There were a lot of lady bugs around but it wasn't so bad that it ruined the experience. the biggest issue was the trash collection. We had 12 people in the cabin for 7 days and no trash pickup. We ran out of space in the trash cans by mid week. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay and would probably stay again

Property was o.k. and bedrooms are the best amenities. However, sleeping couches need to be replaced. Overall, I would recommend this Cabin a good stay.

There was no mop, broom, the floors were dirty so I had to go buy a mop and broom, there was no large pot. It was out of propane so we had to buy it for the grill. Other than that the stay was wonderful.

Guest Comments:
The cabin was perfectly located and gave us a great place to rest and enjoy our vacation.
The only two things that were not helpful was that the mattress situation is really bad. All the beds mattresses are old and out of shape. It left us hurting by the last day. Also we experienced 3 maintenance issues while we were there, Mai lightbulb out in the stairwell, hot tub overheated and turned off with no instructions, and the window leaked during a storm which left us mopping up water and cleaning the walls at 4 am.
It was a great stay with some issues that have been reported and hopefully will be resolved (a maintenance man came and fixed the light. He said they will have to call for help with the window.)

We loved our stay! It was easy check-in and check-out. Loved the view and the double porch. Hot tub was a hit. Spacious and never felt over crowded for our group. Close to everything. Even got to watch fireworks from dollywood. Only flaws was the beds. To much noise. Every time you moved it was a horrible. I would make sure to mabye clean the fans that were caked on w dust. And I don't think guest empty the lint trap of the dryer. Other then those few things that need improved.. I would stay here again. If the beds were fixed not to make that much noise.

Our cabin was very nice and just like the pictures on line. Should remove the bugs from the light covers that was kind of gross. Dishwasher didn't work and bathroom was missing a vent cover. I called right away and someone was out at cabin couple hours later so good service there.

Guest Comments:
The overall stay was fine but the cabin had several issues that made it less than what I expected.
The dishwasher was broken, which we had been made aware of the day of check in, but it looked as if it may have been broken for awhile and it had not been addressed. If there had been more of us eating/drinking at the cabin, keeping the dishes washed up would have been a task that I would not have wanted to spend my vacation time on. There should have been some money credited to my stay for the inconvenience, in my opinion.
The shower head in the main floor bathroom does not allow water to come out very well. Just a small stream of water comes out. The other shower heads downstairs seemed to work very well though.
The mattresses on all of the b dis were very noisy when we would try to turn over, etc. They just seemed to be very worn out and were very soft too. I understand that the bed will not be like my own at home, but the owners may consider changing these out for some newer and less noisy mattresses.
Lastly, we could not get the TV's in most of the rooms to work. My daughter, who can usually figure anything out electronic wise, could not get them to work. Maybe having a step by step instruction sheet for each TV in each room would be good, since there were multiple remotes with each one and there could be different instructions for different brands of TV/remote. At midnight, there is not someone to call to ask about getting the TV to work.

Hello,
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The only problem we had was that the hot tub had molded water in it and we were unable to enjoy that amenity. And the pool was closed.


There were a few broken pieces of furniture in the cabin when we arrived as well.

I know it says amenities aren't guaranteed but face it, that's how you advertise the cabin and that is what helps the guest choose a property. So, if something you were looking forward to isn't working properly then it can be very disappointing.

Shakonohey had enough room for our party of 11. However, the cabin owner needs to update the wi-fi in the cabin or they need to tell people there is no internet. It was like dial-up! One person could log-on but no-one else could. Wi-fi signal much better at the pool. The owners also need to update the appliances. We had to call Cabins USA about the dishwasher handle being broke when we arrived. They sent a maintenance man but he had to order a part so we had to do dishes by hand. Cabins USA was awesome about getting someone out to check that and to pick up garbage!! Would recommend Cabins USA but not sure about this cabin!! First bad experience with a cabin! We have rented several times from Cabins USA with no problems!!

Guest Comments:
The cabin was not as clean as I would have liked. There were ladybugs everywhere; in the showers, all over the floors and they landed on your neck while you were trying to sleep. The microwave was greasy.

