Accommodations By Great Cabins In The Smokies, LLC has taken great efforts to ensure that your rental home is in superior condition and supplied with all the amenities necessary to make your vacation wonderful and memorable.

We do everything to keep all appliances and equipment in good working order. Most of the cabins we manage are on well water and septic systems. Please do not flush tampons, sanitary napkins, condoms or paper towels down the toilet. Do not put food or grease down the kitchen sink. These actions can/will cause serious plumbing damage.
We understand that when a rental home is being used, items within the home can become worn out under normal usage. We ask that you immediately report any damage or breakage to our office. We can then take the necessary steps to repair or replace the damaged item. However, damage can also occur that is beyond normal wear and tear or usage. As the renter, you will be held responsible for any damage occurring, which is above and beyond that occurring during normal use of the home.

If something is not working properly, we will do our best to get it corrected. However, no refunds will be issued for non-working amenities, equipment malfunctions (hot tubs, TVs, internet, satellite or cable, Jacuzzis, DVD players, etc.) early departures for ANY REASON, acts of God or weather conditions.
Rental rates and specials may change, but you agree to be bound by the rates and specials in effect at the time of reserving the cabin. Communication about a reservation, even after departure, must only be with the guest named on the reservation.
Maximum Occupancy for each cabin is strictly enforced. Every rental cabin has a stated maximum occupancy limit which must be adhered to by rental guests. If any rental party is found to be in excess of the maximum occupancy for that cabin, guests will be asked to vacate the premises and no refund will be issued. If a disruptive party or situation develops or is suspected, all guests will be evicted and no refund will be issued. Accommodations By Great Cabins In The Smokies, LLC reserves the right to refuse service to anyone who they feel does not serve the best interests of the owner of the cabin.

Some of our rental cabins are equipped with outdoor cameras. None of our cabins have cameras located inside the cabin / unit. Please check the individual cabin listing for this information.

When you book your stay with Accommodations By Great Cabins In The Smokies, LLC, you have the option to purchase the Peace Of Mind Reservation Guarantee. The Peace Of Mind Reservation Guarantee works like this: 8% of your Rental Amount for the cabin is charged to you. By choosing to add the Peace Of Mind Reservation Guarantee, this allows you to receive either a refund or reschedule (less the 8% guarantee amount and applicable taxes). You must cancel the reservation at least 15 days prior to arrival to receive the refund. If you have to cancel inside the 15 days, you may still cancel the reservation. We place your money in a Holding Tank” and allow you up to 2 years to reschedule your stay. You retain the same reservation number and you do not have to reserve the same cabin when you rebook. However, if the new cabin you are booking costs less than the original booking, we do not refund the difference. Once the 2-year time frame has ended, all monies paid will be forfeited.
Important Details: When you re-book your stay, you may re-purchase the Peace Of Mind Reservation Guarantee. The cost will be dependent upon the rental dollar amount. However, if you should need to cancel your re-booked stay in the future, you will not be entitled to any sort of refund. Rescheduled reservations are non-refundable. The Peace Of Mind Reservation Guarantee would allow you the option to reschedule only. Without the Reservation Guarantee, no refunds or reschedules will be allowed.
Early Departures: We do not offer any sort of refund or reschedule.
In the event of inclement weather moving into the area, we will notify you prior to arrival and give you the opportunity to delay your arrival or reschedule your stay without penalty. Oftentimes, we do not know until the weather actually arrives as to how bad the roads and conditions may be. The county does not treat the roads to the cabins. This being stated, if you insist on coming to the area and make it to the cabin and the power should go out, we do not offer refunds for power outages. So, if we call you, please take a moment and think about what we are telling you as well as the suggestion(s) we offer.
On the day of check out, if inclement weather permits you from leaving the cabin, you will be responsible for the additional night(s) rent. We do our best to communicate with guests regarding the incoming weather. It is also your responsibility to keep an eye on the weather.
We understand that life happens. We allow you to make one date or cabin change to your reservation without penalty. Any additional changes will result in a $100 charge. If you must make a change, you must do so 30 days or more prior to arrival date. Once inside this time frame (30 days) no changes can be made.
Cleaning Fee: A departure cleaning fee is charged to each reservation. The hot tubs are drained, cleaned and refilled after each stay.
Processing Fee: Each reservation is billed a $55 processing fee. This fee helps us to cover processing expenses, overhead expenses, etc.
Damage Waiver Fee: For 1-5 bedroom cabins, the fee will assist you in up to $500 in accidental damages. This is an optional fee for our 1 and 2 bedroom cabins. On all 3 bedrooms and larger cabins / homes, this fee is required. The Damage Waiver Fee is non-refundable and damages must be reported to the office.

