit again. Hopefully sooner, rather than later as my husband wants to rent this cabin again soon, thanks!

We really enjoyed our stay, I would definitely come again. I have 2 suggestions: The outdoor lighting: out front none of the lawn lights work and the front door light just flickers - so it was really dark. On the back porch the lights that line above the deck don't work either. The other suggestion: put in a garbage disposal.

Guest Comments:
Our family had a good time at the cabin, it was out first time staying at a cabin in Tennessee so it was a bit scary at first trying to find it and seeing the roads to it how scary it was. Besides the drive, these were some amenities that were not fully working like one of the arcade games. The hot tub you could tell hadn't been fully cleaned, the water looked green, the jacuzzi when we ran it the water was kind of dark. The water in the sinks were boiling hot we had to turn it down a bit. We were unable to figure out how to turn on the lights outside so we took our dogs out in the dark. The WIFI was also SUPER spotty, but I mean it is a cabin in the middle of the woods so, wasn't expecting much. REGARDLESS, we had a good time, and definitely recommend it to others, just might opt for a hotel next time we go down to Tennessee.

This is my second year staying at river retreat. I absolutely love the location, the view and the cabin. Last year there were some issues with cleanliness and maintenance, but all were resolved this year. Everyone was extremely helpful, kind and knowledgeable. Overall I will continue to come back every year. My only recommendation would be for an upstairs bathroom. The owner did an amazing job on decorating and giving you the entire cabin feel and not being commercial. Love i! Thank you for another amazing stay ????

Check in was super easy. We went to the main office bc we had to show proof of veteran status for 5% discount. We really enjoyed this cabin. Our phone service was horrible but we enjoyed that part lol. We have 3 boys 16,12 and 11 and they played for hours in the river, it isn't very deep. We brought river tubes and they just floated around. The internet was horrible as we couldn't even get Netflix to load on the tv. Our only complaint was the hot tub wasn't clear and had a green tint to it, but our kids didn't mind and jumped right in. We would definitely recommend this cabin to others.

I wish we could have stayed longer, when we got lost getting to our cabin, your staff member patiently walked us all the way there we really appreciate her patience in helping us, that really made our stay even more pleasant, as my daughter drove I wrote the directions down and was able to use each day (thank you) I took some beautiful pictures and have shown to many of my friends and told them how relaxing our stay was, we have always visit Tennessee our last visit was in 2016, loved it then, so we will be back again " Cabin USA is the ideal vacation " Thank you"

The River Retreat property has all that you will need to relax and enjoy vacation. The view from the balconies is awesome, listening to the river flow is great. I recommend fishing with a regular line instead of fly fishing, there's lots of fun to be had. The cabin has all the essential needs including video games and plenty of TVs for everyone. The ride to the cabin is a bit steep, but don't let it detour you. Great spot for family enjoyment.

The hot tub smelled like mildew. Did not use after taking cover off and noticing mold/mildew odor. Very inconvenience when the electric power went down on 2nd day in evening. Luckily we brought a flashlight. Need to install a bathroom on main floor. This cabin did not sleep 10. It was comfortable for 4 adults.

We love the river behind the cabin and all the outdoor stuff . The road to this cabin is a little crazy but worth the drive . Sitting on the porch drinking coffee and listening to the river is the best part !

We really enjoyed our stay. The only suggestion I could think to add would be a full length mirror, and we had to go buy trash bags. There were no trash bags in the kitchen. Also if you have little ones (we have a 1.5 year old) be very careful about the stairs. We brought a baby gate with us to keep him from falling down the stairs, but unfortunately the space is too wide and a baby gate didn't fit. So we had to keep it blocked off with chairs and a large tote we bought. Other than that it was a beautiful cabin. We really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back.

Guest Comments:
Our experience at River Retreat was pretty great! There were some fairly minor maintenance items that honestly had probably never been reported. All very minor. We reported them in a note before we left.