It was described as a luxury cabin but I do not agree with the description. The tables were all scratched, the rugs are worn and the lower level furniture was old. There is no bathroom for one of the lower level bedrooms. Some of the tile in bathrooms were cracked. For a cabin that holds twelve, the washer and dryer are not adequate.

The staff was very helpful when we called needing additional linens and towels and when we reported that the TV remotes did not work and needed new batteries.

Check-in and out was great with no issues!

The cabin was beautiful and spacious, wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of it and the surrounding nature. The only things that could have been better were the mattresses they were squeaky and you could hear when anyone got in or our of the beds. New mattresses needed. Two of the toilets had problems and a couple of very minor fixes were needed, kudos to the maintenance man, he was courteous, came right away and fixed everything. Thank for a great experience.

We had a wonderful time at the Shakohoney Cabin - We were there with family
celebrating our daughters engagement. The whole process of renting, checking
in and checking out was pretty organized and easy. Our complaint about our
weekend rental were the bathrooms. The toilets did not work properly. It looks
like that is an ongoing problem in this house as the same comments were posted
in the House Comments Book. You would think it would have been addressed
We did have someone come in and fix the downstairs toilet which worked only for
a short time and broke again.

In addition the house could use some platters to serve food on and baking pans.
Other than that, we had a wonderful memorable weekend with our family.

Guest Comments:
Like other reviews on this cabin, I agree the front steps should be replaced. Seemed to be a last minute add on or fix to the cabin. Easy to lose your balance, especially when carrying bags and coolers up and down. As others have commented, the beds were very noisy, but not a big issue for us.

For Amenities, I scored the cabin a 5 of 10. The outdoor grill was adequate at best. Only charcoal. A propane grill would be much more suitable for many quests. TV controls were confusing and some missing batteries. Internet was slow when used by multiple people.

The cabin is located basically in a subdivision, and very close proximity to other cabins. With that said, there was no noise factor from other cabin guests. The view was very nice.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Shakonohey Cabin. It was a great home base to visit all the local attractions and also provided for some much needed relaxation. We enjoyed the hot tub, clean cabin, and the view! Just a few suggestions for improvement: 1) The kitchen was not stocked with a dishtowel or washcloth, which required a trip into town to purchase to wipe down tables and counters 2) No lighter or match to start the grill 3) Upon arrival, we found a significant amount of trash strewn down the hill, mostly likely by wildlife, not people, but it seemed strange that the cleaning staff did not notice it clean it up. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others, just wanted to let you know of possible improvements. Thank you!

I always enjoy my stay in the cabins. This year I had a bedroom downstairs and could hear the creaking of the steps and dripping of water from the bathroom upstairs which was annoying. I could hear everything in the bedroom next to the one I stayed in. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

This was a wonderful cabin with a beautiful view! We absolutely loved the location, only 5 minutes from Dollywood with easy access to the main strip. We loved the size & it was very very clean!! Only negative was the mattresses are not the most comfortable & are noisy. There was not many dishes such as mixing bowls or utensils to cook with. The can opener did not work. Thankfully we brought a lot of things in to cook with. Otherwise the cleanliness,roomy living space, & location was awesome!!!

We had a great stay, the love seat in the cabin is peeling, we couldn't really sit on it without having black on us. That was a little disappointing, we didn't have a vacuum or even a good broom to use so the cleaning staff didn't have a huge mess of toddler crumbs. The steps in and out of the cabin need to be replaced ASAP, the are extremely dangerous, one of our guests fell and hurt herself. Also the dishwasher didn't shut itself off.

This was one out of five cabins that I booked for my family, this one had great views but the furniture was worn and needs to updated. The wifi is horrible!!! There was a slight odor in this cabins also. Cabins USA is the only way I book cabins, but I will make sure not to get cabins located in this area again! For some family members this was their first cabin experience and I was hoping they would get a great cabin experience and they did not, and they makes me feel awful:( I will not recommend cabins in this area to anyone!!! Just update things inside and work on the wifi!