Emotional Support Animals:
Per official ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidance, emotional support animals (ESAs) are not covered by federal public accommodations laws. We do not accept emotional support animals in non-pet friendly cabins since these animals are not protected by any applicable federal, state, or local laws or regulations regarding short term lodging in Tennessee. Renters with emotional support animals may only bring their ESA with them if they are staying in a pet friendly cabin and pay the relevant $75.00 non-refundable pet fee. Renters with service animals for a disability are explicitly protected under both federal and state law. The ADA defines service animals as dogs that have been “trained to perform a task directly related to a person’s disability.” Service animals are explicitly protected under both state and federal law, and, as such, are welcome in any of our cabins.
If personal items are found after your departure, we will make every effort to contact the owner to make arrangements to have items returned. As a reminder, we are not responsible for any lost, stolen, damaged, or left behind items. You are responsible for the shipping/handling charges for any items left behind that you wish to have returned.
If you leave behind your firearm, your firearm will be turned into our local law enforcement agency. We do not transport them to the office. You will have to contact the local authorities to retrieve your firearm.
The use of Fireworks, Chinese Lanterns & / Or Celebratory Gunfire at your cabin is absolutely prohibited. Participating in one or more of these acts will result in your immediate eviction from the premises without any sort of refund.
Most of our owners have LOCKED Owner's Closets on premises. You are renting a cabin that is owned by an individual person(s). The Owner's Closets ARE NOT part of your rental accommodations. Breaking and Entering into an Owner's Closet is a punishable offense. The person whose name is on the reservation is responsible for ALL members of his/her group. NO EXCEPTIONS! The Owner's Closets are checked after each stay. If found tampered with after your departure, the authorities will be promptly notified. A police report will be filed. The owner of the property will be notified. Depending upon the nature of the offense, you could be charged for missing items from the closet or the owner of the property may decide to pursue the matter legally. The minimum charge for breaking into or tampering with an owner closet is $500.00. Your initials above are for the approval of the charge.
****When you arrive at the cabin, you need to check all locked closets and report anything you consider suspicious to the office immediately. Do not wait 3 or 4 days into your stay and then decide to report what you saw upon arrival. We do not own any of the properties we manage. It is our responsibility to protect our owners and the contents of their cabin. When guests break into a Locked Owner's Closet, this is not only an invasion of privacy but also a violation of personal property. If a door in the cabin is locked - leave it locked.
The hot tubs at all of our rental homes are drained, cleaned and refilled after each stay. There is a Bromine Holder that floats around in the water and is not a toy. Do not remove the Bromine Holder. Its purpose is to keep the bromine in the water, thus helping to sanitize the water.
When you arrive at the cabin, the water in the hot tub may still be cold. It takes several hours for the hot tubs to heat back up once we refill them with cold water.
Important Details:
Fireplaces are operational October through March and are not available for use during the months of April through September.
If your cabin is equipped with a wood burning fireplace, you must supply your own wood, matches, and fire starter logs. You must purchase wood locally. Do Not bring wood from home. You could introduce a new species detrimental to the trees in the area. Please refer to Do Not Move Firewood Dot Org if you have questions. On their site it states the following: “The state of Tennessee prohibits the entry of out-of-state firewood unless it has been certified, heat-treated and is properly labeled.” So, just purchase your wood from the gas station or Knock Out Firewood located at 3264 Wears Valley Road Sevierville, TN. They are next door to our office.
Gas log fireplaces should be operational by turning the timer on. If the gas fireplace does not work, you need to call the office immediately. Do not attempt to fix the fireplace yourself. Do not tamper with the logs. A minimum of $350 will be billed to the card on file if you choose to re-arrange the logs / tamper with the fireplace.
Unfortunately, sometimes the fireplaces need repairs and the repair may not be something that can happen immediately. If this occurs, please note that we do not offer any refunds or relocations for the fireplace being out of order during your stay. We will try to get the matter resolved quickly and efficiently without too much interruption during your stay.
We make every effort to ensure that we address all maintenance issues at our cabins prior to a guest’s arrival. We truly want your stay to be uneventful. However, just like at home, things can and do occasionally break down. When this happens, you need to notify us immediately so that we may address and resolve the issue expeditiously.
We do not offer refunds for maintenance issues, acts of nature, or any matters within or outside of our control, etc.
After-hours emergency telephone numbers are available and provided in the welcome package. THESE TELEPHONE NUMBERS ARE FOR MAJOR EMERGENCIES ONLY, PLEASE. (Heat/AC not working, smell of gas, no water, no power, locked out, etc.)
Important Fact: For an actual emergency, call 911.
On the day of arrival, at 11 AM EST, you will receive an email for After Hours Emergencies and Departure Information. This email contains the after-hours emergency number you may contact after hours.
Occasionally, cabin properties are sold and property management transferred. While we will do everything we can to honor all existing reservations for that property. We may have to transfer a reservation to another, similar rental property. In these instances, we will do our best to provide new accommodations equivalent to or better than the original reserved property if at all possible. If no properties are available, we reserve the right to cancel your reservation with a full refund and you will need to find accommodations elsewhere on your own. This is a rare occurrence; however, we address it now so that you may understand the process should this occur.