We did have some noise issues at the cabin two doors down, but when we called they said they would call the people staying there and ask them to turn down their music. Surprisingly they did. It would be nice if the company had a policy around noise they could and would be willing to enforce. Luckily the tenants did turn the music off (it was 10:30 at night).

Would have been good to know in advance that the gas grill is pre-plumbed for propane so we didn't have to bring our own tank. So that was a nice surprise. We also LOVED the fire pit on the deck! That was a surprise and we loved it!

This particular cabin needs a refresh on the pots and pans. There is really only one sauté pan which really wasn't enough for us. But lots of utensils, plates, bowels, and cups.

One nice thing about this company as apposed to others is the amount of dishwasher packets they leave, and the fact that there was some laundry detergent also. That's nice and unexpected. Previous companies we have used only supplied one or two dishwasher packets.

The cabin is definitely ready for a deep clean. There were some cobwebs and the showers were fairly bad with mildew. That's not really any different than other cabins though.

Some reviews have mentioned the fact that there is no bathroom on the main floor. That is correct. I was a little worried about this since I have a bad knee and am currently pregnant. So I'm going to the bathroom quite a lot. But it honestly wasn't a big deal for me. Sure it would be nice if there was a 1/2 bath upstairs, but I wouldn't let that discourage you from this cabin honestly.

You will enjoy this cabin. It's one of the nicest we've found that is pet friendly! It also had a very nice little "fenced" area that was perfect for potty time. Grass needed mowing, but again, fairly minor item.

We look forward to returning someday!

When we got to the cabin we noticed it was pretty warm in there and realized the air wasn’t working. I called the office and they sent someone to fix it. He showed up at 8 and was there til 11pm. The guy was super nice and I knew he was sticking around to make sure the AC thawled out to be able to kick on. The air did kick on and started cooling down finally after it already started cooling down outside. So the first night wasn’t too great. I’m really not a complainer but figured the cleaning crew would have noticed the cabin was pretty warm in there. The WiFi was horrible the password I was sent didn’t work to connect so we looked on the modem and the password was there. The WiFi lagged on the phones and the kids had their Xbox and was super laggy. I just used my data because it was a lot faster. As for cleanliness the place was spotless inside. Outside not so much. The ashtray can was full to the top. Trash was on the ground by the evergreens and fire pit. The hot tub was nice but the water was a greenish color and needed to be cleaned. Like I said I’m not a complainer but for what we paid just for 2 nights I wasn’t satisfied. The air and WiFi was a big deal to us. Listening to my wife complain about how hot it was non stop didn’t make the place welcoming. As for my kids and their Xbox not connecting to the WiFi was never ending complaining. Kids now days don’t take nature too well in the rain so being stuck indoors the games keep them occupied. Other than these issues the place was perfect! The nicest cabin I have ever seen or been to in my life hands down! The river was the main reason I booked this cabin. I fly fish and I didn’t get to fish because of the rain non stop but that wasn’t no issue I’m use to it every time we visit the smokies. I was in a cabin across the river earlier this year and noticed River Mist Lodge signs and that’s how I found River Retreat. I would definitely be willing to revisit the cabin but it stays booked up. We are actually going to be in the 4th of July weekend with more family and plan on staying 4-5 nights. The cabin was already booked and the others next door but will keep searching for a cabin 2-3 bedrooms near the river if possible or nice Mountain View’s. Like I said I’m not writing a bad review on the the cabin just the experience.

Thank you,
Tommy Robins

Out stay was wonderful! The only problem we had was your lawn care company.My husband does the same thing for a living.Not only did they take 4 hours just to cut the 3 properties plus ours.It took them 2 hours alone to just cut the one we were staying in.We had Dogs, so not only did it completely freak one of them out.We could not use our back yard area for almost 4 hours saturday because they were sitting on our benches taking breaks every 20 minutes or so.They also left their lawn equipment laying in the yard and on the benches on the property.Such as 2 gas cans, and a weed eater .One thing that did not bother us, but just a heads up.There was a dirty grilling spatula left inside of the grill.Other then that it was an amazing getaway from all of the craziness!We love getting our Cabins through you guys!We never use anyone else! Thank you guys for always making sure people have amazing stays!You guys are awesome!!