All in all it is a great cabin and we always stay with Cabins USA. Shakonhey is great but the sofa bed mattress are in very bad shape and need to be replaced they are extremely worn and have holes in them with springs coming thru. Makes for very uncomfortable sleep! The internet is also bad you can't use more than one or two devices at a time and part of the time it wouldn't work even if that. However other than that we loved our stay and would stay again. Thanks

We really had a great time! We enjoyed the cabin. There were a few little hiccups that we felt worthy of mentioning, the name is not on the front of the cabin so we had a little trouble finding it. The light over the pool table did not work, we call maintaince and the person that came didn't know how to fix it, luckily one of our guest was a master electrician and fixed the problem, he also fixed the ice maker as well! There really was not enough towels to accomadate 10 people. But we made do. The Tv's were so complicated to use! You definitely needed to be tech savy! The beds were very squeaky!!! And the sofa sleepers were very worned! Other than that the cabin was really nice and provided a great view! We will definitely use this cabin again!

Nice cabin, clean also. we use Cabins usa almost always. Shakonohey wasn't my favorite due to location of cabin, parking was not the best, parking on steep hill made it worse. The masterbedroom door that goes into bathroom, kept hitting each other.

We loved our cabin but there were things that could be improved. Whoever cleaned the cabin before we got there didn't do a good job. The entire cabin had dust everywhere, especially the laundry area. It had dust balls and socks pushed to the side of the washer. There were spider webs and built up dust on both decks everywhere , the windows were dirty ( looked like they hadn't been washed in a long time ) , one rocking chair was broken and had a rung missing, the shade in one of the downstairs bedroom was all messed up, the same bedroom had no ceiling fan and was hot the entire stay since the vent was working, the dishwasher didn't work at all, and there was a huge spider in that same bedroom that my husband had to kill. It scared out two grandsons really bad. The cabin was nice, but I was very disappointed to see the shape it was in . Scratches all over the floor by the sofa, stain spots on the table and overall just not clean. We would rent from your company again , just not the same cabin. We did add an extra night on to our stay , but it was because we needed one more day to do everything we needed to do and we were settled in there. I'm sorry this review is negative, but I think you would want the truth.

But overall, 6 of us are very enjoy the rest of the staying, especially the mountain view and it is a very spacious cabin.
The staffs response our call or question very quickly and helpful.

This was a very nice cabin with a terriffic view. The cabin was clean and comfortable enough for the 6 adults and 6 children in our group. The only complaint that we have is that the kitchen is ill equipped to cook for 12 people. There were plenty of dishes, bowls, glasses and silverware, but the pots and pans leave much to be desired. There was 1, 10" skillet and 1, 8" skillet, both non stick and in bad shape. In addition, the charcol grill is very small. We had to purchase an inexpensive grill to accommodate our grilling. There were no brooms, mops or dustpans that we could locate. We would not shy away from using this cabin again, but if you visit with a larger group and plan to do any cooking, make sure to bring your own pots and pans. A short drive up the hill past the cabin will enable guests to have a birdseye view of the fireworks at Dollywood and the drive clear to the top provides some of the most spectacular views around.

I have rented cabins from Cabins USA for the past 8 years. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Check in was painless. Shakonohey was great. The view was excellent. The cabin itself was comfortable and homey. We did have a little masked visitor one night. All and all the vacation was great. I will continue to rent from Cabins USA. Thanks for a great trip.

The cabin was nice the view was wonderful! the hill getting there was a little steep!! The cabin needs some deep cleaning, the fan blades had a lot of dirt on them, I dropped something between the headboard and the wall and under the bed could use a little dusting, The glass doors and windows had finger prints. A few things could be added to the kitchen, measuring cups, measuring spoons and utensils. If you do not have Dish TV using the TV's was a little complicated thankfully one of our kids did know how to operate them. Overall I would rent it again.