Cabin was very nice! The property was also nice will be great when they get finished with the yard work . The only complaints would be this cabin has only 2 bathrooms and they are down stairs and the only way to get to the outside to the back is thur the bedrooms . The kitchen is lacking , I went and bought forks cause there was only four for 8 people .( I did leave them for next guest) No insert for crockpot hardly any pots and pan . They did bring me big spoons and spatula and blankets. Floating and playing in the creek was great. I would rent again in the river mist community but different cabin .

The cabin was amazing. I had read some reviews and was a little skeptical but when we arrived, WOW! Yes there were some minor things like the 2nd bedroom TV had no cable but my kids brought their PlayStation and were able to watch Netflix so problem solved. Other minor issue was the Wi-Fi connection that cut in and out but we were in the mountains so oh well. We did however wake up to a flat tire and there was a gentleman working on the property named Glen and he went out of his way to find an air compressor to pump up the tire so we could go get it fixed. He went above and beyond his job and we are very grateful. We also were running low on trash bags and toilet paper and he went and found the housekeeping and got us more of what we needed. I was very impressed and will definitely be returning. The small things were definitely outweighed by all of the amazing and wonderful things. We were able to relax, bond, and make memories that will last forever!

Guest Comments:
Our cabin was VERY nice and VERY comfortable. It was pretty clean inside. As for the outside, the upstairs deck seemed like it hadn't been cleaned for quite a while. The tables were not clean and there were way too many cobwebs everywhere. I certainly can understand that some of this can accumulate fairly quickly but it seemed like it hadn't been touched in a while. Same with the front door area. All in all, however, this was a minor concern, considering that the inside was BEAUTIFUL and well decorated! Loved the fire pit on the deck! I wasn't crazy about the bathroom sinks. They were cute but not practical. Couldn't get the water temperature adjusted and the sink was just not easy to use and drain. The showers were AWESOME though! The jacuzzis were very nice, as were the hot tubs. Wish there had been an iron and ironing board and wish there was a full length mirror somewhere in the cabin. The only mirrors in the cabin were the ones over the bathroom sinks. We never did figure out how to get one of the TV's downstairs to work. I had some pretty tech savvy relatives staying in the cabins alongside ours and they couldn't get it to work either. I did not report this, as it was not needed that much anyway. However, I did report the light in one of the bathrooms twice and the same gentleman answered both times. Nobody ever came to fix it. I didn't call again. The reason I didn't call again was because we had family members and friends staying in the River Adventure Lodge two cabins down from ours who could not shower or do laundry because they had almost NO WATER during their ENTIRE stay. I felt a non-working light was not worth crying about! They had to come up to my cabin to shower and do laundry during their entire stay because even though they called your company on it multiple times, it was never fixed. My family and friends actually had the whole row of six cabins rented out that week, from River Mist clear down to River Adventure. Loved the area and the river and hope to come back next year but not if the water issue is not taken care of in River Adventure!

If there was a number higher than ten for the cleanliness of this cabin I would have scored it higher. Kudos to the cleaning crew , this cabin was beautiful. The photos on the website are right on for this cabin, and everything was in working order. The location near the river is so calming. I have only one problem with this cabin and it is the fact that there are now blinds or window treatments in the upper level , and strips of the blinds missing on the bedroom door to the deck. There is also no privacy to the bathrooms due to a pane of glass in the showers. The cabin is gorgeous, well equipped , in a beautiful location , and when you consider a hotel would have cost just as much in Pigeon Forge , the cabin is a clear choice.