We very much enjoyed our stay. However, I would strongly recommend that you ask the owners to obtain an animal-proof garbage can cage for the outdoor cans. When we arrived there was trash all over the yard due to racoons that had been in the trash cans. For the next two nights we had the same problem. Finally we had to move the cans to the back deck which is high enough that the amimals couldn't reach them. Also, the owners need to review the kitchen equipment and make some necessary additions: a small and a large good heavy fry pan, a stew pot, more wine glasses, creamer and sugar bowl, serving platter and bowls, potato masher, oven thermometer, large salad bowl. (We rented the cabin for Thanksgiving week and cooked our holiday meal there for 12 people so had to call folks and ask them to bring these things.) But all and all we had a lovely time.

Thank you for choosing Cabins USA and Shakonohey for your holiday stay! We are pleased to inform you that since your stay, a new bear proof trash can has been installed so there should be no more issues with animals getting into the trash. We apologize that you needed extra items during your stay as Shakonohey is well stocked with needed kitchen items. The cabin was prepared with additional items, however some items that are used at a special holiday meal are not normally included in most cabin's kitchen inventory. Thank you again for choosing Cabins USA, we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Cabin was beautiful with a beautiful view off of the balcony. One thing I did not realize was that this would be a cabin right next to others. We did not have any issues, but others may want to know this. Based on other reviews, we kept our garbage in the cabin until we left because the garbage was not secure from animals like it was for other cabins. The deck into the cabin smelled like garbage.....needs to be pressure washed. Cabin was pretty clean inside. However, we did noticed as everyone wore their socks around that the floors were filthy. Everything else seemed to be very clean. The hot tub appeared very clean and the kids enjoyed getting in it several times. Upon entering the cabin smelled of the previous guests breakfast.......would like to have a fresher smell upon entering. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and did not realize we did not have the password to the wireless internet, so we had to wait until the next morning to call. This info should be posted in the cabin. Once on the internet, it was extremely slow and not really worth using. This cabin has one master on the main, with a bathroom shared with the main area. On the second level there are three bedrooms, two king and one queen. One king has ensuite bathroom and the other two bedrooms share a bathroom off of the basement main area where the pool table is. Beds were ok.....not super comfortable, a lot of folks in our party complained about the comfort of the mattresses.....sheets were thin. This cabin is part of a resort and there are some windy narrow roads to get to the resort. The resort has a covered pool, which we did not use. The cabin is on a very steep hill it even taxed our 4x4 Excursion getting up to the cabin. Parking is on a slope. There is no flat area for the kids to play. Also the fireplaces are electric, so no firewood necessary, much to my husband's dismay. Overall this was a great cabin with a few minor deficiencies.

Thank you for choosing to stay with Cabins USA. We apologize for some of the inconveniences you experienced during your stay but are pleased that you enjoyed the cabin and would recommend it to others. The porches at this cabin have been pressure washed this week as of 10/18. This is something that we do at all cabins when the time allows between reservations. We are pleased to inform you that since your stay, a new bear proof trash can has been installed so there will be no more issues with animals getting into the trash. Thank you again for choosing to stay in Shakonohey; we look forward to seeing you as a guest in the future!

The only concern I had was not having a place to put extra trash (dumpster). We had to pick up trash from the porck because of the critters.

The location of the cabin was great! Great views! Cleanliness, not so much. If you are planning on using the supplied pots and pans, don't! Bring your own! We did have a few other 'not so clean' issues. Planning on playing pool at night? Good luck. There is not enough light above the balls to keep from having bad shadows cast on the table. Most of the other cabins on the hill have bear proof trash containers. Ours, did not. This will have you picking up trash late at night when the 3 coons visit your porch and scare the crap out of your family coming up the steps after dark.
The booking process was easy, as was the check in/out process.

Extremely pleased with the cabin and the entire experience of our stay. Shakonohey is a beautiful cabin and the amenities and view are extraordinary. My only recommendation for improvement would be to provide an enclosure for the garbage cans at this cabin. We had several nights where the plastic cans were chewed and tipped over. We saw a family of at least 4 raccoons at our cabin and neighbors saw a small bear as well. We were not concerned about the native wildlife in the area, but their access to garbage can be a problem. Thank you for a very enjoyable and pleasant stay! Dan Ward