My wife and I absolutely Loved this cabin! The cabin is exactly what it looks like it in pictures. The whirlpool Tub was Huge and the showers were Great! The beds were very comfortable and big. We never used the Hot Tub outside but I am sure it would of been relaxing. We cooked out one evening and the grill worked well. We really enjoyed the TV outside and the gas fire pit on the deck. My Wifes favorite part of the stay was sitting on the upstairs deck in the morning with her coffee just listening to the river and watching the geese fly in. It was a very peaceful stay and we will definitely be staying at this cabin again. Thank You Cabins USA for supplying great service and a great cabin!

10's across the board!!! Nicely done. The only 7 was due to comfort. I wish as a part of booking we would have been told we needed to bring grocery items such as ketchup, sugar, etc but that utensils are provided. This would have made preparation tighter as nothing is close to the cabin so we needed to make a couple trips into town to pick stuff up. Other than that, perfect experience!!!

Our family of 4 adults and 2 children stayed for a total of 7 nights and we have the following feedback to share:

Pros
*Lovely, unique furnishings in the home with beautiful décor.
*Quaint, peaceful location by the river. Loved hearing the sound of the river, fishing in it, playing in it, etc.
*Decent location in relation to Dollywood, Gatlinburg, the national park, etc.
*Beautifully designed showers in the bathrooms.
*The kids really enjoyed the video games.
*Washer/Dryer came in handy, although, why wasn't this advertised as an amenity? We would have packed differently had we known the cabin had these.

Cons
*NOTE: If internet service is important to you, you will want to read this. The owners of the cabin do not offer unlimited WiFi internet service. The previous guest used up all of the data that is allowed in the service plan for the month which meant that we had excruciatingly slow to essentially no service the entire week we were there. Called Cabins USA multiple times to try to sort this out since we found it to be incredibly unfair. They refused to call the owner to ask for more data. The previous guest should have been penalized for maxing out the data and we should have received adequate internet service as advertised. Cabins USA did nothing to resolve this issue and had the gall to claim that at least we had "some" internet.
*The advertised so-called "Nature Trail" is a joke. The entrance is essentially blocked by debris, clutter, and equipment and once you get past all of this, the trail is so overgrown and littered with building supplies.
*The kitchen is not well-stocked. There were a total of 4 forks for our family of 6 for the entire week. There weren't any measuring cups, only 1 or 2 measuring spoons, and not enough saucepans.
*The cabin needs a coat rack, hangers for the closet space, and hooks for towels. There is absolutely nowhere to hang your coats or towels.
*The hot tub was disgusting. The water was green and there was a slimy film in the tub.
*There are corn hole and ladder ball toss games outside, but no bags or game pieces to be found anywhere. Games were useless.
*One of the bathroom sinks had a leaky faucet that dripped all day and night.
*Grill grates could have used a really good cleaning.

In April of this year, we got a cabin that was full of bee's, so we asked cabins usa to replace us. After seeing a second cabin, we weren't satisfied because it didn't have the amenities that the first cabin had. So after some back and forth, Cabins USA's staff made it a priority to satisfy our needs and placed us in the river retreat. We fell in love with this cabin and if it wasn't for the staff, I would've never known anything about this property!! My family returned to this property this past week and we will be returning over and over again calling this property our best retreat ever. Aside from the wifi that never works, Thank you for making this vacation one of the best. We will be back, hopefully for a family reunion. Thanks again!!

Loved the cabin and location. Can't beat being right on the river. LOVED the video game table. We thought the bar on the upper deck was a really nice touch. It was great to sit out there listening to the river. The big TV in the LR was excellent!
These are my suggestions:
Replace the bed pillows in the BR with the king bed. They are stained (disgusting!) and pretty flat.
Shampoo the carpet at the bottom of the stairs (stains) or better yet, put down hard wood floors there too.
Get a handle on the bottom door of the fridge. Strange that there wasn't one.
Fix the ice maker. I did not report that it was broken, we just made our own.
Bigger bath towels, or just more of them.
Washer/dryer?
There was no dish drainer.
There needs to be either curtains or blinds on the front door and kitchen window.
We would definitely consider this cabin again in hopes that some of the above is addressed.
Thank you.
